Using up my scraps for Funky Fairys

The challenge over at Funky Fairy's this week is to alter something, I was going to cover a large notebook I have but when I went to print out my Funky Fairy papers - disaster as my printer decided not to play. I changed my ink system over to one of these continuous flow thingies (that's the technical term!) and it's been a nightmare, when it works it's wonderful and yes it does work out a lot cheaper than cartridges, but it's so bloomin' tempermental and today it's not printing a thing!

So plan B, had a look in my scraps folder and I did have some Funky Fairy papers left over from a previous project so I cut them out and decorated a little box I keep my business cards in, the flower on the top is from an FF kit too. I'm really pleased with the result, the box now looks very funky & cheery!

Funky Fairies No. 35

This is my entry for FunkyFairys Challenge this week, where the theme was to use some doodling!

First off apologies for the photo being a bit dark, but considering I took it on my iPhone inside, it's not too bad, but the card is a bit brighter in real life.

This was a really quick & easy card to make and ironically it's the first card in days that I'm pleased with.

The cute little birdies, sentiment and papers all come from the FF kit A Lil Bit of Happy, the cardstock is Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise, the ribbon is DCWV and the gorgeous brad is My Minds Eye, I almost didn't want to put it on the card it's so lovely! I've added a bit of doodling around the image using an SU marker in Basic Black.

I've been a bit glum today so it was nice to spend some time in my craftroom and make a happy card.

Creative Card Crew 20 & FunkyFairies 26

Close up so you can see the polka dots on the pink paper:

Two challenges with this card, the theme over at Creative Card Crew this week is Polka Dots (love polka dots) and at FunkyFairies it's a girly theme.

The image is Anna, from Anna & Bella stamps by Gina - you can see the blog here and I've coloured her with PM's - I think she's very sweet dressed up in her mum's shoes & make-up. The papers are all from FunkyFairies ShabbyChic set and I've layered them with Stampin' Up! Gable Green cardstock, flower embellies & spotty ribbon from my stash, & the swirly flower is a K&Co sticker.

The photo's come out a bit dark, in real life it's a lot lighter & brighter!

Funky Fairies No. 25

Two cards in one day, must be on a roll!

A sketch to follow over at Funky Fairies this week, which I enjoyed as it was a bit different from the norm. Not too sure about the finished result though, it seemed like a good idea but I don't know if it's a bit too busy, there's something not quite working for me - hmm.

Anyway, I've used Funky Fairies Garden set for the papers, scalloped circles & butterflies and I don't know if you can see in the photo but I've made little antenna using wire & beads as I had to cut out the butterflies & couldn't cut around the antenna. I've used some SU! Gable Green cardstock, which matched perfectly and the corners are from a fancy Cuttlebug square die, which I've cut in half. I've also embossed the centre piece of card, using a floral embossing folder.

Funky Fairies Challenge No. 23 & DU2DS No. 14

This week's theme at FunkyFairies is "Beach" which gave me just the excuse I needed to use my new Digi-stamp purchased from CC Designs, I've seen this stamp on a few other blogs and just fell in love with it. I'm also entering it into DU2DS who are asking for embossing.

I've coloured my image with ProMarkers, the backing paper is from FunkyFaires, called Swirly (I think!) and the cardstock is SU! colours So Saffron and More Mustard (which I thought was a nice sandy sort of colour) and I've put it through my Cuttlebug with the spots embossing folder, I've also torn across the top, but you can't really see that very well. The flower, brad & chipboard sentiment are all from my stash.

LPSC 22

Ok, here's one more card for today and then I'm definitely finished! I suddenly remembered I really wanted to do this challenge as it was a great sketch and a theme of cupcakes - can't resist a cupcake afterall!

The image and backing papers are from Funky Fairies and I've coloured the image with Stampin' Up! markers to try and match the colours on the paper as much as possible, apart from the strawberry which is a ProMarker as I don't have my Real Red marker yet (but it's on its way!). The cardstock is SU! Pretty in Pink & Barely Banana and I've embossed the two squares with a Cuttlebug folder, and the buttons are from my stash.

Apologies for the wonky photo, just noticed how rubbish it is!!

Funky Fairies & Bee Crafty

A great sketch to follow over at FunkyFairies this week and I've combined it with Bee Crafty's fortnightly challenge, which is Love & Marriage and a freebie digi-image to use. I've coloured my image with PM's, apart from the word Love, which I've paper pieced to get the right shade of pink, I've also chalked around the edges with SU! pastels. The papers are from FunkyFairies "Paisley Love" set, the cardstock is SU! Pixie Pink and the hearts have been cut out with a die (X-Cut I think) using my Cuttlebug. It's a very pink card, but "Lurve" should be!!

Funky Fairies Challenge No. 19

A recipe to follow this week at Funky Fairies:

1 ribbon

2 flowers

3 buttons

4 patterned papers

I wasn't sure how I was going to fit it all on but as you can see I did!

The image & the papers are Funky Fairy downloads and I've coloured the image with ProMarkers, the sentiment I've done on the computer.

Cardstock is SU! Tempting Turquoise, the two turquoise flowers are K&Co stickers and the ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

FunkyFairies Challenge No. 15

FunkyFairies released some new papers this week and also a set of fab funky fairies digi-stamps, which, despite being on a tight budget at the moment, I just couldn't resist, they were such good value though, it would have been rude not to!  The challenge was to make a get well card & I think this sweet little fairy would make anyone feel a bit brighter.

I've coloured her with a combo of ProMarkers and Sakura Stardust pens, as a fairy has to have some glitter, not too clear in the pic, but her wings and the pink on on her boots, flower and the border are all sparkly.  The sentiment is computer generated onto FunkyFairies elements, I've layered up 2 of the scallops together

The papers are all FunkyFairies and the cardstock is Stampin' Up! in Whisper White and Tempting Turquoise, the added bling is from my stash

Sketch Saturday Challenge No 45

I really liked this week's sketch, it was quite a clean, straightforward layout, so I decided to keep the card clean and just use one paper and matching cardstock.

The very cute fairy was a free download from Two Scoops Rice and I've coloured her outfit with Sakura Stardust pens, so she has a lovely sparkle to her (not clear in the photo) and watercoloured her skin.

The backing paper is from a FunkyFairy's set called Funky Flowers and the cardstock is Stampin' Up's Pixie Pink. I've added a bit of bling down either side of the image, and a flower & brad which are all from my stash.

I've won a challenge

Ooh I'm so excited you wouldn't believe it, but I just had a little tip off to check Funky Fairy's Challenge Blog and to my delight discovered I'd won the doorhanger challenge! Not only do I get a fab FF download but a bag of crafting goodies and the fantastic doorhanger that Joanne has made - now doesn't that make me one lucky crafter (please insert big cheesy grin here!!)

Funky Fairy's Door hanger Challenge

I just had to take part in this challenge as I already had a door hanger waiting to be decorated! My hubby made some of these from clear plastic a while ago for me to decorate with funky foam, but I never really liked the results I got and so they were put away. When I saw the Challenge over at Funky Fairys Challenge Blog I knew it was time to dig out the hanger and have a go at decorating it, I'd never thought of decorating it with papers before, but now I'm glad I did and will definately make some more.

I used FunkyFairy Doodlementals papers, I put a spotty one behind the door hanger and then stuck the welcome & flowers on the front using silicone to give a raised effect.
