![]() I’m using a copy of one on my Land of the Rising Sun image CD. Next, you’ll need the main image for the stamp. What you do won’t effect the rest of the steps. Go ahead and tweak your stamp’s resolution and size to whatever you’d like. That’s a nice oversized stamp that looks good when it’s printed, but is still small enough to identify it as a postage stamp rather than a serving platter. I wrote a lesson on how to play with resolution a while back-if you need help with this part, you might want to take a minute and read it.įor this lesson, I’m really building my stamps at 150dpi, and they’re about 2-1/2 inches high. If you’re into tweaking your resolution a bit, you can turn it into a smaller, higher resolution file that will be the right size for print. Now, this is actually a huge stamp-like, over five inches high. I’m a subfolder kinda girl-do whatever works for you. Why not store them together to make your life easier? I have a folder of artistamps on my computer, and subfolders for each stamp set-that way, all my art is stored together where I can easily find it. I reccomend starting a new folder, because you’re going to need some other image files to make your first stamp. Save the larger version to your hard drive in a place where you can find it. How about the one I posted last January, in my article on artistamps? Look, here it is! Click on the stamp at left, and a larger version of it will pop up. OK, now that you know my mood, let’s get down to work.įirst, you’ll need some sort of stamp template. Please don’t email me asking how I make that happen-it involves some expensive hardware, a talent for calibration, and about ten years of PhotoShop experience. Those are created using a different sort of template. ![]() Last, but not least, this is NOT the method I use to make the faux postage stamps I offer for sale at Ten Two Studios.If this doesn’t do it for you, please work it out on your own. This is what I know, and what I’m willing to share. Mostly, please do not email me asking any other questions about making faux postage. ![]() If you know how to make faux postage stamps using tin foil and duct tape, feel free to post those instructions-don’t send them to me. Again, I use PhotoShop, so I’m not interested in how it works in other software.
