Sticker Rescue

What is Sticker Rescue?

 

I’m so glad you asked! Sticker rescue is what I’ve decided to call the process I use to source a lot of the vintage sticker sheets I find as well as where I get a lot of the cut-ups and partial sheets that make up my sticker mystery packs. 

I have always really enjoyed going thrifting, dumpster diving, etcetera. Being able to pick through the things that people have decided they no longer need or want is a lot of fun to me… it’s like a little treasure hunt! It makes me feel happy to find these little treasures and give them a new life and purpose. 

Lately, I have noticed a decent increase in crafting supplies, especially vintage stickers and scrapbooking supplies! As an artist, sticker lover, and collector, I’ve found more stickers than even I could possibly use at once, so I want to be able to spread the sticker love to others.

I’ve been inspired by the SCRAP Creative reuse center and their mission to offer lightly loved craft supplies for reuse as a way to reduce how much of these things are often sent to landfills. I would love to start my own center for creative reuse but that is a long way off as I am a one-person operation currently and have neither the space nor the time to run a center all on my own… gives me something to aspire to though, right?

Long story short, I know stickers are powerful and can change the world and I know there are tons and tons of other sticker lovers like me who are going to be so excited about the stickers I’ve found as well! 

 

Note: If you or anyone you know has a huge sticker or crafting hoard you need to lighten up, Please let me know! I would love so much to be able to help you make more room in your craft room! Please email me at flaptordesign@gmail.com to discuss details and make arrangements :)
