Florentine Punch

Finally bought the ChristinaRe Florentine Punch I was looking at for awhile. I wasn't sure how often I would use it but I really like the design. Just tested it out on a paper torn from my Jetoy Diary.

Happy Birthday Moni!! :)

It's Moni's Birthday tomorrow! I bought this card from 'Thingz' for $1 and decided to customise it. The Glitter letters matched the card because of the glitter that was on the bus. I added a flower bloom with a blue rhinestone of it. There was already a yellow rhinestone on the giraffe's bow. I'm thinking of getting alphabet stamps but for now I wrote our names with a black pen. I like the kiss stamp, it's really cute!

My really longgg present! It's one of those poles you stick into the ground and it has a tennis ball attached to it and you whack it around!

Butterfly Swirl - Congratulations card

First card made with my new Butterfly Swirl Stamp it Stamp! :D I think the red ribbon adds the finishing touch to it. I really need a guillotine, can't cut straight!!

Variety of paper selection

Finally after a week of test&assignments, I got to visit the Stamp-it store located in Victoria Park. The place is huge! They've got everything craft related, I never knew there were so many craft things! I ended up buying:

• An unmounted Butterfly Swirl Stamp
• An medium-sized acrylic block
• Aqua-colour stamp pad
• Teal-coloured A4 card

There are a large amount of mounted and unmounted stamps available at the store. The usually wood-mounted stamps cost a few dollars more than the unmounted. The unmounted stamps come with a clingy back and you can stick it to an acrylic block and remove it as well. It's fairly straight forward and saves you a couple of dosh.

I'm planning on making a wedding card for a wedding I'm attending next weekend. Nothing too fancy, just excited about using my new butterfly stamp! This is a fairly expensive hobby!

I'm eye-ing the heat gun and embossing powders after watching this video on Elegant embossing:

Stamp It - Australia

I was surfing on ebay for some rubber stamps to make some handmade cards and I discovered the Stamp It -Eden 2009 Set and to my surprise, the shop is available in PERTH!!! So happy!! Also, it's in Victoria Park, so it's a 15 minute drive, not in woop woop land! You can also buy them online.

Here are some of my favourites, although there are soo many pretty ones, I couldn't show them all: Click here to see more.
