I can't believe that most of the stuff on my work surface is to do with the baubles embossed Christmas card I made last night. I did quite a bit of experimenting with embossing, sanding, inking etc - the finished card is in the post below - but now I see it in daylight I don't think I even like it, so I might do some more experimenting. One of the things I tried was embossing straight on to the front of an A6 card, but I obviously was more tired that I realised because I ended up with debossing instead of embossing. Oh well, you can't make an omelette without cracking eggs.
In the first photo you can see the Paper Pretties stamp that I won in a recent challenge - I'll blog about that next.
So, it's time for a tidy up ... and then I can start all over again!Apologies to those who show their workspaces on WOYWW - I just don't get round to leaving comments because there are now so many blogs to visit. However, I am very grateful for all those who leave comments for me - I really am.
Oh, and some of you were wondering whether I'm taking on the 300 Christmas cards commission - yes, I am - the initial card needs preparing on computer, including a photo which I've already altered successfully - and then printing, so no actual 'crafting' involved.
Hi ya Hazel

They don't have those commission shops in the US, at least none that I know of. I would be really tired by the time I made 300 cards. I made 100 pieces (not cards) for a swap once and swore never to do it again. Good luck. And happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteLove how you use the floor as well - you want to see mine - we can never have enough space can we.
ReplyDeleteWow! Aren't you busy! Do the shelves below the right side of your desk slide in and out? That's clever. Patsy from

Your storage system allows you to make a mess on your desk without actually making a mess at all - you just have to put the boxes away! Genius, Hazel! Hope the playing yields results you like...i expect you'll develop a whole new technique!! Good news about the card commission, am really pleased to hear that.
