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 ><>

Hey

Hi ive been off for a while, dealing with university and other personal life matters. BUT the world does not stop turning for me and so i return with vengence and will be posting pictures of cards i have made over the past months (those which i took photos of) and ahh if only the weather had been this nice one year ago!! *sigh* oh well! keep an eye out for my pictures, im also trying to use all my stamp sets to proove i got them with reason. I hope you like what i have come up with! ^^ see you all sooon xxx

Cards!! at last cards!!

At last I have a chance to put some pictures up of the cards i have been making recently (there are not that many pictures but hey see what you think!) After this is over i will be off to make a card for my neice (shes 5 tomorrow!!) it will be red and butterflys... thats as far as my planing goes lol! any way on with the show:

Some little sample cards i made for the people who ordered betterware with me i made about 12 all together and added a little note inside inviting them to have a party! (with my sister of course not me im not a demo) i used my biotanical blooms set with a variety of colours, i quite liked the pinks and purples!

This is the latist card I have done which was last week using my punces and small peice of designer paper in the background, something yummy stamp set and a small brad for the flowers, i scored the flowers from the middle outwards just to give them a 3D effect.

University

(cue to blog hop now) Thank you to everyone for the lovely congratulation cards i recived!! ^.^ as most people will know by now i got my place at Bournemouth University (on to be a midwife) all i have to do now is pass the course im on...
