Video : 2016 Same but Different Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No.1 – Wreaths (Six Cards)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 32 Comments

I’m so excited to be back this year with my Same but Different Christmas Card Series.  If you were here last year then you know that this series can contain many different ideas / themes / styles…  well, almost as long as it is the ‘Same but Different’ .

Today I thought I would kick things off with a theme, so lots of different products and every card unique but all with a similar theme and colour palette, all to make creating so much quicker and easier.

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

Video : Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends with Scrapbook Boutique!

~ lostinpaper ~ 15 Comments

Today I have a clean and simple card to share for Scrapbook Boutique.  I wanted to play with my new embossing pastes from Ranger, so created my own background and then added some fun images from Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends.  I decided to film as I created so that you could watch the process.

Video : Cards4Men – Using Images: Creating a Shadow with Prismacolor Pencils.

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

Back today with another Cards4Men video and today it’s all about the shadow, a ‘By Request’ video (yes, this is for you Ange).  I’ve used Prismacolor Pencils on this card but you could apply this technique to any kind of medium…  I just find pencils are the easiest for me to blend out.  But with practice, anything is possible (well, nearly lol.)  Remember, after all, it’s just paper!

…it’s just so much is happening around here, I’m moving my room around, I have a new computer, with a new computer program, new office 365 as well as a new video editing program, so needless to say, BIG learning curves happening here on the coast, and with lots of cards to make (wish me luck)!

Masking Gnomes!

~ lostinpaper ~ 25 Comments

Now it’s time for something a little bit busier as there’s been waaay too much clean & simple going on round here.  The Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine had a call for ‘multiple’ masking and I’m not saying that I went overboard (but I came close), I think I was trying to channel my inner Sandy Allnock  creating  a scene with my Copics, she is  such an amazing inspiration!      ps Stoked to say this card made the cover.

Deck the Halls – Just in time!

~ lostinpaper ~ 11 Comments

Just in time…  Merry Christmas to you all!   If things have gone to plan (ie a 7 hour drive Christmas eve with no hiccoughs) I am now at my brother’s enjoying a lovely relaxing Chrissy by the pool and enjoying some great food and bubbles.

Todays cards were published in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for the ‘Just in Time’ feature where the call was to create two similar cards, one that was easy and one more detailed.  Me?   I like the clean and simple one.

Back with another 6 Christmas cards and today is all about using the supplies that I have at hand (ie they may no longer be available but still very easy to replicate).  And keeping with the retro Christmas theme with some ‘non- Christmassy’ papers and a very cas design which is very easy to make multiples of.

It’s something that I’ve had on my ‘to try’ list forever and finally took the plunge to buy the Dove Blender Pen.  I had an old blender that I used rarely and it didn’t work very well and I liked the idea that I can refill the Dove pen and that I can use it with so many different mediums, markers, watercolour pencils, inktense, and today I chose to start out using some Distress inks…..     now I’ve gotta try some others!

Knew that would get you in…..  if you are anything like me, I adore ice-cream and you know how some people have coffee cards and when you get enough stamps you get the next one free, well mine is an ice-cream card, truly!  Anyhoo, my little card making friend turns 7 and I thought I would share the card making process for this cas card so I filmed as I created just in case you wanted to watch.

A quick share today!  I decided to make a card for fun…  and I ‘should‘ be doing other things, how very naughty.  But I’m on holidays and at home with my hubby who has manflu, it’s a very serious condition which requires a lot of attention and ooh’s and aaah’s.   So in the meantime here I am.  I wanted to play at the last Avery Elle challenge but missed it so I was determined to join this one and what a fun sketch it is too.
