Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week which is actually not a lot as |I've been full of cold again and not feeling like doing very much.

Saturday is not my favourite day as that's the day we do the housework and Sunday we go to the supermarket as it's a bit quieter that day. It was during the weekend that my sore throat started.

Monday I slept for most of the afternoon as I felt rubbish, another of those awful colds has attacked me again.

Daisy and Alfie have been enjoying the sun again. 

Alfie thinks this is his spot but Daisy has worked out how to get up there now so he's having to share it.

Tuesday is needle felting day but this week we had a zoom meeting which was nice to get to know a few of the other members of the club.

Wednesday is woyww as some of you will know.

Thursday went to see my dear friend who's been away for a while and Friday, well I'm here talking to you.

Sadly no photos for all this though to be honest you wouldn't want to see me as I've been sniffling most of the week.

So all I have this week are a few dog funnies but I'm sure they will make you smile.

Here's why your dog's so naughty.

Of course we wouldn't have them any other way.

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

WOYWW - 827 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesdasy.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Some of you may remember this style of card from last week.

And yes this is another.

The card for this one was 'Craft O'clock'

Some of you were interested in the cards that I showed you last week and I've put the instructions for the Bow Card on my Monday post if you're interested.

It's here:

I've sent copies of the instructions to Angela, Neet and Cindy. Hope they arrrived okay.

On my desk today I'm showing you the W/Accordion card again and the instructions for making it for all my friends that asked about it otherwise you may want to leave now Lol!

When you see it like this it looks much simpler, which it is you just need to get the folds in the right place.

I've decorated mine with matching ephemera.

This is from a set by Stamperia.

Lots of stickles Glitter glue too.

This is a plain piece of card on the back of the base to add further sentiments and messages.

Even looks good from the back and it's so good to see both sides of the card and remember if your patterned card is too light just attach the base to a 5" x 7" card blank.

Inside Pop Out Card ( Accordion / W Style) materials:

·        5”x 7” Card Blank if used / needed.

·        4 ¾” x 6 ¾” Base card any colour or white/black.

·       12” x 12” Decorative double sided card/paper ideally 180-200gsm so not too thick and cut to 12” x 6 ½” .

·        Inside sentiment Panel piece size depends on the front panel but could be placed on the back too.

Instructions for making:

Score the double sided card/paper at 1 ½” - 4 ½” - 6” - 7 ½”

Attach the 4 ½” right side to the base piece and fold the next piece (3) towards it and crease well. Fold the next crease going V and M until complete.

It is possible to attach the base to a 5” x7” card blank if the patterned card is not strong enough to let the card stand up but I did not find it a problem.

I added a plain panel piece to the inside to add a sentiment which is not seen when the card is closed but could be smaller or attached to the back or inside the 5” x 7” if used.

The size of this will depend on how you decorate the front as I like the inside panel to be hidden when the card is closed.

·        Add you chosen embellishments to complete the card.

Hope that’s useful but you can just send me a

 message if you need help with it x

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

Use it or lose it on Fold Cards.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

I am here today to show you a card made with more long lost papers:

This is called a 'Springy Pop-Out Bow Shaped Card'.

Front

I've used some  'Crafter's Companion' papers for this a Tim Holtz die to cut the embellishments and the stamps are by.

Back

Hope these photographs and instuctions help to explain the stages in making.

More information can be found on the Pages under Card Folds above this post.

Hope you find this useful.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with Smiles.

  Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

This is going to be a difficult one this week as hubby has been away getting ready for his school visits to check the art marks and I've been looking after the dogs and catching up with some spring cleaning, such an exciting week.

However I did go to the Craft Club Saturday and we were making an interesting card.

Good turn out this month.

This is my desk.

My card nearly is finished.

They look more complicated than they actually are but take a while to get all the bits ready to put together.

A few more samples from the ladies.

The weather has been nice here this week so we have been out in the garden (that's me and the dogs)

Can you see who's hiding in amongst the grass and plants?

It's Alfred in his favourite place.

Back in the house Alfie thought he could have some peace here... he's wrong as Daisy decided she wanted this space.

It's all mine!!!

She is so lucky that Alfie is such a softy.

A few funnies to finish...

And that's dogs for you!

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

woyww - 826 - What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

    Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Workdesk friends. 
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".

If you don't know what this is all about then please visit Sarah's Craft Shed and our host Sarah will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

As I've not done much else since Saturday I'm showing you my Craft and Chat club desk.

This is one of the cards I made.

I do have the instructions if anyone's interested. They take a while to prep and put together but it's nice to make something different. 

I was surprised at how well they stand up.

And these are some made by other memebers of the club.

I was busy on Monday if you like collage Masterboards you will like this one.

 And this was last week.

I think Angela ( Crafting with Jack) is probably right the card I showed you last week is more of a W fold rather than Z fold.

I'm still working on these but had lots of distractions so still need to add the ephemera.

So that's me done for today.

 Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and join in the visits around the other desks.

 I'm off now to see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,
