AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello!

Happy Monday and welcome to a new challenge over at AAA Birthday :) Our theme this month is Cute:

I think that our new Quirky Owls stamp set is super cute and made this one layer card with some masking and inking:

I shall also join in the fun over at Seize the Birthday where the theme is All Creatures Great and Small and at Simon's Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes.

I look forward to seeing your cute birthday cards.  Check out the inspiration from the amazing AAA Birthday DT too :)

Here is the stamp set that I have used which is available to buy now from www.funkyfossil.co.uk.

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.

Here are the products that I have used today:

Funky Fossil Release Day and Giveaway!!

Hello!

Finally, our five new stamp sets are available for sale at www.funkyfossil.co.uk :)  Hopefully this release has a stamp set for every taste and style and you have been inspired by our preview posts this week!

There are 3 A6 stamp sets - Quirky Owls, Blooming Birthday and Serenity:

And 2 A5 stamp sets - Adventure and Scandi Home:

 

We want to celebrate the release with a giveaway of all 5 sets to one lucky person drawn at random from comments left on this and the DT blogs/insta feeds.  You have until midnight on Wednesday 29 January to leave a comment :)

Here are a few more cards that I have made with these sets:

I have used one of the fab focal images from Adventure along with our Distressed Diamonds and Splatter stencils.  I also made my own washi by stamping the swallow images on to some mop up rice paper.

This card features images from Scandi Home white embossed on grey with one of the corner stamps creating the patterned red background.

Here is Serenity which features the yoga silhouette against an alcohol ink circle with the cosmic symbols stamped in pale pink in the background.

I haven't even got time to show you more of the cards that I have made with Blooming Birthday and Quirky Owls as I want you to be able to check out the inspiring makes from the DT.  They have created such beautiful projects with these stamps:

Funky Fossil January Release - Quirky Owls

Hello!

I am so excited to start sharing details of the stamp sets that we are going to be releasing this Saturday at 9am :)  The DT and I have had them for a while now and I have been looking forward to telling you about them!  The release is made up of 5 sets which cover a range of styles as usual including fabulous illustrations by Kimma Parish through to eye catching scandi designs and simple florals.

Today we start with Kimma's wonderfully unique illustrations.  This set is quirky owls and is full of personality as usual.  Here is an example:

This geeky owl is just so cute!  I stamped and coloured him and adhered him over a stencilled heart which has the Retro Starburst stencil to create a starry sky.  The stamp set has other sweet characters to choose from:

The DT have been creating some amazing cards with this set.  You can find their inspirational samples here:
