Have you heard of Rakle stamps???? I just got a couple from Phebe at The Town Scrapper and I LOVE them!!! They are rather large and long stamps and they have a totally unique look. I'm not sure where they come from, but I know it's in Europe!
When I looked at them in the store I admired their very colourful and professional packaging and thought they were very different and that I might give them a try. Well when I got them home and took them out of the packaging I realized that they are a real quality product. They are made from thick, deeply etched rubber and mounted on EZmount. They cling to a thick plastic card with a colour picture of the image on the opposite side, so that you could store them in a little box or something and just flip through them easily to find the one you want! Very cool idea! Then I stamped with them and they stamped like a dream too!! Yay!

I made a long card with this girl, that I call Ipod girl. I used some coordinating Fancy Pants paper and some retired Rose Romance cardstock from SU. I coloured her using my Copic markers, added some Primas with silver brads and attached some yummy satin ribbon from Michael's. The sentiment is by Verve Visual and I used one of the new silver bookplates from SU. A very simple card but I really like it!

Well, it's a quick post this morning because we are off to shop in the US today. It's a holiday Monday here in Ontario so this is our chance to visit the stores in the US because they are open!!! I get to go to Hobby Lobby (my favourite craft store ever) and I'm going to try to find Mary Maxim too!! I'll let you know how I make out shoppin'!!! Have a great day!!
Oh this is gorgeous I just love these images and the papers are fab. Enjoy your shopping. Sue :o)
ReplyDeleteHi girlie! :) Rakle stamps are from Norway :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool looking stamp! Your card rocks, and I love that book plate! Have fun shopping! And make sure to let us know what goodies you get!
ReplyDeleteI suffer from stamp envy every time you show your stamps. (I can't ever seem to find them available in the US - especially the Magnolias). Love them Rakles and you did a great job on it.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Kim.
ReplyDeleteI saw the stamps in Kitchener's Scrapfest at Phebe's table. The one with the large hips kills me.
