Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Day 7 1/2 Funky Fossil

Hello!  Welcome to the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  It's Day 7 I have a couple posts today and here I'm sharing with you some Funky Fossil Designs Inspiration!  Funky Fossil Designs is one of the many sponsors offering up awesome prizes for linking up to the hop!  

To play along, you just need to create something with a coffee, tea, or cocoa theme and link it up for your chance(s) to win!  (Yup! You can link up multiple new creations for multiple chances!).  For all of the rules and to check out who the sponsors are, link up or just start hopping, check out the main hop post here up on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog!  And for even more fun, if you're not already a member, join us over in the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Group on Facebook here where we share caffeinated inspiration all year long!  (Be sure to answer all of the questions to get added right away!

Here's how I was inspired:

I am in love with the pups on the Pugs and Hugs stamp set!!  And I love love that one of them is a pup in a cup!

With all of the wonderful details these little guys are so easy to color up!

And for my background I blended some Distress Oxides on and then used the Words of Friendship stencil I got for free in April to apply some beautiful Iridescent Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel!  (I got mine in the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop!)  I think it made the perfect soft backdrop for a card to send to just about anyone!  Look at that wonderful sparkle!!

I just added a few sequins and I was done!

Thanks so much for stopping by again today!  Come back again tomorrow because I'll have some more coffee goodness for you before the end of the hop (you have until tomorrow night, Friday, May 29th, to link up!)

You're Owlsome! - Funky Fossil Designs!

Popping in quick to share this one using some new stuff I recently got over at Funky Fossil Designs!

Well, of course I had to get the Quirky Owls Stamp Set!  Did you ever doubt I would?  If you love artist Kimma Parish's designs, you should definitely check out the offerings over at Funky Fossil!  And of course this one with the glasses is my favorite...lol!

And while you're in the shop check out all of the awesome stencils!  And for the month of April (you still have a couple days left!) you can receive this Words of Friendship stencil free with any order!  I created this background using Kraft paper and some Wendy Vecchi Gold Embossing Paste while making all of my Christmas card backgrounds last week!  I used the cute frame die from A Jillian Vance Design to highlight the "You" word in the stencil.  (I love that the Instant Photo Frame set comes with a larger and this mini sized photo frame as well as a couple other dies including speech bubbles! And of course I scattered some of my favorite sequins from Trinity Stamps!

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by and do be sure to check out the Funky Fossil Shop!  This shop is in the UK and I am in the US... I ordered these items sometime after lockdowns started happening and waited patiently for this oh so Happy Mail to arrive in my mailbox.  It really didn't take that long and it was SO worth it.  If you've never ordered before you should give them a try!

And as always in these difficult times, please be patient with and support our friends that are running their small businesses through it all!

Come again soon!
