Catherine Pooler: Bold Bits And Patterns Stamp Set!

Hello my crafty friends!

Something a little different from me today using Catherine Pooler stamps. I'm not much of a clean and simple girl as I love colouring too much for occasionally I like to create some simple cards especially for male birthdays ..



I used the Bold Bits And Patterns stamp set with a variety of Distress Oxides. I got my inspiration from the Catherine Pooler website as I was out of my comfort zone a bit! I then added a stamped sentiment word strip and some sparkly enamel dots.

So quick and easy for effective I think! See you Friday x

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Scaredy Owl!

Hello peeps!

Today's Bellarific Friday was a sketch inspiration and I decided to use Scaredy Owl!...

 


I love this stamp set SO much, it's so fun! I coloured with copics and then fussy cut out. I then followed the sketch but using different DPs and layered them with a square of burnt orange cardstock. I then created a scalloped double layered circle and stamped the sentiment on from the Frightful And Delightful Sentiment Set. Finally I added some stamped out Halloween word strips.

Papertrey Ink: Special Guy!

Hello! I'm sharing another male card today using some Papertrey Ink products. I used Special Guy stamp set, Baseball T die and Special Guy Stencil Collection...


 I die cut the shirt using white and green cardstock. I then stencilled a design on the front before stamping a sentiment from the Special Guy stamp set. I added a little printed "in law" to personalise my card. I then simply layered up on a panelled wood design piece of paper on kraft cardstock.

Super quick and easy striking male card! Yay!

Stamping Bella: Little Cutie Autumn In The Woods!

Hey! Here is today's Bellarific Friday card featuring Little Cutie Autumn In The Woods...

 


I coloured Little Cutie with copics and then cut into a panel to adhere to a card blank. I die cut the forest archway and leaves in cardstock and adhered to the panel. I then stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiment Set, cut out and raised up on 3d foam pads. I then adhered a strip of leafy DP, the archway and some pretty die cut leaves. So cute! Makes me feel all snuggly!

MFT: Here's To You stamp set and Frosty Beer Mug Dynamics

Hello! 

So sadly as we know MFT closed its doors in July 2025 (sob!) but I've still got some cards I made ages ago that I haven't posted!!

Here's Here's To You sentiment set and the Frosty Beer Mug Dienamics I used to make this card...



I used the dies to cut out the beer mug and froth and coloured with copics. I then adhered to some white cardstock and mounted on black and then brown cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Here's To You sentiment set and finally added some enamel dots. 

A super easy male birthday card!

Stamping Bella: Bellarific Friday with Oddball Spooky Lady and Haunted House Backdrop!

Hello my crafting peeps!

Today I'm sharing Oddball Spooky Lady and Haunted House Backdrop for this week's Bellarific Friday...

 



I coloured Oddball Spooky Lady with copics and then fussy cut her out. I then created a background using the Haunted House Backdrop. I coloured the stamped image first and then masked it out and used Distress Oxides to create the moody sky. I then added a strip of glitter cardstock and mounted Spooky Lady with 3d foam pads. I then die-cut the "Happy Halloween" using cardstock and glitter cardstock and then adhered them using 3d foam pads. Finally I added some teeny stars!
