    "foofakes" / "counterfoofs" ?

    These are mentioned in the library on UKS - to me they look like pretend sheets of postage stamps - I tried googling both the words above, but both terms link back to UKS and only UKS (and only to the library entries I've already seen)

    Can any old hands shed any light on this one for me? puzzled....!

    Here are the 2 library articles:

    and

    Can't help you much, but I seem to remember Laura (lalheg) had a rubber stamp she bought recently which did much the same thing - maybe there is another word for it that will help your search?

    I think they are/were made by Foofala if that helps. I'm sure I have some somewhere.

    Have just found mine. They're not adhesive, perforated or anything fancy... simply printed on to thin card.

    but what would you do with them? other than cut them out and stick them down? in which case why put in the dotted lines in the first place? told you I was confused!

    You would mask off the squares and stamp or decorate in them to make faux or fake postage stamps.

    I've seen a template somewhere with the dots that you can print off.

    You can also make great faux stamps by using your sewing machine without thread to make the perforations.

    I've got a tracing wheel which would presumably have the same effect... guess I still don't really see the point though LOL although I did see some "faux postage" on a stamping website which did look luvverly

    Does anyone know what that matting ruler is? Where can I get one? It would save me so much time measuring my mats!

    Would it be a cthru one, DH got mine for me from Clarity Stamps in Kent last year for xmas.

    Mary Anne did a layout with letters very similar to this about Blackberries about two issues ago. I vaguely remember that she did it with wordart and text boxes - then she inked them in a scrummy blackberry colour - maybe it will be in her gallery, so someone can shed some light on which mag/issue it was.
