Stamp Addicted!

Hi guys! I know that I have not post anything since 1st November. It is about 26 days already! Hehe. Never mind that. Do you read the tittle? You are right! This post is about stamps!

You know stamps are something super addictive,adorable,cute and it is something personalized which why people fell in love in stamps! I do have collections of stamps from Japan and they are super adorable! But,they are seriously not cheap! 1 set cost me at least RM50! that`s the minimum price. I can`t afford to keep buying all those cute designs every time I go to KLCC as I will 'pokai' in just a second! Hehe.

Anyway, I heard that stamps lovers found another alternative than just keep buying those expensive stamps by carving on their own! I`m also addicted to this craft as it is very easy and so much cheaper! Seriously! But, stamp carving requires us to buy an eraser block which I cannot find in Kuantan. Thankfully I found a website which sells eraser blocks and other things that you will need for stamp carving art.

First thing that you are going to need is an eraser block. This is just a brand. I did not buy this one. Hehe. This is just an example.


Second thing you need is carving tools. I use carving tools from Unicorn,I guess? If you live around Kuantan, you can get it from MBS,East Coast Mall. It is actually for wood but it also used for erasers.I have all these in this picture. These are the basic tools that you need and they are affordable.


The other things that you need is just a 2B pencil,paper or tracing paper,sharpie or marker,cutting mat and any type of stamp pad. I use Versacraft stamp pad in picture below. You can use this on fabric,paper and even wood! This one is quiet expensive,about RM50.So, I suggest you to use a normal ink pad if you don`t have enough budget, :)


That`s all what you need to make adorable eraser stamps! Go ahead and make your own stamps. Anyway, good news for those who lives in Malaysia that that eraser block can be found in this website and they ships around Malaysia! 

I want to continue carving my adorable stamps.Bye! I will update my hand made stamps soon! :) Have a nice day everyone! ^_^
