Didn’t Look, Just Pointed - Collected Stamps - Zine

Four random topical stamps from the collection.

A collection built on chance

I closed my eyes and randomly pointed in the topic of “Kids, Cartoons & Family" for stamps to illustrate. Other than being in the same topical area, I'm not sure I would have chosen these to feature as a collection together but it turned out to be super fun! So which ones were chosen? You'll have to download the zine to find out!

Bonus: There is a full spread which invites you to postmark your favorite for a friend, and to color/circle the one you would keep.

How to Cut & Fold the Zine

Each issue is designed as a single-sheet mini zine.

You’ll need:

• One sheet of paper (US Letter or A4)

• Scissors

Instructions:

• Print: Use standard letter paper (8.5" x 11"). Make sure your printer settings are set to "Actual Size" or 100% scale.

• Fold & Cut: If you’ve never made an 8-panel pocket zine before, it requires a simple accordion fold and a single slice right through the center line.

• Read: Tuck it into your pocket and take it outside!

The folding diagram shown above is not my original work. I found versions of it across multiple sites and don’t know who originally created it, but I found it helpful—and it’s something I would have drawn myself.
