New Toys and ATCs

I had a surprise when I visited my favourite QuicKutz shop last weekend. In addition to the QuicKutz 2009 Spring Gift Sets, there is a whole new range of embossing plates. These are plastic plates, so they are cheaper than the metal ones. I couldn't resist playing with them over the weekend as I supervised/coached my children for their exams (talk about multi-tasking !). They work just great on metallic cardstocks.

This makes a grand nameplate.


More ATCs with embossed background (except the black one) and decorated with tatting.

Happy Birthday, Helmi

And this was of course specially done and given to Helmi for her coming birthday.

Hi Ellen, The tatting really works well with the embossed cards - you must have had great fun creating them. Hope your children's exams go well

Thanks, Sally, sure hope the children did well. Studying in Singapore is sure stressful, and the same for the parents!

Thanks, TattingChic and Clyde. I am just admiring the booties you tatted, TattingChic, that's something I have not tried! Clyde, talking about professional touch, I have a wedding card printed by a hotel in front of me and I'm admiring the embossing. Can't describe how happy I am when I can emboss my own cards now!

Hi Reen, so glad your sis likes her card. Well, you are getting one card too, it's not difficult to guess which you are getting ! Hope you enjoy tatting with the threads.
