Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am making passports for my younger children for when we tour the WS. Here is my preliminary efforts: http://memoirable.blogspot.com/2014/08/epcot-world-showcase-passport.html Can anyone helpful fiend tell me if the area I left for the stamp is big enough? (about 2" by 1.25") Do you think I should print it on card stock or paper? Either way, I was thinking of using something ivory or very light beige colored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'd do really heavy paper, not quite card stock. I can't remember how big the stamps are.... it will still look cute if they hang over a bit though. PS- I love that! So cute! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Marty, assuming you're using an inkjet printer, I'd get scrapbooking cardstock. It's softer and more pliable than regular cardstock. The ink absorbs better b/c it doesn't have the hard, shiny finish that regular cardstock has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'd go with something a bit heavier than regular paper, unless you're using something that has a coating of some sort on it (like and inkjet paper) so that it's unlikely to bleed through.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Oh and those look great Marty - well done! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks! Where would I get that and is it more expensive? Thank you! :thank-you-smiley3: Do you have a Michaels or AC Moore in your area? It's not expensive if you buy it in packs. If you buy it individually it would cost you around $.25 per sheet.

If you buy it individually it would cost you around $.25 per sheet.I wonder if Hobby Lobby would have it? That is the closest. We have the other two, but they are the other end of the extremely busy shopping area that everyone seems to drive on at the same time i try to go anywhere. Okay, I found this: http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/8-1/2-x-11-cream-cardstock-value-pack-848622/ Does that look good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Marty, check this out. But be aware some of these prices are per 100 sheets. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/scrapbooking-and-paper-crafts/scrapbook-paper-cardstock/?color=White Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 That's awesome. I wouldn't use card stock. Especially if your planning on folding them. Are you going to print them in color?If it's not to much trouble I would like to have one for my DD. I'll gladly pay you for your trouble. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 What would it cost to have it printed at staples or something like that? This makes me want to add an extra day and go to EPCOT! These are fantastic Marty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wdwpoohbear...Jennifer 40 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Those are super cute! I think the card stock idea was the way to go. Hope your kids enjoy those on your trip!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Okay, I have published an updated post showing the frames and I think you can just copy and save the pictures and then print them.
