One of my favorite resources for graphics is The Graphics Fairy. The lovely Christmas graphic above is from their site, in fact. I haven't tried any of their tutorials yet, but that is going to change. I thought I would share these beautiful faux Christmas stamps with my readers.
Of course, you can't use these to mail a letter or Christmas cards. They are not real postage stamps, but faux ones with a vintage look.

They are, however, a lovely project that would add a sweet vintage touch to many a Christmasy project. The full instructions are available, and there's a free downloadable Christmas stamp printable with many gorgeous designs. It can be printed out on card stock or, if you prefer, sticker paper. Thinning shears, like those used on hair, are used to create a pretty "perforated" edge. and touches of gold are then added with a calligraphy pen and gold ink, or with a metallic gold marker. Then the stamps are ready to use on your gifts and paper crafting projects!
