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.

The best thing about creating a One Layer Card (other than the challenge of creating exactly what you want in only one layer) is that it is easy to post and with crossed fingers it will arrive at it’s final destination in one piece and without any extra postage cost.

I’ll be back next week with the final in this series!

Love on Valentines Day!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

I don’t know what I was thinking, I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue roses before but I thought they would look pretty and so not the usual ‘red and pink’ regular Valentine’s theme.  I was lucky to have this card published with the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and thought I would share it today…    so, Happy Valentines Day to you ALL!

Sadly this is my last post as part of The Alley Way Stamps Youtube Specialist team, and I gotta say that it really has been a blast.  This has been truly one of the most social, fun and organized teams, and I know that I will miss them all.  So today I  thought I would share a card to send my love to the team (especially to Ali and Chrissie) and beware, I will totally be blog stalking.

Video : Keeping it warm this Christmas!

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

Snow is not something we have here in Australia at Christmas, so all those beautiful scenes / snowflakes / Wintery wishes, they are a little bit hard to sell when it’s a day at the beach with seafood and a  BBQ for us.  So when I saw this little fella I thought the ‘warm wishes’ he was perfect lol.

Oh my, I couldn’t believe that my stash of masculine cards is pretty much gone, I think there has been way too much Christmas card making going on round here, so I had to fix it and real quick as I have a few December birthdays to sort.  So I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process and learn some ‘boy’ design card tips lol.

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!

Today at TAWS I felt like making a rainbow…  so I did!  I decided to use my pencils to add details to my card and who doesn’t love a bright and multicoloured lollipop, this one is so cute (it would even look great in some Christmas colours).
