Video : Keeping it in the Pink & Gold at TAWS!

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

Back with a very CAS card for TAWS.  I’ve had (been hoarding) this pink design paper forever…  seriously forever and today I challenged myself to use it and the only think I could think to add was gold, so I did.  then came the dilemma how to add the sentiment….

Video : Playing with my Gansai Tambi Watercolours!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

So happy to be playing with my new Kuretake Gansai Tambi and I think it’s time for a watercolour class (or two).   I was in two minds whether to share this, as it’s not my fave card but literally it’s the first time I’ve added water to paints so thought I would share it anyway.

This card was inspired by this awesome card from Larissa Heskett Designs, I adore the shaker bag, it’s genius!  And a big thanks to everyone with their wonderful ideas about which watercolours to buy, the advice was greatly appreciated.

Video : Stamping a Sentiment Background!

As soon as I saw this set at TAWS I knew just what I wanted to do, create my own word background, although there was a little moment of debate where I did consider using a colour instead of the black…  but in my mind’s eye it was black, so it stayed that!

Video : A Fishy Wedding?

This video is for The Alley Way Stamps and I gotta say this fish really makes me smile and well, what more can I say…  love a him/her version!  I was also thinking about it after, that a little tulle in her ‘hair’ would’ve been cute…

So I wanted the ‘pencily’ look and now I’m not so sure…  what do you think,maybe my usual bold and bright might have been better?  I had fun though and it doesn’t hurt to stretch those creative urges, I have enough stuff here to stretch them for years…  but apparently I still ‘need’ more, just ask my friend Paypal, good bloke that one, I don’t even have to leave my seat (go figure).  Now to business….

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.

A Happy Day Publication!

~ lostinpaper ~ 17 Comments

Today I’m sharing a card that was published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where the call was to mask a space for sentiments.  A little different to my usual style, but I really did have fun creating the sentiment panel and the matching embossed border.
