Phunny Face


Hej!

Idag skulle vi vilja presentera Phunnyface!
Ett stämpelföretag som designar ursöta stämplar för olika ändamål!
Vi har fått äran att jobba med några av deras stämplar och det har varit en sann ära för oss :)

Innan vi visar våra inspirationskort med stämplar från Phunnyface, 
vill skaparen av dessa fina stämplar säga några väl valda ord;


"Jag heter Anita Oloo-Toddo och bor i Göteborg med sambo Fredrik och vår dotter Maya.

Jag har tecknat och målat i hela mitt liv och fick en dag frågan av en väninna som hade startat ett scrapbookingföretag om jag kunde designa motiv för henne då hon ville ha egna stämplar i butiken.

Av privata själ lade hon ner sin verksamhet men jag såg möjligheterna till att få utlopp för mitt skapande i scrapbookingens fantastiska värld och startade Phunnyface med min sambo Fredrik som sköter det administrativa.

Att se andra skapa med mina motiv ger en stor tillfredställning och glädje.

Phunnyface vill inte följa strömmen med att skapa det som är populärt för stunden och ta efter andra. Jag tecknar det som faller mig in och försöker tänka nytt. Att teckna motivstämplar är det roligaste som finns, för möjligheterna är oändliga och jag har massor av idéer som bara väntar på att få komma ner på papper för att sedan gå till tryck och bli clearstamps.

Vi har valt just clearstamps för sin enkelhet i användning och att photopolymer idag har utvecklat en kvalité som är långt mycket bättre än det en gång var.

Då det bara är jag som designar våra motiv och då jag är väldigt noggrann med motivens utseende så är vårt motto kvalité före kvantitet!

Vi firar ett år nu i Juni 2011 och har släppt 100 st olika motiv och det kan vara en bra måttstock för hur många stämplar vi kommer att släppa i framtiden."





Hello!

Today we would like to introduce you to Phunnyface! 
A stampcompany that designs adorable stamps for different purposes! 
We have been honored to work with some of their stamps and it has been a true honor for us :) 

Before showing our inspirational cards with stamps from Phunnyface,
the creator of these fine stamps want to say a few well-chosen words;


"My name is Anita Oloo-Toddo and lives in Gothenburg with my partner Fredrik and our daughter Maya.

I have been drawing and painting all my life and one day I got aquestion from a friend who had started a scrapbooking business if I could design motifs for her, because she wanted to have their own stamps in the store.

Of personal reasons she ended her business but I saw the opportunity to have an outlet for my creativity in this wonderful world of scrapbooking and started Phunnyface with my partner Fredrik who runs the admin.

To see others create with my motifs provide a great satisfaction and gladness.

Phunnyface do not want to follow the stream to create what is popular at the moment and follow others. I draw what comes to mind and try to think in new ways. To draw motifstamps are the most funniest thing, because the possibilities are endless and I have lots of ideas just waiting to get down on paper and then go to the press and become clearstamps.

We have chosen clearstamps for it´s simplicity in use and the photopolymer in now days have developed a quality that is far much better than it once was.

Because it´s just me who design our stamps and I'm very careful with the motifs appearance, our motto has become; quality before quantity!

We celebrate a year, now in June 2011 and has released 100 different motifes and it can be a good measure of how many stamps we will be releasing in the future."


Och här kommer våra inspirationskort;

And here are our inspirationscards;
