Summer Wedding

Morning all,

It'slittle old me here with a chance to see what I've made with the lovely new Funkyhand Summer Wedding papers download.They are at a brilliant price of £1.99 so why not treat yourself. They are so usable and not just for weddings. Here's my card:

You can also make your own embellishments from the papers like I have done. All I did was cut out some of the flowers from the  off-cuts of paper and shape them with an embossing tool and a mouse mat.  Easy peasy and so effective.

I used a heart die and a border die too.  By blogging I also saw a pic of a wrap-around heart which I wanted to try out. All you have to do is fold a die cut heart in half and glue them together - why not have a go and share your lovely creations with us over at Get funky and craft  or  on our facebook page. The fold around heart is a pocket too to pop in a little tag ect.... It can be anything you've made using your fantastic Funkyhand goodies.

Challenges:
Everybody-art-challenge 241-wedding
created with love challenge -46-favorite-things - dies,flowers and pearls

incy wincy designs - make-pocket-card.
heck of a challenge - bingo - flowers,die cut/punch/pearls

Have a great Sunday.

Happy Father's Day

Afternoon,

A little later than I planned but I've been out this morning to meet up with my Dad for a coffee and cake. It was lovely to catch up and see him as it's been a few weeks... I tried to schedule this last night but our internet and Mr blogger was so slow.Is anyone else finding this happening to them on an evening?

I found a couple of maps in my car and one was old so I recycled it for my Dad's card.I found the area where he lives and lined up my star dies.Added lots of foam to the dotty blue paper for dimension, typed a computer sentiment, chipboard letters, bakers twine and a star wooden button.

Challenges:
creative creations challenge-for-you-dad-masculine
creative craft challenges 2 challenge-12-we-love-you-dad
crafting for all seasons challenge-54-one-for-guys

Hope you've had a lovely Sunday with your Dad or memories of your Dad.

All papers etc are from different Polkadoodles cdroms. Just added some faux stitching and gems.

I tried to do this post ready to schedule for today last night but blogger was misbehaving. It's going to be a crafty day as not able to make it into work today - feeling abit ropey. Hopefully I'll get my father's day cards done.
