Erica,
 WG> Also, I have decoupaged boxes with stamps, and it's kind of cute.
 EL> Was this your idea? I saw it in the echo last year and thought it a
 EL> good  way to start decoupage so at the craft fair I bought a box to
 EL> decorate.  Are there and traps or tips you can tell me about? I think
  It's been so long since I started doing them, I've forgotten where I
  got the idea.  I believe someone else on here had the original idea.
  Tips...you can get the stamps off the envelopes by throwing a handful
  into a bowl with very warm water for a few minutes.  Then you can pull
  them apart, and it's pretty easy.  I guess that's the hardest part.
  Someone also had the idea to make earrings with them.  I think they
  took a stamp and decoupaged it several times, and rolled it around
  a pencil to make it curl some, perhaps after it dried?  I've forgotten
  that part now.  I plan to make some for Christmas presents this year,
  only with clip-on earrings.
  Hope this helps you some.  Some of the others can tell you more to do
  with cancelled stamps.  Good luck, let me know how it goes!  :)
  take care,
  Wanda
... Put on this blindfold.  I want to try something.
