Friends are like stars.......... - Bubbly Funk DT

Happy Wednesday!

The boys have their carol service at a local church this afternoon with their school friends.  They've been practicing a lot and I'm sure it'll all pay off in their performance.

I'm up on the Bubbly Funk blog today with a card for a friend.  You know I love my sentiments and this is a stamp I had to buy, it just so happened to work really well with the December 'Through The Letterbox' too!

I began by making the background.  I used the star stencil from the box and with my finger applied Liquid Pearls through it.  I didn't want a smooth effect so using my fingers gave me the texture I desired.

While the background was drying, I die cut cross stitched banners.  I stamped the sentiment onto the largest one and added glitter stars from the box to the others.  I trimmed the diamante ribbon into banners too.

I assembled the card and used foam tape for the sentiment banner so it was more prominent.  A perfect card for a friend.........

See you again on Friday!

Warm Winter Wishes - Bubbly Funk DT

Happy Sunday!

I'm just popping by to say I am up on the Bubbly Funk blog HERE with a project using ribbons - lots of them!  The November 'Through The Letterbox' is full of a wonderful array of ribbons.

I've covered a chipboard mitten with the ribbons and used one to make a pretty bow!  

The embellishments in the box are gorgeous and I've picked on a beautiful faux pearl brad and snowflake charms for this project.

I love it when a plan comes together and I found a sentiment which goes so well with my project - 'warm wishes to you' as mittens keep your hands warm don't they?!  The sentiment was one of a set in the latest Making Cards Magazine.  I can certainly see myself using them a lot as they're very versatile.

There's a more in depth post on the Bubbly Funk blog of how I made this card and if you haven't got the November 'Through The Letterbox' - what are you waiting for?!

See you again next week!

Makeover Candle Gift Project - Bubbly Funk DT

Happy Thursday!

I hope you're all keeping snug and warm.  I'm definitely feeling the cold but my Mum thinks I may have an iron deficiency as she claims it's not that cold!!!!  

I'm on the Bubbly Funk blog today with a makeover project using the November Bubbly Funk Through The Letterbox.  I adore candles and use them a great deal at home as I like both the scent and the atmosphere they create.

I recently bought a few candles which smell divine but don't look very interesting so I decided to give one a makeover as a gift for a friend. 

For the lid, I die cut a white glitter base and added skeleton leaves and chipboard hearts from the box.  I used a couple of poinsettia from my stash and glittered the tips.  I threaded twine through the poinsettia and a white bell, adding beads to the bottom.

For the side of the tin I used the striped material from the box.  I found I could manipulate it so well as it didn't crease and gave a lovely clean look.  I adhered it with double sided tape and used that for the pom pom ribbon as well.

I hope you've enjoyed my project.  You'll find more information and inspiration on the Bubbly Funk page HERE where you can also purchase your November Through The Letterbox.

I may see you again tomorrow but it all depends if I get my project completed - it's been a mad week so far and it's not over yet!

Festive Snow Friends Tag - Bubbly Funk DT

Happy Wednesday!

The new Bubbly Funk 'Through The Letterbox' is out today and it is brimming with all things festive!

For my first project I have opted to make a tag using everything from the box apart from the paint that I used to spatter the tag with!  The embellishments in this kit are plentiful with pearls, candi, metal snowflakes, gems, buttons and much more, a bit of an Aladdin's cave.......

For my tag I spattered gold and white paint as a base then adhered a plain white and spotted blue ribbon.  The sparkly poinsettia base is really glittery and after adding it I had a tough time choosing which embellishments to use as I was truly spoilt for choice!

I ended up with using a mixture of the metal snowflakes, card candi, pearls, sequin hearts and a metal sentiment.  I finished by adding twine to a couple of buttons and tying in a bow.

You may be able to guess that the key colour for this month's box is blue.  The spotted blue and white paper bag is one of the bags the items come packaged in.  I can't bear to throw them away as they're so pretty!

You can buy the November Bubbly Funk box HERE.

See you again soon!
