Day of the Month Card Club

Hello!

Day of the Month Card Club is celebrating its first birthday!  I love the idea behind the challenge and this month the theme is National Puppy Day so lots of opportunities to feature adorable furry friends on our card designs!  

Funky Fossil is one of the sponsors celebrating the challenge's first birthday and this is the card that I made to play along:

Of course, I had to use our Pugs and Hugs set for this challenge!  I coloured him in polychromos and added our Splatter stencil in the background of this CAS design.

I hope that you like it and take time to play along at Day of the Month.  The challenge is open until 31 March so there is plenty of time to get involved and win a prize!

Here are the products that I used to make this card:

Pug Love

Hello!

Happy Valentine's Day :)  I thought that I would share a card that I have made with our adorable pug stamps.  He is looking for love....

I inked up our Heartlines stencil in ombre shades of blue and used our Let's Talk stencil to create the little speech bubble.

I shall link up at The Male Room Challenge where the theme is love and at Addicted to CAS where we are using ombre techniques.

We are having a valentine weekend sale in store this weekend with 15% off everything when you use the code HEART15 at checkout.

  

Thanks for stopping by!

All loved up!

Hello!

The build up to Valentine's day must have got to me this year as I have added a few more heart based stencils to the shop this week and have made the following cards with them....

First up I used our new Heart Lines stencil with That's Crafty Texture Paste (which we also sell in store now too!) on kraft card.  I simply added one of the cute pugs from Pugs and Hugs and a punny sentiment :)  I shall link up at Time Out where we are being Affectionate and at Simon's Monday Challenge where the theme is Loved Up.

On my next card I have used our new Quirky Owls stamp set along with the new Sweet Hearts stencil.  I sprayed through the stencil with That's Crafty Flat Matte Spray in Rose.  It is a lovely colour.

I shall join in at Simon's Wednesday Anything Goes challenge with this card.

AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello!

How can we be in November already?!  The theme for our challenge over at AAA Birthday this month is to feature a number on your design.





















I decided to get the sweet pug from the Pugs and Hugs stamp set dressed up for a birthday party!  I combined him with the Say What? and Confetti Sprinkles stencils....

I hope you like this fun card and play along with us this month!  

I shall also link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes :)

2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Hello!

I am super excited to be one of the sponsors for the ever awesome Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - so many fab crafters and companies getting together :)

I have £15 credit to giveaway to spend in store at Funky Fossil :)  

Also to celebrate all of the lovely crafters who join in this blog hop event, there is a 15% discount on everything in my store when you use the code COFFEE15 at checkout for the duration of the hop.  If you haven't visited Funky Fossil before it would be great if you could check out the large range of stencils and stamps that we have to offer!

I have made a couple of cards with the cute Pug from our Pugs and Hugs stamp set and Coffee Bean Background stencil:

Here our pug is nestled in a teacup and I went with a pink coffee bean background!  These illustrations are by Kimma Parish from Le Petite Market.

Here I layered up the coffee bean stencil in shades of brown at the bottom of the card.  Stamped the put and then masked him before using our Splatters stencil.  He is coloured with pencils.  The fab sentiment is from Altenew.

I hope you like these fun designs.  Please leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning £15 credit to use at Funky Fossil!

Enjoy the rest of your hopping,

AAA Card Challenge

Hello!

I was inspired by the CAS sketch at AAA Cards to make a card featuring the cute pug from my Pugs and Hugs stamp set.  I don't usually do very well with sketches but this one is super easy to work with and there is an optional twist of animals....

I simply masked off a strip of the card base and lightly inked with Tumbled Glass distress oxide before overlaying the coffee bean background stencil over the top.  The little pug has been watercoloured.

I shall also link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where we are using stamps on our cards in celebration of Stamptember.

Here are the products that I used:

  

It is a quick one from me today - thanks for stopping by!

New Stamps Now Available!

Hello!

I am popping in a bit later than planned to let you know that my new stamps are now available at www.funkyfossil.co.uk :)  There are 4 sets in the release and they range from cute and quirky to elegant and detailed.  I have been lucky enough to work with some fab illustrators - Maggie Molloy and Kimma Parish - in bringing these designs to you in stamp form and I have had so much fun creating with them over the past week or so.

Here are a few more cards that I have made with them in addition to the inspiration that I have been sharing all week.

I love this happy whale!  He is watercoloured here and combined with my Make a Splash stencil.  I shall link this fella up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes!  I shall also link up for a second time at Seize the Birthday Challenge although without the optional twist.

I decided to take a snap of this cute pug and put the polaroid on to cork to create the look of a pinboard.  I shall add this card to Simon's Monday Challenge where the theme is to Frame It.

These elegant blooms from Beautiful Inside and Out are very versatile - whether you want to colour them or use them as outline stamps.  I love the mix and match sentiments too!

I paired this beautiful butterfly with my Brick Wall stencil.  It is a gorgeous image to colour :)

Here are the new stamp sets:

Pugs and Hugs

Hello!

Are you ready for another dose of cuteness from the fabulous Le Petite Market?  This is my 3rd stamp set which will be available for sale from 6pm on Friday this week.  Pugs and Hugs features an adorable little pug and some fun punny sentiments.  Here are a few examples:

I simply coloured the pug in with pencils and added the sentiment.  I shall link up at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where the theme is Anything Goes.

This is another quick and simple card - stamping the pug on kraft card.
