I will be following along here before I jump in. I used to do a lot of paper crafting, but have gotten away from it. I want to get better at collage, and I’m sure I’ll see a lot of inspiring work here!
Recently I watched Teesha Moore’s video tutorials for how she does her collage and its made my collage work a thousand times better. I highly recommend them.
Ok, I’ll start. This was a November challenge on Kate Crane’s FB group - however the Carabelle postage stamp set wasn’t available in the USA. I found a similar stamp on Etsy, made by 100 Proof Press. The image is about 1.5” by 1.75”.
I like working in threes, obviously, and I use the stamp frame to isolate the images to fit in the frame. I did the 3 sets of 3, Mona, Ari, and the snail, in about an hour.
Now off to search my stamp collection to make more. I know I have a Gandhi stamp somewhere…
No - I thought since it is a small project, it didn’t warrant its own post. And I wanted to get the craft-along going. Thanks for the kind words.
I got the stamp on Etsy for $5. or less. If you have the kid craft scissors that cut the “postage stamp” design, you don’t need the stamp. I know there’s a pair at school, I just can’t find it!

I decided to buy some nice paper I can print journal lines on for a journal I am going to hand-bind for one of my son’s 6th grade teachers. I came across Of The Earth on etsy’s seed paper. It is really cool! Read about how you can even plant it after using!
