AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello!

We are already in to August....it has been such a topsy turvy year that I am losing track of time :)  However, a new month brings a new AAA Birthday Challenge and this month we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge to get you inspired:

I have gone for the top line - Bright, Embossing and Masculine to make this card:

I have used our new Gamer Stamp set - heat embossing the headphones, along with our Distressed Elements stamps and Splatters stencil.  I went with a colour scheme of Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Mermaid Lagoon to keep the card zingy!

Which of the rows will you go for to create your birthday card this month?

Thank you for stopping by,

August Release Day!

Hello!

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 :)

Here are a few more makes with the new stamp sets:

The Gamer set is so much fun to use and great for all those teens/adult gamers in our lives.  I have used the set with our new Circular stencil here.

I used our Filigree Flakes and Festive Phrases stamp sets with our Snow Globe stencil which I have used as a shaker template.

I have combined our Filigree Flakes with our Snow Flurry stencil and mdf snowflake embellishments.  The panel is matted on to the new Let It Snow paper pad!

I have used one of our small round MDF plaques here with a gelli printed paper, Snow Flurry stencil, MDF Snowflake embellishment and one of the lovely Christmas Characters!

Finally, I have foiled the Elegant Ornaments with Wow Fab Foil and Bonding Powder.

Elegant or whimsical, hopefully there are stamps for all tastes here and don't forget the fab Let It Snow paper pad!

The DT have been amazing all week and have some final inspiration to share with you today.  Check them out here....

Introducing our August Stamp Release - Day 1: Gamer

Hello!

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 :)

Here are a couple of examples of the types of thing you can make with this fab set:

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.

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.

Grungy or CAS this stamp set can be used in so many different ways....

I hope that you like it!

The rest of the DT have been working their magic with this set too:
