Whats on your Work Desk # 344

Happy New Year everyone!  After the holidays and after  having a crafty break for about two weeks (craft room turned into guest room), I feel charged and ready for a new creative year.  I've got a few fun challenges going on in my face book group and look forward to upcoming planned events.

Here is my Desk today:

I've got thank yous  made and waiting to be written out, I've done a  calendar coloring page and made it into a card , and lots of fun things this week, just visit a couple of previous posts if you are interested!

This is a calendar page, about  5x5.  I purchased this desk top calendar for a few dollars a t a book store going out of business.  I'm not a great color-er, so I thought this might be a good exercise. 
A lot of time for not much results!   

 I did make a card out of it.


For more desk top fun, hop- over to Julias' and join the run the world desk top hop!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love to hear your creative batteries are charged and ready to go Ginny.
I agree with the colouring, that it does take a lot of time - I have two books, one I bought, one I won, and they really are time consuming. hopefully in winter I will have more time.
Blessings

Mm agree with Helen I make cards for them to give as thank you so must make a few..mm you're okay at colouring, Ginny, it's just the image. A weird abstract, yes know it's famous and valuable but not nice image to my mind, Shaz.x

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
