Guest Designer for Funky Fossil Designs



Hello my crafty friends!

This month I am a guest designer for
At the end of this week there are 5 new 
stamp sets and trough the coming week
you will see what sets they are.

Today the first set is "Let's Party" designed by Donna Grey
for Funky Fossil Designs.

As this month is the celebration of 
2 years of Funky Fossil Designs, you will receive
the Happy Birthday stencil with every order you place.
I love to share with you how versetile this stencil is.


Here I used the stencil as a background and
a bunny from the soon to be released Let´s Party stampset
added on top with a piece of foam tape.


Here a variation with the happybirthday stencil ad background
iun various colors. For this card I used the cat from the set
and a paw embossing folder for the kraft colored strip.

There will also be a die added to all the items in the shop.
A metal Happy Birthday die with a tiny heart in the middle
of the sentiment. The number six I added (before I knew of
the 2nd year celebration) thinking of the 6th birthday of my
grandsons.

For the background of this card I used the  Musings
stampset. The numbers do not give a special birthday,
but you can highligt any number you want.

Here you see the wonderful Let's PArty stampset.
The images i colored with my zig markers.


The metal cutting die for the Happy Birthday sentiment.

I created a special envelop with this birthday card.

other sets too) all sets are available to order
and you receive the wonderful birthday stencil free.

Thank you for looking and
see you again tomorrow

but what will the future bring?

Christmas decorations with Funky Fossil Designs

Hello Crafty Friends!
I have been creating a few Christmas decorations for 
a friend and my grandchildren.
I found these wonderful wooden stars in the
Action shop here in The Netherlands. I got the
idea right away to decorate them with some stamped images.
The first one is for my friend Donna, who is the designer
of the Hogs and Kisses stampset that you find on the site of

The second one is for my eldest grandson Owen.
For this snowflake I used the  stampset
Space Cadet. The numbers are cut out of
gold oaoer with number dies from my stash,

And the last one is for the twins Colin and Aiden.
Two little piggies on one star. Besides the Hoggs And Kisses
stamps set, I used a Tim Holtz Santa hat and stars and
holly from the Christmas Characters set.
On the snowflake I added lots of tiny sticky gemstones.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas
and stay safe, thanks for looking
and keep crafting!

the Starry Circle stencil and
the Christmas Caracters stamp set.

I started out with the Starry Circle stencil and 
Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog Guest Designer


Good Morning coffee loving crafty friends!

I am on the 
again with more coffee cards.
These cards are made with 
Club Scrap papers, stamps and stecils.
Also I used a wonderful formula for Z-fold card shown by
Tricia (owner of Club Scrap) and you have 6 cards in a jiffy.

So the above 2 cards you find on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog,
the next two cards you find on the Club Scrap Blog
and here are two more cards for my own blog:

I absolutely love making these z-folds cards!

This card sums up my adiction!
The papers are all from the Club Scrap Coffeehouse set
and I also used the matching Coffeehouse stamps.

The coffee cup to go is made with a bigz sizzix die by Tim Holtz.

Here you see the card folded open and you see that I also used
some stencils. Unfortunately these stencils are not
available anymore.

The coffee cup behind the word coffee is the oldest
stencil from the Mocha Java set, that made me hooked
to making coffee cards!

The 2nd card uses stamps and stickers, that came with the Coffeehouse
kit and they combine perfectly. Cups and percolator are stamps.

The beans , coffee rings and sentiment are stickers.

The stamps are embossed in copper and a little
coloring with gathering twigs distress ink.

Thank you very much for looking,
stay safe and 
keep crafting!
