Craft With Me - Let’s Make Our Own Postage Stamp Sheet

Hi Guys,
So, scanning through Pinterest I found that Elizabeth Craft Designs has a whole new collection called You’ve Got Mail. In that collection there is this postage stamp die which perforates a sheet to look like stamps. I thought we can probably recreate it using tools we already have in our craft spaces. So here’s my version of that project. The supplies I used in this project will be listed below.
Thanks so much for watching!

You’ve done it again, Maggie! I just love your stuff. I love that you see something and if it’s to costly to purchase the items needed, you come up with an alternative that is stunning. Thank You so much for sharing your creativity with us. 🩷

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Barbara!! I’m so happy that you liked my version of this project. I’m really happy with the results and the versatility. It was a lot of fun to make. Thanks for always being so kind and encouraging. You’re the best Barbara!! :)

[@erikahatcher5492]

What a great idea using that pattern tracing tool. I have mine from Home Economics from school back in the day. Can’t believe I kept it all these years.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Erika, that must be so cool to still have the same tool from your school days. Very nostalgic. Thanks so much for watching

[@jkh417]

I love how these turned out! I didn’t think putting down the perforations first would make sense but you managed to fill in every space! 👏

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Jo, glad you liked it. It was a lot of fun to figure out what stamps would fit in certain spots. Kind of like a puzzle. Thanks for watching

[@Lady_Jay42]

LOVE this idea! you can really customize it any way you want and you can use the individual cutouts, or just add the whole sheet to a journal and let the other person play!

[@SunsetCrafts]

Exactly! I’m so glad you see it that way too. These are just ideas but you can definitely change it up to fit your style and needs. Thanks so much for watching

[@kayboath2468]

These are fantastic, just love the idea of using the wee rolly perforated thingy !!! To make these. Another amazing idea. Xoxo

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks Kay, I’m so glad you liked this method. It is really easy and super fun to use. I hope you will give it a try. Thanks for watching

[@elsieb3176]

I got out my score board and dressmaker's tracing wheel and tried this. Brilliant idea! In order to give every stamp four perforated edges, I perforated 1/8" from all edges of the sheet before doing the internal lines. I also distressed the perforations on the raised back side instead of on the front. I love your video!

[@SunsetCrafts]

Great idea Elsie, thanks so much for watching

[@evelynloya1266]

What a fantastic idea! Love Love Love.❤ This is so clever. I am going to make some and share in happy mail with some of my crafting friends. Maggie, you rock!

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thank you so much for watching Evelyn. So glad you like them. I know your crafty friends will love them.

Hi Jacqui, thanks so much for watching. Crafty hugs right back :)

[@karenhughes3558]

Maggie you are so good at recreating things! Your amazing. I enjoyed this video so much and I can’t wait to try it! Congrats on your 10k……you so deserve it! 🌻

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks Karen!! I’m happy everyone enjoyed it. It’s so easy and so much fun. You are going to have a blast! Can’t believe I’m at 10K already. It’s unreal. Thank you so much for always watching!

[@dianajackman7213]

Great fun! Usually, the date stamps have blank spaces to make them easier to skip.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Diana, you got me thinking. I’ll have to check mine to see if it has that blank space. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I’m curious. Lol Thanks so much for watching

[@suzyallen1726]

Way back early 20s I played around with filo clay. I would stamp letters and cut with that tool. We used to use it for putting cutting pattern marks on fabric. I sewed a lot in the seventies. I made a new mini skirt every week for the friday dances we had. I had a great home ec teacher. I love that fleur-de-lis paper ughhh. You are such a good stamper i suck sorry but it's true. I made a bunch of sticker inspired by melina with magazine pictures and I used the rolly tool. I had a problem with numbers. No stamps. Very very fun as always miss Maddie

[@robinsutton4952]

My mom taught me to sew at an early age, she told me it would make me or break me. I loved it. Made so many outfits, mostly skirts with matching vests. My grandmother taught me to knit, which I still love to this day. About the only thing my sewing machine touches now is paper. You brought back some good memories for me, thanks.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Ms. Suzy, you are a very crafty lady. A woman of many traits. So super cool. That was very fun to read. Thanks for sharing and Thanks so much for always watching.

[@zenrvn4702]

Using the pattern tracing wheel with the scoring board is brilliant.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks! Glad you liked this idea. It works great. Thanks for watching

[@SandyKay65]

Wow! That's a great idea! I've tried this just on a flat surface and a slightly padded one with bad results. You have just made my day!!! 😊

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Sandy, that’s so great. Glad I was able to share this project. Thanks so much for watching

[@irhonda31]

I saw Crafty by Toni (fun channel) use the Elizabeth Crafts stamps die, and it was pretty cool, but I think you came up with a great alternative! Plus, your method has the flexibility to look at the stamps you want to use ahead of time and make the stamp sizes that you want.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Really?! I’ll have to check out that channel and see how it was done. I’m really glad you liked my version of this die. I’m with you, I liked the versatility of this method better. Thanks again for always watching Rhonda!

[@irhonda31]

@@SunsetCrafts Crafty by Toni is a big fan of grunge, like you are.

[@SunsetCrafts]

@irhonda31 Awesome! I’ll check it out!

[@nickisenn4133]

Wonderful idea! Just found your channel this morning and already binge watching your other videos! So much inspiration! Thanks for sharing!

[@terricorbett468]

So creative! Love your videos. It is so relaxing watching you craft!!😘❤❤

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks Terri!

[@JeanandKenny]

Oh that is so cute! I like that any stencil or stamp would work on those stripes, flowers, dots, zigzags as well as the Tim Holtz look that you have here. So fun, thanks for sharing! For once I have all of the stuff I need and better yet, know where to find it all :)

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Jean, I really like making projects that are so versatile. It’s easy to change them up. Sounds like you’ll be crafting along with me! That’s awesome. Thanks for watching Jean!

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks so much for watching Carrie

[@luannstevens4496]

These are so wonderful! I also used my paint chip books from Sherwin Williams and Behr to make stamps. They turned out really cool! The chips have the name and number of the paint but I just stamped right over it and they turned out great.

[@SunsetCrafts]

The paint chip idea sounds amazing! Gotta try that too. Thanks for the tip LuAnn

[@donnamurillo]

Awesome. I have always used the sewing wheel for making stamps but I never thought of using the scoreboard to make lines straight. Thanks for sharing.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Donna, glad I was able to share something new. Thanks so much for watching

[@canadianjaneoriginal]

Iv been looking for a perforating tool! I miss traditional stamps. I hate the postage stickers we have in Canada. We used to have great stamps. There might be scissors that do this but you need to cut stamps out. I like your tool. Using what you have is the way to go.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Tim Holtz has a perforating tool. But I prefer the sewing tool since it pokes holes and not slits like the TH version. I also use thinning shears to cut some of my stamps. It gives it the torn edge look. Thanks for watching

[@JessicaCruz-Hernandez]

So beautiful!

[@SunsetCrafts]

[@LaurieEtchison]

Very cute idea. I thought it was so cool how the stamps fit so perfectly in your random shapes. I probably couldn’t do that if I tried, ha ha. Maybe I should try.❤😊

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hey Laurie, glad you liked it. It’s a lot easier than you think. It’s actually a lot of fun finding ones that fit…kind of like a puzzle. You should definitely give it a try.

[@LaurieEtchison]

I will. I love puzzles. @@SunsetCrafts

[@jackiehorn3724]

Love using the rotary sewing tool. I have tried it but without using the scoring board. I have a score board, imagine a ruler would work as well. But the score board ridges are not as deep as doing it beside my ruler. I am so going to do this.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Jackie, yes…a ruler would work too. Maybe you can achieve the same results if you used it along with a foam sheet under. I might have to try that too. :) Thanks for watching

[@robinsutton4952]

Need to get those stamps out and USE them. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Robin, thanks so much for watching

[@leotapentecost]

Way cool wish I had the score board

[@SunsetCrafts]

Thanks for watching Leota. The score board is fairly in expensive. I’m sure you can find one on Temu as well.

I missed you yesterday for Tag Tuesday. I couldn’t find it. 😌🩵🩵🩵

[@SunsetCrafts]

Hi Laurie, so happy to hear you enjoyed this project. Super easy right? And so many possibilities. I didn’t do a Tag Tuesday yesterday. Took the day off, but I’m glad you are enjoying those videos too. Thanks again Laurie for always supporting my channel.

Hi Katrina, for this project I do recommend the sewing wheel instead. Thanks for watching

[@diannadenis360]

This is perfect! I've got the same tim holtz preforater and that 😅just cut the paper like it did for you. I bought some of the sewing tracing tools. I am not creative like you so i couldn't get around how to puncture the paper without bending it. The score board is perfect! I love your stamps thanks for sharing your technique and talents.

I really like this idea. It looks stunning! I would like to try it, but I have very few stamps that would go with the postal theme.
