Current obsession

Sigh. Instead of bag, shoes or clothes, my current obsession lately lingers on embossing tool, die cuts, fancy paper  etcetera. Awalnya gara gara mengunjungi neng desy di suatu malam untuk iseng iseng lihat card making nya dia (dan berujung pada bikin kartu ulang tahun sebagai compliment untuk frame saya). Pas saya lihat koleksi kerta, stam, puncher , pernak pernik dan kreasi kartunya si neng satu ini, I felt like I just died and gone to card heaven *lebay*. Desy mengjari saya berbagai teknik stamping, punching dan embossing. Saya asik mainan stamping up sampai gak sadar udah jam setengah sebelas malam dan dijemput sama si pacar. Card making is a whole lot of fun!  Plus, I think the stamping, embossing, and whatever-the-name-of-the-technique-are will add some spark, values and uniqueness on my new-found cartonage crafting activity. Imagine a frame or box, or even invitation with personalized emboss and vintage design that is created handmade. Pour moi, c'est super yumm :p. 

Semenjak malam itu, saya entah kenapa kepikiran terus soal card making ini. Then I google and found some interesting sites, some sites display personal artwork on card making, some sites reviews on tools and kits, and some sites sell the tools and supplies. And this last kind of site, is the one which makes me drool.Try visit this site or this, this or even this. Gulp. Rasanya pengen borong itu semua stamps, puncher, emboss dkk dkk. Kalap banget. Kalo gak inget cicilan mobil etc rasanya pengen klik add to shopping cart saat itu juga deh. Tapi ya, delivery ke Indo dari USA kan pricey, hiks... That is why I just got my YAY moment when I found out that BigShot, one of Sizzix 's machine, is available on a papercraft store in Xinjiapo. Daaaan itu berarti pas liburan december besok bisa menyelinap ke toko toko lucu buat beli kertas+tool ditengah tengah itinerary yang disusun si pacar. Hihihi. Wait, tapi harganya kok lebih murah dan dapet value pack kalo pesen ke Sizzix USA sih? Apa titip aja ke temen temen yang pada mau training kesana ya ??
