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:

If you were around last week you may have seen this before.

If you didn't the information for making it can be found here:

The next part was to make the balloon dogs that I planned to use for the decoration of the card.

This is a stamp by Kate Crane which I then heat embossed which gives a good black line when the colour is added.

Used Tim Holtz watercolour pencils to colour and finished with Stickles Glitter glue on the eyes.

And so to putting it all together. 

I've cut out a piece of the cloud card and edged it with blue ink but you could layer it onto blue card too.

Not sure how clear this is but I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of clear Vellum and folded it round the design. 

Next I added the gold cord to the balloon dogs before attaching them to the cloud design and then to the card blank.

I couldn't resist adding another dog to the inside and a nice sentiment.

I had splattered the clouds with white paint but just felt it needed something else so added a few sequins too.

And that's all for now.

Hope you like it, I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Masterboard Monday review of 2025.

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

I am here to show you some projects from last year.

I like to review my projects before getting started with the New Year. 

Oh! and a little rest after Christmas. I think it's good to relax and put the Crafting on hold for a while and come back to it refreshed, oh! and pack all the Christmas craft stuff away too:

So here goes:

The clouds did become a bit of an obsession last year using stencils stamps and embossing folders.

This is a gorgeous embossing folder.

And yes one of my obsessions last year were the clouds.

Such beautiful starting points for a design.

And of course they make great cards too.

Oh! forgot these.....another obsession Lol!

Who doesn't love balloon dogs.

If you like these there are details here, here, here, here and here.

I would love to hear your comments.

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:

This will be the last cloud card for a while but I can't promise!

This is a Kinetic card today.

I've used a 6" x 6" card blank, Holographic base card and diecut clouds over the masterboard.

I embossed the sides of the cloud card.

The inks are all Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.

Kate Crane Balloon dog and finished with Stickles Glitter Glue and gems.

The sentiment is by Uniko Stamps.

I would love to hear your comments.

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you what I've been up to but surprisingly not a card or a Masterboard but journalling today:

My new Dina Ledger Journal just has to be used so obviously it had to be clouds......sorry yes that's more clouds!

Washi Tape around the edge to start off and the Cloud stencil, this one is by Lawn Fawn.

Distress Oxide inks and the stencil and applied the colour with a blending brush.

I love this already.

I removed the washi tape but you can leave it on if you want, depends on what the plan is to complete it.

I added some Stickles Glitter glue at this stage.

And then had a play with some Die cut balloons while the glitter glue was drying.

I used some Clarity card to die cut the balloons.

And this is how I finished it.

The sentiment is Art by Marlene for Studio Light.

Be sure there will be more to follow in the journal soon.

I would love to hear your comments.

WOYWW - 845 - 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, this was Monday!

I decided I needed to open the new ledger journal. That's a cloud stencil you can see on the top and I've  placed Washi tape around the edge before adding the detail and the Oxides and brushes are at the ready.

This is today and you'll get to see the finished page soon and hopefully more to follow.

I've also made another card which may look like the one you saw last week but it was made in a different way with a cloud die instead of a stencil and the details are on the Monday post here: if you're interested.

I used the water brushes on my desk to colour the balloon dogs.

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,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you a card made with cloud dies.

I've named this post differently today as this is more of a background than a Masterboard.

You might have guessed what I've been doing here!

If you're fed up of seeing clouds then I'm sorry but there's more here today.

No stencils though, cloud dies this time and started by cutting out several strips.

If you're interested Lawn Fawn do a nice cloud die set though this one was by a company called Sunny Studio.

I coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks and then had a play around at positioning them.

This is a slightly different arrangement from above but you can photograph the layout you like best and then use that to position and glue them down.

I coloured the top of a piece of card with ink and then arranged the clouds starting at the top, glueing them down each time. 

I did add a little more ink at the bottom to finish it off.

I have made two of these as the first one was too thick when the clouds were layered up, so your choice of card for the clouds needs to be quite thin or it's difficult to trim and tidy up the edges.


And this is where I ended up.

Stickles Glitter Glue dabbed on, Kate Crane Balloon dogs and a simple sentiment and the cards complete.

I left the clouds slightly open at the top edges so that I could fit the balloon dogs in some of them.

Hope you like it.

I would love to hear your comments.
