Hi all,
I have arrived home today from a short break in Newquay with my Hubby following him working away in China since Christmas and we had a wonderful time.
My new craft stamps was simply crying out to be played with and I wanted to make John a card for spoiling me during our stay.
I couldn't decide what to play with first so I opened all my new stamp sets ( soup stamps. Bo Bunny owl set) and decided to put them together to see what I came up with and I really please with the end soup recipe lol! here is the end result!
I cut the stitched rectangle dies first and placed them flat onto a 6x6 inch card with removable dots, i then stamped the first owl, masked it and stamped another one by its side, then masked them both and stamped images from the Polkadoodles soup collection around the owl images, then i placed a round acrylic block over the owl to give the impression of a moon and brushed over with blue distress ink over the whole card, I put 3mm foam tape on the rectangle die cut frame. the sentiment is from an Avery Elle stamp set, For the colouring i have used my letraset flex markers.
Iv'e thought of so many variations i can do with these stamps so I will adapt this card design for my craft & chatter group !
Until my next post "Happy Crafting Folks!

- About me…. After forty years of the daily hustle, I officially traded my briefcase for a crochet hook in September 2025! My life is a colourful tapestry woven with love, family, and a lifelong obsession with making things by hand. When I'm not lost in a sea of paper (my favourite obsession since 2008!), you’ll find me adventuring with my husband, John, and our big, fluffy shadow, Moosh—an 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog with a heart as big as his paws. My greatest treasures are my daughter, Lauren, and the three little stars who call me Nana: Harper, Callie, and Casey. I’ve been crafting stories and keepsakes since childhood, and now I finally have all the time in the world to let my imagination run wild! ✨🧶✂️
