Amanda's sketch card......for daddy!

Morning all and welcome to my (Amanda) turn to show my card. (anice's original post is here)The download I used for this card is the Minty Madness one and it was one I bought when it first came out and have used it LOADS! Mint green and black....who could resist?

All the elements on this card apart from the letters (which I cut with the cuttlebug) come with the download. There are loads of different sized stars, gorgeous sentiments and a funky alphabet included.

As you can see I flipped Anice's sketch over. So feel free to flip it reverse it, turn it, whatever you like as long as the basic sketch is still visible!!

Please remember our only rule is to use at least one item from Funky Hand. If you don't have anything yet then there is a scrummy free paper available each month. You can downlaod it here

So have fun and pop back and join in the Funky Hand Fun!! (you have until the 14th of July to get your entry in before the new challenge on the 15th)

Anyone for Tea Darling - It's Paula Here?

Hello to all our regular 'Get Funky' readers - and a massive warm welcome to any new ones.

I hope you are going to join in with the challenge this month which is based on this sketch created by Anice:

The Design Team all loved this sketch and couldn't wait to get going with it - we sure hope you do too. If you want to read how Anice kicked off the challenge - please click HERE where she will tell you all you need to know about joining in. If in doubt - you just need to ensure that at least ONE of the elements on your project is from either a Funky Hand CD or Funky Hand Download from the website, but if you own neither - here is a very generous funky freebie download paper that you can use to join in with this months challenge. Just to make it a bit easier - could you please tell us which collection from which CD your paper is from.

Click on the pic of the freebie in order to take you to the place where you can download it (please don't share the file with anyone - just direct them to this blog and encourage your crafty friends to take part too)...

Well, without further ado - here is my project this month, which I completed using the 'Dreams Come True' CD, the collection is called 'Delightful Fun'

I hope you like the colour scheme as much as I do - those deep pinks with the taupe colour along with black looks very classy I think. The image is from the Papercraft Factory set of CD's and comes with the 'Craft the Year Away' CD - but can be used with any of the three CD's when used in the workspace area. I have used similar colour Promarkers to highlight the image to bring it all together. The sentiment stamped on the front is from a collection from my stash.

Well, that's it for me this month (where does the time go?). I hope I've inspired you to join in and even take a look at the CD's again - the potential of the Papercraft Factory CD's is phenomenal... even the older, Funky Hand original CD's have some stunning papers on - and are very relevent and on-trend now. It's as if Anice was ahead of her time with her designs when she created them - or you could even say that they are infact timeless - and just really useful all the time, any time!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my DT project, don't forget to keep an eye out for more inspiration from the rest of the team too.

Tea's Up!

Morning Funky Fans!

I thought I'd show you what I've made with Anice's rather faberoony sketch:

Now, I've got a little secret to tell you, but sssssssshhhh, don't tell anyone I told you... the papers on this card are from a brilliant new download, Tea's Up, coming to Funky Hand very soon. It's full of delish spots, stripes, and some rather funky 'Polly put the kettle on' inspired papers. So keep an eye out, because you're going to want it. But remember, Mum's the word! ;)

The cute little owl is from the Dreams Come True CD. I printed him out onto one of the papers from the (new!) Tea's Up Download, (Sssssshhhh!) and I've added some dew drops to make his eyes extra googly.

You still have plenty of time to play along with our Sketch, remember you'll need to use a Funky Hand product. But don't worry if you don't have any Funky stuff, as you can grab this months gorgeous Funky Freebie. Or maybe a cuppa (sssssshhhh!)...

Funky Sketch with Ruth

It's my turn (Ruth) to hopefully inspire you with the wonderful sketch Anice has challenged us to use for this month. I've made two items - I covered a rather grim looking address book with papers from Colour Me Happy along with the little house image. That has been coloured with Aquamarkers and I've added liquid pearl dots around the nesties shape.


And for my second item I made a new home card with Salt and Pepper download papers plus an image from Dreams Come True. The ribbon and tiny key charm are all from my stash.


Good luck with the challenge - closing date is 14 of July and don't forget to use at least one Funky Hand product in your creation and there is always the Funky Freebie if you haven't got anything! Please add the link to your entry via the blue frog below.

Debs' Funky 15th Sketch Card

 

Good morning Funky Peeps - it's Debs here with my inspiration for this month's Funky 15th challenge that has been picked by the boss lady herself.

Anice has given us a really fabulous sketch to work with this month

Now, you can use this sketch for you creations as you like. Turn it on it's side, twist it around or use it just as you see it.  As long as we can see the basic sketch idea in your crafty creation then that is just fine.  Also as always you need to use at least one Funky Hand product..but there is a new Funky Freebie on the website www.funkyhand.com waiting for you just incase you don't own any Funky Hand products yet.

So here's my take on the sketch:

I have used papers from Colour Me Happy - Contented Coffee range and the super cute image is also from the same Papercraft CD.

I used the text writer function to create a text border and then punched the edges with a doily style border punch.

A touch of pleated ribbon to finish it off - job done - simples!!

With so much choice of gorgeous Design Papers and images now available at Funky Hand - you have everything you need to get sketchy with us this month - I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Look out for more gorgeous inspiration for my Funky Teamies throughout the month.

Have a fabulous day.

Get Funky new June Challenge

Hi everyone and welcome to the new Get Funky challenge for June.  This is Anice and I'm in charge this month. I love a good sketch challenge so that's what I thought I'd bring to you this month..so here is the sketch for you to follow..

Now, you can use this sketch for you creations as you like. Turn it on it's side, twist it around or use it just as you see it.  As long as we can see the basic sketch idea in your crafty creation then that is just fine.  Also as always you need to use at least one Funky Hand product..but there is a new Funky Freebie on my website www.funkyhand.com waiting for you just incase you don't own any Funky Hand products yet.

Here is my take on the sketch for your first bit of inspiration..

For my card I used papers from my craft CD Craft The Year Away  The papers are from the February Love collection and the cupcake is one of the digital images also available on Craft The Year Away. I was a bit lazy and used the pre coloured digi image but there is a blank version on the CD as well so you can colour your cupcake how ever you would like!  I have added a little Glossy Accents to the cherry on the top of the cake but I'm afraid the picture doesn't show the glossy effect that well.

So, there you go.  As usual the other members of the Funky Hand Design Team will be back here ever few days to show you their take on this months sketch.  They will be sharing their creations and I'm sure a few tips and tricks along the way so don't forget to keep popping back to be inspired.  Oh and don't forget to join in..we love to see your creations and visit your blogs..and for the winner there is a free Funky Hand download of your choice.

Looking forward to hearing what you think and seeing what you make.
Anice xx
