2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!

Welcome to Funky Fossil's little corner of blogland. I am delighted to be one of the sponsors for the fab Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and hope that you have been enjoying lots of caffeinated inspiration along the way :)

We are offering £25 credit to spend in store to one of the participants who links up their caffeinated project on the hop. In the meantime, if you go to the Coffee tab at the top of our webstore you will be able to get 20% off anything in our coffee collection when you use the code WINTER20 at checkout. The discount only applies to our coffee themed items.

Now that the weather is turning chilly here in the UK, I like nothing better than to hug a warm mug - although mine is more likely to be filled with hot chocolate:) So I decided to make a couple of cards featuring our Coffee Cup stencil:

I stamped our new Hello Gorgeous flower stamp in to the stencil aperture and coloured with pencils to create this card. The sentiment is from our Musings stamp set.

On this card I stamped images from our new Musings stamp set in to the aperture and used our matching Alpha Numeric stencil around the edges. The sentiment is from My Favourite Things.

I hope you like these coffee cup cards!

Check our our coffee collection in store to get 20% off when you use the code WINTER20 and remember to take part to be in with a chance of winning £25 credit.

Enjoy the hop and thank you for stopping by :)

AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello!

We are here with the start of the AAA Birthday Challenge for October and it is a fab photo inspiration this month full of beautiful colours and autumnal imagery....

Simply create a birthday card which is inspired by some aspect of this picture to play along with us!

I decided to create a card based on the pumpkin tucked at the back and used our pumpkin trio stencil to make this:

I simply inked through the stencil and added some pencil shading before adding some gold splatters.

I hope that you like it and check out the rest of ideas from the DT - there are so many directions that you can go in with this photo!

You have until 1 November to join in.

Thanks as always for stopping by,

National Coffee Day Blog Hop!

Hello!

Thank you for joining us on this fab hop to celebrate national coffee day :) The hop starts at the Coffee Loving Cardmakers page and you won't want to miss any of the fun stops along the way!

As one of the hop sponsors, Funky Fossil is offering a £25 voucher to our store to one comment left on this post which will be picked at random when the hop closes at midnight on Tuesday, 6 October.

We are also offering 10% off everything in store while the hop is live when you use the code FFCOFFEE10 at checkout :)

We have recently released a stamp set called Time for Tea which features doodle style tea and coffee pots and cups so that seemed like the perfect set to go to for National Coffee Day.....

I have simply stamped and masked the two coffee pots before adding some coffee bean stencilling behind them. The sentiment is from Altenew.

I have added one of the cute snails from our Snail Mail stamp set to one of the tea cups for this sweet card :)

I added our Confetti Hearts stencil to the cardbase and to the tea on this fun design.

Here is our Time for Tea stamp set:

I hope that you like these cards and have lots of fun along the hop! Don't forget to leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning £25 to spend in store at www.funkyfossil.co.uk. Check out our range of stamps, stencils and mdf now to get 10% off with the code FFCOFFEE10.

September Stamp Release - Introducing Time for Tea

Hello!

We are on to our second day of introducing the five new stamp sets that will be released for sale on Saturday this week! Today is an A6 stamp set featuring quirky teapots and tea cups which will be great for all of those tea and coffee lovers out there!

Here are a few examples of what I have made with them:

I've created a stack of cups with a bit of masking and combined the stamps with our Knitted Background stencil.

I used our Floral Background stencil to create the heart on this card.

I do love these stamps - they are so cute to work with :) The rest of the DT have also got great designs to share with you using this set:

Here is the stamp set:

I hope you will stop by again tomorrow when we introduce our third set from the release :)

September Stamp Release - Introducing Silly Snowmen

Hello!

I am always excited (and a bit nervous) to share our new stamps with you :) We have five fab new stamp sets which will be available to buy from Saturday this week and I will be sharing a new set with you each day this week. Today's stamp set is christmas themed and features fun snowmen illustrations by Natalya Skripko.

Here are a couple of cards that I have made with the set:

Of course I had to put one of the snowmen in our snowglobe stencil and make a shaker card! The scandi snowflakes are in the background and one of our mdf snowflake embellishments was added to complete the design.

I shall link this card up at Time Out where the theme is Season :)

I combined each of our snowmen with our Let It Snow paper pad to create this slimline card.

I hope you like these cheeky characters! They are sure to make you smile :) The lovely DT also have been busy making designs with the new stamps - check out their inspiration on their blogs, insta and Facebook:
