Another fab doodlewords

Hi all,

It's time for another Get funky and craft instalment.  I don't know about you but everytime I go to make a rosette I forget how wide to do the strip for folding so off I go and check through my mags etc..... So I thought I'd put a few pics up to show you how I made mine.

I used the winter wedding papers and the 'you're having a baby doodlewords which will be released very soon here. A button, some bakers twine and card candi are all that I added.I also used a pram digital stamp from the Wishes and Kisses cdrom

Here's what I printed off for my card: 1 sheet of paper by dragging and dropping the digital papers and doodleword using a graphics program like Craft artist etc.

From an A4 sheet of paper I cut a strip - 1 and a half inches wide.

on my scoreboard I scored as shown above.Then did a concertina effect - valleys and folds.

Join each end together and trim any excess.So that it looks like the pic below.

Push the rosette down and glue a piece of card on the back to hold it in place.

And there you have it - your very own rosette.

We'd love to see anything you make using any funkyhand product.I'd really love to see you have a go at a rosette too.

aud sentiments challenge - anything goes

Craft door magazine-challenge-june-4th-june-10th - anything goes

New Home

Hi all,

 It's little old me with a little preview of the new doodlewords which Anice has been beavering away to create for all you lovely crafters.  I have had a ball using them. I'm finding them so useful and I'm sure you lovely crafters will love them once they are released.

I've used the New Home one in the centre of my card and as you can see you can colour them or leave them as they are.So versatile.

I used the papers from the new - soon to be released 'Summer wedding' papers and printed the digital stamp doodlewords directly onto the paper,

I cut a square, a rectangle for the roof with a triangle off each side and an offcut for the chimney.

Then popped them on a card base and cut around the shape. 

The flowers were cut out of the offcuts I used to make the roof and I shaped them. 

My white sakura pen coloured some of the doodleword in and my fine liner was used for the faux stitching.I also added some gems.

Challenges:
abc-challenge - o for open
sister act card challenge-9
totally papercrafts challenge169-anything-goes
totally gorjuss challenge-186-anything-goes-with-flowers

So why not pop over to our facebook page or to Get funky and craft to share with us what you think of the new doodlewords what you create with any of the funkyhand products, so don't be shy.
