The Alley Way Stamp (TAWS) Is Here!

The postman is hardworking as he delivers second time today! But my husband thinks otherwise as he says that it is still season of greetings as Chinese New Year is around the corner!

Talking about Chinese New Year, this is the parcel I been expecting the most as it contains the stamp I wanted to make my Chinese New Year cards! It is the The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) Tropic Topic as mentioned in my previous post!

 The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) Tropic Topic

OhScrap! posts it on 27 December 2012 and it reached my doorstep about two (2) weeks. It costs about USD$3.23 to post The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) and six (6) packs of Action Wobble™ Springs. OhScrap! charged me for USD$4 which I found reasonable.

My husband has reminded me that Chinese New Year is just around the corner for few times now. Guess I really need to get started on my Chinese New Year cards before it is too late! *sigh* Furthermore, with the stamp set on hand now, I do not think I have the excuses anymore. The Action Wobble™ Springs just have to wait for a while before I have any good ideas how to use or incorporate it in my projects. 

Shopping Time!

Finally gotten my bonus and it is time for shopping for my craft stuffs! I been eyeing, budgeting and planning for the past months on which stuffs I can buy since my budget is limited! I cannot afford to spend all my bonus on craft stuffs as I have other commitment to fulfill. *sigh*

This time, I am venturing into some new brands - Fresh Squeezed Stamps, Paper Smooches and The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS).

Fresh Squeezed Stamps Christmas Treats

I decided to buy Fresh Squeezed Stamps Christmas Treats as it is a Christmas set which I am a bit lacking of. Secondly, I have great idea on how to use that apothecary jar into something not Christmas related! Thirdly, Fresh Squeezed Stamps offers me a 25% discount on my entire order when I join for their 12 Days of Christmas contest. Thus, it is great bargain that I cannot miss! Sadly I can only manage to get a set of Fresh Squeezed Stamps as my budget really limits me. *sigh*

Paper Smooches Get Outta Town

I decided to buy Paper Smooches Get Outta Town and Chubby Chum Pals from Loves Rubberstamps as I have a free shipping coupon that I won earlier. Although Loves Rubberstamps price is not so comparative with other online stores, it save me a lot when I get free shipping.

The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) Tropic Topic

Finally, I got The Alley Way Stamps (TAWS) Tropic Topic from OhScrap! as they are offering 15% discount! I really wanted this set once I saw it accidentally when I blog hopping some times ago. The major reason I wanted this set so badly is that the snake image because next Lunar zodiac is snake! Thus, this set really make good Chinese New Year cards! I decided to get the Action Wobble™ Springs (of 6 packs) because after calculation, I basically get it for free after the 15% discount while shipping is flat at USD$4. Thus, it is worth it rather than just buying a stamp set with same shipping rate!

I am very excited that four (4) additional new brands stamp and a new tool are shipping its way to me! I really like to try these three (3) brands stamp and hopefully I can make some cute and adorable cards with them!
