News from Funky fairy’s

Things have been a little up & down in Funky Fairy land as several of our DT members have left us for pastures new . . . so we wish Ria, Lorraine, Emma, Anne & Joanne all the very best with their “Crafting Adventures” and look forward to them joining in with our NEW challenges . . . yep, a new look challenge blog . . . !
After much deliberation we have decided that we needed a “Winter Spring Clean” and therefore we will be radically over hauling the Funky Fairy’s challenge blog over the next week, so keep popping by there as we will be dropping little hints as to what is happening to the blog and of course, there will be a few surprises too ! !
Taking the above into consideration, there will be no challenge this week but we will be back with avengance next week, Wednesday 24th November with a NEW CHALLENGE, a NEW BLOG and lots of NEW SPONSORS . . . don’t panic the ever so generous Shaz (Head Funky Fairy) is still involved . . . so keep popping over . . . you never know what you might find !

Party hat

Ok so here is the last one for today.  I’ve got to have a rest now as my mojo is leaving me now and I’m not happy with what i am producing.

Day 258 at 365 cards is put a lid on it – incorporate a hat into your card

I have stamped the background design directly onto the card and then coloured with sakura stardust and glaze pens.

Not sure what make the stamps are as they came out of a bin of lots of separate acrylic stamps at the NEC

Cupcake

The challenge is Perfect Pair and the pair is ric rak ribbon and buttons

Here is my card

The background is made by stamping with versamark and clear embossing

Snowflakes and Baubles, Papermania

Patch it

Here is my second card for the day and this is for Day 255 at 365 cards.

Add a patch to your card.

This card was inspired by some pockets that i received yesterday in a blog candy from Kristie.

I stamped the arrow onto some fabric and then stitched around the edges and add this to the pocket.

You can’t see it in this photo but the arrow is also a bit glittery as i went around it with my sakura stardust pen and in real life it looks wonderful

hanging card

I have been so busy this week with cards that i can’t show on my blog yet that i hadn’t had time at all to do the card challenges at 365 cards, so today i am going to be playing catch up so you will see hopefully a few posts today as i complete each card.

Here is my first for today

Day 254  ‘I’m Hung Up’

The challenge is to make an ornament that is also a card

For this card I started by making a circle card and then cut out a circle in the centre.  I used white Stayzon ink to stamp some snowflakes onto a circle of acetate, adhered this to the card and then layered with white cardstock embossed with snowflakes and swiss dots.

The ribbon is some i bought at the NEC last week and i love it because it has wire in it so can be manipulated to what i want.
