<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, our five new stamp sets are available to purchase from www.funkyfossil.co.uk :) I hope that you have been enjoying the introduction posts this week and have seen something that appeals to you. Four of our sets are christmas themed with Gamer being our only non-festive set in this release. I don't usually make christmas cards this early in the year but I have to admit that I am really enjoying working with these designs and keep thinking of new ideas :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few more makes with the new stamp sets:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am back with our final stamp set from the new release which will be available to buy from tomorrow. It is an absolute essential set which you will already have seen pop up on a number of our designs this week! Festive Phrases is an A5 set packed full of christmas greetings and sentiments in a range of styles and sizes. Some of them are big enough to be a fun focal point on your cards which is perfect for making quick christmas cards with impact.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few examples:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When combined with our new Let it Snow papers, these sentiments can make quick and simple christmas cards. I combined it here with a few of our mdf snowflake embellishments.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I white heat embossed the sentiment on vellum and placed it behind one of our fabulous girls from She is Fierce.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what I mean:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the ornaments with gilding flakes across the front of a slimline card. The flakes picked up the lovely detail.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am back for the second day of our introductions to the five new stamp sets that we will be releasing on Saturday :) Now we are going to start getting festive - even though it is July, are you ready for some snowfall?? Our Filigree Flakes stamp set features a range of elegant and delicate snowflakes - I love using them as a focal point or an accent on lots of designs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also have a new paper pad to accompany our christmas stamps - Let it Snow is a contemporary range of christmas themed papers in gorgeous teals, aquas, pinks and mustards. I really love them and hope that you will too :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me share some examples:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always love being able to share new stamp designs with you and we have a fab release coming out on 1 August. It is mainly Christmas designs but today's set isn't :) Gamer is an A6 stamp set packed with gaming related images and sentiments including space invaders! They are perfect for those boys/girls who love their online games. As the mum of two teenage boys I know that they will be very useful for me! Also the headphones are perfect for music lovers too :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a couple of examples of the types of thing you can make with this fab set:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdwA7A05ei7RYpbDD6Kxy2JaNFlWQqLhqNagRyB8Exh9lr9IGvEbEudy2qSg6xC4iIZ5JgzHy5rx64PLqpCGTuRNgPZFe1mPQyl9hWnqorHuCnbBkXbhWQdSdX-0WJOb6e242yscaoLc/s1600/IMG_6665%2528Edited%2529+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1590" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrdwA7A05ei7RYpbDD6Kxy2JaNFlWQqLhqNagRyB8Exh9lr9IGvEbEudy2qSg6xC4iIZ5JgzHy5rx64PLqpCGTuRNgPZFe1mPQyl9hWnqorHuCnbBkXbhWQdSdX-0WJOb6e242yscaoLc/s400/IMG_6665%2528Edited%2529+%25282%2529.jpg" width="396" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stamped the icons from the set into some of the apertures from our Blockade stencil and added a heat embossed controller on foam tape. Quick and easy but the ink blending on the stencil adds some visual depth.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxXIjooPgQlg2NbGALDlex810UBafJyyYZeL4Rxrp5w9A1bZi1_ihC07WTV70z5cMRw0iOOalxS9KpMFamcUeC0aldINmIYgwMB3N3xBrRD_MNmY01dBhjB50ClTa6wAqe9hu5A2sHx0/s1600/IMG_6690+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1582" data-original-width="1600" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxXIjooPgQlg2NbGALDlex810UBafJyyYZeL4Rxrp5w9A1bZi1_ihC07WTV70z5cMRw0iOOalxS9KpMFamcUeC0aldINmIYgwMB3N3xBrRD_MNmY01dBhjB50ClTa6wAqe9hu5A2sHx0/s400/IMG_6690+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went grungy for this design using a gelli printed background (using our Number Scramble mask). I stamped the headphones and coloured them with a bit of white paint to give them definition against the background. I stamped images from our Distressed Elements stamp set round the outside in grey ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grungy or CAS this stamp set can be used in so many different ways....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited that we are finally able to make our new stamp sets available :) There are five sets in the June release....our usual mix of cool and quirky images and sentiments to suit all styles. Here are a few more projects that I have made with some of our new stamps:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a card using our Geo Bugs set. Simple masking of the butterflies creates a colourful card.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went for a simple monochrome colour scheme using Find Your Rainbow.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used our Watercolour Lines stencil with one of the fab girls from She is Fierce and added wings from our Dragonfly Duo stencil.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, we have finally reached our last stamp set of the June release :) All five sets will be available to buy from 9am tomorrow and I hope that you have seen something that you like! Today is the turn of a fabulous set designed by Donna Gray. She is Fierce is an A5 set featuring female faces that have been made from Donna's hand carved designs - they are really striking and I have loved working with them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are just a few of my makes:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have simply heat embossed, watercoloured and cut out the girl and attached her to a watercoloured background. I used our Birds in Flight stencil to add the bird detail.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used our Sunray stencil on this card along with our Small Print sentiments which are another new set from this release. The girl is coloured with pencils.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is our third reveal day where we share on of the five new stamp sets that will be available to purchase from 9am on Saturday this week. It is the turn of Starfish Wishes, an A6 set which has a range of gorgeous shells and starfish - perfect for summer and ocean themed projects. The images contain lovely doodled details....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few examples:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I heat embossed the shells in rose gold and watercoloured them in colours matching the paper from our In to the Blue paper pad which I used behind the heart aperture. I love the soft blues and pinks.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I inked through our Mason Jar stencil and stamped and masked the shells before colouring them with pencils. I glazed the jar several times with clear embossing powder to make it look like glass.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you are enjoying a sunny week wherever you are:) Today is our second day of introducing the five new stamp sets which will be available to purchase from this Saturday, 27 June. I will also be featuring some of them on my Hochanda show at 3pm on Saturday :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is the turn of our A5 set, Geo Bugs! I so enjoyed working with Bee Geometric so wanted some more insects and winged things that had a geometric twist. I think it gives them a really contemporary edge! The beetles in this set are gorgeous and there are so many possibilities of colouring them in bright colours :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a few examples....</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU_-9i7YH2AoYpqVYE5McMKVY48A7Fu8nvwkKGhd3hY2_w8H4JcnXmLNY_g9PLJ6Jyy0Eagv_6Pkk8jARWltS05eC3P9IlTH-uoLr-3WQ2p3jhXpRJXVC-WuC2nHXkKMMxFUJ8vLRgyWU/s1600/IMG_5630+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1578" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU_-9i7YH2AoYpqVYE5McMKVY48A7Fu8nvwkKGhd3hY2_w8H4JcnXmLNY_g9PLJ6Jyy0Eagv_6Pkk8jARWltS05eC3P9IlTH-uoLr-3WQ2p3jhXpRJXVC-WuC2nHXkKMMxFUJ8vLRgyWU/s400/IMG_5630+%25282%2529.jpg" width="393" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I simply coloured this beetle in with pencils, masked and used our Linked Hexagons stencil in the background. The set also comes with some hexagon stamps which I added for extra pattern. I love how the background echoes the hexagon in his body!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XISKimAgycmbem5GPz_OT_s8KQfp36zUlGjL4vjPn-Gkydj-5cfRLV_puQr9BhIIQAVsiawE3kZ4GJe5WSspdYSg_sR8rUexS4p6H9FlsgWcd_rC2bQAETYA7seeMaelrrNtVIPm1Ck/s1600/IMG_5761+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1563" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8XISKimAgycmbem5GPz_OT_s8KQfp36zUlGjL4vjPn-Gkydj-5cfRLV_puQr9BhIIQAVsiawE3kZ4GJe5WSspdYSg_sR8rUexS4p6H9FlsgWcd_rC2bQAETYA7seeMaelrrNtVIPm1Ck/s400/IMG_5761+%25282%2529.jpg" width="390" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went bold and bright with this card! I stamped the butterfly from the set and watercoloured a rainbow around it to echo the colours in its wings. The butterfly is a good size (I think approx 8cm across) so makes a perfect focal point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope that you like these examples and check out the amazing work that the DT have done with the Geo Bugs!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am excited to start sharing peeks of the 5 new stamp sets that we are releasing this Saturday, 27 June....I hope that you will like them :) Today we are introducing two new sets - Find Your Rainbow and Small Print. Find Your Rainbow is a scandi style set with loads of weather related images which are perfect for creating whimsical projects. Small Print is a super versatile set which is packed full of small sentiments and inspirational words in a typewritten font.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let me show you what I mean :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For my second card I have used our new <a href="https://www.funkyfossil.co.uk/product-page/caffeine-buzz" target="_blank">Caffeine Buzz </a>stencil with our <a href="https://www.funkyfossil.co.uk/product-page/splatters" target="_blank">Splatters</a> stencil. A bit of texture from corrugated card and a sentiment from <a href="https://www.funkyfossil.co.uk/product-page/in-the-meadow-stamp-set" target="_blank">In the Meadow</a>.</span></div>
