Spooky Purple!!

A great sketch from Card Patterns this week:



Although I've flipped the semi circles - not intentional, I just glued them wrong and didn't realise until it was too late!


All the coloured papers are from the new Funky Hand download - Spooky Dookie which was released over the weekend. A great set of papers including alphas and a topper page which proves that Halloween papers are not just for one night of the year, but can be used for all year around!


I've used black card from my stash for the layering and the spooky ghosties are Sizzix die cuts which I've inked a little and added wobbly eyes.

• Black card: My stash
• Dies: Sizzix ghosts

Get Funky! Challenge 3 - Halloween

It's the first of October so it means another Get Funky! Challenge! Thank you to all who entered my Two Little Boys Challenge in September - there were some great entries! To find out who I picked as the winner go to Get Funky!


This month it is Allison's turn to set the challenge and she loves Halloween, so the theme this month is:

Halloween

Rules are simple - simply use one Funky Hand product on your creation to be in with a chance of winning a very generous £20 gift voucher to spend on Funky Hand products! You have the whole of October to enter!

The Design Team have made some wonderfully spooky creations - pop over to Get Funky to have a look!


For my sample, I've made a gift box. The template was a free download from Papercraft Inspirations (this is the small box and it prints out over two sheets of A4). I've used papers from It's Funky Too - and I've printed a different pattern on both sides.


The outside of the box has been decorated with various die cuts - Sizzix ghosts, Round-a-Bout alphabet set and a Sizzlit tombstone. Edges have been inked in either silver or black ink for a bit more spookiness.

I've attached the ghosts to the box with strips of acetate so they jump out!

The ribbon is from my stash and just the perfect shade of orange too! The little black bats are confetti, and I'm sure I bought it from the pound shop a few years ago. Or probably Tescos in the post Halloween sale!

And inside the box -

I've filled it with spooky pumpkins and ghoulish eyes - a net of each £1 from, yes, the pound shop!! They make the box quite heavy, so I think I'm going to have to eat a few.....!!
