Here’s the perfect illustration of good intention but poor execution! I was making my step-daughter’s birthday card a few weeks ago(plenty early) and thought I’d take a picture of my workspace, highlighting the new Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio:
Unfortunately, I never took a picture of the finished card and I have only a dim memory of the end result — but I can tell you more about the Glass Mat. If you think it looks like a piece of Grid Paper, you’d be right. Except it’s not paper, it’s tempered glass (meaning it won’t shatter if you break it or drop something heavy on it, like a cast iron skillet). This mat can take the place of disposable Grid Paper, serving as protection for your work table, a way of measuring and centering your cardstock and stamping, and a palette that will wipe clean with alcohol or water.
I’ve always thought it would be wonderful to work on glass — absolutely smooth and fuss-free — so this has been fun!
