About Me

Hi, my name's Shanika! I'm 26, from Melbourne, Australia and papercrafting is my hobby! Well, according to my friends calling it a 'hobby' is an understatement... but when there are so many gorgeous papers in the world, who can resist creating!

I have been papercrafting for several years now, and a few years ago (in 2017) I decided to start a blog, so here I am! What I love making the most are cards and explosion boxes. I love being able to make cards to give to people, I think handmade cards are always the best! I also dabble in other crafts from time to time.

My interest in crafts comes as a surprise some to people since I also have an interest in science and am currently pursuing a PhD in astrophysics. Some people seem to think that science and crafts don't really go together... well I disagree. Creativity and passion are a big part of both areas.


You can be a science-y person AND a creative person. 
These are not mutually exclusive!

There are two reasons why I called this blog 'scrapwithstardust'... the first is to merge my two passions in life, craft and astrophysics. Although I am yet to find a good balance between the two! And the second is that fact that pretty much everything around us, including ourselves, is made of stardust, so when you create, you actually scrap with stardust!

I also love singing, playing chess and making desserts.
Hope you enjoy my papercrafting journey!

Shanika :)
