Snippets Blogoversary

Hi everyone, this fortnight the Snippets Playground is celebrating a special Blogoversary - 13 years since Miss Di took over the reins and the thankless task of keeping us all on the straight and narrow … aided latterly by her partner in crime craft Sarn, whose legendary Treehouse parties will still be talked about by future generations! So in honour of this auspicious occasion I decided to make a card entirely inspired by the need to use up snippets! 

Before Christmas I purchased a popular new AALL & Create die set as part of some challenge winnings over at Simon says Stamp - but hadn’t used it until now as I wasn’t sure what to do with it. However it was clear that it was perfect for using up some of my mountain of white card snippets - I even took a picture for once!

Here’s the resulting card - I decided to make my first Christmas card of 2025 using a variety of Lavinia stamps. 

I die cut all the pieces from the die set, and edged all the inner pieces with blended Distress Oxide ink in Mowed Lawn. I stamped tree branch  onto the largest rectangle using Pinecone VFC then perched Bobby on top with Sand Dune VFC and Mini Mistletoe using  a mixture of Avocado and Shady Lane. I stamped Holly and Mini Holly onto the 2 smaller rectangles using Rainforest VFC, and the word “Joy” from Seasonal Words onto the small square surrounded by mini stars stamped with Brilliance ink.

 I coloured Bobby with Zig pens and Signo white pen, the holly berries with red Signo pen topped with Sakura Stardust pen, and the mistletoe berries with white Signo pen topped with clear Sakura Stardust pen. I added highlights to Bobby, the holly and mistletoe with white Signo pen, and outlined the greeting with clear Stardust pen to add sparkle. I added white Posca snowflakes and snowfall on the branch of the largest panel, then attached all the pieces to the outer frame and matted onto a piece cut from a large snippet of dark green linen card stock which I had distressed with my distressing tool. 

Stamps: Lavinia Bobby, Holly, Mini Holly, Mini Mistletoe, Seasonal Words, Mini Stars 1;

Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink (Mowed Lawn); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Sand Dune, Pinecone, Rainforest, Shady Lane, Avocado); Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; Signo pens (red, white); Sakura Stardust pens (red, clear); Posca pen (white);

Tools: AALL & Create #57 Parallel Rectangles dies.

I’m just about sick and tired now of staying indoors due to the snow and ice - it has lain in our side road all week now, making going out completely treacherous either on foot or in the car.  It’s supposed to be starting to thaw today … fingers crossed, so long as it doesn’t cause more flooding! Hope everyone is staying safe. Take care, and thanks for visiting.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Hi everyone, Christmas Day is here at last, so I’m following one of my annual traditions of scheduling a post for the card I made for my husband, as I never publish it before I’ve handed it over to him on Christmas morning 😀🎄

This year I was inspired by Lavinia’s  latest Christmas robins Bobby and Jemima. I think I’ve mentioned previously that I didn’t think I liked them when they were first released, but as I have seen more and more beautiful makes with them and various colouring options they have really grown on me. I’ve only used them a couple of times before, so I’m still very much at the experimental stage with colouring them but I thought I’d give it a go! 

Originally I was hoping to produce a card using the beautiful techniques from a tutorial by Lisa Taggart, but I couldn’t get the watercolour background to work for me no matter how hard I tried, so I decided to go in a different direction and make a mistletoe wreath (what else for a romantic card?) to host the robins. 

I cut a 6” square of white stamping card (it was meant to be slightly bigger but after a couple of failed attempts I measured it wrongly and didn’t realise until later!) and created a circle using a mask and blended Elements inks. I stamped the branch (with leaves wiped clean of ink) and robins using Pinecone VFC, then added Mini Holly leaves in 1st/2nd generation using Rain Forest VFC. I stamped a wreath of Christmas Mistletoe around the circle using Grass Green VFC and I filled the gaps with 2nd generation Mini Mistletoe, then added a further piece of Mini Mistletoe in Bobby’s beak and some little hearts ❤️.

 I coloured the robins and branch using a mixture of Zig pens and white Signo pen, the holly berries with red Signo pen topped with Sakura Stardust pen, the mistletoe berries with white Posca pen topped with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, and the mini mistletoe with clear Sakura Stardust pen. I added white Posca snow on the branch topped with Stickles, and Posca falling snowflakes. I matted the panel onto a green frame and 8” square card blank, and finished by stamping, cutting out and attaching the sentiments. Unfortunately I was rather rushing by the end so have suffered bleed through of colour on the snow on the branch and a couple of the snowflakes, which no amount of touching up has covered! Luckily my husband just loves the fact that I make him a card, and knows that I did my best! 🥰

Stamps: Lavinia Bobby, Jemima, Vine Branch, Christmas Mistletoe, Mini Mistletoe, Mini Holly, Group of Hearts Mini; Uniko Christmas Wishes, Fizzy Moon For Him;

Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Della Blue, Dark Denim); Versafine Clair (Pinecone, Rain Forest,  Grass Green, Strawberry, Nocturne); Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; Signo pens (white, red); Sakura Stardust pens (clear, red); Posca pen (white); Spectrum Noir sparkle pens (clear): Stickles glitter glue.

Hi everyone, today I’d like to share a card I made using one of the new release robins by Lavinia. When they came out I didn’t order them as I didn’t actually like them, but since then I’ve seen so many lovely makes with them that I have changed my mind! This card is also the first wreath card I have made using my recently acquired holly stamp, which is proving so useful I’m at a loss as to why I never purchased it until now!

I die cut a stitched square of stamping card, and created a background circle by blending Elements ink through a circle mask. I then placed a home made circle mask and stamped the background text using Sand Dune VFC. I stamped a wreath of holly then added some second generation mini holly, and stamped Bobby using Pinecone VFC. I highlighted the holly leaves with white Signo pen and coloured the berries with red Signo pen and Sakura Stardust pen, then highlighted Bobby and coloured his red breast with Zig pens and his tummy with white Stabilo pencil. I stamped the sentiment in Nocturne and a couple of pinecones in the corner which I also accented with my white pen, then matted the finished piece onto a 6” card blank. I finished off with a little festive gingham bow … it’s not currently stuck down as I seem to have lost my glue dots, so I guess I’ll have to get some when I’m next passing Hobbycraft!

Stamps: Lavinia Bobby, Holly, Mini Holly, Mini Pine Cone, Spirit of Christmas, Christmas Greetings;

Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Pine); Versafine Clair (Nocturne, Shady Lane, Pinecone, Sand Dune); Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; Signo pens (Red, white); Sakura Stardust pen (Red); Stabilo pencil (white);

Tools: Hunkydory Moonstone Duo-Stitched Squares die; Lavinia circle mask.

This card was pretty straightforward to make so while I was at the craft table I made 2 more, just substituting the background colours and/or sentiment. I’m still in experimental mode when it comes to colouring the new robins, so it may be that a few more will appear coloured using different media!

That’s all from me for today. Take care, and thanks for visiting.

Hugs,

Robin and Holly

Hi everyone, today I would like to share a card I made with my favourite AALL & Create robin by Tracy Evans - I really love this image. I have made a few cards previously encircling him within a festive wreath, but I always used Lavinia foliage stamps for that. This time I decided to try creating a wreath using Tracy’s festive foliage stamps - it was a bit challenging as the main holly branch stamp is quite long and does not bend around a circle, so I just inked up part of it. Here’s the result.

I cut a square of white stamping card and created a central circle by blending Olive Elements ink around a circle mask. I then created the circular wreath by stamping a variety of 1st and 2nd generation holly, berries and foliage in various shades of green and red Versafine Clair. I stamped the robin in the middle and coloured him with Zig pens and white Signo pen on his tummy. I added white Signo highlights to the holly leaves and berries, then stamped the Robin wording and sentiment onto black card and heat embossed white before cutting out and attaching. I added some white Posca snow to the branch and topped it with sparkle pen to add some glimmer. I edged the finished piece with black marker pen (diagonal corners cut to disguise a slight slip of the pen!) then matted onto green card stock.

Stamps: AALL & Create #690 Robin and Nuthatch, #806 Fallen Leaves; Tracy Evans Boutique Designs TE21 Holly and Berries, TE18 Decorations;

Media: Lavinia Elements ink (Olive); Versafine Clair (Pinecone, Shady Lane, Avocado, Strawberry); Versamark; WOW Opaque white ultra fine embossing powder; Signo pen (white); Posca pen (white); Spectrum Noir sparkle pen (clear).

Rudolph Days - July Guest Designer

Hi everyone, I was absolutely delighted when Helen asked me to be Guest Designer for this month’s Rudolph Days challenge - our monthly opportunity to get ahead with making our Christmas cards.  

Like so many crafters I always promise myself in January that I will make Christmas cards throughout the year, but somehow come October I find I’ve only made a handful so a last minute panic ensues! Today’s make is another one to add to the (still small but growing) pile.

I love kraft, white and a touch of red for Christmas crafting so decided to use them with the adorable AALL & Create robin for this card. I die cut a circle from kraft card then stamped the robin and coloured him with Zig watercolour pens and white Posca pen, and also added some white Posca spatters. I cut a stitched circle frame from white pearlescent card, then set aside as I covered a kraft card blank with kraft snowflake papers and white pearlescent card matting, then I attached the image and frame in the centre. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto dark brown cardstock and attached, then die cut a poinsettia from red glitter card and attached with a light brown gem in the centre. I finished off with a touch of Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents on the image, and three sparkly snowball gems.

Stamps: AALL & Create #690 Robin and Nuthatch; Visible Image Grunge Poinsettia (sentiment);

Media: Versafine Clair (Pinecone); Versamark; Kuretake Zig Clean Color watercolour pens; WOW superfine embossing powder (Opaque White); Posca pen (white); Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents;

Papers: LotV Krafty Christmas;

Tools: Hunkydory Moonstone Duo Stitched circle and square dies; Marianne Designs Poinsettia die.

Celebrating with Snippets!

Hi everyone, this fortnight over at the Snippets Playground they are celebrating, as it is the 12th anniversary of Miss Di holding the keys to the playground and taking on the thankless task of keeping us all in order whilst prodding us to submit our homework rather than playing endlessly on the swings!! Of course her headmistress-ship is undermined  massively by her partner in crime craft Sarn who seems intent on encouraging the playmates to be as naughty as possible including dangerous playground games and out-of-hours consumption of illicit alcohol - what a minx! But I digress ... 

I was inspired by Sarn's fab projects to try some paper tearing and I knew straight away I had to turn to some old kraft Christmas papers, and as luck would have it I found a few snippets!  

I also love Christmas so thought I would start this year's celebrations early, especially as we have woken up to a covering of snow this morning... perhaps Sarn will find some eggnog left over from the treehouse Christmas party (who am I kidding?? I saw the state of  everyone staggering into the dawn light after that knees up!!)

Here's the result - my first Christmas card for 2024 (that's something to celebrate in itself!!).

I took a kraft card blank and tore a couple of strips of paper from my snippets, ensuring the edges were white. I stamped the adorable robin and coloured him with Zig watercolour pens (this is my first experiment using them on kraft card and I am delighted with the depth of colour I achieved). I stamped the robin banner onto a separate snippet of white card, then stamped the sentiment and added some white Posca snow. I added some Posca pen snow spatter and when dry attached the torn paper strips and robin banner directly to the card blank.

Stamps: AALL & Create #690 Robin and Nuthatch; Visible Image Grunge Poinsettia (sentiment);

Media: Kuretake Zig watercolour brush pens; Versafine Clair (Pinecone); Posca pen (white); Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen (clear);

Red Robins Everywhere!

Hi everyone, Christmas is almost here, last posting dates for our festive makes have been and gone, and as crafters we are either completely organised with everything done and dusted, or we are still dashing off last minute cards for hand delivery! I tend to fall into the latter category … every year I say I will make Christmas cards throughout the year and I never do .. this year I had only made 2 or 3 before October!! However I have been doggedly making cards during the last quarter, so I was able to complete my posting on 11 December.  I was still a bit short for hand delivery, so a week ago I had a full on day at it and managed to make 2 batches, totalling 9 cards .. given how slow I am as a crafter I think that’s a record! 

I published the first batch of cards in an earlier post here, and today’s post is to share the second (and hopefully final) batch of 5, featuring the adorable AALL & Create robin.

All of these cards revolved around blending a circle of Distress Oxide ink, stamping the robin in the middle and then surrounding him with foliage. On 4 of the cards I used Lavinia Fir Cone Branch in various combinations, infilled with Mini Holly stamped in 1st/2nd generation. For the 5th card (which had a brighter green inky circle than the rest) I just stamped the Mini Holly around the circle. On all the cards I coloured the robin with Distress watercolor pencils with a hint of sparkle on his white tummy from my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, I coloured the holly berries using a red Signo pen and Sakura Stardust pen, and highlighted the pine cones with a clear Sakura Stardust pen. I stamped my sentiments, edged each piece with gold Posca pen and matted straight onto my card blank. 

Stamps: AALL & Create Nuthatch & Robin; Lavinia Fir Cone Branch, Mini Holly, Mini Pinecone, Christmas Greetings; Uniko Christmas Wishes;

Media: Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks (Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn); Distress watercolor pencils (Barn Door, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo); Versafine Clair (Pinecone, Shady Lane, Nocturne); Signo Pen (red); Sakura Stardust pens (red, clear); Posca pen (gold).

I coloured the robin and berries with Distress Watercolor pencils, then stamped, coloured, fussy cut and attached the R for Robin circle and "Noel" sentiment. I added some white gel pen highlights and Posca pen snow spatters, and matted the finished panel onto a red border and my card blank.
