Funky Friday 50

Ok so the reason im on the blog in the first place is to take part inthe wonderful funky friday challange and this week its celebrating its 50th week!! so here is my entry, i made a treat box with cloase to cocoa which i have decorated with some "butterfly cakes" ^^ my cakes are inked with chocolate chip ink (outline), barley banana sponge with pretty in pink cake cases and sprinkles. My butterflys on top where cut out from my flittering by roller (also pretty in pink ink) Ive used pretty in pink ribbon for the middle and i have used "yummy" stamp set (from last years sale-a-bration) also inked in chocolate chip. the handle has been punched with the stampin up scallop edge punch and (although hard to see) the handle also has a whisper white strip on it decorated in pretty in pink ink with a stamp from the "bundle of joy" stamp set. I also have some chocolate chip card stock in the background ^^




Also i couldnt resist trying out abi's tutorials on making flowers using the heart and flower punch. I used a burgandy tissue paper i had to make the big petals and some very vanilla card stock for the inner petals, the inner petals are laced with dazzling diamonds glitter and the whole thing is held together by a pink gemstone brad. ^^

Update

Hey, so ive been a long time off the site, but i have by no means stopped my craftyness ^^ im a bit busy at uni at the moment so dont suddenly expect regular updates on here but i thought whilst im taking part in this weeks funky friday challage i would at the same time show you some of the stuff ive done over the past year (well the stuff i have photos of) they are in no particular order im afraidrecently for my boss's birthday (he's disabled and loves teddies) ive actually made it to corrdinate with his living room which has recently been redecorated :D

Although hard to tell (as my camera is.... not very good...) there is glitter on the rose (from "a rose is a rose" stamp set) also used is the sweet always designer series paper and happy everything stamp set
These two cards also have no owners as of yet but quite a few female birthdays comming up so its only a matter of time. The purple butterfly card uses "bold butterfly" definatly decorative stamp set (now retired) and flittering by jumbo roller wheel. ive also used 5 petal flower punch and some patterned paper (cheep stuff not stampin up but only because i had no purple stampin up paper :( )


Inside and out of my card, no one in mind, just a male birthday card using crazy for cupcakes

This is my mums mother's day card (which i still havent got round to sending and might as well give to her in person when im home next week ><) main card stock is bravo burgandy which went lovely with the regal rose colour on the designer series paper "sweet always" i used the stamp set "simply said" (a favourite of mine) and the new co-ordinating heart punch ^^ (courtesy of my absolutely wonderful sister Rosinamaystamp@blogspot.com ) This one was for my brother-in-law lloyd's birthday last year although im pretty sure at this stage he was probably pretty tired of seeing stamps ><>


This card i still have had no use for but i loved making it using the bundle of joy stamp set and nursery letters roller, for the moment ill keep it and ill probably end up giving it to one of the mums i case load for next year :) the ribbon i found in a bargain bin at a local craft store :)


This was for one of my nephews birthdays (malachi) i used a variety of stamp sets including choo-choo unfrogettable bundle of joy and just beachy.

This card i made for my dad (i cant rememeber if it was fathers days or his birthday card ><) but i used "for father" stamping set from stampin' up and found these really neat screw brads in a local craft shop ^^


So this card i made about a year ago for my (ex) "uncle-in-law" for his 40th birthday. he is very into all the "jive" dancing and things so i made him a bit of a themed card and the woman's skirt moved as well with the tilting/sliding technique. The image i got online off google somewhere but the rest is stampin up card stock supplies and in the background is summer picnic designer series paper (which i think is now retired??)
