They are all beautiful, but the holly is my favorite.

[@lostinpaper]

The 'Mondo' series from Ellen Hutson is divine and this Holly is a beautiful stamp!

[@stefperry4142]

The loose watercoloring is really, really pretty, Therese and I was surprised how restamping them at the end brought the design together so well. I love bling, but for the holidays I lean more towards sparkle for mailing purposes. But yours looked fabulous! Thanks for another inspiring video!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Stef! The restamping is key and I often do this for any images that I have coloured, it's amazing what a difference it can make. And YAY for the sparkle, I agree, it fabulous lol!!

[@marthastrayton]

Your voice is so soothing and easy to listen too!

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Martha (hope it doesn't put you to sleep lol.)

[@kimjriley5463]

Love the watercolor cards. Beautiful!.Look like a hot mess when you start but the end result is gorgeous!

[@lostinpaper]

I know right, from where they start to the finished project is so different! I used to 'give up' half way through a watercolor project, but now I know better... sometimes lol. Thanks so much Kim!

[@kathryna5912]

These are wonderful! I especially like the tree card.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Kathryn!

[@jeannebeam3042]

Wonderful watercolor techniques. All of the cards are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Jeanne!

[@sandrashaw8343]

Beautiful cards. I love both bling and sparkle. X

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! Me too Sandra!!

[@kim-mareeforner3382]

Thank you for these great ideas. Must try them out and save for 2023 cards😊

[@lostinpaper]

You never can start too early, I do not like the big rush at the end lol. ps these ideas would also work well for many other 'occasions' cards as well. Thanks for your lovely visit here today Kim-Maree!

[@caseywalters6581]

Really beautiful cards. Maybe not as easy for me, but I will certainly give them a try.

[@lostinpaper]

I hope you do try these ideas, they are such fun!

[@wendyharbarger1445]

Love these ideas, especially the different shaped ones. Thanks for sharing.

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Wendy! 😊

[@athomeink4189]

These are soooo gorgeous! I love the restamping after you watercolor!

[@lostinpaper]

It can make such a difference, I agree!

[@lynnemorton6055]

Hi Therese, absolutely beautiful.. each card different and so perfect. What is not to love. Brilliant tutorial. Thank you so much. Luv from the UK x

[@lostinpaper]

So happy you like these!

[@fionabush4196]

Bling and sparkle for sure 😊great cards again!

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Fiona! I agree, it's difficult to make the choice between bling and sparkle... so, we shouldn't have to lol.😊

[@TheAjjupiter]

Love these, Therese. I love big gift tags too.

[@lostinpaper]

I like big tags and I cannot lie lol. Thanks so much Cynthia!

[@suelanham5125]

Love, love your cards and tags. You really make me want to try these techniques, but first, guess I must buy some paints! Your style is beautiful!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you Sue! If you have dye inks you can use those instead. Just smoosh them onto a plate add a little bit of water and you can paint with them like watercolours (Distress inks are the best for this, but I have also used Altenew, Catherine Pooler, any really). But, you will need some watercolour paper and a brush. Hope you have fun.

[@kimberlybears7695]

Love all all of these cards Therese! Have a great day! :)

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Kimberly!

[@icardeveryone01]

I might just have to get the paints out, Therese! WOW these are beautiful! x

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Michele, hope you have fun x

[@cheri6905]

These are so beautiful! I love them as cards, or tags...... I like distinctive & colorful, but these with their softer look are just gorgeous!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Cheri, it's nice to steer away from the brights for just a minute lol!

[@TheLpage]

Watercolor is my fave. Cards are perfect.

[@lostinpaper]

@@TheLpage Yay! Thank you Laurie!

[@amyswares]

Great ideas! Love the washy watercolor

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Amy! 😊

[@MrsCraftyCritta]

Another great video. I loved the watercolour backgrounds.

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Michelle! They were so easy to do, wouldn't it be fun to create a stack of different colours and make a 'gift set'!

[@annesturgeon5399]

I love my bling... these watercolor cards and tags are so pretty. I don't do much watercoloring, but you may have inspired me to give this technique a try. Merry Christmas 🌲

[@lostinpaper]

Ooh, I do hope you try it Anne, it's easy and fun and can be used with such a variety of stamps! Merry Christmas my friend x

[@theresehudran7635]

Merry Christmas and thank you for the yummy cards and tags.

[@elizabethrussell9831]

Fabulous video, cards and tips, I’m starting to get into water colouring and found it a bit daunting. ..I love all your tips which are so doable and I’ll look forward to incorporating them int next years cards I make for Dubbo nursing homes....Many thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Elizabeth! I agree, initially I found watercolouring daunting, but then realized it's art and card making, it doesn't have to be perfect or difficult, we really are just doing it for fun after all. And of course you are amazing, because you are also creating for others, who I know will really appreciate it!

[@barcelonachair6487]

Gorgeous!

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you Kristina! 😊

[@wendy8184]

Fabulous ❤

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you Wendy x

[@kathygroff4526]

All are lovely……I’m a natural greens and berries person for Christmas and all the wreaths and seasonal florals really are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing, and a very Merry Christmas to you, Therese! 💌

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Kathy, so glad you liked them!

[@InkWellideas]

Love your multiple series, so inspiring and encouraging to those of us who take blocks of time, and MUST tidy our spaces between sessions. I've re-watched back to 2015 this season, would recommend to anyone

[@lostinpaper]

You know you are my fave!! Thank you so much!

[@K.Taylor56]

These are all so lovely and the basic ideas can be used for endless types of cards!!

[@lostinpaper]

Yes, I agree Kim, they could be easily changed out for cards for any occasions!

[@BarbGhig]

Gorgeous Christmas cards, Therese! You ALWAYS inspire me...Thank you! I'll be taking out my watercolors today :)

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! I hope you have fun my friend x

[@HeidiLilley]

I really want to be able to do perfect watercolor but I don't want to take the time to really learn how. This looks amazing and it looks like a great way to get a watercolor without the fussing. I love the look of all of these.

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Heidi, these techniques really are very easy and fun to do!😀

[@christineh1988]

I love your same but different videos. I think even I could manage one or two of these techniques and I am a bit scared of watercolouring! 😄 Your cards are gorgeous, thanks Therese and Happy Christmas 🎅🤶🎄🎄(from Kiama!😉😆)

[@lostinpaper]

Oh yes, Kiama, is that anywhere near Harvey? Maybe there is someone there who is called Harvey lol.Merry Christmas to you too my friend x

[@christineh1988]

@@lostinpaper Kiama is a coastal town south of Wollongong/Shellharbour.

[@lostinpaper]

@@christineh1988 and it's a place I would love to visit and maybe we could check in for a cuppa? Wouldn't that be fab! Hugs x

[@fionawalker8184]

I've only just found you and love your work, thank you for sharing. Are you a fellow Aussie? I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@lostinpaper]

Hi Fiona, a BIG Welcome to you!! Yes, I'm a fellow Aussie who lives in Northern NSW... not sure if you live nearby but we occasionally have a get together... well, pre-pandemic we did so maybe it may be able to happen again this year!

[@ScrappyMim]

beautiful! Thanks for the tips. I'm a sparkle girl myself since most of my cards are for charity they have to be flat.

[@lostinpaper]

You Sparkle Lynn! How wonderful that gift your cards to charity!!

[@trishneil8715]

Wow I love the watercolor cards. Did I see you stamp on the plastic first then transfer to the card? What is that gadget called...the hard plastic large square ?

[@lostinpaper]

I think it's linked in the products below, but it was probably the Taylored Expressions Misti Alignment tool. But you can certainly use any piece of packaging or plastic (acetate) you have on hand. Simply lay it over the top of the image you are stamping on to. And line up your sentiment / image as usual, then stamp it down on the acetate first to see if the position is correct / sentiment is straight. It works a treat! Hope this helps, thanks so much for your lovely visit here today Trish!
