The press just keeps on rolling and I've got another new plate for you today. GogoOnly the brand I introduced here less than a month ago for their St Merry plate has now released yet another plate! Craziness right? This one is called St. Happy. I guess I can now confirm my initial conjecture that this correct that this company will be releasing several plates in a "series" under the St. " " name. I have to say the product pictures this time leave a lot to be desired so you want a better look zoomed visit the listing on Amazon. Anyway lets take a look....
Each plate comes in this envelope with heavy duty backing. I know because I own the St. Merry plate as well. When I have a chance I'll be reviewing that here.
What do you ladies think? I'm not super revved up about this one to be honest. I like it, but I don't LOVE it. As more and more plates release and my collection expands I want to spend more time getting wholly unique and innovative images that make me want to use my plates over and over again. Does that make sense? Still these plates are a great bargain at $12.99 USD and carrying over 60 images. Frankly they are a better investment and expense than some of the smaller set plates because of the pricepoint per image. You can purchase the GogoOnly St Happy plate here. I'll be wishlisting this one. Maybe next time I see a brand release another set of plates on Amazon I can add it to the cart and get some free super saver shipping. Lol eyes on the prize and happy hunting stamperistas! I'll see you next post.
I love your blog (came across it thanks to AIS and your wonderful posts there), it is an absolute treasure chest of information... really helpful for people like me new to the world of stamping :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have had a look around online but can't seem to find much info, so I hope you don't mind me asking here, but do you have any idea where can I find some plates with decent "negative" stamping images?
I had a look at Fab Ur Nails and oh my! They look fantastic but they're unfortunately out of stock, and their Australian stockists' store is currently closed (with no time frame in terms of reopening). So I figured, since you really are such a wealth of info, you might have some other suggestions?
I love the idea of using my lighter holos and indigo bananas super shiny polishes as the base and have the stamp frame the image, if that makes sense? There's been a few floral manis over at AIS where the base is a keancolour metalic and the stamping polish is black and the way the image works is that the black fills in the background, leaving the kleancolour polish as the flower...I hope I am making sense haha
So yeah, if you can think of any plates or brands that have some negative space images I'd love to know where to look so I can start saving my pennies :)
BTW, I am waiting on some Pet'la plates at the moment, but I noticed some of her new designs fit the need perfectly, such as Land of the Rising Sun...just gotta wait for a restock ;)
TIA for any help you might be able to give and thanks again for providing such a helpful and inspiring blog <3
Hello dear! Thanks for all your kind words :) Its always my pleasure to encourage and inspire others to start stamping ;) When you ask about negative stamping images I presume you are speaking of those that have a lot of empty space within the patterns? I wish you had given some specific examples such as plate numbers of images in particular especially since for FUN there are 15 plates so its a bit tricky to know to which you are referring. If you are looking for plates that have similar feel to Rising Sun then the MoYou London Kaleidoscope and Pro collections might be good fits for you as well as some of the Lilyanna plates. I'd honestly have to think about it a bit more. Maybe the best way would be to think of the brands you like the best and then look over their plates to see if there are any that fall into that category for you. I wish I could be more helpful but hopefully that was a good start!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much- this plate probably gives you an idea

There's a 3 flower image where the flower isn't picked up by the stamper but the background is, so the flower will be the base polish as opposed to the stamping image, that way I can use more delicate colours underneath and frame them in black etc etc
Anyway, I will have a look at moyou and I have asked that I be notified if the fab ur plates are restocked :)
Thank you again for all the help you provide, you've seriously helped me improve my stamping considerably.
