Tutor Technique – Double Window Shaker !

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

A bit difficult to photograph but I think you get the picture.  This is a publication share for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where we were asked to share a ‘tutor’ technique, so mine was a double window shaker. Love this fab way to show off these beautiful design papers and stamps!

Video : Masking an Embossed Sentiment – By Request!

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

It seems like I’ve started a new series called ‘By Request‘, it’s quite happened by accident but it’s been fun and given me a little focus, so let me know if there is anything you want me to show or try, as most of the cards I make are created while videoing sometimes with lots of pre-thought sometimes with very little and lots of ‘winging it’ along the way (so a little direction may be good).

This card was a re-creation of this card HERE, and I know it may look very different but it’s really just the same technique with different colours and images.

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

Catching up on some publication shares and I had so much fun making this card, but I gotta say that it took me a while to get here.  I knew I wanted to use the small frame stamp from Purple Onion Designs…  but then it got a bit squidgy….   then I remembered this card that I made and it was easy from then on, although this one is a little brighter.

I’m such a cry baby in Winter, the weather was cold and rainy today and we only reached a top of 20 degrees (68 Fahrenheit), which in the big scheme of things is still actually quite warm…  but I think I’ll put the heater on anyway because now it’s only 14…   all I can say is, thank goodness I don’t live anywhere real cold lol.

~ lostinpaper ~ 20 Comments

Colouring flowers is possibly one of my favourite things to do and who wouldn’t love these funky beauties, I just know that I’ve have to do something retro with the rest of the set in the near future…   it’s just crying for it lol.

Anyway, today I thought I would try using my Dove blender pen with my water based markers (old as the hills and happy to see daylight I assure you) and it was easy, but not…   you’ll see what I mean in the video.
