Masterboard Monday # Christmas Card Ideas.

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

Here I am dear Blogster  Friends with more ideas for the Christmas cards and another Masterboard for this week.
So here are samples from last week's Masterboard:

Just to remind you, this was the Masterboard.

 

Last week was a bit busy but managed to get some cards made.

I just seem to be able to get cards made quicker when I work with a Masterboard.

 

I just had to turn to one of my favourite techniques for this card.

The snowflakes are suspended on acetate.

Not sure everyone will like the red and black but it certainly makes everything pop!

 

 

 

 

I have included some side views so that you can see the snowflakes better.

 

 

A simple card but I hope effective. To be honest it's what you need if everyone is to get an Angie made card Lol!

 

There will be more samples from this Masterboard to follow during the week and I will be working on....

 the new Masterboard.

 

I normally make these in one A3 sheet but couldn't quite decide whether to use plain distress ink or use mica sprays so I have made two A4 sheets.

 

 

Quite liked the effect on the red and black so decided to do something similar but this time the background is black.

These are really wintry looking.

This seems rather dark for a Christmas card but we shall see Lol!

 

 

 Happy crafting,

Masterboard Christmas Card Ideas.

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

As promised earlier in the week here are the last of the card samples from last week's Masterboard, hope you like them.

Just a reminder, here is the Masterboard I used for these cards.

My aim for this set was speed (I have to admit, I have hardly been at home this week) so they are all quick to make.

For this card I stamped the white card blank with the same snowflake stamps that were used on the Masterboard and then made the topper with a small section of the masterboard and some of Tim Holtz snowflake dies.

 

More stamping and die cutting.

It's interesting how adding different coloured card, though they match with the masterboard, it has the effect of altering the colour scheme completely.

 

 

 

And here I have used up the negative section of a piece of left over mirri card.

I have embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder for added interest and mounted it on top of the masterboard.

 

Hope you find these quick card ideas useful.

 

More ideas to follow next week and a new Masterboard.

 

Happy crafting and have a lovely weekend,

A big welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

Hi Blogging friends, hope you are all well.

As promised on Monday, just a little something extra from last week's Masterboard.
 
Remember this card from Monday?

 

For the next card I have used the negative part after cutting out the snowflake.

This die comes with it's own embossing folder and I embossed the Masterboard and then attached the negative card shape over it and finished the card off with gems.

I have a couple more cards from this collection which will follow.

Mini Wallet Brag Book.

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

 

 

Hi Bloggiests  hope you are all blog happy today.

 

 

The Wallet Book!

As promised.

So many of you asked to see the finished project so here it is.

 

The nice thing with this wallet is that the main part only takes one 12" x 12" sheet of card to make it, though you do need extra to make the flaps, extra pages and pockets.

The patterned papers are by Prima and are called Stationer's Desk but it would look just as good with other styles of paper or your own Masterboards.

 

Anyway here it is.

I would love it if you could leave a comment to let me know what you think of it.

 

If you want to see a tutorial for making this, go here or here.

There are lots of photographs today but I have kept the text short so all you need to do is feast your eyes.

Hope you enjoy the visit.

Flaps, ATCs and Pockets.

Hope you have enjoyed looking and if you need any further information just leave me a comment or send an email.

 

Happy crafting,

Altered MDF Clock.

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

Hi Blogging friends, Angela here to show you what I've done with one of the Clock blanks from Tando Creative.

 

The first thing I did was to draw round the back section on Christmas paper and cut it out. I also did this with the front section too.

 

Here they are below.

 

                 

 

I used various equipment to trim and smooth the edges.

 

I also applied crackle paint to the section at the top and text embossing with texture paste.

I gently rubbed over the grunge paste when dry with gold embossing paste, not too much as I wanted some of the white to show.

 

Next I added the embellishments to complete the design.

Most of these were made using dies and were then attached with glue.

 

This is the clock with the mechanism attached,

 

and close-ups.

 

Looks great with the clock mechanism attached.

 

It also has stickles glue and glaze to finish it off and a few crystal gems.

 

Hope you will pop over to The Mirror Crack'd where you will see what my Teamies have made for this challenge.

 

Bye for now and happy crafting,

WOYWW 283 # What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Hi Workdesk friends.
Here we are with yet another Wednesday.
I'm sure the weeks have gone faster since I joined in with WOYWW!!!
How can this be Lol!
Anyhow.....

Angela here 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 and our dear host Julia will explain and all will be revealed.

 

I know that lots of you are keen to see the finished Wallet Book but as you are here to see my desk I have put the photographs of this project onto a separate post so it's up to you whether you visit the other one which will show all the pages in the Wallet Book.

I will be posting it tomorrow.

 

 

But now it's back to my desk Lol!

 

This is my desk for this week and I am working on my next set of Masterboard Christmas cards (hoping to get enough cards made!).

 

I was a bit surprised when I looked at this photograph as the desk actually looks quite tidy, very strange Lol! I think someone has been and tidied up when I wasn't looking.

 

Anyway, if you look to the left you can see the left-over piece of last week's Masterboard (posted some card samples made with this earlier in the week).

Resting on it is a piece of Mirri card I have die-cut ready to use.

On the craft mat is the finished wallet book, you can just see the front cover.

Next to the wallet book are the plates for my Cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder on top.

To the far right is a notebook, I am making a list ready for my visit to the NEC Hobbycraft event.

 

 

 

Apart from the usual stuff, towards the back is a Clarity Christmas tree stamp and some other Tim Holtz dies, I have enlarged the photo so you can see them better.

 

 I am going to The NEC Hobbycraft event tomorrow and can't wait, it should be a good day.

 

Hope you have a good week too.

 

Happy crafting,
