I love postal/airmail imagery and these days in the US the Postal Service in at front of mind, so I decided to finally sit down and make some postage stamp-inspired embellishments.
I have two nesting sets of dies for my Sizzix Big Shot that cut postage stamp-like edges, either squares or rectangles of several sizes and a few sets of postal/travel themed clear acrylic stamps.
Most of the main images on the stamps came from collage sheets gifted to me by a couple of dear Lettuce Heads! When there weren’t quite the right dimensions to fit the die cuts I dug through my paper stash to find a coordinating look and cut it with my guillotine to fit.
I ended up cutting these two backing papers too small for what I indended, so I have a couple extra waiting for next time.
I have vague plans for some of these, but the rest… who knows? Maybe I’ve just shifted my stash from one category to another!
Whaaat?! I didn’t even know this was a thing. And I am so glad that it is. I love the images and rubber stamps you chose, especially the simple squirrel mixed in with the more elaborate designs.
Now the question, as always, is do I add these to my wishlist, or to my project list?
Yes, I would be interested in those stamps, if it’s no trouble. I have fake postmark stamps for Halloween and Christmas. It would be fun to have everyday ones since I send out happy mail to my grandmas quite a bit.
No trouble! They have lots of cool stamps! https://www.etsy.com/shop/StampedandSealedCo comes from Singapore, but was quick at the time. They do have a Covid statement about things taking longer and I don’t know what the current restrictions with things coming from Singapore are. Can’t wait to see what you make!
