woyww - 894 - 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!


Now what might this be?

Well it was actually Sunday when I completed this card and I've not done much since.
This is the finished card.


It's called a Double In and Out Slider Card.


There are details and more photographs for this card on the Monday post here.

Though I have not been at the desk much I have been on my laptop so Daisy and Alfie have gone Steampunk again thanks to ChatGPT.


And here they are.

Also been doing some felting too.


Not quite finished yet.

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,

Make it on Monday.

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

I am here today to show you some cards from my class at the Craft Club on Saturday:

It is always a pleasure to see the members enjoying making a card that I've prepared for them and here is a selection of what they made. 

Hope you like them.

This is a couple of the ones that I made as their examples:

They stand out at the front but fold completely flat to go in an envelope.


If you like them I have instructions of how to make them here in my pages section under 'Card Fold Techniques'.


You can see with this one that I have die cut the larger section so that you can see the design behing the stand out piece.

And now the ones the club members made:

I warn you there are lots of them.




It's great to see how they made the cards their own.








The next ones are a great idea for finishing the inside too.



I just love them all.



As a teacher it's great to see people making the designs their own and I know they will be passing the techniques on too.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by 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 some cards we made at our Christmas Card Play day:



We all had a great day and made lots of lovely C. Cards.
These are some of the ladies I used to work with and we try to meet up a few times a year. 
None of them are crafters and I have to keep my eye on them Hee! Hee!
I like my pupils to be able to go home with some finished cards but we do spend lots of time chatting too.


We made three different types of card.
The first one above was embossed on card and then attached to the card blank though it is rather difficult to see the details here. 
The patterned layer was die cut and then added and the die used for the tree is from Funky Fossil but not sure what make the bear is but he is so cute.
We finished these with Stickles Glitter glue.


I think the die is by Memory Box.


The second card has a Mechanism which rotates when you open and close the card. I love this type of card, they are so much fun and a great surprise when you open them. The die is by Lawn Faun.


Once you get the mechanism in place you can add the fun bits. Snowflake dies by Tim Holtz.



And finally a decoupage card. 
The fencing is pieces cut from the bottom of the card front and attached to the main part of the card by the two upright pieces.
I layered the figures up with sticky dots but 3D glue could be used too.
Hope you like them.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
