Marleen DT - I heart you

Morning my blogger friends..

Time for my second post of the month 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 heart you"

Here is what Ive made:

 

Those of you who pops by my blog from time to time or follow my FACEBOOK page will know that I have a LOVE for all things vintage.
Now I LOVE these funky designs that Anice, our boss-lady, makes, but I thought that it would be fun to try and mix the 2 styles.
The jar is coloured with Androndiac alcolhol inks and then decorated with the papers from the "I heart you" kit. THe letters are also from the kit, just cut out, pressed into a versamark inkpad and embossed with clear embossing powder.
THe rest was simply just finishing it of with loads of beads on lace, a few flowers and a bow.

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

2 Little Birds

Hi, Kathy here today with a cute little box made using

 the "I Heart You" download

I've been meaning to make one of these birdhouse-shaped boxes for ages and what better time than now?

This box opens at the base for adding some little treats - though I think it would need a little bit of tape to make sure it stayed closed.  If I made another I would try and come up with an alternative - maybe make a little door at the back and seal the base up altogether.

 I printed the designs I wanted to use onto white Bazzill card. then cut the box pieces one using my Silhouette machine. 

 When I print onto card I cut the 12x12 sheets down to just under A4 width, which leaves a long narrow cut-off which I don't want to waste, obviously! 

 One of the great things about Funky Hand downloads is that you can resize the designs - maybe "cut" a little bit off the side, then alter your printer's settings so you can print onto odd sizes of paper or card.  So I print the main pieces on the large sheet, then use the off-cuts to print any smaller pieces I need - I hope that makes sense!

Basically, by doing this, and printing on both sides I only used 1 whole sheet of 12x12, plus an extra off cut length from my box of scraps

Materials and Tools

Funky Hand Download  "I Heart You"

Silhouette machine to cut box shape

Spellbinders Nesties: plain circle and Lacey circle

EK Success border punch for "tiles" on roof and the gable design

Heart feature at the top of the box is cut from one of the papers

Little birds are hand-cut, as is the door

Perch is just a tightly rolled scrap of paper, glued up then poked through a small hole made with needle tool and bamboo skewer

The birds are attached to the box with cut up pieces of foam tape so they stand away from the box

 There you go - a cute idea for a little Lovebirds box to fill up with treats for your own loved one. I hope you like it

I had some leftovers after making the box so I made a scrapling card

Materials and Tools
Scraps of  Funky Hand Download  "I Heart You"
Baker's Twine and Silver thread
Small metal key charm

The big heart is made by covering both sides of a  scrap of card then die-cutting (DieNamics Nesting Hearts)
I then embossed it with a Cuttlebug "Swirls" folder, inked lightly with a silver ink pad, then traced over the swirls with Stickles Ice glitter glue (Crystal Ice)
The tiny punched hearts were shaped with an embossing ball tool then dixed in place with a blob of Glossy Accents

Remember, all the "Love themed" downloads are on a Special Loved-Up price of only £1 each all through February, so a great time to stock up on downloads you may have missed.

We'd love to see what you make too.....

Thanks for visiting today

Marleen DT - Georgie Love Banner.

Hi guys..

Its my turn to share some inspiration

For this month I have had a play with "Georgie Love Banner" digi stamp and the
"I heart you" digital papers.

This card is very simply. I covered my card blank with a sheet form the "I heart you" papers. Then die cut my house and added on top. I Printed my greeting, also form the "I heart you" collection, as well as my "Georgie love banner" image, whick I coloured with promarkers.

Borh added to my card with a spot of pinflair. Last I added the bow, and voila.. Done..

A very simple card, but I think it came out really well.
And that is all from me for this time.
Thank you for stopping by and for any comments left behind.
