Zing into spring challenge winner.

Well its another Funky Fifteenth and time for my to hand over the hostessing to the lovely new Grandma Debs for Aprils challenge.

Before I push the little hostess trolley of crafting goodness off to Debs I thought I had better let you know the winners of my Zing Into Spring challenge. Such a tough choice as the entries were all so fabulous and I want to thank each one of you for sharing your zingy projects.

ZING INTO SPRING

Hi Everyone  .. ..  Jules here!!!

Today is the last post for the theme set by my lovely teamie Lou .. .. 

Zing into Spring

It has been a really good theme and I am sure you have enjoyed all of the inspiration provided by my lovely funkette teamies  .. .. 

they have definitely been bringing lots of zing and inspiration to the challenge. 

We hope you enjoy seeing our projects pop up here every couple of days 

as much as we enjoy posting them.

I am here to "bring up the rear" ahead of a new challenge starting on the Funky Fifteenth.

Here is my Zingy Springy make:

This was made using one of the original Funky Hand CD's 

"Funky Seasons". 

You can see it in the store here.

The colours were so bright and beautiful in this paper collection that I decided to make my own lime green card base .. .. sorry if it is all a bit bright first thing in the morning LOL!!!

So a new challenge starts on the 15th April .. ..

but that still gives you all of today and tomorrow to enter the challenge.

You need to use a Funky Hand paper or extra on your creation .. .. but if you don't have any at the moment then there is a freebie available on the side bar. 

Who knows you could win the download prize and then own even more papers.

All of the downloads are gorgeous so it is a prize that is well worth winning.

Thank you to everyone who has entered so far. 

Don't forget to check back on the 15th to see if Lou picked you as her winner

or whether you have been awarded one of the Get Funky! Blinkies.

Thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx

Zing Into Spring

Hi everyone - it's my turn, Allison, to share with you my card for the lovely Lou's Zing Into Spring challenge here at Get Funky this month.

I have used the freebie for this month which you can grab from here -and it's ideal for this months challenge

because remember you must use at least one FunkyHand product to be eligible to win the free download prize

A simple card from me this month cause I wanted to show off the lovely paper

I printed it onto A4 paper then resized the paper and printed again so the flowers were slightly smaller and cut out two of the flowers and layered and mounted in onto navy card and used some Tim Holz ribbon for decoration

You have until Thursday 14th to enter so get creating and join in

Springy Spring

My turn to post seems to have come around very quickly. It doesn't seem five minutes since I was doing the write up for the last challenge! I think someone somewhere is secretly stealing my days!!! The Funky Fifteenth challenge over on the Get Funky blog was chosen, this month by Lou and she chose Zing Into Spring as her challenge. She would love to see your projects (it doesn't just have to be a card) using funky spring colours of greens, yellows and lilacs but please remember that you need to use a Funky Hand paper on your entry. If you don't already own any of Anice's fabulous creations (shame on you :)) then she has created another free sheet for you to use, available here.

And here is my offering!

 Sorry about the photo, I just couldn't get one without the flower casting a shadow over the rest of the card.
I thought I would have a 'springy' flower on my card for a change so I started by printing the floral paper off in three different sizes...A4, A5 and A6. I cut out a complete flower from each of the sheets plus a couple of daisies from the A4 sheet. I edged all the flowers with diamond Stickles and once they were dry I layered the flowers on top of each other and fastened them together onto a strip of acetate measuring approximately 10 cm by 1 cm.

I used the spare daisy to cover the legs of the brad at the back of the flower.

Crease the acetate approximately 2 cm from the end and fold and adhere the folded edge behind your chosen backing paper at the top of the card. Cut a strip of the floral paper from the A5 sheet, cut green flowers from the rest of the sheet and stick onto the flowers on the paper. Dot the centres with Stickles to finish.

I hope you are enjoying our challenges and that you have the time to join us. Don't forget to check out the work which has been produced by my fabulous team mates.

Thanks for looking
Jackie

More Zinging into Spring!!

Morning all, Amanda here! Welcome to the last week of Lou's Zing into Spring Challenge. Haven't the other Funkettes cards been simply divine? I have loved seeing them all.

This week I saw my first daffodils in the garden, I know some of you might have had yours out for a while but we're a bit slower here in the Highlands :o)

So feeling all springlike certainly helped me with my card for this month's challenge. For my card I used the Craft the Year Away cd and the Our Betty Stamp and a few bits n bobs from my stash.

Please remember that to qualify for the challenge you have to use at least one Funky Hand product, there are soooo many lush papers available to buy on cd or download at the Funky Hand website and the fabby Anice has even designed a totally scrummy freebie paper available here.

Our Zingy challenge ends on 14 April so what are you waiting for come and join us and Zing into Spring.

Zingy Springy Card & Tag!

Hello Funky Hand Fans!  I see from the entries we've had so far that you're all enjoying this months Zing Into Spring challenge!  Not played along yet?  Then see all the details & how to enter here.  Remember to use at least one Funky Hand element - that can be a paper, digi stamp or Betty Stamp and be sure to make your card zingy and springy! Need a little help getting started?  Well make sure you head on over here and get your hands on this months Freebie Download. 

So on to my take on the challenge...

As you can see a card and a gift tag from me this month!  Made with a combination of the super duper Rainbow Polkadots papers and some cut out flowers from the 'Just Happy' and 'Sticky Lemons' paper collections on Dreams Come True.

The flowers are popped up on 3d foam pads for dimension and I've added some zingy bling to their centres. The tag is a chipboard one from my stash and has 3d foam on the back ready to be added to a gift. Simple but Funky!

Make sure you pop back in here over the next week as there's still more inspiration to come from four more of the Get Funky! Team...I've had a sneak peek and it's well worth popping back in! 


Happy Zingy Springy Crafting!
