Creative with Scraps

It's my turn again to post on the Funky Hand blog and for another few days you can snag this wonderful I Love You Sew download for just £1!  I've been creative with some scraps left over from previous projects and along with a black fineliner pen and some ribbon - it didn't take me long!

I used an X Cut die for the heart and a Nesties die for the aperture - the hearts have been added with a few foam pads for height.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Crafts 4 Eternity:  Circles
Left of Centre:  Use Your Dies
Sister Act Card Challenge:  Anything Goes

Hearts

Another love themed card using the I Love You Sew papers from Funky Hand - don't forget the download collection is only £1 during February!  I've attempted to use scraps for this card and got the inspiration from my set of X Cut dies as they were in the packet!

I've layered the hearts up with foam pads and inked the edges before doing so.  Kraft card blank from my stash along with the charm and embroidery thread.  The sentiment is a Studio G little alphabet stamp set.  A bit of faux stitching around the edge of the card and it's complete!

Get Funky and Craft - Good Luck!

It's my turn to show some inspiration over at Get Funky and Craft!  This is a quick card made using the I Love You Sew download papers.  And the best bit is, most of it was made using left over scraps from previous projects!

I've added some faux stitching of my own and carefully cut out some of the letters from the matching alphabet and then added some organza ribbon and embroidery thread to the side for a bit of detail.

And even though there is pink in the collection, the download would make some great male cards too - lots of zig zags!

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 51

It's Monday already and therefore time for a new Fetch A Sketch challenge!  The sketch is a nice simple one:

There is no sponsor for the challenge so its just for fun although there is a winners badge up for grabs!  I've used papers from the very versatile I Love You Sew download from Funky Hand - at the moment there is a 25% off sale at Funky Hand so be quick and grab a bargain whilst you can!

The hearts I've cut from the paper and then layered them.  And I've folded the paper across the centre and used staples to hold it in place hence the line of pearls!  A bit of faux stitching here and there and some inking and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge - for more details please visit Fetch A Sketch!

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 49

It's time for a new Fetch A Sketch challenge and here is the sketch for the fortnight:

We don't have a sponsor for the challenge so I was free to use what ever I wanted so I used the most recent Funky Hand download called I Love You Sew.  I've used two of the papers for the background and then the bunting is offcuts from previous projects that I've also layered.

I've added some doodling here and there and also inking and the embroidery thread is from my stash.  So a nice and simple sketch this fortnight but with plenty of room to add your own touch!  To find out more about the challenge, please visit Fetch A Sketch!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Crafts 4 Eternity:  3 or more Patterned Papers
Art Impressions Stamps:  Layer It Up

New Funky Hand Download - I Love You Sew!

Anice has released a brand new download over at Funky Hand and this collection is called I Love You Sew.  There are 22 papers plus an alphabet all for £3.19.  There are also some fab digi images too that have been released - perfect for those who love their cups of tea! 

I've made this retro dress card using some of the papers from the I Love You Sew download.  The skirt on the dress is three quarters of a circle cut from paper (I forgot to print on the reverse so coloured it with a Promarker!) and then folded.

I glued it over the body and then added some half pearls to hide the join.  I've added some inking and doodling around the edges of the other papers and finished off with a heart half pearl to the top corner.

This is a lovely download collection of papers which are really versatile - perfect for Birthdays or Anniversaries or Weddings!  If you need any more inspiration, just pop over to Funky Hand and have a look at the gallery - the Design Team have been busy!
