Faux Postage.....

It appears I am a year older than you (I turn 40 next Wednesday - YIKES!). I was looking at your reunion photos and saw that you did a memorial page for classmates who had died. I've already scrapped my 20 year reunion photos, but am going to go back and do a page like you did. Thank you for the inspiration.

April!!! I LOVE 'em!!! Did you use a rubber stamp for the faux postage lines?

Hi April, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the faux Postage stamps!!!!!!!!!!! What did you use for the graphics? Are they Stamps? I also LOVE the wedding shaker box made from a composition book. Hope you don't mind scraplifting your idea? God bless, Dorothy in NY

Wow April, I really like them. I don't know how to do them .Could you maybe share a "how-t-do-it" with us? I love the look! I am especially fond of the rooster!

I don't know what she uses but here is one online you can just print out on your cardstock... :D

Do you want me to scan the page that I did and post it.

Ooo...those are neat! What are you going to do with them? Just how big are they? I'm invisioning all those details on a something the size of a regular postage stamp.

I saved a picture of one I found on the web then printed it in different sizes on white cardstock. The triangle one I just did with a black pen.

Then I was using a template cut from clear shrink plastic but i found an easier way to do it using mrs grossmans fabric stickers. Since the stickers don't stick permanent or leave a residue I cut strips out of the striped sticker sheet I had. I cut them about 1/4" wide. Lay them on the black dotted lines.

I then chalk it in the areas, then stamp it. If I think it needs more color then I use my markers to color it in. Remove the stickers (which I can use again!),and cut the outer edges with a stamp edge pair of scissors.

thanks... the shaker box was made then added to a comp book.

the rooster came from a large rubber stamp.....a portion of the stamp that is.

I copied a picture off the internet and print several on a sheet of cardstock. I can also resize each template while I make a new sheet.

They are about the size of regular postage stamps...or stamp sets people collect from the PO.

This is the first time I've seen anything like this! It looks great April. I like the Texas one with the "postage stamp" on, the best, but they all look wonderful!
