This is my desk last Saturday at stamp club. I throughly enjoyed going and chatting and doing some crafting. I have not been to this stamp club since July last year due to work and family commitments and of course camping commitments LOL.
Stamping Daze stamp club sends out their newsletters as an option via snail mail and members offer to decorate envelopes for this purpose. So I volunteered and made 2 months worth whilst chatting and eating the clubs birthday cake.
Of course the space I was crafting on was the size of 2 A4 papers so I was sorely restricted. I had my stamp pads on the floor beside me and baby wipes (to clean my stamps) under my chair.
Very interesting to see the blot paper I was using to protect the table turned into a very interesting background of colours and designs that I will be using on a future card I create.
I used eco envelopes in this case, some colours did not work on brown envelopes so I had to restamp them using a darker colour.
I used ImagineCrafts/Tsukineko Memento Inks.
On my desk are my recent purchases, a variety from Darkroom Door and Tim Holtz and card kits from Michelle's Cards and Stamps when I went to stamp day the previous Saturday.
Thanks to a fellow WOYWWer Lisca Meijer I have now signed up to Postcrossing and sent off my first 5 cards. Can't wait to receive my first postcards and share it with you all.
Joining Julia and her Stamping Ground to see more desks around the world.
There's something special about snail mail, such as those beautiful envelopes that you made for your clubs newsletter. That background that came out of your stamping will truly be fun to use in a latter project. Happy WOYWW! #53

Your desk is so fun today! I just want to dive right in there and stamp and stencil. Happy WOYWW! Sandy Leigh #46
ReplyDeleteWell, congratulations! You are now a fellow Postcrosser! I hope you find it just as fascinating as I do. I love looking in my postbox to see if there is a card. And for my part I try to please the person I'm sending to so I read their wishes and try to meet them.
ReplyDeleteYour stamps are beautiful. It is really effective to stamp in different colors.
Have a great week,

Love the envelopes but the blott paper is quite exciting and I hope you will make something with it, would love to see the results. Nice new stash too.
