This is by far the most unique postcard I have ever received through Postcrossing.com. Karin Buth sent it to me from Gelsenkirchen, Germany. I love the rubber stamp that she used. She coloured the stamped image using colour pencils and glued it onto a piece of manila card. It's is so simple and cheap but unique and it is one of a kind! Love the idea!The stamp is beautiful too. It's a picture of a Swedish author, Astrid Lindgren (1907-2002). She is the author of the Pippi Longstocking series.
I am thinking of getting some rubber stamps with sentiments. Sentiments are sentences or phrases that you see on greeting cards like 'Happy Belated Birthday' or 'Be My Valentine'. On rubber stamps, these sentiments are usually carved in beautiful fonts and you can reuse it over and over again.I have surveyed for prices of rubber stamps everywhere in PJ and KL but they are really expensive. A small one sized approximately 1.5 x 1.5 inches is sold for about RM25 to RM30 per piece. There's no way I would buy it for now. I can't wait to receive my rubber stamps from a swapper friend. I'll take some photos when I receive them. =)
try carving the rubber stamps yourselfs~~ its fun and you can carve anything u like. Look at my blog, i have an entry on rubber stamps that I crave

ReplyDeleteID ya tulis rah postcard ya juak. Mun sik send to address ya, you cannot receive bah.
ReplyDeleteHehe nya kedak tok, dalam satu masa, kita boleh send 5 postcards. Bila postcards ya dah sampei, baruk address kita akan dipaparkan ngan org lain.
Contohnya, ko send 5 poskad nak, then bila 3 sampei, ko boleh request for 3 more new addresses.
