Funky Friday

A get well card and another quick wedding card for hubby :)

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.

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.

Exploding box

I have had a run on these lately, three in the last couple of weeks and it must be about 12 months since I made the last one! I quite enjoy making the boxes as no two are the same as they are tailored to suit each individual. However, this one was ordered late on Tuesday afternoon for a birthday yesterday so it was a case of drop everything and get on with it. The lady came to collect it at about 8.45 yesterday morning and was so happy with it 'she could cry' lol

The papers are an assortment from the Papercraft Factory cds from Funky Hand. They are really. lovely and you don't have to just use the papers from one cd, they can be mixed and matched across all four cds.

Well that's all for now....it will soon be breakfast time!

Thanks for looking.

Monday

Well, I had another busy weekend. DH and I went to town on Sunday morning as I owed him a coat for his birthday which we managed to find then it was a quick dash home as I had work to do! I had a rush order come in at the end of last week which was one of my least favourites...orders of service for a funeral today! What makes the job even sadder than usual is that last month I was making wedding invitations for my cousin and the OoS were for the funeral of her fiance's mum.

So onto a brighter note, I spent all day making birthday cards for the card stand in the shop and these are what I've come up with so far.

 Papers - Pink Petticoat, mirror card and the image is from Cornish Heritage Farms and is coloured with Promarkers.

 Papers - Funky Hand and Cardcraft Plus, images - Pink Cat Studios, Promarkers

 

Papers and sentiment - Funky Hand, image - Papermania, Promarkers, small flower punches

 Image, papers and sentiment - Happy Happy Birthday cd from Funky Hand, tag brad, ribbon and peel off sentiment from my craft stash.

 Image, papers and sentiment - Happy Happy Birthday cd from Funky Hand, punched flowers from same papers, ribbon from my craft stash.

More Funky Hand papers and everything else from my craft box, Martha Stewart punch.

Thanks for looking.

A taste of things to come!

The Funky Hand DT each got a copy of the new cd, by Anice, which will be on sale on the Funky Hand web site on Saturday, and it is just fab. When I received my Craft The Year Away cd I didn't think it could be improved on but I was wrong, this one is just to die for!!

If you have any spare cash and feel the need to spoil yourself then look no further than these four cds. There is Dreams Come True, Colour Me Happy, Craft The Year Away and the new one Happy Happy Birthday. There are over 200 papers on the Birthday cd alone then you get digi stamps, templates, wordbooks and loads more!

I decided that I would use the cd to make my daughter's birthday cards as we are having a BBQ for her next week and this is what I came up with. The hardest part was cutting the stars out :)

Thanks for looking, take care.


PS there is still time to enter the Get Funky challenge and there is a freebie paper on the web site!
