Sentimental to the Last

Hi, Kathy here today with the last project for our current challenge.

 

Get Funky! is all about showcasing Design Team projects and encouraging people to share the things they've made using products from

FUNKY HAND

Between 15th April and 15th May, we've all been getting sentimental with hostess Debs' theme:

LET'S GET SENTIMENTAL

Usually its an image or a decorative element that is the focus of the things we make - but this time it's the sentiment taking the starring role.
You've just about got time to join in and add your project but remember,
 you must use at least one FUNKY HAND product!

and you must make the sentiment the focal point of whatever you make
Maybe you are new to Funky Hand and haven't any of their stash to use - well, no problem as there's a FUNKY FREEBIE 
themed especially for this current challenge - perfect for joining in at the last minute, eh?

available here

I've made a card using the Funky Freebie and also papers from the Funky Hand Papercraft Factory CD - Happy Happy Birthday
which has the perfect paper design for something where the sentiment is the star - because the entire sheet is covered with the sentiment!

I printed the paper in two sizes, the larger version for the background and a teeny sized piece to make the little square "button" embellishment.  The two red squares are also from the same paper collection and the fab striped design is from this month's Freebie.  I punched a couple of holes through the square button and add some green twine and it was done.

I still had some scraps left, plus a piece of gingham paper I'd printed but didn't use in the end, so here's my "bonus" card using one of the sentiments from the Freebie - with a little freehand amendment ;)

You've got today and tomorrow (14th) to get your entries in and you never know, you could end up winning our regular prize of a your choice of Funky Hand Downloads - it's got to be worth a try, hasn't it?

Happy Crafting

How many ways can you Get Sentimental?!!

Morning Peeps!!
Its time for me to share with you my little Funky Hand DT make for our Deb's Sentimental challenge. I love sentiments so this was a fun challenge to do.


I was in a makey kinda mood so you get 3 makes from me today!!  I went for one card and then made some tissue covers a la my gorgeous friend Catherine's tutorial, Thank you Catherine, Mwah xxxx 
This one at the top uses the awesome Steam Funk download. It is one of my absolute fav's and is completely yummilicious for all sorts of things because it is covered in little crafty sentiments and definitions when you get reading it!  and I really didn't need to do too much other than add some lace, cute little butterflies with flower stamen and bead bodies (..told you I was in a makey mood !!!) and a quick sentiment made using the Impact Label font that is on all the papercraft factory cd's..I love that too!! :)


So my card!!! I used the April Funky Freebie and the Happy Happy birthday papercraft factory for it and I love how it came out!! the sentiment for this card is also on the freebie.

Now these little covers are completely addictive and sooo much fun. I love making them and they are absolutely perfect for sentiments too. And they are so much fun to make with the Papers from Funky Hand too!! I love them!!


Next up is a little more of a sympathy one. I used the I do wordbook for this one as it has this really gorgeous quilted 3D looking paper on it that I just adore. It looks so comfy!!!

I nestified the sentiment and then added just a few teeny flowers to the top.
OOOOOOOOHHHHH!! and while I am here don't forget about the Bank Holiday Sale that is on over in the Funky Hand shop!!! there's nothing like a long weekend and discount shopping :) :) :)

And please remember to use at least 1 funky Hand product on your makes for the challenge, thankyou!!!

huge hugs Lou xxxx

Getting Sentimental!

Hello! Jenny here and I'm just popping in to share my 'Lets Get Sentimental' make with you. I've gone for a bright, cheerful & blingy 'thinking of you' card...

I've used the fabulous Funky Freebie as the focus of my card - you can get your hands on it here! I've used both the paper and the sentiment from the freebie. I started with the sentiment then layered up sections of the stripy paper over the top (with the stripe facing different directions) to add some dimension. I then die cut some circles to make some shabby flowers, added some ribbon (from this pack here), added a wooden butterfly embellishment and tons of brads & bling!

I do hope you've been enjoying this month's challenge so far. If you're yet to play along please remember our one and only rule - use at least one Funky Hand product in your creation.  You can find all the other details on how to enter in the challenge launch post, written by Debs, here!

Lou will be up next with some more sentimental inspiration for you so please pop back here on 6th May!

Stay Funky!

Simply Sentimental

Hello and welcome to my (Amanda) turn to show my Funky 15th make for Debs' fantastic "Get Sentimental" theme this month.  Debs wants the sentiment to take centre stage on your creation so Anice has made a great freebie for you all, with a few different sentiments, perfect for all occassions. 

I have to admit this was in fact a challenge for me!  I am so used to having my image and papers all picked out before I start my card.  So I decided to keep it simple and I used the funky freebie (available here).  Both the sentiment and the stripy paper are on the freebie. 

To be in with the chance of winning the download of your choice simply enter your creation using the blue froggy below.  We don't mind what you make or how many challenges you enter, so long as there is a Funky Hand product on it you're in with a chance!  Please note though that we do check each entry and any that don't have a Funky Hand paper, sentiment or image on don't get entered into the prize draw.

If you have come to the Challenge Blog via facebook then please feel free to enter your creation via the facebook page, especially handy for those of you not addicted to blogging like us DT girls.

Hope to see your "get sentimental" creations :o)

I'm Sentimental Two!

Yes, you did read my title correctly and I can spell ;) As you probably guessed, I've made two cards for the latest Get Funky! challenge one using the Funky Freebie free download (which can be downloaded from here) and one using 'snippets' of papers left over from other projects. The freebie this month even contains large sentiments so Anice has done most of the work for you :)


It's Debs turn to host this month's challenge and a good one it is too and here is her remit

Hello! Debs here with news of this month's 

Funky 15th Challenge

I have chosen a nice and simple challenge 

LET'S GET SENTIMENTAL

and would like to see your projects using at least 1 Funky Hand product 

where the focus is on the sentiment - simples!!!

So here are my cards, the first using the freebie with flowers made from paper scraps!

 And the second card is made using the 'Workspace' section of the Happy Happy Birthday cd, part of the Papercraft Factory range which is available from the Funky Hand web site. www.funkyhand.com

I added my birthday verse before I printed the image from the cd, coloured the flowers with Promarkers and added gems to some of them.


Please note. If you don't use any Funky Hand elements on your card then you WON'T be entered into the draw for the monthly download. the challenge is open until 14th May.


Good luck and happy crafting!

I'm sentimental about cake!

Hi everyone, it's Anice here with my card to hopefully inspire you to join in with our crafty challenge this month on Get Funky.  The challenge has been set by Debs and it's all about using a sentiment as a focal point of your creation. So lets see what I made for the 'Make It Sentimental' challenge

My card is made using papers, digital stamps and a sentiment from the Happy Happy Birthday CD ROM.

For the basic background backing paper I used the polka dot paper from the Birthday Girl collection then before I printed it, using the workspace on the CD I over layed the coloured versions of the cupcakes.  I left them the size that they pull over at but as you know if you have any of the Funky Hand Papercraft Factory CDs you can resize them as you wish, right up to A4 without any loss of sharpness to the image.

I layered the created backing paper onto some plain dark pink paper the stuck it onto a 6" square white base card.  This card was created for Ians neice's birthday and at age five she likes a bit of bling! So, I sprayed the whole card with silver glitter spray from Crafters Companion and left it over night to dry.  I think you can see the glitter pretty well in the picture above.

While the base card was drying I resized one of the sentiments 'have a YUMMY birthday' from the the Happy Happy Birthday CD and printed it out to top the card.  I coloured the YUMMY word in, using Letraset Promarkers after layering the sentiment on matching dark pink paper as with the base backing paper.

Once everything was dry, I have to say I was very impressed that the silver spray sparkle didn't fall off at all or rub off on my hands when I was working with it to finish the card, I layered the sentiment with 3mm deep foam pads to give it a decent height!

So, there you go my take on this months Get Funky Challenge.  Now it's your turn to join in!  We only have one rule on this challenge blog and it's very simple, make anything that you like BUT you need to include at least ONE Funky Hand product..that could be anything a paper and image digital or stamp.  I always offer you some help by including a relevant Funky Freebie on my website www.funkyhand.com so if you don't have any Funky Hand products yet you can still join in.  Pop over and grab the FREE download now.

If you join in you have a chance of winning your choice of any Funky Hand download for your prize so have fun joining in wth the challenge and get a chance of a prize.  OK, get you crafty socks on and get creating, We can't wait to visit your blogs and see what you have been up to.
