<p>HAHAH I didnt see that this thread is a crusty 12 years old.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>The first step is to make a page of very small pictures in a grid. Collage, rubber stamps, photoshop. This part is harder to explain but kind of feel it out or ask a specific thing and I'll try to answer. I look for a color laser printer to make sure my ink dosent run if left in a wet mail bag or from an errant lick.</p>

<p><br/>The second step is to make them into stamps.</p>
<ol>
<li>STICKY PAPER Having sticky paper is fun but not necessary. Gluestick is perfect for paper stamps. Sticker paper works too but is best for stamps cut by scissors. There are some resources for "dry gummed paper" that I can dig up if you want your stamps lick-able.</li>
<li>PERFORATED EDGE There are some pinking shears style scissors that make an OK decorative "stamp" edge. One cool way to perforate is to run a sheet through a sewing machine without thread to poke a row of holes in it. The fanciest way is to perforate the sheet with a perforator. These are fairly rare but some folks have them still. Is there a printing museum where you live? or a person who makes letterpress? these are good resources for finding them. If artistamp contacts you mail with have one they will likely be willing to perforate stamps for you. It's kind of a painstaking process but not too bad.</li>
</ol>
<p>Did that help explain? formost: mail art is for experimentation and expression! Make a mess! Send mail!</p>

<p>I just joined this group. I recently bought a set of 2 different die cutters that will cut out mini stamp sheets. Ive just created one mini set of artistamps that I will be scanning to set down multiple layouts on one print out that i will then be able to use my die cutter to cut them out for using and trading.</p>
<p>I look forward to having my artistamps seen by you all (even if they arent as good as many Ive seen)</p>

<p>If by STAMPS you mean POSTMARKING DEVICES, that can be achieved, either as RUBBER STAMPS for fun, or even as MAILER POSTMARK PERMIT CANCELLERS valid for postage operations (you postmark your own first-class mail).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's easy to create "cinderellas" that look more or less like a postage stamp - you make your own rules, if any.</p>

<p>I have Photoshop Elements and old versions of both Page Maker and Publisher. I can't afford InDesign, so I'm thinking of getting Scribus for free. What I'd like to do is make a grid and be able to cut-and-paste my stamp designs, created in PSE, into each individual cell in the grid. That way I can have a whole sheet of same design stamps, or make different rows, or make them all different.</p>

<p>BTW, I've yearned to learn this process for about ten years now--ever since I first found out there were such things! So I'm very excited to try it out for the first time!</p>
