Mayra’s Charming Library Scene


Save the date for Create with Us: Cheesy Christmas! Please join us November 8th, 2024, at 4:00PM PT / 7:00PM ET on YouTube Live!

Today Mayra shares a card design that will absolutely delight everyone! She created a library scene featuring Little Woodland Library that looks like a decorator’s dream! Read on to find out how she accessorized this charming scene.


Starting from the background, Mayra created a shiplap look with Simple Stripes Backdrop: Landscape. Then she made “bookshelves” using Stitched Rectangle Frames and filled them with books from Purrfectly Wicked, pumpkins from Happy Harvest and lanterns from Oh Gnome.

Next, she added Wonderful Window with a blustery Fall scene outside with You Autumn Know leaves and a streetlight from Here We Go A-Waddling. She used Distress Ink in Prize Ribbon and Blueprint Sketch to ink blend the sky.


And then Mayra assembled a lovely vignette with the Little Woodland Library rabbits sitting on a comfy sofa from Window Scene: Winter. She also added a rug from Christmas Dreams and a cute mushroom. Finally, she white embossed the sentiment on vellum.

I love your cozy scene, Mayra, thank you so much for inspiring us today!

Fun Fall Inspiration with the East Coast Fawnies & a Video


September Inspiration Week is coming soon! Be sure to join us for another Big Giveaway on Wednesday, September 18 as we continue to shine the spotlight on our Fall & Winter 2024 Release! All the design team inspiration, intro videos and daily giveaways start on Thursday, September 19th! See you then!


First up we have a recap of the recent Adventures in Cardmaking Live with Jenn and Chari! As a result of the polling on Instagram, this time the theme was Fall/Autumn, focus on stamped images and use of twine. We love that so many of you joined the fun live and lots of you have also caught the replay too. If you haven’t watched this fun crafty cardmaking session yet, click HERE! Or go to the Adventures in Cardmaking Live playlist to catch up on all the crafty fun!


Chari’s Autumn themed card featured stamped images from You Crow Girl and Happy Harvest. She did some fun background stamping in Apricot ink to create a subtle tone on tone to match the kraft card base. I love that she built the little scene on a Falling Leaves stitched heart framed with a Lacy Heart!


Chari tucked her Scripty Autumn Sentiments greeting in a pretty border of sunflowers. Then she used the Turquoise Hemp Twine in a clever way, adding a bow to the “crow girl’s” dress.


Jenn also used background stamping to enhance the Autumn theme! She used Distress Watercolor Pencils to color the You Autumn Know and Scripty Autumn Sentiments leaves stamped with Crunchy Leaf ink. There are splatters to create texture and a watercolor “ground” as well.


Jenn colored images from Big Acorn, Happy Harvest (wagon) and the cute mice from You Autumn Know. I love how she used Orange Hemp Twine to “tie down” the acorns in the wagon, so clever! Then to finish her card she added a greeting from Celebration Scripty Sentiments.


Here’s Jenn handy Copic coloring chart for the acorns, mice and wagon!

Be sure to check out the latest Adventures in Cardmaking Live replay HERE, to watch Chari and Jenn create these amazing cards!

And now Chari and Jenn share some perfect for Halloween Sweet Spiders cards! Chari made her card interactive with Swivel Surprise and another clever element on the inside! You can watch as she creates her card below or click HERE to watch the video tutorial at our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching!


This background is so cool! Chari stenciled with the Spiderweb Background Stencils using Lawn Fawn inks in Apricot, Peachy Keen and Guava. Then she stamped the Sweet Spiders images in River Rock ink to color in a soft pastel color palette.


Chari used Embroidery Hoop Snowflake Add-On to create a stitched spiderweb for the cute spider and candy! She added the scalloped frame from Embroidery Hoop Window and Frame Add-On and then included it in the Swivel Surprise. It’s a perfect fit!


Jenn also did some inking and stenciling for her sweet Halloween card using Nighttime Sky Stencil. Then she combined Sweet Spiders with Fangtastic Friends to complete this totally adorable design!
