Marleen DT - "I love you sew much"

Morning ya all..

Time for a wee post for 

Funky Hand Design.

This month we, the DT are using all the love themed downloads.
You can find them all in the STORE...

For today, Ive used the download called "I love you sew much"

Here is what Ive made:

To make this card i simply covered my base card with one of the papers from the download.
I then cut the strings of hearts out from one of the other sheets.
The letters come on a sheet in the kit and I simply cut the letters out, pressed them into a versamark inkpad and covered them with clear embossing powder.
I did the same with the butterfly.
I finised by adding crackle glaze to the hearts and adding the metal heart from my stash.

And that is all from me for today.
Many thanks for popping by and for and for any comments left behind

Sew Anniversary!

In case you didn't know, February is the month of everything love and what better way to celebrate than a sale! There are 5 Love themed downloads to buy from the store for just £1 each during February!  I've used I Love You Sew and all are scraps from a previous project and as I hate to throw any bit away, I knew I'd be able to use them at some point - there is always method in my madness!

Welcome to the month of Love...

Hello everyone,
It's February the first already, can you believe it? As it's the month of love, I thought I would show some love to all the fabby Funky Handers out there and offer you a month long treat.

From today until the 28th, the following five love themed Funky Hand digital backing paper download collections are available for just £1.00 each. Lets take a look at the ones that I mean..

The I Love You Sew collection of backing papers has a sewing theme with 22 papers and a ready to cut out alphabet.  It's usually £3.19 but you can download it for £1.00 all month.

The Huge Funky Love Wordbook collection is one of the best selling Funky Hand downloads.  If you haven't tried making wordbooks before this will be the perfect time to give it a go! If you haven't a clue what a wordbook even is, take a look at this video  http://www.funkyhand.com/papercraft-demonstrations/how-to-make-a-wordbook/?chapter=1  The download has 26 letter pages and 0-9 number pages.  As well as that,  there are 6 matching backing papers included. You can normally get this download for £4.59. Today and all month it's only £1.00. You'd be mad not to give it ago!

The I Heart You collection of backing papers has a heart filled theme with 22 papers, a ready to cut out alphabet and some printable digital images and sentiments.  It's usually £3.19 but you can download it for £1.00 all month. There's an added treat on the page with a video of me creating a Valentines card using the collection.  Have a laugh I don't mind!

The Love Love Love collection of backing papers has a true Valentines colour spectrum with bright red and black. The download includes 21 papers and a ready to cut out alphabet.  It's usually £3.19 but it's £1.00 for all of this month.

Fancy a change from the standard red for love theme? Then the Hearts and Flowers collection of backing papers will be perfect for you. The download includes 22 papers and a set of hearts and flowers for you to cut out and add to your creations.  Normally it would cost £3.49 to download but you can get it for £1.00.

OK, so there is a little look at the treats I have for you this month. Just click on the images to get a closer look on the website.  If you would like some ideas about what you could make with these collections then you're in luck!  Everyday this month the wonderful members of our Design Team will be sharing ideas using these downloads and other collections available right here so you should get lots of inspiration. 

Keep popping back to see what wonders they have created for you.

Speak again soon,

Anice xx

   

Good Luck!

Here is a quick card made using the I Love You Sew download papers.  And the best bit is, most of it was made using left over scraps from previous projects!

I've added some faux stitching of my own and carefully cut out some of the letters from the matching alphabet and then added some organza ribbon and embroidery thread to the side for a bit of detail.

And even though there is pink in the collection, the download would make some great male cards too - lots of zig zags!

Don't forget to link up your Funky Hand creation below as we'd love to see what you make!

Welcoming Tabbatha to our team :)

Hiyah everyone!!

We have some exciting news to share with you here at Funky Hand!! we have a gorgeous new teamie who joined us last week but we have been keeping her to ourselves!! he he he!!!!

We are always on the look out for new Funkettes and Tabbatha's blog shouted at us!!!

Here's a few words from Tabbatha so I don't do all the talking!!!...

Hello everyone! I'm Tabbatha from The Zadis Project and am super excited to be apart of this wonderfully creative team. I'm a HUGE fan of all things hybrid, I use lots of hybrid design papers in my creations. Who doesn't love the lack of space that is taken up by digital papers? :D Earlier in the year I had a chance to use some of Anice's wonderful papers, which I had a lot of fun with so this is really a fantastic fit.

I hope to bring something a little different to the show as well, although with that being said isn't that exactly what each one of us tries to do as well? :D I'm excited and I hope you will be pleased with everything I put forth. Thanks!!

Oh, here is a little something, something that I whipped up. 

I created this baby using the I love Sew papers and the awesome A Hug in a Mug digital stamp. You know that whole trend using chevrons for everything? Yeah...I'm totally on that train and Anice doesn't disappoint. I used two different chevron papers from the I Love Sew for the background and the mug itself. The horizontal strips are seriously just a piece of the I Love Sew papers. It has this really cool faux stitching and the stripes were just perfect to compliment the chevrons.

To add dimension, I 3D paper pieced the  A Hug in a Mug digital stamp.  I tell you what, these mugs are PERFECT for 3D paper piecing.

Thanks again for having me. - Love Tabbatha!

So please join us in welcoming Funkette Tabbatha to our team!!!

New Download Release! I Love You Sew!

Anice has released a brand new download over at Funky Hand and this collection is called I Love You Sew.  There are 22 papers plus an alphabet all for £3.19.  There are also some fab digi images too that have been released - perfect for those who love their cups of tea! 

I've made this retro dress card using some of the papers from the I Love You Sew download.  The skirt on the dress is three quarters of a circle cut from paper (I forgot to print on the reverse so coloured it with a Promarker!) and then folded.

I glued it over the body and then added some half pearls to hide the join.  I've added some inking and doodling around the edges of the other papers and finished off with a heart half pearl to the top corner.

This is a lovely download collection of papers which are really versatile - perfect for Birthdays or Anniversaries or Weddings!  If you need any more inspiration, just pop over to Funky Hand and have a look at the gallery - the Design Team have been busy!

Don't forget to link up any of your creations if you've used Funky Hand papers or digi's - just add your link to the blue frog below so we can all come and have a look!
