Unedited...{aka keeping it real}

Hi there. I am busy working on a custom order today, and needed a little break. I have been snapping a few quick pics of the process today as I go along so thought I would share for something a little different... so you can get a little insight into what goes into each handmade order and each card.

First up, I cut my cardstock using a guillotine, I then use this little contraption to round the corners of each card...

The next step is stamping the first image (for these cards, it's these cute little elephants). Each card is handstamped and set aside to dry - I have to mask the word on the base of this stamp, as I don't want it on the cards...

I then add the 'thank you' sentiment stamp, each card is done individually once again, and set aside for the ink to dry...

Next up, to break the monotony.... and let the ink dry so my bow tying fingers don't smudge the whole lot, I go for a little wander to find a nice natural light place to take a quick snap so you can see how glamorous my designing attire is (I am sure you are all a little curious, aren't you.. ha ha)... I am doing my very best "Where's Wally" impersonation today in one of my fave knits;-)

Now the final step in putting these cards together is to hand tie a pretty piece of pink/white baker's twine around each one...

...so they look all pretty, just like this one...

...one down, nineteen to go... best get back to it:)

Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
