Beautiful Cityscape!

I love how different designers can use the same stamp for totally different looks. I had a chance to play with the Cityscape stamp from Lost Coast Designs this week and came up with this:

Another Lost Coaster, Karen McAlpine used this stamp this week too and got a totally different look, you can see her tags here. One stamp, two totally different looks. Some people think that you are limited by a stamp but that is not the case at all. Have a look at this video if you want to see how I made my multi color stamped card:

You can get many looks from one stamp just with the way you ink it up! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!

Happy "Day of the Dead" or "Día de los Muertos"

Hello Lost Coaster's:

Here Bibiana...with a quick post, commemorating today this Mexican holiday: "Día de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead" with these Mexican skull stamps by "Lost Coast Designs".

These stamps are reproductions of the famous drawings done by the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada depicting death and specially having created "la Catrina",

this elegant woman skull which was named later on "Catrina" by Diego Rivera  are the perfect stamps to showcase in  this "Triple Twisted Easel" card.

For complete details on this festivity with plenty of photos of this celebration and a VIDEO on how to make this type of card visit my blog.

Have a happy "Día de los Muertos!"

Stamps used: Day of the dead lefty; day of the dead man and woman

Terrific Tag Techniques!

Hello Friends! Lindsay here again with another technique video, we will be making some wonderful tags using the Chess Pieces stamp set from Lost Coast Designs.

I'll also show you how I made the matching pocket card too. Here is a tip, first I made the envelope and used the leftover paper from my Kreate-a-lope to make the pocket on the card to hold the tag, no waste and it matched perfectly!

Here is the video to show you how it was done, mind you I filmed it late at night so I might not be as perky as usual:)

Pretty easy huh? Don't be afraid to try some of Lost Coast Designs unusual stamps, they can be the most fun, and as the video proves, easiest images to work with! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
