Cardmaking: Make your own postal rainbow!

Hi again.

We're just about two thirds of the way through Going Postal now so you can choose to look at it like this:

•  if you're sick of the sight of stamps ... then there's not long to go now!
• BUT if you're looking for even more creative inspiration on how you can use postal ephemera in your crafts ... there's still lots to come!

I guess it all depends on if your glass [or maybe it should be your postbag] is half-empty of half-full! Either way, Going Postal is still going strong ... and you're still welcome to join me before the end of the series [27th Oct].

Now for today's technicolour inspiration ...

If you're not in possession of a sprawling and exotic stamp collection then there's no need to let that put you off having some postal fun on your craft projects.

Today's project is a super-simple 'rainbow queen' card:

It's made from a simple arrangement of the most basic, average, postage stamps that drop through doors every day of the week.

But, as any fellow colour-lovers out there will know ... everything is made special when its organised in colour order! 

If you store your stamp stash in colour order, maybe in little envelopes, maybe in plastic pockets, whatever, you’ll soon see rainbows forming right throughout your collection. Then simply stick them on to a card ... with maybe a few coordinating gems for a touch of glamour!

And if you haven't got any stamps but want to give this a try then try one of my new 'Instant Collections' of mixed vintage stamps which are available in a rainbow of shades:

And, as with everything in my shop, if you'd prefer something slightly different to what you can see on the shelves ... just give me a yell and I'll make something up just for you. [So, if you want a rainbow in one pack, it's yours!].
