3 Ways to Make Faux Stamps

Postage stamps are perfect collage fodder. Stamps can be added to layers of a glue book or junk journal, or used as embellishments inside a handmade journal.

I always like to have a stack of them in my stash, because they are an easy go-to when a pages needs a little something extra. Or a pocket is looking a little too plain. Or a tag could use a little boost. Or… well, you get the idea!

And because you can make them yourself, you can easily make them match a theme or color in whatever project you are working on. Setting aside a little time to make a batch of these cuties is also like therapy. Just pull out your stash and go to town!
