Say ‘Good night!’ and Go

Before going to KL, I was bitten by the craft bug and planned to get some card punches and perhaps a card-making book. When I got to MPH at MidValley and I looked through some of the books there, I realized that they were really OVERPRICED! By the time I got the idea to just look for inspiration online, I didn’t have any time to look at the card punches. Price in Kinokuniya and MPH are the same for the CarlaCraft punches: RM13 for the smaller sized ones. RM18 for the bigger punches. RM22 (or was it RM28?) for the corner punches.

One day before leaving for home, I went to Czip Lee, in Kajang. First I got my cutting mat (RM9) and then I found the punches. Same CarlaCraft punches were being sold at RM12! The bigger ones were RM16.50! Arrghhh!

In the end, I got:

1. Five CarlaCraft punches (balloon, cake, vinca, folk star, cloud). I refuse to buy the Xmas tree punch.
2. Cutting mat
3. Sandwich bag (to put glitter in - just pop in card with glue in right places and shake, no mess!)

Didn’t buy any colourful A4-sized cards, I’m settling for the wood-free paper I bought a year ago. I think I could live in that stationery shop. So many interesting things to see.

Oh, I went to the supermarket today and bought some glitter pens made in China. Just one pen, many different coloured refills. Only RM3.20. Cheap! I also bought an eraser. I’m going to try making a rubber stamp using it. I couldn’t find heart-shaped punches, so maybe I’ll do heart-shaped stamps instead.
