Lavinia Scene Scapes Halloween Card

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog! 

There is nothing better than bringing together the best independent craft supplies to brew up a spooky Halloween Card!  Take a look at how this one came together:

Challenges

This is my card for the following challenges - click on the underlined link to take you to each challenge:

• Creative Fingers - Challenge #332 - Anything Goes

• Tic Tac Toe - TTTC#304 - I chose the RHS of the grid - Orange, Square Card and Stamped Silhouette

I used a Lavinia Scene Scape called Orange Hues so all I needed to do was to stamp the images to create my Halloween scene.  I did trim down the Scene Scape a little so I could add the cardstock borders and have the finished size to be 6 x 6 inches.

All the images were stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  I did use my Stampmaster Stamping Platform for all my stamping so that I could repeat stamp if necessary. 

The tree on the RHS is by Lavinia - Sacred Tree.  The tree on the LHS is by Lavinia - Tree of Faith.  The Bats and the Bird are also by Lavinia.

The spider, web and sentiment are by Hero Arts - Happy Halloween which was released in 2009.

The owl is from a Hero Arts/Scrapbook.com collaboration from 2019.

I used an Anko 0.1 Black Pigment Pen (originally purchased from KMart Australia) to extend the edges of the spider webs to the tree branches and also to draw in the line of web that the spiders are hanging down from.

I dipped a round paintbrush into the Nocturne Ink to paint in the trunks of both trees.

Once I had stamped my scene, I went around the edges with Nocturne Ink using my Ink Blending Tool fitted with a Domed Pad.  I purchased a bunch of these Tools/Domed Pads from Craftonline (Australia) and are by Universal Crafts and they work brilliantly and stand-up to repeated use without falling apart.

I layered the finished panel onto some Orange Glitter Cardstock then Black Glitter Cardstock.  I bought this glitter cardstock in a multi pack of colours last week from Amazon and it is amazing.  There are 40 sheets and 20 colours for around $18 which is very inexpensive.  It doesn't shed and is excellent quality.  Having the sparkly cardstock really added some atmosphere to my card.

Once I had finished my card front, I glued it to a Cream Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

Of course, I needed to add some more sparkle so dotted some glue along the bottom edge using a Uniquely Creative Glue Pen, then sprinkled on some Orange Glitter which is from my stash.  You can see it in this photo:

I added Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Pen to some of the orbs, the spider webs, the owl's eyes and around the edge of the moon - alas, not captured by the camera.

I really, really enjoyed making this card.  There is a certain magic that happens when you sit down with zero rules and pull out various brands of supplies from your stash and just enjoy the process.  Here is the thing about creativity:  it doesn’t come with a non-compete clause.  I’ve learned to curate my craft space based on joy rather than release dates.  Whether a tool or papercraft product is brand new or well & truly retired, if it inspires me to make a card, it belongs on my desk.

While some corners of the crafting world expect you to pledge total allegiance to a single brand - treating other brands like forbidden fruit - the real magic happens when you mix it up.  Limiting your stash to just one company doesn't make you a purist; it just puts your imagination on a leash.

When you break free from the "exclusivity trap," your craft room suddenly feels twice as big.  You aren't crafting to satisfy a corporate checklist or keep up a quota; you’re crafting because you love to create.

The best cardmaking designs don't happen because you followed a corporate script.  They happen when you blend the best tools or products available to you, regardless of who manufactured them or whether they are new or have been in your stash for years.  After all, witchcraft is all about mixing different ingredients into the cauldron to summon your perfect creation - your craft room should be exactly the same.

Finished card size is 6 x 6 inches or 152 x 152mm.

A Season of Heartcrafted Giving Part 1: Christmas Cards for Seniors

 

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the first in a special series of posts sharing a project that has been very close to my heart over the last few months. This spring, I set myself a quiet goal to create a collection of handmade greeting cards for the Homemade Cards for Seniors Card Drive. This project holds a deeply personal meaning for me, as it honours the living memory of my late Mum, who passed away in June last year at age 94, and whose own nursing home was brightened by this exact volunteer organisation. Crafting these has been a beautiful, restorative journey—completed entirely at my own gentle pace, using some of my absolute favourite independent brands of cardmaking supplies. Over the next few weeks, I’m looking forward to sharing these designs with you, beginning today with a few favourite layouts that brought me so much peace and creative joy to assemble.

So far, I have made 40 Christmas Cards and hope to make some more.

The idea behind this volunteer organisation it is that you make cards that will be donated to senior members in our community:  Meals on Wheels programs, retirement villages, nursing homes, aged care facilities, hospitals and government hostels.

They have four themes a year:  Easter, Thinking of You, Birthday and Christmas.

You can make as many cards as you want - even just one is fine.  And there has already been over 150,000 cards donated over the last two years.  Isn't that incredible?!

You can find more information at the Homemade Cards for Seniors Facebook Page HERE.  There is an email address listed there so you can contact them to find out your nearest collection point.

So today I am sharing Part 1 of the cards I have made.

These Shaker Cards came in a kit by Queen & Co. (USA) called Happy Holly Days which I bought many years ago and it is a great kit because it comes with stamps, dies, designer paper, pre-cut foam, pre-cut acetate, glitter cardstock and the shaker elements.  It looks complicated but because it's a kit, the process is so much quicker.  I thought it would be fun for someone to have an interactive card that they can shake.

I did make multiples of each style of shaker and it was really fun.  

I used lots of Retired Designer Papers instead of what was in the kit and opted to use Glitter Paper/Cardstock from my stash so that it matched the papers.  

For these first two cards, the designer papers are by My Mind's Eye - Sugar Plum which was released 2016.  The Green Glitter Paper is by American Crafts.  I used shaker elements from the kit as well as some matching ones from my stash.

Both the sentiments are by Uniquely Creative from one of their cut-a-part sheets and were popped up on scraps of White Cardstock.  I added tiny Red Molossi Rhinestones to the 2nd card.  The cuff on the stocking was first diecut from White Cardstock then a second time from White Felt which I glued together.  This made it easier to glue onto the top of the stocking as I was afraid some glue would ooze onto the acetate if I just glued on the felt.

The cardstock is by Kaisercraft - Rose.

The shiny Red Star on the cuff is a from a roll of star ribbon that I have had for ages which I simply trimmed off and glued on using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

Here is my 3rd card that I made using Kaisercraft Designer Papers called O'Christmas Tree which was released last year:

I thought the papers with the Gingerbread Man were such a perfect match to the main image.  The Dark Green Cardstock and Brown Cardstock is from my stash.

The sentiment is again from Uniquely Creative.

The white icing on the Gingerbread Man was done using dies that came with the Queen & Co. Kit and were glued on using Art Glitter Glue.

And now here is my 4th card:

This card also uses the O'Christmas Tree Designer Papers on the card base - and the papers underneath the tree are by Pebbles - Merry Little Christmas which was released in 2019.  I thought the tree paper was a great match to the main image.  I used some additional Green Shaker Elements from my stash.

The sentiment is from the Queen & Co. Kit and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black Ink then diecut using a Lawn Fawn Everyday Sentiment Banners Die.  Even though I have had this die set for years, it is still readily available.  I added a tiny Red Molossi Rhinestone to each end, then popped the sentiment up on scraps of White Cardstock.

The star on the top of the tree was diecut from Gold Glitter Cardstock.

This card was the first one that I made before I realised how much quicker it would be to just use the Uniquely Creative Christmas Sentiment Sheets instead.  It sure made it faster because I was doing multiples of each assembly-line style.

Cheery Lynn Designs Small Exotic Butterflies Bokeh Hello Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a bright and cheerful card using a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers called Watercolor Bokeh - see HERE for the tutorial.  It was alot of fun and I hope that you will give it a try.  No stamping on my card - it is ink-blending and diecutting.

I used the original Ranger Distress Ink Pads in the colours:  Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet - and pressed them onto my glass mat and sprayed them with water, then dabbed my Ranger Watercolour Cardstock into them.  I did several layers drying between each one with my Heat-gun.

To do the white circles, I diecut a Mylar Stencil Sheet using various sized circles  from my Lifestyle Nesting Circles Dies, then used an Ink Blending Tool to blend Hero Arts White Dye Ink through the circles to make the Bokeh pattern.  

The butterflies were diecut from White Glitter Cardstock using my Big Shot and Cheery Lynn Designs DL112AB Small Exotic Butterflies #1 Dies.  The dies are long-retired.  I used a finger dauber to add colour to the diecut butterflies using the same Distress Ink colours as I used for the background. It is hard to see the sparkle from the photo but it looks so pretty in real life.  I glued down just the centres so I could bend the wings up for some dimension.

The sentiment is by Impression Obsession - DIE174-W - Greeting Set - which I have had for years and is retired - and was diecut from the same White Glitter Cardstock.

I glued the panel to a Kaisercraft White Card Base then glued on matching Sequins from my stash using Art Glitter Glue which dries clear.

I think you could use this card for lots of different occasions.

I gave this card to my beautiful sister-in-law to brighten her day.

Finished size is 4-1/8 x 5-3/4 inches or 105 x 146mm.

Kaisercraft Flower Shoppe Swing (Flip Flop) Card

 

Hi everyone,

This was my Splitcoaststampers Design Team Card for the March Fan Club Challenge of Dancing through Life and one of the suggested tutorials to try was a new-to-me Fun Fold Card called a Swing or Flip-Flop Card.  I followed the tutorial here on Splitcoaststampers.  I surprised myself by cutting and scoring it correctly the very first time as I do struggle a little with anything that isn't your regular score-in-the-middle card.  Beate's instructions were really good and having a video as well really helped.

Now that the challenge was 6+ months ago, I can share my card online.

Here is the card closed up:

Now, when you open it, the image on the other side swings around to the front.  Cool, isn't it?!

Now, when you move the card, the other side swings around.  I kept playing with it because it is so fun 😀

All the designer papers are by Kaisercraft - Flower Shoppe which were released November 2020.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the matching Collectables - Flower Shoppe Sentiment CT989.  I popped the sentiment up on 1mm dimensionals.  The butterfly was fussy-cut using my Uniquely Creative Fussy Cutting Scissors and I glued just the middle section down so I could pop up the wings for dimension.  I added 3 x Kaisercraft SB701 Self-Adhesive Soft Pink  Rhinestones underneath the sentiment but added a dot of Art Glitter Glue underneath so the rhinestones didn't move.  I don't find glue dots stick well enough for me and they slip down over time.

The bicycle is from the matching Collectables CT983 and was glued down using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.  The 'Oh Happy Day' sentiment is from the CT983 Collectables but I trimmed it down a little as it was too big for the space.  I used my Bow Easy to tie a bow with 1/8" wide White Organza Ribbon then glued it to the flower pot using Helmar's Fabric Glue.  I love how it added some softness to the main image panel.  Finishing touches were Uniquely Creative Clear Sparkle Pen to the flowers on the bicycle and the butterfly.

If you look at my 3rd photo, you will see that I glued a small piece of White Cardstock on the RHS of the sentiment panel so I could write a small message to the recipient but this isn't visible from the front when the flap in closed - see photo 1.

Finished size is:  6-3/4" x 5-1/2" or 171mm x 140mm.

Why not have a go at making at making this Swing/Flip-Flop Card yourself?  If I can do it the first time I try it, I am positive that you will too.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Lavinia Zemira Mixed Media Birthday Card

 

Hi blogging friends,

Today I am sharing a Birthday Card that I made for an acquaintance using lots of Lavinia stamps:

Challenges

This is my card for the following challenges - click on the underlined link to take you to the challenge:

• Splitcoaststampers - Free for All Friday F4A866 - Squares. Make a square card or feature a square element

• Creative Artiste Mixed Media - #131 - Anything Mixed Media 

• Creative Crafters - #104 - Anything Goes

I used a Lavinia Scene Scapes called Live the Dream for the background.  I love using Scene Scapes because it makes the whole process a bit quicker.  I did trim it down slightly as it is 6 x 6 inches and I wanted to be able to add some cardstock layers and still have it fit into the envelope that I use for 6 x 6 inch cards.

The main image is called Zemira and was first released in 2019 and is still readily available worlwide including on the Lavinia Stamps website.  That's what I love about Lavinia Stamps - they don't automatically retire their stamps just because they release new ones.  Tracey who designs her stamps frequently uses older stamps in her You-Tube videos - and sometimes a mix of old and new.  

Where is my creative heart at lately?

• Loving what I have:  I don't care if a product is old or retired—if it sparks joy, it's going on my desk.
• Finding inspiration at home:  I get way more excited 'shopping my stash' these days than browsing new catalogues.
• Focusing on the process:  Creativity for me is about the making, not the buying.

Please note, I have no connection to Lavinia Stamps other than just being a very happy long-term customer.

I stamped Zemira and the Fairy Orb that Zemira is holding using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  The trees on the LHS & RHS are called Woodland which are bare trees which I love because you can add the foliage that you want or just leave them bare if you prefer.  I used the Maple Leaf Stamp for the foliage and stamped it using Nocturne Ink + Shady Lane.  Some are first generation and others second generation to add some depth.  I also added some Wild Foliage stamped in Shady Lane Ink.

The garden along the bottom is Slender Mushrooms Mini, Wild Foliage and Lavender.  I stamped the mushrooms with Fallen Leaves Ink.  I know you can't necessarily see them all that well but they are mostly to the left and right of the tree trunks and they are really there to just fill the space.

The Lavender was stamped using Nocturne Ink plus Warm Breeze and Twilight using first and second generation to add depth.  The Wild Foliage was stamped using Shady Lane.

Note that at every step, I heat-set my images because Scene Scapes are coated papers and it takes a while for everything to dry and I was afraid of smearing the ink.

I used my Ink Blending Tool fitted with a Domed Pad to ink around the edges using Warm Breeze then Nocturne.  I tore a sheet of scrap paper so I had an edge to ink blend against to ground Zemira and the Trees using Nocturne Ink.

I put some JoSonja White Acrylic Gouache onto a stamp block and watered it down a little, then picked up the paint using a #000 Round Paintbrush to add some highlights to Zemira's hair as well as on her dress.

I used Titanium White Pan Pastel to add soft highlights to the areas where Zemira is facing the light plus the edges of the tree trunks.

The gold dots on the Fairy Orb and flowing down to the ground were done using a Crayola Signature Gold Pen.

The aqua dots were made using a Artistro Aqua 0.7mm Glitter Marker.

I added some dots of glue using a Uniquely Creative Fine Glue Pen then added Glitzee Aqua Glitter, then added more dots of glue and added Celebrations Australia Gold Glitter.  It's a shame you can't see the sparkliness of the card from the photo - but it really brings some magic to the scene.

Once I had finished my scene, I layered it onto Gold Metallic Paper which I originally bought from KMart (Australia) but is no longer available.  I then layered this onto Colormates Deep Terrific Teal Cardstock, then Portacraft Black Cardstock - all with a 1/16" border which was done using my We R Memory Keepers Perfect Layers Guides.  Now that I had finished my card front, I glued it to a White Cardstock Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

I really enjoyed making this card.  It was just lovely to be in my happy place looking outside at the pouring rain through my craft room window and lose all track of time as I created the scene.   It hasn't rained all day for some time and September's rainfall was way below average.  We ended up with 67mm of rain which is a bit over 2-1/2 inches - so it was very welcome and the garden is happy again 😊 

Of course, the great thing about the card is that is flat so can go through the mail without extra postage.

Finished size is 6 x 6 inches.

Lavinia Dancing till Dawn Woodland Walk SceneScapes Card

 

Hi everyone,

This was my Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Design Team Card for the March Challenge of Dancing, and one of the ideas for interpretation was Images of Dancers which is why I chose my dancing fairies.  

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share my card online.

The background image is a Lavinia Scene Scape called Woodland Walk.  I stamped the Dancing till Dawn Fairies using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  I stamped the foliage - Forest Mushroom Mini + Leaf Creeper + Maple Leaf + Thimbleweed using various inks:  Versafine Clair Shady Lane + Versamagic Hint of Pesto + Kaisercraft Splice.  Some are 1st generation and others 2nd generation to try and add depth to the scene.

The sentiment is also by Lavinia - See a Fairy, Make a Wish - but I masked off most of it off using a Post-It Note so I could just have those two lines.  I stamped it using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and used a Stamp Positioner so I could get perfect placement.

I went around the edges of the card using Shady Lane Ink and my Ink Blending Tool fitted with a Domed Pad.  I added dots using various brands of Paint Pens.  I added dots of glue around my card + on the fairy wings + along the ground using my Quickie Glue Pen then sprinkled on Bellbird Diamond Glitter.

The main image panel was layered onto Pale Yellow-Green Cardstock with a 1/16" border, then Green Cardstock with a 1/16" border and Black Cardstock with a 1/8" border.  

Finally, I glued my front panel to an American Crafts White Card Base using Tombow Mono Multi Glue.

Finished size is 6-3/8" x 4-3/4" or 161mm x 121mm.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lavinia Dancing Till Dawn - Twilight Scene Scape Birthday Card

 

Hi everyone,

This was my Splitcoaststampers Design Team Fan Club Card for the March theme of Dancing through Life.  One of the suggestions was to make a card with dancers.  What is more magical than fairies dancing in the forest beneath the moonlight?

Now that it is 6+ months since the challenge went live, I can share it online.

My background is a Lavinia Scene Scape called Twilight which has the moon and the black along the bottom plus the grass - and I added lots of stamped images to complete my scene.  Note that I trimmed the Scene Scape down from it's original size of 6" x 6" - 15cm x 15cm.   The fairies are called Dancing till Dawn and were stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  The tree on the LHS is called Tree of Courage and the tree on the RHS is called Tree of Hope.  The hanging tendrils from the trees are from the Tree of Courage Set and were stamped using Versafine Clair Twilight Ink.  The foliage along the bottom are Leaf Creeper and Lavender.  Some were stamped in Nocturne Ink - others with Twilight - and some are 2nd generation so it added a bit of depth to the scene.

I originally had a sentiment above the moon and had it perfectly placed using my Stamp Positioner Tool - then dropped the ink pad on my card!  Oh no!  I thought it was ruined - until my daughter suggested I trim it down - and you know what?  I like it better now!  

I used a Round Paintbrush to dip into the Nocturne Ink and painted in the tree trunks and branches, then went around the edge of the card using an Ink Blending Tool fitted with a Domed Pad.  I did heat-set the panel as I was afraid of smearing the ink.  I used various brands/colours of Paint Pens to add dots to make the scene more magical.  I glued the image panel onto Kaisercraft Sage Cardstock with a 1/16" border, then some Teal Cardstock from my stash - again with a 1/16" border, then finally Kaisercraft Coal Cardstock with an 1/8" border, then onto an American Crafts White Card Base.

I added dots of glue using my Quickie Glue Pen then sprinkled on Bellbird Diamond Glitter.  Final touches were Anko Glitter Markers to the fairies wings.

Finished size is 6-1/8" x 4-1/2" or 155mm x 114mm.
