Backing Cards (yes... again!)

So, back to the backing cards. Whilst I loved my little dragon ones, they were too big and when I scaled them down, the detail was too much for my little Silhouette to cope with. So, I redesigned them to be plainer and they work perfectly.
But, I needed something to make them recognizable as mine. Cue my brand new stamp, courtesy of Salt Marketplace in Utah, on Etsy.
For the bargain price of $10 + shipping, I have my own little stamp that's the right size for my cards and now gives them a little 'something something'.
It's perfect! Highly recommend these guys, super quick and helpful.

Pendant Developments...

As everyone has seen, I've been making some pendants using an etching technique and have been somewhat limited by the availability of suitably small craft punch shapes I can use to mask off the glass from the etching cream. So, I decided to treat myself!

I just ordered this little beauty!

 

It's a Silhouette Portrait and I got a great deal on Overstock. They even gave me a $15 credit because apparently coupons don't work on 'electronic' items. Nice, huh?

So, what does this do? Well, it's similar to a Cricut, but, instead of only cutting the images on a cartridge (which are pricey) and inevitably have a ton of images on them I don't want, this little one enables me to design my own and also use logos, which could open up a whole heap of opportunities! Instead of cartridges, Silhouette has an online store from which you can download images in smaller quantities for much less money. Perfect.

In other news, my little room floor is now epoxied and I can now start putting some actual furniture in there. Woohoo!
