Funky Fossil November Release - Introducing Timeless & Peony Frame Die

Hello everyone!

It's the first day of introductions to Funky Fossil's November release.

I'm starting with the Timeless stamp set and I couldn't resist opening up these elegant doors to get a peep at what is behind.

My next card uses my favourite technique of ink blended blocks.

And my third share using this stamp set pairs it up with the Graffiti Wall stencil.

Next I'm moving on to the beautiful Peony Frame die.

I die cut the the single peony and matted it onto a piece of paper from Mixed Media Kaleidoscope - my favourite paper pad. 

My second card uses the single peony again and an all white design.

Well that's a wrap for today. Tomorrow there is another awesome stamp set from the talented Tina Ashton, so be sure to stop by and check it out.

Thanks for your time today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil - Suitcase MDF

Hey!

 I thought I'd give you a bit of preview of an awesome MDF package that is part of the November Funky Fossil new release

I decided on a Christmas theme and used the Merry & Bright papers paired up with Monochrome Magic papers to cover the box. I used a black sharpie pen round all the edges of the box pieces before adhering the papers.

I chose one of the Winter Chiccas for the front of the suitcase - also on The Craft Store tomorrow. The greeting is from Festive Phrases.

So that's the suitcase all done. Now what else comes with this package? Well there's this lovely MDF book cover set. I decorated it to match the suitcase and then added in some pages. My idea was that it would make a great little Christmas booklet to add all those essential Christmas lists. 

The front cover has a Winter Chicca head next to a Christmas Trees die cut and a greeting from Festive Phrases.

The inside cover has another Christmas Trees die cut and some holly from Festive Robins stamped, coloured and hand cut. 

I started the list booklet with Traditions - made on the computer - and added the mistletoe from Festive Robins and some enamel dots for the bullet points.

The next two pages are for gift and card lists. I used another of the Winter Chicca heads - thought she would like gifts - and a bauble from Festive Phrases.

Next are lists of favourite music and films. The A7 Face The Music and Affirmations - new tomorrow -  stamps created fab backgrounds. I added the robin and ivy from Festive Robins and the snowman and flakes from Christmas Characters into the mix.

Just the final page and inside back cover to sort now. Well it wouldn't be Christmas without food and I was thinking chocolate log with the stamps from Festive Robins. And you have to BELIEVE! It's from Festive Phrases and the beautiful die cut is Star Wreath.

But that's not everything that's included in this package. There are also ATC cards to be decorated. 

I kept with the same colours and theme using Merry & Bright and Monochrome Magic papers, washi and images from Naughty Or Nice.

And if you've ever wondered about what to put on the back of ATCs Funky Fossil now has the answer with this new A7 stamp.

And since my use of this package is Christmas themed I turned two of the ATC cards into gift tags.

I simply covered them in paper and added the adorable gnomes and bauble from Nordic Noel. The greetings are from Christmas Small Print and I added some enamel dots to finish off.

I kept the back simple, just paper and some adhesive letters.

Well that's quite a fun filled package don't you think?  

If you've ever thought MDF is not for you I urge you to think again. I have to say it's not usually my thing, but I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and gave it a try - it was just so much fun and I loved playing with it!

Thanks so much for looking today, I'm really pleased to have had your company. Gold stars to anyone who's read down to the bottom of this loooong post!

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Time For Tea Designs - Hello Summer Mini Album

Hello!

I have the sweetest little album to share with you today using lots of the memory keeping products from the T4TD October release. 

I used the Sweet Summer Journal cards and some plain yellow card to create the hinges and base pages for this album. Then I set to work adding photos and decorating!

I added some This & That stamps and Designer Washi to the heart journal card above.

The page below uses one of the journal cards with the camera from Sweet Summer Ephemera and Summer Haze Enamel Dots.  The LOVE stamp is from Be Kind, Be You and mixes in perfectly with the memory keeping products. 

This photo is from when I was dog sitting for my youngest son and as well as the Tall Alpha Stamps and Sweet Summer paper I used images from Dog Gone Mutts. Just love how easy it to combine previously released stamps into the mix. 

I couldn't resist adding a shaker page to go with this photo of one of my grandsons looking for the bubbles from the machine - the bubble colours always remind me of sequins.

I used the tag and LOL dies from Memory Keeping Essentials to create my shaker window and added some ephemera to decorate it.

I'm finishing off this post with another look at the completed album. The cover was decorated with paper from Sweet Summer, the heart die from Memory Keeping Essentials and the sunshine from the Sweet Summer Ephemera pack.

I hope you like my little album using the awesome products from the new release. If you'd like to purchase any items from T4TD you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.

Time For Tea Designs - Day In The Life

Hello!

I'm up on the Time For Tea Designs blog today with this Project Life scrapbook page.

I had so much fun playing with the new memory keeping supplies from the October release to create this Day in the Life Project Life style page.

I used the Tall Alpha stamps for each of my subtitles - love how funky they look!

Some of my pockets were filled with cards from Sweet Summer Journaling Cards and some I cut from the Sweet Summer Paper Pad. 

I also found the Memory Keeping Essential dies really useful - the hearts and labels are from them. The card below uses the Sweet Summer Ephemera and Enamel Dots.

I hope you like my scrapbook page using the awesome products from the new release. If you'd like to purchase any items from T4TD you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.
