Critters in Cups 5

 

Hello Crafty Caffinated Friends,

It seems hard to stop playing with this set

Critters in Cups by 

Funky Fossil Designs.

Today I will share with you how I made this card:

I started the card with the background using the stencil 

Chatty Cups and worn lipstick and fossilized amber

distress oxide ink.

Next I added 2 different stamps on top:

scribble circles with frayed burlap distress oxide

and vintage script with black ink.

Than i stamped the images I wanted to use.

Not only the Critters in Cups, but also one of

the sentiments from the Coffee and Friends set.

I also added a rol of washi tape from the set Flowerful

Washi tape to put on the background panel later on.

Next the coloring of the images. I used the same 

distress oxide inks as I used for the stencil and the

stamping.

And here is the finished card with the washi tape

 on the left side and a little flower on top

of the head of the cat.

I nearly always have a piece of paper left, for 

I never cut the panel the right size for you never

know if you make a mistake (and than you can cut it off).

Thank you for looking.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the proces 

of how I make a card.

Enjoy your day!

Caffinated greetings,

Critters in Cups 3

 

Welcome back my crafty caffinated friends!

It is another day of playing with the awesome  set

Critters in Cups by 

Funky Fossil Designs.

Today the dog is the main character on the card.

You may notice that the dog in the cup looks the other way

and may wonder how I did this. There is a mirror stamp, but I never

have a good result with it, so I stamp  real well and than 

scan the image in my printer. I save it as a jpg and

in my word program I reverse the image, print it,

color it and cut it to use on my card.

The images are colored with watercolor.

The cup is made with the Layering Cup die set.

Here the inside of the card.

The sentiment on the front and on the inside are from 

another Funky Fossil Designs set called 

Coffee and Friends.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative caffinated day!

Masculine caffinated Christmas card

Hello Caffinated Crafty Friends,

Here I am with my card for the

#6 challenge of the

Caffinated Christmas Card Callenge.

The theme this month is: Masculine.

So for my card I used a Christmas theme filefolder by Tim Holtz

and his Inquisitive stamps. The coffee cup die is a Big die

and the sentiment is by Verve Stamps (not available anymore).

I thought these men needed lots of good cheer in their cups!

The Merry Christmas is a piece of washi tape and of corse a ribbon

is used to decorate the file folder.

Inside the filefolder I made a card for writing your message.

Wishing you all a wonderful

crafty caffinated day!

 

Tag Book

Good Morning Crafty Friends!

Been some time since I post, but then again I have something for you. 

I made a tag book and that is for real 12 tags all together!

Nearly all the materials I have used to make this book are by:

Funky Fossil Designs: 

stamps, stencils, washi tape, papers, brushes and dies.

I started my project by cutting these colorful tags with a 

Bigz tag die by Sizzix/Tim Holtz.

Next I used washi tape on the front and the back

to tape two tags togeter. You find  the washi tape

HERE.

Some tags i decorated with the colorful kaleidoscope

paper that you find HERE.

Then I went ahea by using distress inks,

stencils and the Funky Fossil brushes.

This stencil is called Make Art.

and the brushes can be found HERE.

The stencil here is called Make Your Mark III.

Here you can see all the tags I made

and maybe you are inspired.

Here the back of the card.

This is the front of the book before

I bound it all together.

And now a little about how I bound

them together: The easiest way!

I stacked all the two by two tags

and sew them together with the colorful floss.

In the heart of the book I made a not.

I used some colored floss I found in my stash.

To bind all the pages together I have a long piece

of floss towards the outside and just wrap

it around the book and tie it with a not and a bow.

I added this ring to the front ribbon.

You find all the stamps and other

materials here:

Funky Fossil Designs.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting!

 

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 5

Welcome coffee loving crafty friends,

Another fun day at the

Coffee Lovers Blog.

Did you know there are a lot of sponsors

who give out wonderful freebies?

Today I made a card with the freebie by

Stamplorations.

I used the freebie calles:

Coffee Donut Row digital stamp.

You find it at nearly the bottom of

their blog post.

Here my card. I was inspired by something i noticed on 

Pinterest and looked perfect for this row of coffee cups.

It is a design paper circle in the background and 

dotted washi tape added to the the colored image 

The sentiment is one from my unknown stash and

now I had a perfect image to use it with.

Thank you for looking!

Stay safe, keep crafting and

enjoy your coffee.

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!
