Curali
is an indie brand located in Spain – and I love their sweet, beautiful and
unique patterns.
The
plates come with a blue plastic film and a very neat and cute card board
sleeves with stamping instructions on the back. They have a plastic backing (some with wider backing that do not fit
in most plate holders).
The plate size: 6 x 12
cm.
The pattern size many are full pattern plates, on the rest the
patterns are 1.9 x 1.5 cm.
The price is 6.95 Euro each.
The etching is medium to shallow in the patterns with thin
lines.
Where to buy: from Curali – see distributors list HERE.

So, what do I think?
Pros: I love the many unique patterns so much. So
many of them are not seen similar in plates from other brands.
Cons: It might just be me, but I have a problem
with parts of the patterns not being completely filled, in most cases I really
only notice it in the close up photos. But the plates do need a light-handed
scraping, and I actually think a thin/flexible scraper will work best.
I would have preferred them all to have the same small size plastic backing, it makes storing in plate holders easier.
Would I like to buy more? I wouldn’t mind!
Final conclusion: All in all I like these plates a lot.
Give them a try, test them with a light scrape and different scrapers and stampers - and if you already own any of them, please tell me what you think of them :)
