Stamp Scraps by Judi Kauffman for The Queen’s Ink

The leftovers from sheets of stamps are sometimes so interesting, zig zag lines with adhesive backing, way too nice to toss in the trash!

Here’s what one sheet yielded:

The card at the start of the tutorial and the two others, shown below, offer a peek at how I used these colorful scraps to create super simple cards, but there are may other possibilities: Add inks, stenciled designs, use some embossing folders for more texture. Instead of vintage photos, go for collage cut from magazines!

Supplies:

• Leftovers from postage stamp sheets
• Cardstock, patterned papers
• Adhesives of choice
• Vintage photos (Tim Holtz)
• Collage papers, paper scraps
