Video : Remember Paper Piecing?

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

Back with an oldie but a goodie, it’s time to paper piece and this little hippo from Gerda Steiner, a newly added stamp line at Scrapbook Boutique (YaY!) couldn’t resist a Lawn Fawn Plaid Rainbow super hero outfit…   or was it me that couldn’t resist lol, just let me know if you think this is cruelty to animals, or do you think he looks happy in his little outfit?  Anyhow, there is a video of the process

You can see it here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Video: Neat & Tangled Guest Designer – Floral Hearts : Two Ways!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

Today I have two more cards using some fun products from Neat & Tangled,  this is my last post as Guest Designer…  I can’t believe how quickly this month has flown by.

My focus today is the Floral Heart stamp set and matching die and the video is a little longer than usual as I filmed both cards, almost in production line style.

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

I had to use the Awesome die again, but this time I made it all gold and shiny!

For the remaining sentiments I used the My Favorite Nut stamp set.

I love that the Floral Heart die can be separated, what a genius idea!

Today I have a very clean and simple design to share.  I used one of the cute Penny Black hedgehogs to sit on top of a sentiment that was discarded from a previous card….   and I didn’t want to put it aside because you already know that I would never use it, so while I’m motivated I’m using it!

I used mostly the same products on both cards and kept them clean & simple, but love that they are still different

This month Altenew is introducing Build-A-Flower: Magnolia.  On the 15th of every month a new flower set is released and each set offers a 6×8 stamp set with a coordinating die so you can easily create your projects (it is only available as a set, not as individual products).  Isn’t this Magnolia beautiful!

You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

I decided to stamp out the word ‘you’ with the Calligraphy Alpha stamp set, one of the easiest alpha sets I’ve ever used (it’s so so easy to line up the letters, I love it)!

Colouring on design paper is one of the funnest ideas for sure, and when I saw these little cuties at Scrapbook Boutique, and the rainbow plaid paper, I just had to play!
