Hey!

I'm Katie, the face behind Mama Bear Creates.

I'm a pink haired, rainbow loving girl wanting to bring a bit of positivity to peoples lives through colourful illustrations, stationery and accessories.

I live in Thame, Oxfordshire with my husband, Rob and our two sons, Daniel and Jonah.

A little about my journey...

I had never thought of myself as a particularly creative person; although I’ve always been the type that would look at something I wanted to buy and think “Maybe I could make that!”. Over the years I’ve made a few different homemade gifts; sometimes they worked out and sometimes not so much!

My creative journey properly began at the end of January 2019 when I realised I hadn’t yet set a New Year’s Resolution. It was actually Rob that suggested I try card making as I needed a hobby I could do at home when the boys were in bed to help take my mind off my anxiety. So, I bought a few supplies to get me started and I was completely hooked!

Mama Bear Creates was founded in September 2019 with the vision of providing quirky and unique handmade cards that you don’t see in every shop on the high street. Since beginning, I have invested in different equipment, so I have been able to learn new techniques and create more products. In 2021 I began to learn the art of digital illustration which I have incorporated into my cards as well as providing a whole new range of adorable products.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions but, in the meantime, please enjoy browsing my website!

Love, Katie x
