It's Workdesk Wednesday!

Oh my gosh.... already???? Time to show our desks.... already???? I just remembered last night and hurried to get a picture taken and this post ready. I'm joining up with Julia of the Stamping Ground and this is week 628.

My desk is in prep mode for this morning's video. It's been over a month since I made one but then, being on vacation is a good reason. On the left side of my glass mat is a sheet of directions I was given for a fancy fold card. My friend Linda picked it up for me at our May monthly stamp club meeting. I made it and it is sitting just past the sheet and you can see it sitting in front of the little wooden crate of tools. The paper I used it to the right along with the pieces I've started prepping for the video.

I'm sorry that I didn't get around much last week. Stuff started happening, my dad ended up in the hospital (discharged a couple hours later with a bad flare up of gout), more appts., and a lot of frustration. Hopefully this week will be better. So far, so good.

So, now please head over to Julia's and check out more desks and even some projects.

A Father's Day Llama

I was getting my cards together for Father's Day when I realized I needed 2 more! I wanted to use some left over pieces from prepping for an upcoming class and this card developed.

I started with making the base for this card. I have oodles of little squares from making frames for this month's class. From there I needed to figure out what to put on the cover. I looked through my stash and seen this fun die set by Sizzix that I got from Scrapbook.com. It's no longer available from them probably because it's rather old. (But they do have oodles of great llama products!)

I stamped the sentiment on 2 colors of card stock. I cut out the "HAPPY" from the yellow and layered it on the cream. Boy, that made it pop! And I layered the llama's saddle. Isn't this a hoot! And my Bearly Art Glue was perfect with its tiny tip for gluing the reins on the llama!

Did you get all your cards in the mail on time?

Foiling and Foiling

Last Friday I showed you a card that I foiled over a foiled image. This card was my first attempt that failed but I then tried something different.

My first attempt at foiling over foiling is under the 2 butterflies. A total failure on both. So I foiled the butterflies on separate pieces of card stock and the top one didn't turn out. Seems I need to shim these when I run them through my Platinum. So, I refoiled over them using gold foil. The bottom one turned out wonderful but the top one... well, the gold is rubbing off and letting a lot more of the under foil show. But really, that is pretty cool! The butterflies are from Spellbinders Glimmering Butterflies set and the sentiment is from their More Sentiments set.
