Forgotten Funkies - Summer Wedding

The last Friday of a month sees the Funky Hand Design Team showcase a Funky Hand product and this month it is the seasonal Summer Wedding download. It's full of lovely papers in muted citrus colours - just perfect for Summer Weddings! You can buy the alphas on their own or if you prefer, just the papers, or if you want both, you can buy them both in one combined download for just £2.99!

I've made a simple template for the bunting - one slightly larger than the other and used three of the papers, printed onto linen effect white card. I've added a faux stitch with a fineliner black pen and then layered up the bunting with foam pads - the larger ones underneath.

The bakers twine (you get loads for £2.49 - 20 metres!) and the sentiment is from the Our Betty - Your Special Day clear stamp set.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Creative Moments: Anything Goes and Use Twine
Digi Stamps 4 Joy: Girly
Rhedd and Rosie's Challenge: Nothing Floral

Summer Wedding Scraps!

I am not one to throw away any scraps of printed card because I just don't know when I'll need it!  And this bottle is made with such scraps!

I've used an offcut of cardstock for the base which is an X Cut fancy die and then I've used papers from the very fab and versatile Summer Wedding download.  The paper download itself is only £1.99 which is very good value for money! 

I've added some letters from my Girls Are Weird Sizzix alphabet dies and the hearts are also Sizzix die cuts.

The tiny little dots have been added with liquid pearls after the edges were inked with my trusty and faded blank ink pad.  And to finish, I've tied a length of satin ribbon around the main panel.

What you can't see in the photo is the back of the bottle tag which I've cut a circle where the bottle sticks through.

Get Funky And Craft - Paper Weaving

Hope you've had a lovely weekend - the weather has been fantastic and lets hope it lasts!  I've got a quick card to show you, all made with papers from the Summer Wedding download - and the download is only £1.99!

To make the weaving, I used some offcuts of thin card, inked the edges with some black ink - worked out the width of each strip and then started weaving!

The flowers are also made with the papers - for the larger flowers I've added a smaller one inside and then glued seed beads to the centre.  A bit of faux stitching around the main panel and the card is complete!

It was quite a quick card to make, or it would have been if the glue had dried quicker on the flowers!

Mr and Mrs!

Just in case you've missed noticing that Anice at Funky Hand has released four (yes, FOUR!) new downloads, here is one I made earlier using the Summer Wedding download:

I've also used my trusty Sizzix Original die machine along with the Sizzix body, dress and Girls Are Weird alphabet.  The tiara is a Quickutz die and I made the top hat and tie myself.  A bit of stickles on the letters plus liquid pearls here and there and the card is complete!

There are 4 collections in a Wedding theme - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and although they are Wedding themed, they can be used for any occasion as not all the patterns are loved up!  And what is great about the collections are that you can buy them either as one seasonal kit or split down, so if you just want the papers, you don't have to buy everything else!

Simply Circles in 15 Minutes!

I've taken some inspiration from Sammylou's Get Funky post a few weeks ago and I've also used Kathy's sketch to create my card!  Plus I also set myself a challenge of creating a card in under 15 minutes!

I've used papers from the soon to be released Summer Wedding download and cut different shaped circles with my Nesties.  I've inked the edges with blank ink and added a dotted line around the edges with a black fineliner pen.

I found a scoreboard that I got free with a magazine some time ago (I was actually looking for something else and came across it!) and used it to make the embossed lines around the edges of the card.

Ribbon is a generous donation from my cousin Claire - left overs from when she made her Wedding Stationery last year and the pearls are from my stash.

Rather surprised myself that I managed it in the 15 minutes as I never make cards that quick usually!  Try the time challenge yourself and link up your creation with the blue frog on the Get Funky blog!
