gift tag hi hi hi if you ve been following the going postal series so far no actually if you re familiar with my blog at all or my shop or even my wardrobe basically me in general then you might have realised by now that i m pretty fond of putting things into colour themes and needless to say this has extended into my stamp collection of course it has i find that whenever i can t think of a theme for something eg my fabricky bits kits or i m sitting there faced with a lot of supplies and i can t think of an interesting way to pull them all together as in my 30 postcards minibook i turn to arranging things into colour families and i take it from there here i wanted to make a flower design with some stamps and to make sure that idea was nice and clear i selected ones in similar shades and because of the similar colours they hang together nicely and make sense as a flower rather than looking simply like randomly placed stamps more ideas stamps can add a quick extra level of interest to any project where you might otherwise use small pieces of patterned paper you could make pretty postal petal embellishments like these in advance mounted on to a disc of cardstock and decorated in the centre with buttons gems etc then they re always on hand to add them to all kinds of paper crafting projects cards tags gift wrap scrapbooking sort and store a bundle of stamps in colour order in clear bags or in a divided storage box to speed up choosing which ones to use otherwise you may just find yourself browsing your entire collection every time ask me how i know one additional thing i like about storing stamps in a rainbow spectrum is you begin to see how many pretty bright and unexpected colours they come in i was surprised to see so many oranges pinks and purples amongst my collection this allows you to easily add a vintage yet bright touch to more modern paper crafting styles i think the vintage postage theme is often used in dark grungy aged effect type projects but as i hope this tag display they really can be combined with pastels too i ll have more of my 30 postcards pages to share later in the week until then do you sort and store your supplies in colour families just certain ones or everything or nothing i s colour not as big a creative influence on you as it is for me julie if you join in with a posty post of your own let your readers know you re

of going postal with the next set of 7 lessons i ve recorded on postcards in my learn something new everyday journal lsned is a class hosted at shimelle com each september as ever some of my lessons followed on from thinking through shimelle s prompts while others like the first one here are just something i discovered week 2 september 8th 2013 there were two reasons i didn t write what that something i found with un gloved hands actually was and they are because i thought it might put you off your breakfast and because i didn t want to write cat poo on my nice collage oh see what you ve done you ve made me say it now my apologies to your breakfast september 9th 2013 on the reverse of this card i ve written about the encounter i had with an elderly lady while buying bread buns in the bakers when the shop assistant served us both at once the lady nudged me smiled and said isn t she good serving us at the same time she ll go to heaven she will oh but not just yet september 10th 2013 this page was part of the white stuff catalogue i talked about cutting up in my introductory post to this mini book project the stag horn bird illustration was too nice to cover over so i just added a few tiny collage details to it like the stamp number paper and alarm clock s eptember 11th 2013 the magazine james was reading had no quiz in it and i fancied a quiz so he made one up by covering over brand names and making me guess which fashion house the adverts were from he really is the best julie whisperer there is september 12th 2013 now then with this one i was inspired by one of shimelle s prompts to document a you had to be there moment a private joke something that you could choose to explain or else leave vague and i m not sure what to do with this one you ve probably got your own speculative explanations whirring around your head right now it might spoil you fun if i told you the mundane truth september 13th 2013 sometimes i like a list other times a list terrifies me and finally a nice happy lesson to end on september 14th 2013 it might take time to decide what to take to a crop and even longer to pack it all into my trolley and bags and it may mean i have to get up early and find something to take for lunch and all those supplies may well need unpacking again once i get home but for me crafting in company once a month is worth it i ve been really intrigued at all the comments about how very julie this project seems to you don t get me wrong that s a good thing but the idea that i have an identifiable style always comes as a relief and a surprise but it does make me glad makes me feel i m being true to myself which can t be a bad thing i know some of you were going to have a go at this kind of book so you might be interested to know that later this week i ll share a behind the scenes of the project post is intended to show ways you can not only begin but continue with this kind of extended daily type of project but if you re new to it you can catch up here the introduction complete with supply ideas and tips to make your own week 1 7 x completed postcard page examples there s another posty post to come in between now and the behind the

postal it feels like i ve been talking about it forever and that s probably because i have i ve had some of these projects ready for months and i kept promising that another series for us post lovers was coming soon so now that it finally has allow me to hang out the bunting to celebrate bunting is a trend that shows no sign of leaving us anytime soon it s settled its crafty little pennants in for the night and it s not going anywhere just yet and between us we ve probably turned everything into bunting by now haven t we ranging from the original triangle flag shapes across to hearts flowers skulls basically if you can hang it from a line of string you can call it bunting so why not postage stamps stamps make perfect ready made colourful flags for creating bunting in a hurry you can just pop a 3d foam pad on the back and sit them on top of a length of twine and you re done i added two little bird stickers at either end of mine but you could try brads or mini pegs too it s just another way to sneakily introduce some vintage paper ephemera into your modern papers and supplies thank you for the support of the series so far from your comments to the facebook chat and the pins on pinterest it s good to finally let all my projects see the light of day and to have them received so generously thanks see you in week 2 of going postal julie if you join in with a posty post of your

hello hello did you catch my previous post where i introduced my 30 postcards to myself journal which is home to my learn something new everyday lessons in that post i shared the ingredients i d gathered together to form each of the 30 pages then following on from those basics i added scraps of patterned paper tickets journaling blocks and focal images until well until i had 30 pre decorated pages on to which i can add my lesson for each day some days i take direct inspiration for my topic from shimelle s prompts learn something new everyday is a class hosted at shimelle com each september while other days i wrote whatever came to mind when i sat down to document the onset of autumn in 30 postcards to myself and here s what was on my mind for the first 7 days of the project week 1 september 1st 2013 did you notice the tiniest sliver of postage stamp up there even just a hint of perforated edge adds a nice posty touch september 2nd 2013 i wanted to leave some of the original postcard on show so tore the patterned paper to reveal the image beneath september 3rd 2013 september 4th 2013 at the moment i have a thing for slicing into images like the collector s card above i love the disjointed feel it gives to have layers run off the edge of my canvas like that it s a very easy technique to give a slightly more edgy and modern feel to a design september 5th 2013 i loved recording this lesson it came after two of my friends who don t know one another reacted to something i told them with almost the exact same words they both interpreted the story i d told them as being evidence of how nice people can be and it made me think their reaction really showed how nice they are that that was their immediate thought september 6th 2013 this was one of my favourite old postcards in this project so i tried not to cover over too much of it also treatier may not be a real word but still i bet you know what i mean by it september 7th 2013 this nugget of wisdom came from being about to write something about the simple pleasures of eating well and watching good tv on a saturday night then i remembered that i wrote the exact same thing in my lsned journal last year well if it aint broke and all that join me later this week for an entirely different posty project see you then julie if you join in with a posty post of your own let your readers know you re going
