My card-making mojo has been hard to find lately. I think about making cards, and I look forward to it. But when I actually sit down to make something, I just don’t feel like it. I know it will pass, but in the meantime my blog will probably be a little sparse. Today I’m going to share a couple of cards featuring faux vintage postage.
To make the postage stamp shapes, the accent images (stamp values, cancellation, etc.), and the stenciled border around the left card base I used the coordinating Postage Collage coloring stencil, stamp set, and dies from Waffle Flower. (These are A2 cards, but Waffle Flower has postage-themed products for a variety of card sizes.) And I discovered that the images in the Tim Holtz Tiny Things stamp set (Stampers Anonymous) were the perfect size to use on the stamps.
For the card bases, I stamped kraft card stock with splatters and then added either a sponged or stenciled border. On each card I stamped a birthday sentiment, arranged three of the faux postage stamps, and used a piece of doily and brown pearls for embellishment.
Thanks for stopping by!

Well, these 'faux vintage' postage stamps had me fooled! I thought they were genuine vintage postage stamps!! I love how you have made them, and I also really like the kraft coloured cardstock! Great cards Andrea!
We all go through times where we want to stamp, but for some reason we just can't muster up the inspiration or energy,
You'll get there! IN the meantime be kind to yourself and try not to stress about it, Take care,
hugs from Sunshine. xx
Thanks for your kind words, Sunshine!
