Hip to be Square

Hi everyone. Jenny here as your host for this fortnight and we are back for our second week of the current challenge; we want you to create a 3D vintage or shabby chic project based on a cube shape. The Design Team have used Artist Trading Block cubes (available at The Funkie Junkie Boutique and discounted an extra 15% during this challenge period - that's a $39.99 die on sale for just $27.19!) but let's be clear, you can use your own templates, dies or hand cut cubes if you would prefer. Decorate, embellish and alter them in any way you choose as long as they are cube shaped and have a vintage or shabby chic feel.

Share your 3D cube projects with us to be in with a chance of winning a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie or a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique! To enter you must create a new project, link it below and make sure you add a link in your post back to this challenge. You can combine our challenge with up to 10 challenges (including this one) to be in with a chance of winning. If you are entering through a public forum please sue the keyword F&F. Also, please be sure to turn off your Word Verification so our Design Team can leave you comments.

As an added bonus this fortnight we are teaming up with our friends at 'The Artists on the Block'. They have a dedicated Design Team using Eileen Hull Designs cubes (and many other 3D die cut shapes) in incredibly imaginative ways so make sure you take a look for some added inspiration. And with their companion challenge blog 'Art With Heart' having an 'Anything Goes' theme this month you've got the option to enter your creations there as well to be in with a chance to win a brand new Eileen Hull Designs die!

Having been bowled over by the projects created by the Frilly side of the Design Team last week (see them below) it's now the turn of the Funkie side of the Design team to inspire you.

    1. Can your ATB be used with the cuddlebug? I was about to buy one through the boutique but thought I should ask first. Thanks in advance for your help. Hugs!

  12. Oh sweet!!! My question: is it okay to use an item that we have to glue together but didn't make by hand? Example: 2 drawer wood set that has to be assembled.

    1. Not sure what's going wrong there Sharon and I don't want you to miss out on any of the fun here at Frilly and Funkie. Have you tried clicking on either the blue 'Join this site' button or the blue Bloglovin' button on the sidebar? If you see all the posts you follow on the Blogger dashboard you'll need the first one and if you use Bloglovin' you'll need the second one. Please email me direct if you're still having problems at buttonscraft@btinternet.com Jenny x
