Lotus Reflections

Dear Crafty Friends,

Today I have been playing with the new Lotus Reflections stamp set

by Funky Fossil Designs

and some stencils.

For this card I used a combination of the

slimline Flower borders and the Snow Storm stencils.

I started with making the background with the stencils. On top I stamped the large image in black and colored the image with zig markers. The lotus flower is stamped on a seperate piece of yellow paper and embossed in gold. After kutting out the flower, I added it to the large stamped image with foam tape. The happy birthday sentiment is a new die.

Next I made a slimline card and used the Flower borders stencil all around the card and inside the rectangle I used the Bubbles stencil. You see i used only part of the large stamp here and again I added  the lotus flower with foam tape to ad more dimention to the card.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

 

New stamp by Michael Strong

Hello Crafty Friends,

My good friend Michael Strong has a new stamp set 

of two Octagons. These are mirror images.

On Saturday we have another online  class and we

will be using many cariations of this stamp.

Be sure to cheque my cards on Sunday for ideas.

Today I made some easy cards, just to show you the new stamps.

I stamped both stamps and embossed them with gold embosing powder.

Then I used distress oxide ink on my work plate and

 did the direct to paper technique to get a little color on the image.

I glued it to a piece of gold paper and on a red card.

Around the gold paper you see some tiny sticker lines.

The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

In combination with the octagon set I used the Seasonal Silhouettes,

These stamps fit  perfectly in the center of the octagon.

For this one I did exactly as above, but in green. 

Could be a great card for St. Patricks Day.

I added the cloer with foam tape to the center.

Wonderful sentiment by Tim Holtz.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and keep creating!

 

Spread your wings!

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

With Valentine around the corner I came uo with this card.

It is irisfolding, stenceling and stamping.

I started with the heart in the middle of the card:

If you never done irisfolding, I have a tutorial on y blog HERE.

This heart is a very easy pattern  to start with.

Here is the template for you.

When done with the irisfolding this is how 

it looks, but it is the back!

When you turn it around, the heart looks like this.

I took the Ring of Hearts stencil by Funky Fossil Designs

and added all the hearts around the irisfolding heart.

Then I  took this elf from the stamp set

Christmas Characters. I colored her with zig markers

and on the skirt and hair I added some drops of glitter glue.

The sentiment is from another set, Hogs and Kisses.

On the heart I added the wings that come from the 

set new Guitar Hero stamp set.The image is embossed

with silver embossing powder.

So many techniques and stamp sets come together on this card.

I hop you like it and it inspires you for your card.

Any questions bout the irisfolding? Feel free to ask.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!

Tutorial and Giveaway

Hello Crafty Friends

For today I create a set of fun backgrounds

with the wonderful Spring Geometrics papers

by Funky Fossil Designs and the

stamps from the new Let's Party stamp set.

For this technique you print out the grid below

and choose a design paper. You can also use all the scraps

you have left from these papers. I found this punch

among my stash, that was just the right size.

Save the grid to your computer and print it 

in the size you like it to be.

If you do noit have a punch, you can also cut strips

of paper and make these into the square size you need.

You need a total of 18 squares.

There are 12 full squares

and the other 6 you cut into half

to use for the border. Glue all the

squares in place and you have a 

beautiful background for your card.

Here another sample with the same background. 

I also used Pugs and Hugs stamps (the cup and sentiment) and

the Doodle Borders, that fit perctly around the background.

And now for the GIVEAWAY.......

drumroll.......

Here is the set:

It is the Blooming Wreath clear stamp set.

How can you be the winner of  this set?

Just leave a comment

and I would love it if you become a

follower, but it is not a must.

You have until 

January 24 to leave your comment.

Thank ou for looking,

stay safe and keep crafting!

 

 

Day 4 and 5 of the new stamps by Funky Fossil Designs

Dear Crafty Friends,

I have been so busy with work and makes, 

that I have not shared the other two new sets by

Funky Fossil Designs.

The 4th new stamp set is called Blooming Wreath.

This is a wonderful set with a flower wreat,

flowers and cute birds. I have not even fully explored all

that is possible with this set but here are my first two

cards. One you see above and was started with

a piece of paper from the new 6"x 6" paper block

Spring geometrics.

There is also wonderful new washi tape:

Monochrome set of two rolls.

With only 2 flowers and a sentiment the card is

quickly finished.

The next card is also made with the flowers from the 

set. These roses come in two sizes and the larger one 

has a leave too. I colored the roses with zig markers

On top of the rosed I added silver glitter

embossing powder with  an embossing pen.

The cute bird is also part of this set.

I added som splatter to make the background

more interresting.

For this card i used the girl from the

She is Fierce stamp set.

The last set that is new this month is

Paisley Print.

This set has lots of stamps and perfect for

mandala's, backgrounds and lots of creativeness.

Here I used one of the papers behind the stamped part of

the card. I also used the Paisly Petals stencil in the background.

I only used a few of the elements from the set, colored them, 

cut them out and glued them to the card with foam tape.

For this card I went all out. This is an old technique called

Modern Grid by Technique Junkies.

You see I also used the Let's Party bunny and cat and 

the Be.You.Tiful stencil.

All 5 new sets are now available at

Funky Fossils Design.

Sarah Gray, the owner, was also on

Hochanda TV

and you can watch the rewinds and get even

more ideas of what to do with the new stamps.

Thank you for looking

from Funky Fossil Designs

I resent to you the set Guitar Hero.

Not only will there be new stamp sets at the

a design paper block (6x6 inch) and matching 

rolls of washi tape.

On this card I tried to show you some of the several designs 

out of the paper block. The black/white stripe is a piece

of wide washi tape.

Here a quick look of the materials.

For this card I was inspired by one of the design team members
