WOYWW - 871- 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!

Playing with the Funky Fossil papers that I showed you last week.

When I'm not feeling my best I find that these collage grids quite relaxing, just ripping up paper and sticking it down without thinking. 

Just take three different papers and use every bit no matter how small.
I finished them off with some silver ribbon but you can be sure more will happen here soon.

I often cut them out when I need a quick card and use them as toppers with a sentiment or an image to finish them off.

I started feeling a bit more like myself this week and so spent a bit more time at the desk.

I have finished (I think) the Valentine card.....but the one who will receive it wont see it here so no worries.

I used the stamps from the Creative Stamping magazine and coloured them with Tim Holtz watercolour pencils.

The heart ballon die is one I got from Temu and the falling hearts is a die by Sizzix.

I found some other heart dies in my stash and used those to decorate the inside of the card.

I couldn't help but put Snoopy onto one of the rotating dies, bit obsessed with it at the moment but it just adds a bit more fun to a card.

The spotty papers are from my stash, I think they were Crafter's Companion.

So that's me done for today.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you will pop over and visit the other desks.

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

Have a great woyww 

and 
happy crafting,

So here is my desk for today!

I can't really say I've been doing much as this awful cold wiped me out but I am starting to feel a bit better.

These are the stamps from the Creative Stamping magazine. They are so cute.

You may notice the hearts die on the right.

I'm working on a Valentine's card but not got very far with it since the cold started but this is where I am at the moment.

Done a bit on the front too.

The heart die is a Sizzix Tim Holtz one.

And thought you might like these too.

My Birthday present from me.......well that's my excuse anyway.

They are from Funky Fossil, look forward to playing with these when I feel in the mood.

Thinking about Neet too, pleased you're picking up X

So that's me done for today.

So here is my desk for today!

Back to the collage again.

I've done a couple in this colour.

It's relaxing just playing with bits of paper with no thought of what it will end up being used for.

Maybe some time soon I'll decide what to do with some of them but for now I'm just enjoy some play time.

So that's me done for today, nice and quick just how we like it.

And before I go, wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day.

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

Masterboard Monday and Use it or lose it.

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

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

I know you may have seen this Masterboards before here: where you can find the instructions for making.

 

 

 And I'm still finding uses for it obviously!

 

As we are coming to the end of February, the month of love I have an appropriate card for you today.

I'm using a very old embossing folder that has been sitting around unused for too long.

I have used this on a large tag then rubbed over the card with the same Lumberjack Plaid Oxide ink using a blending tool.

I've used a Sizzix heart die to cut a section of the tag and replaced it adding a dark red heart below to give shadow and make the design stand out more.

The sentiment is a wax seal. I love these but don't use them often enough. 

To complete the design I've added some red Stickles Glitter glue. 

I still have some of this Masterboard left so can't promise you wont see it again some time.

I would love to hear your comments and wishing you a very happy and creative week.

Hi Workdesk friends.

Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

 

 

 

I'm sorry the desk looks a bit boring today as I'm between projects again. 

 

 

I am working on a Fancy Fold card and going to use these fun stamps from Studio Light.

Probably be using some of these papers too by Craft Box who are sadly no longer trading.

The exploding boxes might have exploded actually but it's difficult to tell as you cannot see the boxes right now. Some of the stash I have finished with, some is in use now or waiting for the next project to start.

 

However, I do have this completed.

It's not even the end of the month and I have my journal page to show you.

This was put together with stamping and bits of left over Masterboard.

 

This was a very old wood mounted stamp that I have had for years but how nice is that?

If you want to see more about this it was Monday's project and can be seen here.

 

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 but might be a bit late getting round everyone as we have to go for another meeting today for my mother's next care package.

Have a great woyww

happy crafting,

Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.

So here is my desk for today!

 

 

Just kidding! that was earlier in the week but it looks tidy for once.

 

I'm working with some new stamps and some very old patterned papers as part of my 'Use It or Lose It' project.

 

This is a Colour Catcher that I put in the washer with a red blanket and it came out like this. I could hardly throw it away right! but it's another one for the Use it or lose it box.

 

Heart stamps waiting to be put away.

 

You have to love these beauties by Studio Light.

And some old patterned papers by Craft Box and that's my desk for today. 

However a little something extra....

 

 

This was my Monday Masterboard project. Details can be found here if you are interested. Of course, if you haven't made your Valentine card it's a bit late now Lol!

A little something for the inside too.

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.

Masterboard Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card made with this Masterboard:

I have used lots of red Tim Holtz Oxides for this Masterboard. As it's February and nearly Valentine's Day these colours seemed like the right ones to choose right!

 

 

This masterboard couldn't be simpler. 

Just take your favourite inks and a brayer. Roll the brayer over the ink pad and then onto the card horizontally and vertically. I repeated this and then sprayed water onto the left over ink on the brayer which gives a more splattered effect and more interesting texture.

 

Next some stencilling for added detail.

 

Just keep applying the brayer and stencilling until you're happy with the finish.

I don't want too much detail on this piece as I may add more effects after cutting up sections for the next stage but went ahead and added one more stencil pattern.

 

I have kept the colours similar so as not to overdo the detail as I may add to it later.

 

 

And now it's time to play.

 

I've started by cutting up part of the Masterboard but don't worry I'm not going to finish all this today.

 

 

Just in case you're interested I have cut the tag book using this die set.

 

 

 

You may remember me using this set before if not you can see it here:
 

For this first card I have used the Tim Holtz Kraft-Core to layer the Masterboard.

 

I have had this for some time and no idea why it has taken me so long to use it!
 

As if that's not bad enough this is another Tim product which has been sitting waiting but it's out of the packet now.

 

And so to the first finished project, a card today.

I've used the Masterboard and the Kraft card to die cut and layer up the heart and the background. The arrow was brown kraft card and I rubbed gold gilding wax onto the feather and arrow. Finished it with the Valentine sentiment.

 

 

I completed the inside with a sentiment and some small hearts.

 

Hope you like it.

 

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy Valentine's Day,

Angela x

 

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Allsorts challenge Week 715 - A/G with option All about Hearts  winners 24th Feb.

 

Dragonfly Dreams: February Challenge - Love finishes 3rd March

Happy Valentine's Day.

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

I am here today to show you a card for Valentine's Day.

I started by embossing and die cutting the white card with spotty hearts then a variety of heart dies were used to create the windows. 

I've layered this over a piece of Valentine paper and a sheet of red card for the base.

Next added Stickles glitter glue to some of the white hearts and then enamel dots.

The sentiment is a rub on that has been hanging around for ages just waiting for this moment.

This is an unusual card for me as I don't often do CAS cards but I do like it and hope you do too.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and wishing you a happy Valentine's Day,

Angela x
