<p> </p> Found some great scissors for cutting stamp edges!tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2017-04-03:2496677:Topic:21067072017-04-03T04:41:27.638ZValentine Mark Hermanhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ValentineMarkHerman
<p>So I've made a few trips to arts and crafts stores the past few weeks and took a look at those edge scissors. As you may have also found, most of them are way too large. (I mean their edges are too large/wide to look good as a genuine stamp edge.)</p>
<p>But I was at Walmart today and was in the scrapbooking aisle and saw the perfect sized edge scissors. It's by <strong>Fiskars "Teresa Collins Edition"</strong> and includes two scissors: mini pinking and mini scallop</p>

<p>The edge patterns are much smaller than the standard edge scissors would make and I've tested both. They cut paper to look like real stamps. Very happy with my purchase!</p>
<p>Cost me about $3.50</p>
<p>This is useful for those looking to cut out stamps using scissors if you'd like to try something besides faux perforations (printed dotted lines) or using one of those dressmakers' rotary things. Or you don't have hundreds or dollars and/or space for an actual perforating machine.</p>

<p>If you want to pay less, I'd suggest heading to Walmart if you've got one where you are.</p> Care and maintenance of perforatortag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2016-10-14:2496677:Topic:20407412016-10-14T00:56:41.484ZValentine Mark Hermanhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ValentineMarkHerman

<p>The pins look like they have a little bit of dark build up - like the kind you might get from gum or glue over time.</p>
<p>It was filthy - it was in a print shop that had opened in 1917, according to the seller. My neighbor helped me get the top off and I took the base to the car wash and scrubbed it down. The top part, the part that does the perforating, was taken apart and cleaned by hand.</p>
<p>So far, I've enjoyed playing with it but I'd like to know more about this machine.</p> Where to get sheets of dry gum papertag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2016-10-03:2496677:Topic:20374402016-10-03T18:40:22.106ZValentine Mark Hermanhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ValentineMarkHerman
<p>Does anyone know a source for dry gummed sheets of paper? Looking for 8x11 in a ream if possible. So far, all sources have turned up dry with one expensive exception. </p>
<p>Have looked at wine/beer bottle labels but they come on small packs of 5 or 10.</p>
<p> Thanks</p>

<p>Every time I have made postoids, I print at home on sticker paper and cut out using those scallop-edged scissors. Not ideal. I like the idea of real perforation. The prices on this site seem reasonable (especially when you consider the price of real postage, Ha ha!)</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?</p> How do you use an artistamp on mail?tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2013-08-31:2496677:Topic:13522902013-08-31T02:09:29.867ZValentine Mark Hermanhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ValentineMarkHerman
<p>How do you put an artistamp or faux postage on mail as to not get in trouble with the post office? Here in the US you can actually make real and useable stamps at a couple of sites (which you would think would take the fun outta artistamps). There ARE restrictions however and with artistamps there are NO restrictions. I get that. I just don't want the postage police at my door. So do you put them anywhere BUT the upper right hand corner, on the address side of mail, where REAL stamps go?</p>
