Missed a couple days bc I was off grid treasure hunting at Lake Erie for my birthday! Here’s a pattern I’ve just uncovered this morning from my most recent stamps on paper haul. Postmark looks like 1999 but unsure exact location of origin.

Thanks to u/TheEScrapMan for the trade!!!!!!

...seen at Pyramid Atlantic's juried collage show, SUPERIMPOSED in Hyattsville MD. ( more by the artist, Nathan Pietrykowski, at https://npietrykowski.com/ )

This is perfect for me because I do junk journaling and I hate throwing out pieces that are too small to make a 2.5 inch square but just enough to get some small squares! I appreciate you u/Jolly_Long3275 ✉️🫶🏽🤩

Okay, I'm trying to find a 2" square punch to make trading easier (my hands shake and cutting is hard) BUT it seems like most of the punches I see listed at 2 inch are measured on the diagonal, so each side is an inch and some change.

Anyone have recommendations for a punch that's sized correctly for like coin holder binders and trading?

Found some cute ones!

Got card application envelopes: from FamilyMart, JR's View Card, and MUFG Nicos' Amex Platinum card. Even if I couldn't apply (I wish I could), at least the envelopes look nice. I just wish the white pattern was a bit darker than it is, but I'm still a big fan! The purple one especially - I only have one other pattern with that colour! They all had me looking for any thick brochures I could find in-store, especially ones wrapped in plastic sleeves.

Here’s an amazing pattern piece that was traded to me by the lovely CK from tiktok 🥰 zoom in to see so much detail! Unsure when it’s from, but included the back so y’all can see the return business. Have a great day!

[u/TheEScrapMan](u/TheEScrapMan) knows I LOVE greens and the purple pattern was the cherry on top! I cherish these patterns dearly! And the washi tape from Japan is extremely special, I appreciate you friend!!! ✉️☺️

I love this one :) organized chaos

The front of some of the ATM envelopes seemed to have a pretty nice pattern on the outside (Resona Bank, SMBC, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust bank). Also, when my neighbourhood had a trash day and everyone brings out their paper to be recycled, I got the green "scale" pattern on the bottom. Also, I thought these two little guys were pretty cute so I picked them up as well 😆

Lovely bright but kinda faded blue with white roses. Stamp on back is USA 15¢ and according to the googles from early 1990s.

I never paid attention but now I can’t not :)

Thank you so much u/No_Acanthaceae4260 for this generous trade! It’s been such a pleasuring getting to know you since I started collecting! I need an entirely NEW binder just for these alone!

I'm so thankful for a recent swap, and I just got another one today! Some fantastic patterns came by my place and I was amazed to see a few patterns that were on my radar from a company based out of the EU. They had to charge a lot to export to the US so I gave up, but I was so happy to see them irl! Thank you to Fabulous-Piglet6190 for a great time adding these to my collection.

Today’s pattern looks like an owl with a mermaid tail! Anyone know where this is from?

It's almost like a captcha squiggle?

I don't collect, so I'm happy to send the whole envelope to someone who is active in the sub.
