Monster Night – Pumpkin Carriage Magic

 Hello my crafty friends,

Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card made with the Hello Autumn digi stamp collection from Polkadoodles. I coloured the adorable image with pencils - I love how the soft blending brings out the pastel tones of the pumpkin carriage and the cute little characters inside.

The background is a mix of dark blues and gold splatters, creating a magical night sky full of sparkle. The sentiment “Beware - Enter if you dare!” adds just the right touch of spooky charm!

This project was such a joy to make - playful, colourful, and perfect for the Halloween season.

Thankful For You | Hello Autumn Collection by Polkadoodles Crafts

 Hello crafty friends!

Today I’m back to share a cozy, layered autumn card created for the Polkadoodles Crafts using the sweet Hello Autumn collection!

This project brings together a playful garden scene featuring an adorable squirrel perched high up on a branch and a busy little bear surrounded by autumn leaves, acorns, and garden tools. I colored all the elements using colored pencils for a warm, soft finish and framed everything inside a scalloped window die to add depth and dimension. The whole design is finished off with a sweet "Thankful for YOU" sentiment at the bottom.

I hope this cute garden scene brings a little extra warmth to your autumn crafting! What are your favorite motifs to color during this season? Let me know in the comments below!

Fall Vibes & Pumpkin Spice – Winnie Autumn Wishes

 Hello Crafters!

Fall is in full swing, and I couldn’t resist creating another cozy card with the gorgeous Winnie Autumn Wishes collection from Polkadoodles. This design is all about warm colours, crunchy leaves, and that comforting pumpkin spice feeling we all love.

Winnie, wrapped in her scarf and holding a big autumn leaf, is surrounded by her little dog and all the sweet seasonal details — acorns, mushrooms, and a steaming cup of pumpkin spice. I used coordinating patterned papers from the collection to build layers and added a cute banner spelling FALL for a cheerful touch.

The mix of reds, greens, and golden tones makes this card feel like a walk through a forest on a crisp autumn morning. It’s one of those projects that instantly brings a smile and reminds us to enjoy the little things.

Thank you for stopping by.

Little Monsters – Hello Autumn Magic

 Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a fun and slightly spooky card made with the Hello Autumn digi stamp collection from Polkadoodles. I coloured the sweet bunny image with pencils — I love how soft shading brings out all the tiny details and gives the character a warm, hand‑drawn feel.

The background mixes grungy textures with splashes of yellow and orange, creating that perfect Halloween‑meets‑autumn vibe. I added a playful sentiment “Little Monsters” to tie it all together — because this season is all about cute tricks and cosy treats!

This project was such a joy to make — a mix of whimsy, colour, and a touch of spooky fun.

Thanks for stopping by, see you next time!

 Hello everyone!

Autumn is here, and it’s time to celebrate all those cozy, colourful moments! For this card, I used the brand-new Winnie Autumn Wishes collection from Polkadoodles — a perfect mix of adorable digi stamps and beautiful patterned papers.

 Hello everyone!

Autumn is officially in the air, and it is time to embrace crisp leaves, cozy scarves, and warm color palettes. Today, I am excited to share a brand-new handmade card I created for the Polkadoodles Design Team using the super sweet "Hello Autumn" collection.

For this project, I colored the adorable bunny sweeping up colorful autumn leaves using colored pencils to bring out soft shading and vibrant tones.

The sentiment "Hello Autumn" tops off the card, framed in rich burgundy and soft blue layers to complement the fall theme.

Magical Autumn Brew with Polkadoodles Crafts & Stencil Butter Gold!

 Hello crafty friends!

Autumn is officially in the air, and that means it’s time for cozy colors, spooky vibes, and a little bit of magic! Today, I’m sharing a project featuring a sweet new release stamp from Polkadoodles Crafts.

For this card, I wanted to focus on vibrant coloring and a magical, glowing background to surround this adorable little witch stirring her bubbly cauldron. I colored the main image using colored pencils to bring out all the soft shading, rich blues, purples, and rich autumn tones. To create that eye-catching background, I used the Candy Swirl Christmas Holiday Stencil. I first blended soft purple inks through the stencil to set the base design, and then layered over it using Gold Stencil Butter to give those swirling rays a gorgeous, shiny metallic texture! I layered the focal panel onto a purple mat and added a framed sentiment tag with "Hocus Pocus" in the top left corner.

Supplies Used:

• Stamp: Polkadoodles Crafts (New Autumn Release)

• Stencil: Candy Swirl Christmas Holiday Stencils

• Mediums: Colored Pencils, Blendable Inks, Gold Stencil Butter

I had so much fun creating this cute autumn brew! What do you think of combining stencils with stencil butter for background texture? Let me know in the comments below!

 Hello my lovely crafty friends,

I hope you’re having a gentle, creative day and maybe even a quiet moment with a cup of tea. Today I’m sharing a sweet little card I made using one of the adorable puppies from the brand‑new Fluffy Friends collection by Polkadoodles.

For the background, I built up layers of inks and paints to create a soft mixed‑media look. A few stitched details, a heart in the centre, and gentle colours bring everything together without overpowering the image. The puppy remains the star - coloured with pencils to keep that cosy, hand‑drawn feel.

It’s one of those makes that remind me why I love crafting so much. A small card, but full of emotion. A tiny message that says “I’m thinking of you”.
