Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Love & Stamps and Dies

Hey!

Welcome to the second day of introductions to Funky Fossil's January release.

There is so much loveliness in these stamps and dies that I got a bit creative and made this tower windmill card.

The gorgeous papers and washi are from Flowerful which will be part of tomorrow's introductions. 

The lacy ampersand is just awesome and the scripty font of the love is equally beautiful.

Just one more share for today,
again featuring one of the drop dead gorgeous papers from Flowerful.

I simply cut some of the hearts from one of the papers and then layered them up with some of the die cuts hearts.

Tomorrow is going to be a massive introduction of amazing gorgeousness - see you then!

Thanks for looking today. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Funky Fossil January Release - Introducing Spring In The Forest

 Today sees the first of the introductions to Funky Fossil's January release.

All the mild weather here in the UK has fooled my garden to thinking it might be Spring and lots of my bulbs are already poking through leaves. So today's introduction couldn't be more timely.

I've used a strip of wide washi tape - to be introduced on Monday - as grounding for the flower and tree stump images. The rabbit and bird have then been hand cut and raised on foam pads. 

My second card is in my favourite CAS style and perfect for any date, but I did have Valentine's Day in mind.

For my final share today I've paired up the stamps with a new die - to be introduced on Monday - and some bright Spring colours.

That's it for today. More love themed products to show you tomorrow. Hope to see you then.

Thanks so much for your time. Stay safe and keep crafting!

Time For Tea Designs - Jumping Wih Joy

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using the fabulous Jumping With Joy stamps and dies.

My card has a bit of an autumnal vibe and features the adorable mouse settling down for his winter snooze. I used one of the Circle of Love Nesting dies placed just off the edge to create the nest hole and added in some background colours.

I then stamped, coloured and die cut the mouse, leaf pile and extra leaves from Jumping With Joy. The sentiments are from the same set.

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

AAA Birthday Challenge #33 - Two Favourite Colours

Happy New Year everyone!

Time for a new re-vamped look for AAA Birthday and the first challenge of the year.

Well no surprises about one of my colours, but although initially I thought about adding pink to the purple I went with another favourite combo - purple + turquoise.

The stamp and die cut greeting are from Time For Tea Design and I used some washi from my stash too. in fact it was the spotty washi that reminded me of how much I like purple + turquoise.

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, Birthday Bear + matching dies

Die: T4TD, Big Birthday Wishes Sentiment

Inks: Memento, tuxedo black, grape jelly

Pens: Copic, V15, V17, B0000, B00, B02, B04; Sakura black & white glaze

Washi: from my stash

As both AAA Birthday and AAA Cards have had a new look for 2022 there is a bit of a combined micro hop going on with a couple of prizes to be won. Check it all out, along with the rest of the AAA Birthday DT and Guest Designer Francesca's cards HERE.

Huge thanks for dropping by my blog today. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Time For Tea Designs - New Year Greetings

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I made using some of the T4TD dies and the adorable new Stinkin' Cute stamp and die set.

I started by cutting the 2022 using the Count Me In Large Number dies from silver sparkle card. I then cut a matching frame using the Wide Stitched Frame die set.

I chose a dark blue pearlised card for the background and cut the swirls using the Snow Flurry Cover die. I then matted it all up onto a piece of holographic paper.

And that's where I originally planned to stop. But I just couldn't resist adding one of the T4TD critters. I chose the skunk leaning on a log from Stinkin' Cute popped up on foam pads and added a greeting from the same set. I also die cut some of the tiny hearts from Stinkin' Cute to add even more light catching sparkle.

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

Time For Tea Design - Stop Dachshund Around

Hello!

Today I'm sharing a card I created using the T4TD Stop Dachshund Around stamp and die set, the Snow Flurry Cover and Wide Stitched Frame dies from the November release.

I started by inking up a piece of card with three distress oxide colours and then used the Snow Flurry Cover die to create some texture and pattern.

I framed the background in white using one of the Wide Stitched Frame dies. I then had fun stamping, colouring and die cutting the images from Stop Dachshund Around, Dog Gone Mutts and Elephantastic. The 'see you soon' sentiment is from Car Critters.

I finished off my dachshund by adding a wavy pattern to his jumper using a white gel pen.

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