At the bottom of the Faux Postage resource done by Beate, there is a variation template done in word....
"Your own template
Create your own template and the possibilities are endless with this technique. The downloadable template in this tutorial uses the Tables feature of Microsoft Word to create the grid pattern. If you'd like to try varying the one we used, you can download an editable version here. (Word doc, 40K)"

here you go. I mailed a card today with only a 37 cent stamp. I hope it gets there.
Boy, you got me worried about the Thank You cards I sent out today! I checked the USPS web site and the rate change takes effect January 8th, so you are okay.
Thank you for posting the template!!! My DH and best friend love this one.. I only made 4 cards last night with it but will definitely be doing more... Thanks Again.
Art is intended to provoke an emotion from a total stranger. If you�ve succeeded in this, consider yourself an artist. Paper Shanks Blog. Love me or hate me, you are still talking about me
Go to the top of the page and click on resources. There you will see step by step instructions on how to use the templates listed under Faux Postage. It really does end up looking just like real postage!

Plus the have a gallery of all the cards made with that technique! Is this site great or what! :cool:
Cassandra, I looked at your gallery. I'm very new to stamping. I love your "postage stamp" cards. How do you use the templates for stamps? It seems like a lot of cutting on the scalloped edges, so there must be a trick. I'm sooooooooooo new - still wet behind the ears. Thanx for any help.

jmarion,
Thanks for saying! Faux Postage is one of my favorite techniques!
Just like redwood says, look under Resources. At the very, very top right of this page (and everypage at SCS) there are some links. Click on the "resources" one and scroll down (a little more than 1/2 way) until you see 'Faux Postage'. Beate has a FABULOUS tutorial that you can even print out and follow along step-by-step. That's how I learned.
Hope that helps you. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
