Video : 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No 6 – Keeping it Warm!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

I’m sad to say this is my last video in my 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series for this year. And for my final set of cards I’ve gone with a theme, and today we are ‘Keeping it Warm’.

I was asked to create some ‘warm weather’ cards because you may have guessed that I live in Australia and typically our weather is hot at Christmas. And I know crafter’s that struggle with the concept of snow flakes on Australian Christmas cards, yes, Linda I’m talking about you lol.  This is also the lady you can blame for me starting my own blog and submitting for publications, I feel very lucky to call her a friend and an inspiration.

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

Video : 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No 4 – Mass Production Tips – Six Cards!

~ lostinpaper ~ 18 Comments

Welcome back, and we are already into Week 4 of my Christmas Card Series for 2016, can you believe it!  And today it’s all about ‘mass production’ and you all know that sometimes it’s a necessary ‘evil’ lol. but with some slight tweaks they can all be ‘the Same but Different’.

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

There are some great advantages to mass production, the pressure is ‘off’, you don’t have to rethink every card design and while the goodies are out, making multiples of a design certainly is a time saver.  Finally, if it means that your friends and family can receive a hand made card from you this Christmas, that is truly a bonus and I will tell you right now that they will appreciate it, it does not matter that the cards are similar or even the same!

See you again real soon!  Hugs,

Video : Cards 4 Men – Multiple Sentiment Stamping!

~ lostinpaper ~ 24 Comments

What is it about masculine cards, and why am I always running out?   So for today’s video it is time again for another card in my ‘Cards 4 Men – Images’ series.  And one technique that I like, particularly on men’s cards, is to use multiple sentiments.  You can watch my video below to see what I mean…

I think it’s fairly obvious that I was inspired by the roses and that’s because I thought they were so beautiful.  I made my panel easily, but then it took me literally FOREVER (ie over a week) to decide what to do with it from there, so finally I made myself ‘make a decision’ and in came the gold and black, phew.
