This week is MASSIVE, it’s Altenew’s 3rd Anniversary and you already know that they know how to celebrate in style as well as give you the opportunity to WIN too, but more about that later.

Today it’s time for the Card Design Team to hop and we are so lucky to be joined by some incredibly talented papercrafters, you should have arrived here from Jennifer McGuires blog, and she never fails to inspire! (scroll down for the full hop list)

Here are some of my Altenew faves….

So…  In keeping with the party atmosphere I thought it would be fun to create a fun set of cards using some of the mini stamp sets from Altenew, and these Fair themed images seemed perfect!

I used the Splash of Color set to create a bright background for the Carousel and Ferris Wheel images.

The background here was ink blended through the Halftone Stencil and the sentiment was die cut with the Inline Alpha die set.

Here I stamped a Carousel background and heat embossed the sentiment from the Celebrate Stamp Set.

and finally a more graphic style design using some cardstock from the New Day Card Kit with the Carousel and Ferris Wheel images.  Scroll down for the video link.

Video : It’s time for ‘Action’…. Wobbles!

~ lostinpaper ~ 33 Comments

When I saw the smaller sized Action Wobbles I just knew I ‘had to have‘ them, and now my world is complete lol.  They are seriously the perfect size…  and for a person who makes very few ‘interactive’ cards, I’m hooked!  I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process.

Video : Colour with ‘U’ – Reverse Confetti Unicorn Wishes!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

I just had to have a Unicorn stamp and there are actually a few on my ‘wish’ list, but this one made it into my hot little hands first and for some reason it had to be a shaker and have sparkle!

In my video today I share just how easy it can be to blend Copic colours that are from different colour families.

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.

Video : Golden Poinsettia – Penny Black

~ lostinpaper ~ 38 Comments

One of the most beautiful ‘flowers’ ever and so perfect on a Christmas card, especially in ‘gold’.  Our Poinsettias have just finished flowering as we are now heading into Spring / Summer here, but they do add such a brightness to the garden, actually I have a memory that they are not flowers but that they are coloured leaves?  Do you know, or did I dream that?  Oh, and I also decided to film as I coloured.

This time the call was for Diamonds / Jewels for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and I realised that I had not one….. sadly.  But I got creative and this is what I came up with, it’s hard to see in this below average photo but each section of the diamond is a shaker…   so cool!

Happy Birthday to my sister and Happy New Year to you all!

My sister has an owl fixation and this year for her birthday her card had to include an owl, of course.  So out came this little cutie from Mama Elephant and I just love how he stamped out in orange.  I filmed as I created so you can watch the process.

Musing!

~ lostinpaper ~ 17 Comments

Thought I would sneak in some challenge inspiration and as usual Michele never fails to deliver at this week’s MUSE and here it is in all it’s fabulousness!

Michele’s Card

I kept the basic sketch very similar although changed the orientation of the card and was wondering if would you could call a pig cute?  Well I think that this one is!  I also added a ‘slightly’ bold sentiment….

This card also fits the bill over at Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge for Diecember, where it’s time to go ‘Die Crazy’, and as you know I loves my dies!  A word of warning though, I’m back tonight with a video for Altenew so I’ll see you again real soon!

Video : Storybook Duck!

~ lostinpaper ~ 12 Comments

I know it’s meant to be a goose, but I wanted a duck and cause it’s yellow it’s a duck…   now.  I had so much fun creating my little ‘old school’ storybook scene and when you want a little simple shading then Prisma’s are my go to choice.  You can find this card over at The Alley Way Stamps Blog.  And while I’m here you may have already heard that TAWS is sadly closing it’s doors, but that means that you can buy their fun stamps at an incredible 40% discount, so head on over!

These first two cards were a stamper’s challenge using a sweet set from Clearly Besotted called ‘Set the Scene’.
