I’m not an artist, but I’m in love with colours, paper, patterns…
That goes well my love for Mail/ Mail Art - it’s good to have a place where to send the creative outputs, no need to store them :wink:

A while ago we did a crazy acquisition and bought a vintage perforator, so now I can perforate paper to make my own decorative stamps.
Most often used are those I use for writing the ID for official postcards, I will add a photo later.

I made these “RR-identification” ones a while ago using a text rubber stamp and brilliant pattern rubber stamps (and markers) for the background:

Oh wow! You have a vintage perforator ? How cool is that! :slight_smile:

Hello fellow Postcrossers,

Have you heard of ArtiStamps ? I had not heard of them until this year. Does anyone make them ? Or have you received ones created by others ?

I have never made them yet as I do not have any machine like a sewing machine or tools to perforate to make them look like postage stamps. But I have received some created by others on an art exchange site.

If you have Artistamps by you or other artists, please show us ! :slight_smile:

Here are some that I have received :

Also, I am wondering how the perforate machine for ArtiStamps look like ??

Our very old, vintage perforating machine looks like this:

You can also buy stamp perforating mechanisms on Etsy, but you probably can’t perforate more than a couple of stamps at a time, let alone entire sheets.

In Japan, there are utility knifes made in Osaka by OLFA that are a round shape. It rolls and can perforate as in postage stamps. I was at the major stationery shop in Osaka yesterday and found a couple of such round utility knifes in different size but the smallest sized one that I was looking for was sold out. But I am going to get it sooner or later. It was about only 600 yen ( 4 Euro ) ! I will show it in this thread when I get it :slight_smile:

Edited to add :

Well, I bought the round utility knife that I mentioned above but it turned out it cannot perforate as in postage stamps …
