WHIMSY LOFT » STAMPING http://whimsyloft.com a lil' cuteness... lots of love Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:48:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 My Cards http://whimsyloft.com/2009/12/my-cards/ http://whimsyloft.com/2009/12/my-cards/#comments Sat, 05 Dec 2009 15:08:02 +0000 Whimsy Loft http://whimsyloft.com/?p=322 WhimsyLoft has been using these cards for sometime now.

Yesterday, I decided to spice it up a little (because it’s Christmas!!!) and added MERRY CHRISTMAS behind the cards.

I handcarved the rubber stamps for my business cards, and use fabric ink to chop on the cards. Everthing on the cards are from my handcarved stamps.

Merry Christmas from WhimsyLoft

Ones these are done, I packed up some of the sales with this Merry Christmas cards. I hope my customers will like them.

 Christmas Sale all packed up!

Made some progress and happy with it. My fingers are more steady now. Yay!

Having a precision knife helps a lot. But I wish I had the actual rubber stamp carving knife (the one with the “U”). It is hard for me to carve neatly in betweens because the precision blade cannot turn, so I usually make zig zags (which is not very neat).

Anyway, I had fun. Check them out at WhimsyLoft Flickr.

If you present someone with Goldfish (the life one) or any ornament with a motif of Goldfish, it means your are presenting that person with a blessing of good fortune.

Goldfish Stamp & Embroidery Batik Coasters

I spent one week to complete this. Mainly because I’ve not been consistently working on this. One coaster a day keep me satisfied of my sewing cravings haha! ;-)

Anyway, this coasters are made of Batik printed fabric on one side. The other side, is just plain cotton which I stamped with Goldfish. Then because I thought it was too plain, I embroidery one of the Goldfish on each of the coasters. I like the idea! Yay!

The ink will not come off because I use Versacraft fabric ink, and it sticks on ones you have iron over the stamped picture.

I’m thinking to write a Tutorial for this. Well, maybe! Still thinking! :-)

By the way, it’s a wonderful day here in Malaysia today. Cooling and breezy with just a little sun. I heart this type of day.
