WT977-- Mailed It! Nov 30, 2023

[stampingwriter]

Hi everyone. Today is the fifth Thursday of November, so Sandy is here with the challenge.

At this time of the year, everyone has something to mail via snail mail, so today’s challenge is all things postage. There are lots of options here: use rubber stamps with images of postage stamps or postage cancellation marks; use patterned paper or digi images of stamps, used (presumably canceled) real stamps; or make faux postage stamps. (Here’s a tutorial with one way to make faux postage stamps.)

Hope you have fun.

When you've finished your project, upload it with the keyword WT977, and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card.

Here's a link to our WT977 Postage gallery

Here's a link to my sample:

If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread
2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on)
4. Click EDIT. Click COPY
5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.

I have a whole bag of postage stamps - now it's time for me to collage another half sheet of card to keep handy in my background box ;-).

Fun challenge, Sandy. Thanks. (You're correct....new, unpostmarked US stamps too costly for my card!)

I love all of the cards!! I had to jump in with a non traditional color sceme and some holiday cheer! I love the muted pearl look and the way the ink blended on my stamps. TFL

Tis the season to mail! by ladystampz at Splitcoaststampers

Hello and TFL!
Here is a special card (to me) recycled from a friend's chosen card sent to us last year. I have in the past taken his exceptionally gorgeous store bought cards and turned them into my handcrafted creation the following year, sending them back to him. He loves this game!! and has already said he is anxious to see how the 'TREE on a dark blue sky, with BRIGHT BOLD ornaments hanging from it' becomes this year. : )
I hope you too, enjoy your holiday this much, with your friends. Teresa
