With the little bit of leftovers I decided to make
some faux postage stamps to help
decorate my Traveller's Notebook.
Not much to work with but perfect sizes for
1 1/4" x 2" and 1" X 1".
I punched the large ones with an SU punch and the square
ones with a square die.
I set about stamping bits and pieces here and there
using stamps from Studiolight grunge and
some IndigoBlu and some SU.
I cut up any birds I could from the papers
and added them to the stamps.
I added some faux stitching around each one.
The rest of the leftovers were made into
two mini books, some punched candi dots
and very small butterflies.
That little pile on the right is what I have
left but I won't be binning them!
I would like to enter these into
Brilliant idea to use up some of your smaller scraps - we don't throw much away do we?
