This is the day

Getting creative again ...

It’s been a day of sheer indulgence for me. Smithers has hardly seen me, except when I’ve bowled along to the kitchen at mealtimes to be fed. 

I’ve been closeted in the craft room for a good few hours, while it has undergone a major tidy up. Not before time, either. And the upshot is, of course, that it suddenly feels very conducive to creativity … which is why this die cutting machine (the smaller one of the two that I own) has just been put to use for a change. I haven’t used it much lately because I didn’t have time for fiddly designs when I was bulk producing Christmas cards. 

It’s currently cutting out flower shapes that I’ve stamped with white embossing ink on pink card, then sprinkled the designs with white powder, which is then heated until it melts. Once it has cooled down, it is run through the die cutter to cut the shape out perfectly using the co-ordinating die for that stamp set.
