ATC Product Series: #7 Postage Stamps

This is a swap series using a specific product each time. Any and all other products can be used but the featured product must be the STAR; the focal point or a major component of the focal or the main component of a featured, stunning background. Even if the item is usually used in a supporting role.

We will use postage stamps for this challenge. Please use actual stamps not rubber/clear stamps in the shape of postage stamps or paper reproductions. (Unless they are in addition to real postage stamps.) They can be cancelled or uncancelled but please make sure enough of the stamp is clear so that it’s still artistic. (Some have huge black smudges on them. Not so pretty.)

Future swaps will include: Burlap, die cuts, brads, eyelets, dimensional flowers, charms, yarn, fibres, mini clothespins, shaped paper clips, foil or thin metal sheets, glitter, washi tape, art/scrapping stickers, chipboard, epoxy, embossing paste, ink, tulle, shimmer sprays, acryclic paints, oil paints, watercolour paints, felt, rhinestones, beads, acrylic shapes, twine and more!! Maybe even some typically non-crafty stuff like game pieces, hardware or nail polish! You can join all or just a few. Let me know if you have any ideas!!

Completed swaps include: buttons, sequins, embossing powder, ribbon, wood shapes, tags.

*please use at least 4 layers and/or embellishments on your ATC. Handpainted or handdrawn ATCs are exempt.

*no teacher/reward stickers, pixelated computer printouts or magazine pages (unless significantly and beautifully altered).

*make something lovely you'd be proud to receive and wish you could keep for yourself!

*this is sender's choice but please respect your partner's dislikes for instance, don't add bugs if they hate them or colours they don't like.

*please have no recents 3s or any 1s without a good explanation in the comments of that swap or send me a note first.

*Please consider hearts for your partner if they made a really nice Card. Extras are not the only reason to give hearts.

*i will angel once you have PMd twice and gotten no or negative responses and have rated a 1. Let me know if things aren't working out in your discussions. I'm happy to help!
