Get Funky Challenge - Flying High

It's time for another Get Funky challenge and my turn to hopefully offer some inspiration! The theme has been set by Allison and it is:

Flying High

So anything that flies as long as you've used a Funky Hand product in your creation! Anice offers a freebie each month to fit the theme and you can find it here.

I've used the Funky Freebie for my background and I've printed it at A5 for a smaller pattern plus cut out random clouds and added them with foam pads. I've used a nestie for the background shape and then layered it with Funky Kraft Stash which also have been used to make the owl bodies.

I used a compass to make the circles for the bodies and then a roll of double sided tape for the bit I've taken from the top to make the ears. The left over bit was then used as a template to make the wings which have been cut from I Heart You papers (printed as 9 to a page of A4 for a smaller pattern).

The owls sit on a Marianne Creatables die (a recent purchase! But bought with Amazon vouchers I hasten to add!) A bit of faux stitching, some wobbly eyes and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge - deadline is 14 March so you have almost a whole month to get creating! And don't forget the Funky Hand product!

Simply Create Too Challenge 6 - Red Hot Midway Extra

It's the midway extra for the current Simply Create Too challenge - extra inspiration for you as we are at the halfway point in the challenge. To have a look at the other samples, pop over to the challenge blog!

The theme this fortnight is:

Red Hot

I made this card a while ago and gave it to Lisa Jane (to congratulate her on her engagement) when I met up with her last month. I've used papers from Funky Hand - the backing paper is from Funky Kraft Stash and the reds are from Love Love Love download.


I've used my Nesties for layering then up and inking the edges and I've added faux stitching around the edge of the card. Two pearl headed pins from my stash along with seed beads have been added and some button twine.

I've got two cards to show that I've made from the two downloads (I do have more but will blog those later in the week!)

This first card uses all papers from Steam Funk plus a very vintage March 1950 car magazine donated by my husband! I've used my own template for the dress and its only stuck down to the card with the bodice so its quite a sticky out card and tactile!

Sequins and pearls are from my stash.


And for this card, I've used Funky Kraft Stash for the base and teamed it with the Shabby Saturday download - cutting out the sentiment, flowers and using a Nesties die as a template to draw around. Plus some Card Candy and embroidery thread for detail.

Hope you agree that they are fab downloads and hope you can join in with our blog hop - you never know - you could be a winner!

Good luck!
