Hello!
Amy here on the Blogabella today with my final Halloween cardof the year. Looking through my stamps, I realized that these fun Oddball Spooky Kids were still waiting to be inked up, so I remedied that situation with this spooky faux post card scene.
The Oddball Spooky Kids come as a set of three stamps; Wednesday, Pugsley and Thing. This gave me just what I needed for both the main characters and the decoration of the faux postage stamp. I stamped the creepy kiddos side by side then colored them in a nearly monochromatic palette that suited their gloomy nature. Once the coloring was complete, I masked off the kids, postage stamp and space that says ‘post card’ so that I could use my Copic airbrush system to spray on the dark background color. Next, I embellished the background by dipping a q-tip into some colorless blender salution and added the fuzzy spots cascading across the card. From there all I had to do was add the various postage themed accents and a pair of older sentiments to complete this spooktacular Halloween themed ‘post card’. 🙂
Stay crafty my friends!

Happy Friday! This week we challenged the babes to create autumn or halloween cards following some photo/colour inspiration. The results are delicious!
Before I share their cards, a little news! Today we are also releasing a limited time digital edition bundle of our Uptown Girl Zodiac stamps.
The rubber stamps were retired a while ago, and we have had quite a few requests for these lovely ladies, so we thought we would give you a chance to grab them in digital form. They are only available in a complete bundle (12 sets for the price of 11), and will be available through 26th November 2026. The digital sets may be available again in the future, but no promises!
Gorgeous pencil colouring of this sweet hedgehog from Ginger!
Loving the card design from Jenny with those layered arches!
An adorable autumn scene from Delphine!
A classic Oddball favourite from Michele!
Love the background elements Debra incorporated in a strip here to create a mini scene, very cool!
An Oddball favourite from Steph!

Some mid-week stamping and colouring fun, perfect for getting those Christmas cards crossed off the list!
Tiny Townie Rita’s Reindeer Snuggle is a sweet follow on from the original Tiny Townie Rita and the Reindeer rubber stamp. Love the story that has unfolded with the new release. Rita has long been one of my favourites.
Apologies – the sky colouring at the end was cut off as the footage corrupted, but I used B60, B63 and B66 to colour this part.
MWAH!

This week we’re shining the spotlight on our beautiful Tiny Townie Garden Girl Marigold rubber stamp. Marigold is October’s birth flower, a little ray of sunshine in the autumn.
Our Tiny Townie Garden Girls are enduring favourites, and it is easy to see why. Such sweet characters, with beautiful floral details. They look gorgeous whatever medium you colour with.
Our Babes have of course, created some beautiful cards with her over the years, let’s take a look!
MWAH!

Hello!
It’s time for another Scenic Saturday on the Bellariffic blog and I’m taking a break from Halloween to play with some of the new Oddball Zodiac girls that were part of the Holiday release, Oddball Zodiac Cancer, Oddball Zodiac Leo and Oddball Zodiac Virgo.
This card isn’t my usual scene building type of card but I was short on time this week, making it a great opportunity to play with some of the patterned paper in my craft stash. I started with a smaller scrap of my good coloring card stock and trimmed the bottom edge using a pretty scalloped border die. After masking the scallops, I stamped Zodiac Virgo from the chest up. I then masked her off before stamping Oddball Zodiac Cancer and Oddball Zodiac Leo on either side. By cropping and layering them this way I had a group of three friends but a limited amount to color. I had already pulled the pretty floral print paper so I color matched their clothes to the paper. The floral print is also very busy with a lot of visual weight, which lead me to opt for a simple airbrush of grey behind the girls as not to compete with the print and create a nice balance and place for the eye to rest between the top and bottom of the layout design. The sentiment from the Oddball Unicorn stamp set and as soon as I saw it I knew it would be the perfect finishing touch for these Oddball gal pals.
Stay crafty my friends!
