Using Scraps

I really don't like to throw anything away and have various boxes to keep all my scraps in. However sometimes these boxes become rather unruly and I make it a priority to use something from them! For this card  I used offcuts of card stock for the base - its the long thin strip cut from a sheet of A4 from making a 13.5cm square card - and the embossed panel is a piece of scrap as well as the die cut words.

All the papers are from V Funky - Cottage Linens and I've used my trusty Spellbinders for the circles (long gone are the days when I used to use a compass and hand cut them!) plus some card candy.

Hello.....

Its Lou in today to share another make for V Funky month using the V Funky original CD ROM. 

Todays card just had to be a mom make with the 'Desert Dreams' colourway,it just got that mix of blues and greens that are so much fun to use and a super little 'hello' topper from the extras section just finished this card off gorgeously.

There are 15 stunning colourways to choose from on this CD, fabulous for all occasions and extras such a toppers,I used the 'hello' topper for this one and popped out on some foam for some depth in my card.

Smile and Be Happy!

Hello to you all, it's Sammylou here with a card made using the V Funky cd-rom.

I have used the Emerald View collection to make a card that's perfect for sending when you don't really have an occasion but want to send a card, just because!

The collection comes with ready made toppers so once you've printed the papers you want and cut out the topper, you are all ready to go! Finish with a few punched flowers and you're done,

I love making cards like this and the collections on the cd-rom make it really simple to make some lovely cards, and the variety on the cd-rom, which is only £1.00 at the moment means you can make a multitude of cards without any duplication.

See you all soon for another share, Sammylou xxx

Spring Moments Gift Jar and Banner Card

And now for something a little bit different!  I've had this plastic jar a while and knew it would come in useful at some point!  I've used papers from V Funky - Spring Moments and made a removable cover for the front, a flower tag for the top of the jar and also a banner thank you card.

My eldest son has written the gift tag and I've attached it to the top of the jar with a funky flower and ribbon.  I've also added glass 'confetti' to the flowers on the pattern.

The banner has been made with left over scraps of card and I've used letters from a word book as templates, threaded ribbon through the tops and used glossy accents as glue to the reverse to stop the ribbon from moving.

Citrus Blues

Sometimes the simple ideas are the most striking!  I do enjoy using my X Cut stars dies and here I've combined them with the Citrus Blues collection from V Funky.  A really great CD and only £1!!

Oh, and plenty of foam pads!

Blue For Boys - Dad

Following on from my previous post, I've used the same paper collection on V Funky - Blue For Boys and used the Dad topper this time.  Again, overlaid it with a slightly smaller version (happy accident!) and did a bit of paper distressing!

Teacher Thanks ...

All Occasions - Very Funky

Morning

Sammylou here with a quick make from the All Occasions folder which is included on the V. Funky cd-rom.

Using the Best Teacher topper and co-ordinating papers, I have created a quick thank you for a teacher. I printed off a matching red paper from one of the other collections on the disc and cut out an apple shape, then paper-pieced a leaf. Mat and layer the papers, then pop the home-made topper on and the card is done!

An incredibly quick card to make but still so lovely.

I will see you all soon and don't forget that the cd-rom is available on the Funky Hand website for just £1.00, you'd be mad not to buy it at such a great price!

Blue For Boys - Mum

Another set of great papers from the V Funky cd!  I've used the Blue For Boys collection - and printed two sheets A5 size (the top and bottom bands are snipped in half) and then used two of the ATC sheets.

I originally printed the Mum tile direct from the cd and then printed it for a second time via the 'open' option on the cd rather than the 'run' option.  I didn't realise until I was about to layer then up that the second print was slightly smaller than the first.  However, it looks fine!  Everything else is from my stash.

Watch out for more goodness from V Funky this month!
