New Stamps Release Day!

Hello!

I am delighted to confirm that our five new stamp sets are now available to purchase and, even better, there is 10% off everything in store this weekend to celebrate :)

We are also doing a release day blog hop - each member of the DT have inspirational cards to share with you - and every comment you leave will increase your chances of winning the entire release. You can find links to their blogs at the bottom of this post.

However, here are a few cards that I have created with the new stamps:

I used some of the images from Cattitude to create this card. I stamped the main cat and masked her off before inking a strip along the bottom of the card in Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. I then laid our Dotty Grid stencil over the top to give the look of a carpet. I stamped the gentleman cat, masked him off and inked the large thought bubble from our Say What stencil. The cats are coloured with Polychromos pencils.

This card features Cupcake Crazy. I stamped, watercoloured and cut the cupcake out and laid it over a stencilled background using our Sunray stencil

Finally I used Funky Florals and Happy Words. The floral cluster was gold heat embossed and then masked off before I inked our Funky Circles stencil. I watercoloured the flowers and used a sentiment from Happy Words.

I hope that you like this trio of cards and the new stamp sets:

Remember there is 10% off everything in store until midnight on Monday, 30 March! Just use the code MARCH10 at checkout.

Introducing Cupcake Crazy

Hello!

**I just wanted to start by confirming that we are open for business - I run Funky Fossil from home - cutting and packing orders myself. As long as the post office remains open we can still dispatch orders. Your custom means a lot to me!**

We are sharing our new stamp release which will be available to purchase from Saturday, 28 March. As always it is an eclectic collection of stamp sets which offer a mix of quirky, abstract and elegant designs - I am very excited about them! Today's set was designed by Kimma Parish from Le Petite Market. We love her illustrations :)

Cupcake Crazy is great for lots of occasions - it is a fun and celebratory stamp set. Here are a couple of cards that I have made with images from the set:

I coloured two of the cupcakes in and cut them out - paper piecing the wrapper. The background is made using our Lots of Hearts stencil.

I watercoloured this cupcake and used a glimmer pen on the icing along with glossy accents on the heart. I cut it out and combined it with a stencilled background using our Bunting and Banners stencil.

I shall link this card up at Time Out where they are celebrating their 6th birthday - it is such a fab challenge - congrats to Sandie and the wonderful DT :)

Here is the stamp set:
