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

and I do hope you come back tomorrow

for I have a tutorial and a stampset to

give away!!

Stay safe, healthy

and keep crafting!

Club Scrap Monthly Sketch Challenge: March

Here is this month sketch on the

Club Scrap Chat Forum.

A great sketch for my basket of 

Club Scrap papers.

 Here my finsihed card on a pile of

mini pizza boxes I found tucked away

in one of my closets (Julie, what can we

do with these??)

See the bottle caps I used? Which kit was that?

And some paisley embossing in the background.

And here a more close-up look of my card.

Everything is Club Scrap, but from various kits

I have. The design paper is from the

Western Hybrid  kit, printed with the computer.

Sketch challenge #342 and Coffee

With Michael Strong's new cup 

rubber stamp I enter my cards in 

the sketch challenge from the

CAS Colors & Sketches Blog #342.

In this first card I followed the sketch exactly.

I love the new cup, which has two handles.

This way you can choose if you want it on the right

side or on the left.

The sentiment is by Graciellie Design

and the paisly background is also by Michael Strong.

I found it while clearing a pile of papers on my desk.

The dotted paper is a piece of scrap design paper.

Cup and paisley background are embossed

and the cups are colored with a white pencil and

decorated with a sticky pearl.

It is so much fun to try and use up the papers that are on 

one's desk, so here another card. I found the gold

rosette ready cut (sizzix) as wel as the coffee ring

(yse, I had a gret pile and more will follow).

The sentiment are Tim Holtz stickers.

More coffee cards soon for there

will be another:

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Sunday ScrapPage: Festival of Lights

This page has a lot of dark photo's. Yes, that is

because we took a boat trip in the evening. In Amsterdam there 

was a Festival of Lights and that is best seen when itis dark.

You find more info about this Festival HERE. There are

also more pictures there with a better view.Making

pictures in the dark (and especially when it is raining as well)

is very hard.

So we took one of these special canal oat trips that took us around a lot of 

the sights. The was also a walking tour, but that is too much on one 

evening.

I choose to use Michael Strong's Paisley stamps to decorate

the page, because I felt the paisleys gave a kind of wavey

(water) feeling to the page.

The paisley elements are stamped with versamark and 

embossed with white embossing powder.

Thank you for looking.

 Have a creative day!

Octagon & Paisley

Deze kaart is gemaakt met de Octagon en Paisley stempels van Michael Strong en het papier dat hierbij past van Club Scrap. Ik heb hiervoor zilveren embossingpoeder gebruikt en het geel is van Rangers Sea Shell serie en heet "conch shell" en past er precies bij. Onderaan heb ik een patroontje van de kaart getekend met de maten erbij.

Vilt Uitdaging/ Felt Challenge

Steeds laat ik mij uitdagen voor iets nieuws en doe daarom mee met de uitdaging bij Caardvarks. Deze keer moest je iets met vilt op je kaart doen. Deze foto vond ik er zeer geschikt voor. Heb hem eergisteren gemaakt toen ik was varen met Catherine en dan samen met het Paisley papier van Club Scrap, alsof het ervoor is gemaakt! Verder heb ik een stuk chipboard gebruikt als tak van Maya Road, die hebben ook weer leuke nieuwe spullen. Al met al ben ik zelf erg tevreden over deze kaart.
I like to be challenged into something new and that is why is enter the Caardvarks challenge. This time there had to be something with felt on the card. The other day, when we were on the boat with Catherine, I made this picture and together with the Paisley paper from Club Scrap (as if was made for it) I made this card. I also used chipboard from Maya Road - they have such wonderful new products.
I am quite pleased with the result.
