Hullo everyone! yes it is WOYWW - or What is on Your Workdesk Wednesday over here at Julia's ("the Stamping Ground blog")..... and here is my desk right now this late Wednesday afternoon in Oz.
 |
| The detritus from one card made and two cards on the go. Middle image is House Mouse balloons, which required cutting out side the circle - see photo below. On right + centre are leftovers from my sister's 60th yesterday (finished card below) include Bow Easy under ribbon, plus snippets which weren't right in back centre. On the left is another card with watercoloured LOTV image, on the make for card order mentioned last week. |
 |
| Sometimes the image lends itself to cutting outside the image with die.. so here is how it is done. Pencilled area where to cut in from, carefully cut around that to lift the part that has to go over the die and line up okay for cutting. Card not made yet. |
 |
| Blue and white tile card on started last weeks desk for my SiL birthday to see beginning just scroll down. Greeting is a digi one formatted in Word doc. Stamps are Penny Black background ones, except Bamboo which is Victorine Original. Punch is EK Success. |
 | |
| Card made for my sister (family name is "Didi" from Diane) made with CB Textile Folder, Spellbinder Gold labels 4 layered, coloured with SU Bashful Blue, digi greeting, ribbon is courtesy of my friend from from Nth Ireland Joyce of crafty Quills. |
 |
| Here are Didi's other handmade cards - from grandee's Emily (2) and Thomas (4). Cute, huh? |
 | |
| The photo from Oz this week is one from my sister's verandah yesterday morning, when there for her birthday. Someone is catching a wave in centre.. such blue waters! and superb colours of God creation! {a little chillier here now as we head towards winter 10 - 21c temps} |
Well, have to get back to real work :D
and get those cards made.
Commenting

Gorgeous cards all of them but I do particularly like the blue patchwork style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at mine earlier. Just got in from dog walking and the odd bit of gardening so ready to start my desk snooping.
Pleased to see the monkeys are still keeping you company, I must get one of mine out to give you a wave next week.
Happy crafting, Angela x 46
Ok, you have gone and done it! A house mouse stamp that I dont have that I now want! ha ha. So adorable! I have 2 draws of these guys! They multiply! Your sisters card is so beautiful and elegant. Hope she enjoys her day! The grands did an awesome job too! Winnie#50
ReplyDeleteWow! Love love love your cards! That blue shaded and layered lacy one is to die for! I never got the hang of die cutting with an overhanging bit of the image. Yours turned out superb. Thanks for the earlier visit! Hugs and Happy WOYWW! Nan G #8

ReplyDeleteThank you for finding that website for the extravaganza - well done! Some great cards on your desk this week. I particularly like the way you have cut around that balloon! Lovely effect.

ReplyDeleteLove HM and the card for your SIL!
Great flower cards....lovely photo!
Gosh, absolutely fabulous cards Shaz! I adore the pale blue and so delicately layered one especially - I bet Didi loved it!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
Hello Shaz,
ReplyDeleteYour sister's card is amazing. That is the perfect bow! I also like the other card with the zentangles inside the squares - very clever.
I also look forward to seeing the photos of Oz and this one doesn't disappoint. What a wonderful place your sister has - to be able to look out at the water must be so relaxing.
Thanks for visiting me already.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (17)
Both cards are beautiful but the kids cards are adorable! The photo of the beach from your sisters veranda steals the show!!!
ReplyDeleteI came for Friday Smiles and realized I had not been by for WOYWW. I love the WOYWW drawing on the easel on your desk. I love the card you made for your sister. I can see I really need to buy one of those die cutting machines (grin). I think I was #5 this week.
