WOYWW # 423 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!

Oxide samples waiting to be made into cards.

Tim Holtz stencils, not sure yet which I will use.

The yellow things if you've not seen them before are painters pyramids and are a god send when you need to elevate your work above desk level. Towards the back are some very small square card blanks.

 

A card I made earlier which can be seen here.

And in the box are some Craftwork card Candi which I used on this card.

 

The black card bottom right is a die cut. Trying out a new die that I received this week.

 

Not on the desk but got these this week too.

Look forward to playing with those.

 

 

 

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.

 

If you visited me last Wednesday you will remember that I had a parcel, new Oxides! Set 2. and I am here today to show you some samples made with these.

 

So I had a play with them.

And these are samples but I haven't used all the colours so more samples will follow soon..

 

This set seems brighter than the first set and I love them.

 

So far I have used about half of the new colours together. I hope to find time soon to complete the tests with the new set and also combine some of the colours from set 1.

 

 However this is Masterboard Monday so here is a card I've made with one of the new samples.

I cut the sample to the required size and then stamped on it with a text stamp and a Butterfly stencil by Memory Box (Flutter).

I've not used Tim's birds for a while but I think he works quite well on this card but what do you think?

 

 

I combined the finished Masterboard with stamps and dies by Tim Holtz and added some Craftwork Cards Candi embellishments.

Oh and I put a small blob of Glossy Accents on the eyes too.

 

 

The Masterboards may take a while to complete but once you have them you can make cards fairly quickly and that's what I am off to do right now!

 I would love to hear your comments.

 Many thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,

Friday Fun Day with smiles.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Angela here again to show you what I've been up to this week.

Many of you already know that I was out last Friday so I apologise if I didn't get round to visiting you.
I was at the Hobbycraft Show at the NEC Birmingham.
This is the entrance which was decorated with a knitted beach, how cute is that.

 

Quite busy here as you can see.

 

This was on the Marbling For fun Stand.

So pretty.

 

I also had a walk round the exhibition area.

 

Where I found:

 

Rusting on Canvas.

 

Gorgeous landscape wall hanging.

Love it, such a talented lady.

 

There was so much sewing going on, it was an absolute pleasure to see so many talented artists at work with Textiles rather than all the paper crafting that used to be here.

It has definitely levelled out now.

I think there is as much textiles based products as there are Paper Crafting.

 

They also had an exhibition of Japanese costumes.

 

 

Gorgeous.

 

Felted waistcoat.

So love felting and really want to have a go at Needle felting which is much less messy than the wet felting I used to do.

 

 

Fusing fabrics.

So love these techniques.

 

I wonder how many of you know who this artist is?

He has certainly written a few books and is well known for his creative textiles work.

 

 

I will wait and see if you know who he is and give you the answer next week.

Such a tease Lol!

 

So love the detail on this work too.

 

 

I guess that's enough for one day.

 

Have a great weekend everyone and

 thanks for stopping by.

 

 And if you would like some more smiles you just need to pop over to see what our other friends have been doing this week at Annie's for
"This Week's Smiles" and you can also share your  smiles too.

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 stamps on there towards the left that I'm working on, exploding box on the left nearly at the danger point again. Bits of left over Masterboard in the little box to the right and that shaving foam still waiting patiently but more importantly,
What's in the parcel!!!!

 

So as not to keep you in suspense I have opened it.

 

So excited!

 

New set of Distress Oxide ink pads, yes it's set 2 and I can't wait to play.

So that's me done for today cos.
I'm off for a good play with my new toy.

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

 If I can stop playing with my new toy I will go and see what everyone else is up to.

Have a great woyww

Back to the Craft Barn with Teachers Cards.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi everyone just here to let you know this is another project for the Craft Barn and it's now live.

Been working with  Woodware Stamps and here is a peek of how I used them, if you would like to see how I made this then pop over to The Craft Barn for full details.

I had to smile when I knew we were going to do this project as I used to be the one receiving these and now I'm the one making a card for teachers, so here it is:

This were I started but if you would like to see how I made it you need to pop over to The Craft Barn.

I would love to hear what you think about my project and any comments will be gratefully received.

 

Look forward to seeing you at The Craft Barn.

 

Happy crafting,

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge Tic Tac Toe.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi! back again to tell you that it's time for another challenge over
at Crafty Cardmakers.

 Marelene is hosting today and our challenge is Tic Tac Toe.

As usual you can enter anything you fancy, it doesn't have to just be cards, as long as it meets the challenge, and doesn't exceed the 15 total challenges entered rule! 

Hope you will join in.
And here is my project for the challenge:

Not the easiest card to photograph as I embossed the images but it certainly is different.

I used Paper Artsy stamps by Tracy Scott.

I had lots of left-over bits from an earlier project and just thought this was a good time to use them up.

I hope you will pop over to see what the rest of the DT have been up to and maybe join in the challenge.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with too.

 Happy crafty card making.
