Welcome to What About Orange! The First Post

 Welcome to What About Orange - I'll be posting here to talk about my new shops (Etsy, etc.), the craft fairs I'll be at and the products I'll be making. I had originally planned to open shop waaay back in 2020 but with the craziness/uncertainty of these past 2 years, it was at the bottom of my to do list. Now that things have settled down somewhat (at least where I live), I felt the time was ready to open What About Orange.

Just pressed some rectangle magnets for the new shop. I know that these designs are very common but that's what happens when you (meaning me) can't really design things and end up getting the same commercial use designs that everyone else gets. I am doing some experimenting on Canva so I might  have some products for sale with my own designs by the time What About Orange opens. These rectangle magnets are more time consuming to press than my other products but I really like how they look. Instead of a paper punch, I use a die cut to press the paper out so I can have closed edges on the magnets. I've nicknamed the press I put the die cut on "The Beast" because it's super heavy but it does a great job. The next step is to package the magnets. Right now I'll just be slipping these into cello bags to protect them until I can decide on what kind of backing I want. I was thinking about designing them myself, but now I might just use cardstock or scrapbook paper.
