Bluebells and a chance to Save at AnnaBelle Stamps!

~ lostinpaper ~ 11 Comments

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we are featuring Sentimental Bluebells…   my card does not have any bluebells at all, but I have embossed and die cut this fabulous label from the set.  Actually this card looks absolutely nothing like what I set out to make, go figure.

And because it’s our Friday Feature stamp set it’s been reduced by 20% for the next week, yay!

It’s a Cupcake Bouquet for MUSE!

~ lostinpaper ~ 15 Comments

Welcome back!  Today my card expands on the ‘Cupcake Bouquet’ idea so out came the few flower punches that I own (I’ve never been a real punch kinda girl…  but die cuts, well that’s a whole nother story).   It was easy I just picked a paper pad with the colours I wanted and then add some bling, Voila!

I can’t wait to see how this card inspires you!

Hero Arts meets Craft Dash!

~ lostinpaper ~ 9 Comments

Another quick share, I should be sitting here making DT cards but I really wanted to play with Craft Dash #25 so I did (it’s only 10 minutes after all).  I thought it was also the perfect opportunity to combine the Button It Challenge at A Blog Named Hero, where I haven’t had a chance to join in for yonks.  Anyhoo I had the camera out so I decided to film as I went, hope you like it.

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

Spring is in the Air

This month the challenge is  Spring is in the Air  and I just had to play with some fabulous stamps from Hero Arts & Flourishes.

Gotta say that this is not my fave colour combination and when I think about it maybe it’s the fact that my school uniform was dark green and bright yellow and I wore it for way too many years….   I don’t mind how this card turned out but you can’t love everything you make right, I’m thinking maybe in different colours?

Hello Splat Attack… and a chance to SAVE at AnnaBelle Stamps! !

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

Back today with a card for AnnaBelle Stamps where we are playing with one of our new stamp sets Splat Attack and the best part is that you can SAVE 20% on this stunning set!

I decided not to go with the ‘splat’ idea for this card as I thought it would be too obvious, so I just played with some fab coloured inks and made a pattern instead.  Gotta say this card is incredibly different to the original version I had in my mind and it looked at the bin more than once lol, but I think I saved it, you can let me know.

Smile tutorial at Scrapbook Boutique!

This is a card I have made for the Scrapbook Boutique Blog and you can visit here if you’d like to see the tutorial.   I’ve had heaps of fun playing with My Favourite Things Notched Die & Stamp Set!  I figured it had to do more than just make a tag, although it does do a very good job of that too.  I also broke out the Happy Days paper pad again and just adore those wonderful patterns and colours, Echo Park is fast becoming one of my faves!  Anyhow, I have linked everything in the supplies listed below or you could just head on over to the Scrapbook Boutique Shop and have a look for yourself.
