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 had a relaxing day trimming the postage stamp collection.

Then attached them to an A3 sheet of card. So that I would get a good arrangement I sorted them first into sets.

                         I spread each set in turn around the card.

And this is where I ended up, then scanned the masterboard at A4.

Next I decorated the card blanks.

I used colours from the postage stamps, gold and blues.

Using a Woodware stamp I went over the front and back of the white card blanks using Tim Holtz Distress inks.

Next, I used a Woodware stamp to create these tags.

I've finished the tags slightly different for each card mainly because I couldn't decide what to use.

And then had fun putting everything together. 

With this one I added a few coloured gems, some Stickles Glitter Glue and the blue ribbon. I actually left the white border on the scanned piece and edged it with blue ink.

Also altered the position of the masterboard too.

Couldn't resist going round the back, just love doing this it just makes the card that much more special.

So there we are all complete and now I'm off to try something similar with my collection of Christmas postage stamps.

There is one more version of this card which you can find here if you missed it.

I would love to hear your comments.

Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

WOYWW - 574 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"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!

A collection of dies clutter the left side and my tub of gloves.  

An envelope holds bits of left over Masterboard and behind them another of those tube boxes which I've just started decorating.

On the right hand side nothing much has changed though you can just see a Weiredfish label which I thought I might keep though I have no idea why!

Just to the back are a couple of new pebbles.

Now what do you see.

I'll tell you next week what I plan to make with them.

But this week you can see this.

The first card made with the postage stamps that I showed you last week.

The sentiment is by Altenew and the tag and stamped images by Woodware.

Hope you like it.

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,

WOYWW - 573 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

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

Hi Workdesk friends. 
Here we are for another Wednesday at the Workdesk. 
I am here again to show you:
"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!

I think we should have the UFO challenge more often as it gave me the push to use some stuff that's been sitting around for ages.

Some of you commented about the postage stamps that I had collected. 
I am being honest now that I didn't realise that I had so many. 
I Bought some at a country show from a charity, I remember that and I always take them off envelopes at Christmas but I have a packet from W H Smiths and do not remember when I got those at all. 

However I have been good and started doing something with them and I've created a kind of Masterboard thingy to get me started. I have to say it took a while putting this together but I found it quite relaxing really.

I'm working on a card but not quite there yet as I've had a few distractions but my mum is picking up nicely.

Anyway the desk has a few dies by Poppy stamps and Memory Box which I'm using and other than that it's all the usual bits and pieces.
On the left some rubber gloves, my daylight lamp, some enamel dots and a scanned copy of the new mastrboard. 
On the right are various types of glue and my box of tools and Baby wipes.

Hope to have something made for you to see next week.

For now stay safe.

 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.

"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!

Some of you will almost certainly notice something new here today.

The plastic box towards the left is full of these.

Stamps and loads of them just got to decide what to do with them though I think I have a plan.

These two are my UFOs for today.

I've been using up this background paper and thought I would use the die to layer over the top as I've had it ages and never used it. It's by Clarity. The stamps for this Masterboard are by Hero Arts and they are very old so that's another forgotten thing.

It was while I was die cutting that I wondered whether I could use the negative pieces on another card so I attached a piece of double side sticky sheet to them while they were still in the die and then applied Gilding Flakes to the uncovered sticky areas and that's how I created the background then die cut the top with Kraft card and layered everything together.

A few small butterflies, Stickles glitter glue and a Tim Holtz sentiment and the card is complete.

Now back to the desk.

The new thing is the glass mat by Tonic for Tim Holtz. 

I've wanted one for a while and Craft Stash have them at half price at the moment so it seemed like a good time to buy one. They are rather shiny.

This little box is full of proverbs, thought they might give me some ideas for my journal. Another old product that has finally seen the light of day.

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
