Since postcards have been difficult to find around here, I've decided to invest in making my own. I went to a craft store on Tuesday to browse for some ideas and walked out with a stack of scrapbook paper. I was interested in the stamp section, but stamps are apparently ridiculously expensive. I kinda knew that, but not really. Luckily, I have a birthday coming up in September.
Some of the cards I've made so far:
See one you like? Note me (on dA) with an address =D I love sending mail <3
Hey, it's DrippingWords, or Kat, from deviant art :D I love all the stuff you've made :D Do you think you could do a tutorial? I'd love to know how, cause all the postcards we have around here are the touristy ones XP Thanks :D
ReplyDeleteIt's just scrapbook paper and postcard blanks XD I just cut the paper and glue it. I'm planning to try more stuff later, when I get better materials, like inkpads and rubber stamps.

Ten bucks for 50 of them is extremely reasonable. I've set a few aside so that I can draw on those when I get a more unusual request. The scrapbook paper should be pretty easy to find as well :)
I love all of these. They are really unique, I love the steampunk/historical feel about them. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I went for this set of paper. Vintage is a popular choice on postcards. I've like to pick up some more colorful paper later.
