Let’s Make Postcards with Peg Stamps

I’ve been playing with my peg stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry and absolutely love them.  Here’s a link to them as they also are referred to as peg stamps.

I like their stamps because I can double and triple stamp with them and easily line them up to do it.  There is a line on the side of the peg that allows you to always place your stamp in the right spot on your paper.

I started with 110 pound cream cardstock from Recollections from Michaels cut 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.  You definitely will want to use a very heavy cardstock because this is going through the mail as is.  I used Stampin’ Up ink called going gray for my background stamp and the stamp was called Pindot Plaid that is retired, but I’m sure you could find it on ebay..  I placed a 2 1/2″ circle that I punched out of cardstock in the center with a little bit of tape runner on the back to hold it in place.  I rubbed my finger over the tape to make sure it wasn’t super sticky.  I put the postcard with the circle face down on the inked large background stamp and put a scrap paper over it and rubbed the surface really well on all edges and especially around the circle.  Remove the circle and we are ready to stamp.
I have a postcard stamp that I used in the Misti but you could just draw the lines on the back and make a square where your stamp would go and not buy a postcard stamp.  I had it in my stash and I think I bought it on ebay if you do think you need one.  I stamped the postcard stamp with a Memento dew drop called grey flannel.

My sentiment came from Rubbernecker Stamps.  I would recommend stamping your sentiment first before doing the flowers, but I never do things the easy way.

I used a Fantastik to color inside the pinks and you can find them at any craft store.
