I love these papers, particularly this combination and it shows how easy it is to make some cards quickly and easily.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I am sharing a card I made for my niece's birthday, using the Lollipop colourway from the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/backing-paper-cds/funky-hand-originals/now-thats-funky" target="_blank">Now That's Funky</a> cd rom.<br />

<br />
I used the sentiment backers to create toppers by die-cutting her name. Then used a cute Sue Wilson die to create a bow. Layered it up and we're good to go!<br />
<br />
I will see you all later in the month for another share.<br />

<br />
I have used the Emerald View collection to make a card that's perfect for sending when you don't really have an occasion but just want to send a card, just because!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl4G-R314AwNUhPKUI9msAqYimgIkNSFs8NG6dfWU6jtiQDwMN8Hy7elYQRnqUYUgLvEiaRsq_4spYxnporql7Ty3Q7B084bEfSpyudy-z2_JJmYhLR-ts_Ebk3xkgoWvnTXY7W-smVDA5/s1600/24.05.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl4G-R314AwNUhPKUI9msAqYimgIkNSFs8NG6dfWU6jtiQDwMN8Hy7elYQRnqUYUgLvEiaRsq_4spYxnporql7Ty3Q7B084bEfSpyudy-z2_JJmYhLR-ts_Ebk3xkgoWvnTXY7W-smVDA5/s400/24.05.15.jpg" width="363" /></a></div>
<br />
The collection comes with ready made toppers so once you've printed the papers you want and cut out the topper, you are all ready to go! Finish with a few punched flowers and you're done,<br />
<br />
I love making cards like this and the collections on the cd-rom make it really simple to make some lovely cards, and the variety on the cd-rom, which is only £1.00 at the moment means you can make a multitude of cards without any duplication.<br />
<br />
See you all soon for another share, Sammylou xxxSammylouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16205372732874589985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051370242114751378.post-92146564868825182922015-05-08T10:01:00.004+01:002015-05-08T10:01:46.076+01:00Funky Hand - V. FunkyMorning<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing a quick make from the All Occasions folder which is included on the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/backing-paper-cds/funky-hand-originals/v.-funky" target="_blank">V. Funky</a> cd-rom.<br />
<br />

<br />
Using the Best Teacher topper and co-ordinating papers, I have created a quick thank you for a teacher. I printed off a matching red paper from one of the other collections on the disc and cut out an apple shape, then paper-pieced a leaf. Mat and layer the papers, then pop the home-made topper on and the card is done!<br />
<br />
An incredibly quick card to make but still so lovely.<br />
<br />
I will see you all soon and don't forget that the cd-rom is available on the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/backing-paper-cds/funky-hand-originals/v.-funky" target="_blank">Funky Hand website</a> for just £1.00, you'd be mad not to buy it at such a great price!<br />

<br />
I'm here with a forgotten Funky Hand make for you today.<br />
<br />
The fab <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/craft-downloads/all-flavours/steam-funk" target="_blank">Steam Funk</a> download is brilliant for all your male card makes and is an absolute steal at £2.99 for 17 papers and 4 digis. I love these papers and they are a definite "go-to" set for me when making male cards.<br />
<br />
Today's make is a little sad as it was made for a very well-liked colleague who was leaving the team to take up a different position within the company i work for. He loved the card, we ate a lot of cake and while I deal with the indigestion, you can have a look at the card<br />
<br />

<br />
But with the sunshine in mind came this card, made using the Papercraft Factory <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/backing-paper-cds/papercraft-factory/colour-me-happy" target="_blank">Colour Me Happy CD rom</a> by Funky Hand.<br />
<br />
Each month we like to share with you some of the wonderful papers available in the archives as it were at Funky Hand HQ and, I have to admit, I was more than a little excited when this was chosen.<br />
<br />
It is one of my favourite CD roms, mainly because it is so diverse. (And, if you don't believe me, check out the <a href="http://getfunkyandcraft.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Get Funky and Craft blog</a> to see what the rest of the Funkettes have made!<br />

<br />
I made this card for a lady at work and she is such a vibrant person, i knew that I would have to choose the Barbadian Ecstasy variation for her.<br />
<br />
As so often happens with me, I focused on the papers and the only embellishments added were the card candi and the sentiment which I printed out on Word..<br />
<br />
Please pop on over and have a look at what we created and hopefully you will see that £6.99 is a tiny amount of money to spend considering the variety available on this CD.<br />
<br />
See you all soon<br />

<br />
This is a beautiful collection of sumptuous pink, peach and cream; a perfect base for all your Summer wedding makes and more.<br />
<br />
I have started some notelets (I do love a mini card) and just using three of the papers, I have created this<br />

The first you can see by popping over to the blog at <a href="http://getfunkyandcraft.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Get Funky and Craft</a>. The second is here:<br />

<br />
It's a Retro Muffin.<br />
<br />
I know I have said it before but I do love a card when the papers do the talking and this is a fantastic example of that!<br />
<br />
Using a circle punch I made circles to create the muffin top, then roughly cut a cake case from contrasting paper. Add on a bit of ribbon, some card candy and a sentiment and this is the result. A quick, easy and effective card!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!

<br />
The <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/craft-downloads/all-flavours/minty-madness" target="_blank">Minty Madness</a> is a fab paper, sentiment and alpha collection costing just £3.49. I love these papers and they are a vibrant set of green hues with white and black accents. For the showcase I have made a Good Luck card for a colleague leaving work and here it is:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used some nesties and a flower punch, layered it up and cut a Good Luck sentiment from the Sentiments page included in the download.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The card is slightly busier than my usual style but I really like it! Why not head on over to the blog to see the other gorgeous creations made by the Funkettes and you'll see exactly how brilliant and versatile the download is.</div>

I have wanted to try one of these for ages and am really pleased with the effect. I have used papers from the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/craft-downloads/christmas/sleigh-ride" target="_blank">Sleigh Ride</a> download to create my funky star and it is really quick and simple to make. If you would like to learn more, then head on over for a quick tutorial.</div>

I'm really looking forward to time off, it might not be a proper holiday but it will be lovely to be away from work; have some time to catch up on some jobs and hopefully get a boatload of crafting in as well...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I'm sharing a card I made recently using papers from the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/backing-paper-cds/papercraft-factory/dreams-come-true" target="_blank">Dreams Come True </a>cd rom and the <a href="http://www.tiddlyinks.com/fairy-happy-day/" target="_blank">Fairy Happy</a> image from Tiddly Inks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not the most confident of colourists and decided I would have a go with watercolour pencils for this. Here she is</div>

A card with the military in mind... Happy Wednesday to you all x today I am sharing a card I made for an 18th birthday. The chap in question had just passed his Marines exam so the theme army was the brief.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The card I made was from a fabulous designer, Gordon Fraser and his dude designs can be found at Craftsuprint. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I decoupaged the Dude and hand cut a number 18 using a Union Jack paper. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Male cards can be a nightmare but a simple brief can sometimes manifest into a card to be proud of! I really enjoyed making this card and will no doubt use the dude again!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
See you all on Friday for a Funky Friday share. Love as always, Sammylou xXx</div>

Sammylou here and today I am sharing makes from the <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/craft-downloads/all-flavours/shabby-saturday" target="_blank">Shabby Saturday</a> download from <a href="http://www.funkyhand.com/" target="_blank">Funky Hand.</a><br />
I just love the colours in this collection and think they are absolutely perfect for all kinds of makes. I have showcased two of my makes over on the Get Funky and Craft blog but wanted to share with you another of my makes using the download:<br />
<br />

<br />
I have paper pieced the birdie using some of the papers, embossed plain white card to mat the image and cut out one of the fabulous sentiments available as part of the download. A quick card made in minutes using the delicious papers :)<br />
<br />
I hope you like him and if you'd like to see more of the makes from the Funkettes, please pop on over to the blog for a lots more inspiration. And, if you love it as much as we do, then pop on over to the website to bagsy your own! And don't forget to share your makes over on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/funkyhand?fref=ts" target="_blank">Funky Hand Facebook</a> page!<br />

<br />
I have used him to make the card I have shared on the Get Funky blog and also an easel card for my Husband from our son. It's not his birthday until the 3rd of this month so I'm hoping he doesn't see it!<br />
<br />

<br />
I used pro markers to colour him to match the papers and added the die cut Daddy. The papers themselves just pop with colour and I think my Husband will be really pleased. Our son definitely approved!<br />
<br />
I am busy adjusting to my new work hours which have changed to accommodate my son starting school so I have been a little quiet of late. I hope you don't hold it against me and bear with me as I try to figure out how to organise my blogging and card making around this change.<br />
<br />
I will be back soon to share some other fun stuff I have been working on. See you all soon, Sammylou xxxSammylouhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16205372732874589985noreply@blogger.com1
