Commercial break-get over to THE STAMPING GROUND and you will find out where all the barmpots hang out on Wednesdays.
Wide view -you can see a couple of cards I'm sorting for my friend who will take them back to South West Ireland. She is so good for my ego as she thinks my stuff is amazing. Fancy coming all the way from County Cork to buy cards. I tell a lie-she visits her DD and family in Todmorden.
Close in -I decided last night about 10pm that card candy would make great buttons-not on my cardi silly people-but needed little holes. Tried a punch but a screw punch was better. This needed perfecting but had to leave as a shilling in the energy meter was required.
One drawer full of children's stamps for nosey people.
and a drawer full of big stamps and sets as a bonus. Off to get my porridge now-or muesli or baked beans on toast or---------- but I'll be back to visit YOU :)

ReplyDeleteI have a screw punch too - as recommended by Julie Hickey, so I'm guessing maybe yours was too - I think they're fab. Love the flower on the card in your previous post!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, great cards, but do watch your fingers, if you can't type we will defo miss you. ikki
ReplyDeletePS: using the brochure as a stamping pad.
Fab collection of stamps Hugs Pam
ReplyDeleteWow, love that Japanese screw punch. I've heard they will cut through anything. I would have tried a crop-a-dile, but don't know anything about that candy, since I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing your stamps, too. Happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteHubby's feeling a lot better thank you! It's very rare that he's ill, and he's never taken a day of work til now (two days!)
ReplyDeleteI need a screw punch, I have one that your hammer, but I can never find my hammer!!
Have a crafty Day!!

Lovely cards Betty, and what an excellent idea with the card candy :-)
ReplyDeleteHello, fellow barm pot! You are a Hero Arts junkie for sure...I remember when those boy and girl characters came out - so refreshing and fun. I realy like what I can see on your desk - and your friend from Ireland is absolutely right.
ReplyDeletebask in the praise, and enjoy it. Hope you had a yummy breakfast. those are very well packed drawers, do you ever use the ones at the bottom? I always reach in and use the same ones from the top.
ReplyDeleteLoving your crafty desk there's so much going on:) Enjoy your friends amazement, she's right:)
ReplyDeleteGreat card resting there and lots of lovely stamps, I could play for quite a while in this space:)
Thanks for dropping by my blog, the girl's helmet was easy to cut out but putting the holographic sequins on it was a real challenge and you can't even see them in the photos, LOL
But what are you talking about? you've been punching buttonholes in your card candy!!! !!!!!!!!That's a great idea by the way:)
Hiya Betty, Super desk piccys from you today, I have some of thosestick kids stamps..... I wonder where I put them?
ReplyDeletebig hugs
En xx
You've got more patience than me that's for sure! making card candy into buttons sounds a lot of work, but I bet they'll look fab
ReplyDeleteSorry my spelling is terrible!! I have got one, but...it was sold to be as a separate thingy with out the bits you screw together, if you get what I mean! so I will go and say, look i think there's something missing, and maybe they''ll give it to me!
ReplyDelete(right hook probably!)
Thanks for sharing your crafting haven with us today Betty. Now would I be right in thinking I spotted Carte D'or ice cream tubs on the shelf. I have a few (well quite a few) not because I love icecream I just need the storage!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the card candy but don't think I would have the patience.
Mind your fingers,
Pat xx
Glad I have plenty of real buttons! lol! Lots of lovely stamps there Betty! x
ReplyDeleteDo you know I very nearly saw a groundhog in New Jersey ... Heidi pointed him out and my reactions were just a bit too slow ... Hey Ho!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard "barm pot" for ages - lol. I bet your friend will be thrilled with your cards.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely stuff, and these natty scissor holders again.
