As Autumn is just around the corner, I thought this week I would throw the spotlight on some of our beautiful Autumn/Fall themed stamps.
I’m here to show you why you need them. If you already have them, I’m here to remind you why you needed them, and inspire you to get those stamps inky!
As always, remember to check out our SENTIMENTS section too, for some amazing sets to compliment the images!

Feeling a little devilish! You can watch my Curvy Girl Devil Coloured Pencil Video below to see how this one came to life using Faber-Castell Polychromos coloured pencils.
Just a quick note before I share the card and video. At the moment life is a bit stressful and unsettled as my partner’s father has been in and out of hospital and is now awaiting surgery. So we’re making ourselves available to help family and visit, as well as looking after our adolescent dog. I’m currently working with a temporary colouring/filming set up, so please bear with me if my videos are not quite up to usual standards for the time being. I’m trying my best to get everything set up well, but obviously there are some teething problems as you might notice in today’s video. I’m trying to work out the best place to take photos too. It’s all a bit annoying!
Stamps Used: Stamping Bella Curvy Girl Devil, Angel Devil Sentiment Set,
I stamped the image on hot pressed watercolour paper before colouring with Polychromos coloured pencils.

Hi! Tamara here with you today. I had a plan to use one of the Oddballs today but then when I was going through my stamp drawer I found this awesome stamp and it was brand new, never used so I decided to use this one today and I’m glad I did. These three gnomes are having soooo much fun. This image is called Three gnomes and a Pickup and I used my Distress ink pads to colour it up. First I stamped it with Archival Ink – Jet Black on Farbriano 300 g HP watercolour paper. I’m using extra white watercolouring paper, there are two options (traditional white and extra white) and I like this one more.
Distress ink pads used for colouring:
skin: vintage photo
tree: peeled paint, forest moss
ribbon: fossilized amber, spiced marmalade
pickup: peacock feathers, vintage photo, black soot
gnomes (clothes): villainous potion, faded jeans, barn door
To make a card I used 5″ x 5.5″ card base and decorated it with some Christmas design paper from my stash. I die cut two large snowflakes and some mittens.
Sentiment “Sending you holiday cheer” comes with the image.
Have a lovely Sunday!
Hugs, t.
