February papersisters Artistamps

Hello February! Decorate your letters, postcards, and more in February with these unique papersisters Artistamps. You can use the stamps individually or several at once for a special effect.

Unlike “real” stamps, however, they cannot be used for postage. These Artistamps are particularly beautiful when used with the corresponding postcard series. Each stamp measures 2 x 2.5 cm. The entire sheet measures 9.7 x 11.8 cm. 1 sheet Design by papersisters, Made in Germany.
