WOYWW -775 - 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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

Not very exciting I'm afraid but....

I do have these new stamps and stencils to play with.

And I found this in the drawer when looking for something else, it might be useful when playing in my Grid journal. I have to say that it must be years old.

Also new Hot Foil Plates. 

I tried my best to get the same ones by Spellbinders but they just aren't available anymore in thne UK so ordered these from Temu. I wasn't keen to use this company but I have to say the product looks good and it arrived quicker than expected and so cheap and free postage too.

Monday post was more Masterboard journal grids.

Not sure whether these will end up as cards yet.

Anyway that's me done for today, sorry there's not much going on.

 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,

Mixed Media Review 2022

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

I'm here again today to show you some mixed media made last year.

I think this year is going to be lots of resin fun as I'm really getting into this now just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can get back in the cabin.

 

These are ring holders but also make good paper weights too or just look nice. 

I had fun seeing what I could put inside the resin including flowers, glitter, mica, beads...what fun!

 

This next one was one of my favourites from last year.

It's amzing the difference light can make.

This one has glitter, mica, shells, pearls and tiny plastic jellyfish.

I loved it as it was but with the light it just jumps into life. This little wooden base is brilliant as it rotates too.

 

 

This is a brilliant mould with so much detail.

 

Easy to release the resin too.

 

I applied metalic paint to it but not sure it's finished yet but what do you think. I think the tentacles need to be darker.

 

Loving this box and so much fun to make. This is a wooden box and resin embellishments.

Details here:

 

Of course I can't leave you without some stamping.

If you like this next project you can find the details here: 

This was a project from the Creative Craft Academy.

 

I joined in with Tracy Evans for her Thrinchies and although I was a bit late starting I finished it all in the end.
 

 

And here it is.....

 

 

 

 

 

If you would like to see more of Thrinchies you can find them here.

I could go on but don't want to over do it so I'll be back soon with more for you.

For now wishing you a very happy and creative week.

 

Hugs

WOYWW - 703 - 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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

 

 

Christmas card making.

You may remember the start of these from last week.

 

They then moved on to the next stage here:

 

 

Colouring, shading and Stickles.

 

I stamped the Robins on some watercolour paper, coloured them and then fussy cut them before attaching to the background piece then added the Stickles Glitter glue.

 

And now they are completed and just waiting to be attached to a card blank.

And this is where I'm up to this week.

Tracy Evans Robin, Tim Holtz dies and pencils then finished with Stickles Glitter glue and white paint splatters. 

Think that's about it really, the rest of the desk has hardly changed.

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,

Masterboard Monday

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

I am here today to show you the final part of the accordion book made with this Masterboard and lots of Tracy Evan's stamps:

 

I'm sure it wont be the last time you see these stencils as they make great backgrounds.

 

After you see this today that's it all finished and I can get on with showing you the Christmas cards thank goodness.

 

But I have to say I have enjoyed putting this together.

It's been a great way to use more of the stamps and play with different techniques. 

 

This is one large Accordion book for sure!

If you missed anything or you would like to see all of these together, you can find them on the Pages at the top of my blog here in Challenges:

 

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

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

I am here today to show you the next two Thrinchie pages using this Masterboard for the background:

Made these with AALL and Create stencils and Oxide inks.

  

And so to the pages. Clocks and Numbers

 

No. 26

It's a bit sad really as there aren't many more to go and I've so enjoyed making these.

 

No. 27

It was fun creasing these ticket styled stamped images and attaching them loosely to give a little extra depth to the page. They look as though they are floating.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday.

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

I am here today to show you another two pages for my accordion book made with this Masterboard:

 

Using AALL and Create stencils.

 

These two pages are so different.

No. 24 and 25 - Daisy and Quirky

N0. 24

No. 25

These two are certainly a Quirky pair for sure.

 

How good would either of these look on a card.

But what do you think?

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

WOYWW -697 - 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 the 
Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

 

 

New dies by Paula Pascual. 

Look forward to playing with these.

Stamping with Tracy Evans stamps but not sure at the moment where it's going. I'm doing this while I wait for the violin bits to set.

 

As we were quite busy when we got back last week I was short of time to show you the lovely ATCs and cards etc that I received so I'm showing you them here today.

 

Some of the ladies were asking about the idea using scraps of papers to create a new Masterboard so I'm including that idea today.

It's a patchwork of strips and could be done with fabric, printed papers, napkins, wrapping papers, washi tape left-over masterboards and rice papers too.

Once they are attached to a background card they can be cut and mounted onto a card blank and then embellishments and sentiments added but of course you could scan the original and then you have a copy to use again later which is great if you are batch making.

These were some I made for Christmas last year.

I actually did this one on A4 rather than A3.

I hope the photographs explain the process.

Once the pieces are attached just trim the edges.

If I've forgotten anything just ask.

I love this technique as I am not good at throwing bits of left-over paper away.

And of course a bit more of my violin project too but I'll make it short.

 

 

You remember the new Octopus mould well I've made some of the tentacles which you can see here attached along the side section but still some way to go yet.

 
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,
