Get Funky - Anything Goes (with a Funky Hand Product)

It's my turn to provide some inspiration for this months challenge:

Anything Goes with Funky Hand Products

Please remember that you can make ANYTHING you like as long as you've used a Funky Hand product within your creation.  If you've not got anything, then you can snag the freebie that Anice offers each month which fits in with the challenge theme.

The winner gets to choose a Funky Hand download!

I've made something a little different!  I've used papers from Wishes and Kisses and printed them directly onto some photo transfer paper, cut them up using a Union Jack Template and created this:

It's a double sided canvas bag with a Funky Union Jack design!  The size of the Union Jack is A5 so I printed 3 different patterned papers onto the T-shirt Transfer Paper from Photo Paper Direct, cut them down to A5 and then used a Union Jack template (google is good!) to cut them out (I layered the three sheets together and took my time!)

I laid out the three papers and swopped elements over - the third one I made as a bag for myself!  A hot iron and a flat surface - worktop - and it was finished fairly quickly!  I bought the canvas bags from ebay.

Good luck with the challenge - and don't forget to use a FUNKY HAND PRODUCT!

Simply Create Too - Challenge 17 - Summer / Vacation

This is my second post for today, but watch out - there is another one to come yet!  It's a new Simply Create Too challenge and the theme for this fortnight is:

Summer / Vacation

I just could not resist using this image by Gordon Fraser which I bought from CUP - its decoupaged so it looks even better in real life!  It's a shame that the weather here in the UK is so dreadful at the moment - we are experiencing torrential rain with localised flooding.  Luckily we live on the top of a hill and school is also on a hill - just the bit to get from one to another is close to a stream and keeps flooding... Not that I do the school run - I'm nice and cosy in my dry office at work!

I've used a now retired freebie paper from Funky Hand for the cloud backround and then added the sand element with some Bazill basics torn paper.

Good luck with the challenge!

Simply Create Too Challenge 16 MIDWAY EXTRA - Country Where You Live

It's time for the Midway Extra on Simply Create Too and here is my offering for the theme:

Country Where You Live

I made this for a work colleague as one of her close friends was going to live in Germany and she wanted something themed as the 'Best Of British', and so it is!

All the little Union Jacks swing out on red brads except the two at the bottom with the sentiment on.  They've also been laminated to give them extra strength.

There is Winston Churchill, a Wish You Were here button badge, The Archers, Tomato Ketchup, a map, Marks and Spencers logo and Wallace and Gromit.

For more details on the challenge, pop over to the blog!  And good luck!  And we have a Design Team call running at the moment too!

Keep Calm

Here is a quick card that I am rather pleased with! I came across some free Portobello Road papers in a magazine and decided to use some of the A4 sheets.  I've distressed the edges with scissors and also added a running stitch around the card edge.

The topper is from Cardmarkers Delights and you can buy a set of 8 for only £1.49! I've layered it onto an offcut of the red gingham paper and some dark blue card I had in my stash.  The toppers are really good quality and are printed onto stiff white card and are totally blank on the reverse.

Simply Create Too Challenge 13 MIDWAY EXTRA - Mother Day / Female

Welcome to the Midway Extra point of the current Simply Create Challenge!  As a reminder, the theme is:

Mothers Day / Female

I've used another of the wonderful toppers from Cardmakers Delights.  It's been layered onto an offcut of base card and then onto offcuts (look carefully you will see the joins!) from Tea House papers from Dovecraft.

The main dark pink spotty paper is a free download from Papercraft Inspirations magazine plus I've also got my inspiration from the magazine for the layout.

Ribbon is again from my cousin Claire - I think there are 4 different widths of the pale green ribbon so don't be surprised if you see more of it in the future!  I've made the bunting from an offcut of card - the printed card has been layered onto stiffer card so it didn't bend and then I've added some fake brads with a black marker and glossy accents.

You've still got time to enter the challenge - for more details click here to go to the blog!  Good luck!
