Holidays are on full swing now, everyone stalking the post man and yesterday FINALLY my nail mail from Born Pretty Store arrived.
It was a rather small order, pretty much just wanted to grab the deal of the plate holder & stampers which usually retails for $ 12.18 usd but I got it on sale for $9.14 woohooo!! and just added some stripping tape which always comes handy and 2 plates of the new collection to try them out.
First of all we have the plate holder. I kinda hate the color but other than that I'm really happy with it, comes with 12 sleeves that fit 2 plates; one on each side, so in total you can get up to 24 in there. Closes nicely with a pressure button and is big enough to fit any standard sized round plates.
Now the star for me is the double ended stamper, I didn't have one of these and I was very interested to get the smaller end for those tiny weeny images or details that I wanted to isolate for decals. I tried it up first before priming and the image was not picking up very well. Just buffed and cleaned up with acetone and worked perfectly. For the test I used MDU in black and blue.
Last but not least are the 2 plates. My favorite is BP17, that has a beautiful lace-like design and it's perfect for decals and leadlighting. The other plate I got is BP04, with a peacock design and some sort of flamenco dancer and a flame that I really don't know what is doing there but overall is a very nice plate. Each of these plates retail for $2.99 but at the time I purchased they were marked down at $ 1.49, so they were half price and I got a 10% off coupon and free shipping so overall I couldn't be more pleased with the order. The only downside was the time it took to arrive, my order was shipped the next day after it was placed but it took 20 days to get here, which it strikes me as I usually get them in no longer than 10 days.

** When reviewing my order I just noticed the plate holder & stamper combo has the square stamper missing. Just contacted their costumer service and waiting for notice**
