Happy Easter

I hope Mr Bunny has been and brought you lots of chocolate :)

I'm sorry I don't have an Easter card for you but I only ever make them to order as I only sell a couple! I do have another wedding card though using more Funky Hand goodies (have you seen their wonderful sale yet? You can get to the web site by either clicking here or clicking on the Our Betty button on my side bar.)

The image again is from the Wishes & Kisses cd (which has been reduced from £15.99 to £8.00 in the sale) to which I have just added some tiny crystal hearts (which I think might be made by Docrafts), and the papers are a sneaky peek of a new download in the making (oops!) lol, flowers are old Prima ones with gold crystal centres.

Thanks for dropping by, back soon. xx

Funky Friday

Well that's another Funky Friday almost gone.....can you really believe that it is April on Monday?!?

I've been filling up hubbies box of wedding cards and thought I would do a couple for my box (which was a good job actually as I sold one yesterday afternoon) and have still been on my paper using mission :) Although I have been crafty a couple of times as I've wanted a particular paper, I've printed it off at A5 using Windows Photo Gallery and it just reduces the size of the pattern as well as the paper.

My first card is my take on a Choccywoccydoodah cake lol I think it's more of their colour schemes than their wacky cakes!

 I have used the Flower Cake image, paper from the Just For Jen download both from Funky Hand and everything else from my stash.

Another wedding card using the Just For Jen papers from my off cut box, a beautiful piece of white cotton lace and this time the image is one of the pre-coloured images from the Wishes and Kisses cd. 

I hope you like them and thanks for dropping by :)

Funky Friday

Woo hoo, get me.....a Funky (Hand) Friday post on a Friday AND in the morning lol  (it was actually morning when I started writing this post but I got sidetracked and it's now afternoon!

This card has a little gift pocket on the front of it which is great to pop either cash or vouchers in. I thought we would add a bit of zing to the card instead of  sticking to muted colours. Again, the papers are left over from previous projects. Papers used are from the Daisy Day download and Moving Home from the Wishes & Kisses cd, 

I must go now as I'm in the middle of an order for 108 evening invitations.

Have a lovely weekend and I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow :)

Thanks for dropping by. xx

Assorted celebrations

 I'm in wedding stationery mode at the moment so I just manage to slip in the occasional card order when just a couple are needed and I've been stock piling the photos of them so I've decided to start adding them on days when I don't have DT cards to show. I will have wedding stationery to show later in the week though, once it's been delivered. :)

 Papers are Hey There Baby - Wishes and Kisses cd and Just Happy - Dreams Come True cd, an assortment of Martha Steward punches, Prima flowers ans sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkadoo.

 I don't know where these papers are from as they are out of my oddment box (ahem, drawer(s)!) The image is by Pink Petticoat and has been coloured with chalks, I think and the flowers are Papermania and Prima.......as they are combined could they be Primamania :)

My last card is using a clear stamp coloured with Promarkers. I think the stamp is a Magnolia one but I'm not sure.

Thanks for dropping by again.
Take care 

Funky Friday

Firstly I need to apologise for my Kanban post, it was written out ready to post and I forgot to click on the "publish" button. I've just checked in to write my Funky Friday post, albeit late and my Kanban post was sat waiting for me!!!
Also, the update on the chimney saga. It turned out, according to the insurance assessor, that it didn't belong to us but next door :) However, it was recommended that because it isn't in use any more, that it was taken down a few courses, which was done yesterday.
So onto my Funky Friday card and I'm still using the papers from the new collection on the Funky Hand web site, Just For Jen. They are so versatile and I just love 'em! :)

 All the papers on this card are from the Just For Jen collection. The sentiment stamp, stamped onto a price tag, is from the Stepping Out collection by Clearly Besotted.

New cake image is the Star Cake digi stamp from Funky Hand (coloured with Promarkers), Papers used are Hey Baby Boy- Wishes & Kisses, Jingle Bells from Twelve Crafters Crafting,  the Funky Freebie from April 2012, silver mirri card and finally Card Candi in blue.

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend :)

Funky Friday

Good morning from a lovely sunny Scruff's Corner this morning. The orders are going well but I haven't even started on my own cards yet (I have got a couple of prezzies though ;))

I made my box last week for my friend's daughter's birthday. I really enjoy making these!

 

 

 

 

Materials used are as follows:-

Papers (All available on cd from Funky Hand) 

Just Happy - Dreams Come True 

New Job Bliss - Wishes and Kisses

Hey There Baby - Wishes and Kisses

Purple glitter card

Small doily

Coordinating brads

I was lucky enough to receive one of these a few years ago but unfortunately it got broken when I was moving from the shop. Mine was full of chocolates that my friend had bought on a trip to Brugge and they were yummy :) Sorry I didn't put Belgian chocs in yours Amy...but I did put in some Quality Street (other chocs are available ;)), a pair of baby socks as she is expecting the patter of tiny feet next year and a bookmark with a 30 charm on the end, and yes, it was her 30th birthday.

Back soon, thanks for calling and leaving your comments, they are much appreciated. 

Funky Friday

Sorry I'm late with this post, at least it's on the right day this week lol, but the explanation is on the post below.
So onto my card, what a nightmare it was to get a decent photo of this card. As there is quite a bit of silver mirri card showing the light just kept reflecting off it. Also, I had a bright pink top on and it kept reflecting in the photo. If you look carefully next to the right hand glass you can still see me lol

So what did I use to make my card?

Papers - Hey Baby Girl (Wishes & Kisses cd)
Yellow gingham - Wishes & Kisses cd
Spotty paper - Rainbow Polka Dots (download)
Glasses - Happy Happy Birthday cd
Bunting - Happy Happy Birthday cd
Silver mirri card
Pink satin ribbon
Clear gems
Glossy Accents (on cocktail glasses)

All of the cds and downloads are available from Funky Hand.

Tomorrow is the launch of the new Get Funky challenge and it's a really good one (you'll like it Beryl :)) so please call over and take a look.

Back tomorrow, tfl.

Funky Friday

When we were in Zakynthos last week we all said that we felt as though we had been over there for months....we've been a few times and are getting to know a few of the locals now, now I feel as though we haven't been away at all, even my poor baby thinks the same and she is only 18!!!

So yes, as it's Friday already I have a couple of Funky cards for you.

 The papers used for this card are from the Wishes and Kisses cd as is the pre-coloured image, the ribbon is available on the web site too. The only extras on this card are a few s/a crystals at the bottom of the white panel.

For this card I used papers from the brand new, just released Daisy Day on the Funky Hand web site. I just added some gems (in the middle of the flowers) and a piece of ribbon.

Thanks for dropping by :) x

Funky Friday

Wishes and kissed cd is available from Funky Hand. Don't forget that the  Get Funky challenge is still ongoing, we would love you to take part and congratulations to Beryl for winning the download in my Numbers challenge last month.

Funky Friday

I'm playing a little bit of catch up now having just spent a wonderful relaxing week in Cornwall (although it seems a long time ago) and we just got back last night. We were very lucky with the weather. We only had one really sunny day but we only had the rain overnight on Friday so we managed to get out and about every day, except for Monday when I stayed in to catch up with my accounts (sad or what!) This was last years accounts though so you can see why I had to get them done lol.


Anyway, on with my Funky Friday card.

The papers, Hey There Baby and Hey Baby Girl, and the images which are both digistamps on the cd, are all taken from the new Funky Hand cd, Wishes and Kisses and I just added a little bow to the hot water bottle and some pink pearls to the corners.


Don't forget that the Get Funky! challenge finishes today and the new one starts on Sunday with me as the host for July. I look forward to having you join in with us.


Thanks for looking.

Funky Friday

Still backwards scheduling :) This time it's a bunch of wedding cards I made for hubby to take to work as he had run out. I know I say it after every cd release but I absolutely love this one and projects can be made so quickly if you need anything last minute as you can make a complete topper on screen and just print it off. Of course if you like matting and layering pretty papers then it's right up your street too :)


I have added an album to my Party Nights Creations Facebook page where all my Funky Hand work will be posted, I'd love it if you could take time to have a look and if you like what you see then please like my page, thank you.

I paper pieced this card by printing the image onto patterned paper as well as white card.

Just how cute are they? I printed off the pre coloured images from the cd but all the papers were left over from previous projects so I'm going to do something that I haven't done for absolutely ages and that is add them to a couple of challenges, especially Di's Crafty Snippets.


The cd can be purchased from the Funky Hand. If you go to the Wishes and Kisses page and scroll down you will see a quick video by Ian which runs you through it quickly so you can see a bit more before you buy. Also, if you take a look just below the video (and this applies to all the cds and downloads) there is a small gallery showing some samples of work by Anice and the Design Team. There is also lots of inspiration and a monthly challenge on the Get Funky! blog. 


There is a new download to be released very very soon and as always it is really funky! It's my turn to set the challenge for July and I will be using it for my project but I'm sure it will have a public airing way before that. Keep and eye out for the "Daisy Day" download.


Wishing you lots of crafty playing and if you join in with our challenge then please don't forget to add your name to Mr Linky at the bottom of the post.


Thanks for looking.

Happy Friday everyone. It's wet and miserable here in Scruff's Corner but we won't let that dampen our spirits as we are preparing for a big wedding tomorrow. We have tables to organise, sweetie bowls to fill up and cupcakes to sort before an early start tomorrow so need to crack on :)


Just in case you haven't noticed from my previous posts, Anice at Funky Hand has released a brand new cd called Wishes and Kisses, (have you got your copy yet?) last week was spent making samples ready for the Create and Craft launch next week so I have plenty to show you over the coming days :)


So, sample number 1, a very small accordion book in a box which I made using the You've Retired section and some of the pre coloured digi stamps off the cd.

I hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Finished

I have now finished all my samples for this week. I sort of got carried away with this wonderful new cd, Wishes and Kisses and have had to rein myself in. I made seven projects for Anice but have a fair few papers and images printed off too so there will be more makes to come :) 

Papers are from the 'You've Retired' section of the cd and the image is printed from the cd too. The knitting is done by my fair hands with wool from my knitting bag and there we have a really quick card.


Thanks for looking and I hope you are having a fabulous long bank holiday.

Wedding card

Just a quickie today as I am up to my eyes in it. I did, however remember at the last minute that hubby needed a wedding card for the wedding this evening and as I'm still working on my Create and Craft samples for the new Funky Hand cd..Wishes & Kisses so what better thing to use as I have sheets of printed paper in front of me :)

Papers are from the You're Retired section of the cd, the image is a digi images to which I added the sentiment in the Workdesk section of the cd and the flower is made from the Hey Baby Girl and template section, all in all a good sample me thinks as I've used most of the available sections.


Thanks for looking and happy crafting.

Funky Friday

As I mentioned in the post above (you're not seeing things, I managed to change the date so it stayed at the top!) The design team received our Wishes and Kisses cd during last week and it is fabulous. Anice has got some really gorgeous papers into the collections. I use my other Funky Hand cds quite a bit and this one will definitely get used too :)


I'm still working on my samples for the Create and Craft show on 15th June but got a request earlier this week for 7 sympathy cards so I decided to use the new cd for this one. You will all appreciate just how difficult it is to make 7 cards of the same subject for any one person, especially when they are all being sent to the same person!

I used a digi stamp and sentiment from the cd and one of the papers from the In Sympathy section. A piece of black card and black ribbon and I had a card in minutes!


The cd is set out in categories we all use whilst making cards.....baby boy, girl and neutral congratulations, thanks, you're engaged, wedding, new home, new job, get well soon, you've retired, anniversary and sympathy. There are also images, word books and sentiments, in fact there are over 17000 elements on the cd plus thousands more combinations to be used. As always with Anice's cds they are really versatile and she gives us the most amazing papers to choose from.


The cd is available now and can be purchased from Funky Hand and at £15.99 with FREE p & p it's a steal :)


There is also still time to join in with the Get Funky! challenge which this month is Spots & Flowers and is being hosted by Ruth. It will give you a chance to use your new cd ;)


Happy crafting.
