A blast from the past!!!



Hi everyone!!

Its Lou in for you today with a good old blast from the past share of makes I made with the awesome cd rom we are focusing on this month, the Now Thats Funky cd .

One of my absolute favourite parts of this cd are the sentiment toppers you can find in the extras part of each colourway, and I am not kidding when I say there's a topper for every occasion and they make such a difference to a simple little make with that awesome black and white colour combo they go with anything.

And here are a few piccies of more ways to use these awesome toppers !!!! I made some cute 4x4 cards using up some scraps of paper from my Dreams Come True papercraft factory .




 And this cute little back to school gift bag!! oooh I like this one, saw this tutorial on Splitcoast stampers last week and totally had to have a go!!!! The paper for this one  is from the pleased to see ya colourway of the Colour Me Happy papercraft factory.



I covered  a little memo book in matching paper and tied a little pencil to it to pop inside the bag!

Cute!!!!!



So there you go!! all the way from 2011 and still one of the best cd roms with sentiment circles on that I own, it never gets old and I use them so much!!

Thank you for popping
hugs Lou xx

Its June, Now That's Funky!

Hi everyone,

It's June and time to introduce a different Funky Hand original CD ROM that the Funky Hand Design Team members will be creating with this month:


This CD has some great papers and extras on.  My favourite things have to be the circular toppers and backers.  But, it's not for me to tell you what's good on my own CD is it!

I'll let you decide for yourself.  Here's video for you to get a good idea of what is included.

Oh and before I go remember that this CD and all the other Funky Hand CDs are available on the website for just £1.00 each.






Speak again soon

Boho Chic Juice Carton, by Kathy



Hi, it's Kathy today, and I've yet another box to show you! 

 I wanted to come up with something big enough to fit the "Established 1994" t-shirt I'd bought for the 21st birthday of one of my nephews. I also wanted to make something more interesting than a "flat" box so he wouldn't have a clue what could be inside! 
 Based on a milk carton style box, but in size more like a juice carton, this one stands 26cms high and the sides all measure about 10cms, so it's quite a chunky beast  





I've used "Boho Chic" designs from this month's showcase CD "V. Funky to make my Juice Carton Box. Believe it or not, the main carton only needed 2 sheets of printed card to make.  Each sheet of card makes 2 sides, and by
 choosing the horizontal striped design I made lining up the 2 pieces nice and easy (sneaky, eh?)


Materials and Tools
"Boho Chic" from the Funky Hand  CD "V. Funky
the designs were all printed on textured white Bazzill card 
EK Success border punch to make decorative panel
For the tag:
More of the paper designs, printed in smaller sizes
Corner Rounder,
Pointed Circle dies and plain circle die (both Spellbinders)
Numerals are felted stick-ons (sorry, I can't remember the make)
Natural raffia


Don't forget, this CD is on offer in the SHOP for just £1 at the moment so don't miss out! Here's a quick look at just some of the designs you'll get on the CD

We'd love to see what you make with Funky Hand goodies too.....

2 for 1!

Morning all, Tammy here. 

Back to share another project for Funky Hand! This month the DT are all using the Funky Daze CD which you can get here for a fabulous price of just £1! 



My card today actually ended up as 2!! I started off with a baby themed card in mind but with the other bits of the die cuts that would have been wasted it made perfect sense to make another card! So my first card is this one. 



I dug out an old baby vest die, and used papers from the CD. added a small button and pearls and the baby sentiment is also on the disc! Perfect for a new addition! 

My second card



As I explained I thought I would use the *other* bits from the die cuts to make a little card. It measures 5x5 inches and works perfectly! 


Thats all for now! 

Remember to pop back tomorrow to see more fab inspiration from the funky girls!

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.
