Faux Postage Stamps: Weihnachten
26 minutes ago
Friday, 6 April 2018
I’ve been adding Ebay listings (selling some of my craft stash and clothes I just don’t use any more) and almost lost the will to live – it takes SO LONG!!!!
So, I decided to have a real play today, using some of the images I spent a day and a half stamping and cutting out masks for… well prepared…NOT.
These are images from the pile of stamps I decided I simply must use again some time, when reorganising my Craft Room – which isn’t (of course) yet finished
This is a pretty little girl image…made mostly with pink Distress inks and a bit of Aged Mahogany. I can’t remember where the word stamp came from but I know it was from the Port Sunlight show, around 10 years ago, so it’s probably from Stamp Camp – who no longer attend
I think the little girl image is from either Stampinback or Lost Coast…but I may be wrong…again, bought around 8-10 years ago.
I love both this stamp AND the words. Again, I’m not quite sure where the girl image came but it’s highly likely to be one of the above – I bought a lot together at one time, around 9-10 years ago. There again, it may be Viva Las Vegas…I ordered a lot from them at the same time.
The words (both sentiments) are definitely from Stamp Camp. I loved her stamps. Not sure if she’s still around but I ordered from the US a couple of times until I realised her service was somewhat sporadic, to say the least. Such a shame.
I used some background stamps I haven’t used for a while and also a new stencil, which I really like!
I also used two of my favourite colours of Distress ink – Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio.
Here are a couple of closeups of the words…
This is one I made last week…using up scraps again.
Another scrapling… made with an old ‘Designs Ink’d’ image – now sold by I Brake for Stamps.
There are a few ‘Anything Goes’ challenges around, so I’ll link to the following:-

Oh those Designs Ink'd stamps - they used to crack me up. Loved them and I too bought quite a few. Still have them and must bring them out - what a fabulous card.
Love the two backgrounds on both cards featuring little girls, the second one who is gun toting made me smile and I have that "Queen" stamp too.
Great cards, happy memories.
Hugs, Neet xx
ps I sent three big bin bags to the charity shop - why did I not think of ebay?
Fab cards, I have the wording stamp on the first card, bought it at Port Sunlight too along with several others that you have just reminded me I have.
Fab cards, love the images wherever they’re from ;)
