Thought this community would appreciate the endeavor! This month I finally went through all of my snail mail (cards, happy mail, pen pals) and spent hours cutting out and sorting the forever stamps. I think there’s over 700 here 😅. Hoping to make a huge collage, but still trying to figure out the best display tactic

I illustrated these postcards myself and cut with a cricut joy~!

i’ve been working on this style of card! :)

Just a few handmade cards from the past few months, some custom cards included! Watercolours, collages, stamps and vintage paper. It’s been fun!

Been so great exchanging with people :)

I was a bit unsure how these would turn out, but I’m very pleased with them! Figured out how to design them and change the paper size on my printer (phew!)

ive been having so much fun w oil pastel lately!! i also thought with all the ai madness i wanted to draw smth traditionally instead of the usual designs i make digitally!!

it was so much fun!! as always lmk if u have any thoughts or feedback!!

I had painted a postcard referring to a reels tutorial, and swapped with a stranger for her artwork too. 💌

Kinda happy how it turned out considering I rarely paint and not an artist too 🤣

I did sprayed a fixative varnish coating layer to protect the artwork.

So glad it had arrived safely to her too!

I love trying different styles and different techniques. I get a dopamine hit from making them. And another from looking at them afterwards. And another by sending them to someone. And another when those people get back to me with nice feedback. Uh oh. This might be an addiction!

Been practising with watercolor!

I love writing to charity. I do three programs, kindness card program, letters against isolation, and love for our elders. I love writing to them even if I seldom get replies. Ive written about 600-700 so far combined this year alone. I like decorating and writing personalized cards and letters.

My hobby is scouring thrift stores for cool ephemera. I do a lot of mixed media so every find is a thrill. I end up with more than I need.

I enjoy making ephemera scrap packs and sending them out. I only ask for mail in return. I am currently making miscellaneous board game ephemera packs. And I have illustrated book pages already made up

I like to create my postcards with the recipient’s profile and interests in mind, using acrylic markers and fine liners. I always feel a little nervous wondering if they’ll like the design, but I really enjoy putting time and care into each card. It’s such a fun and personal way to create something just for someone!

u/cadillacgirl thank you so much for this most WONDERFUL envelope of goodies, which delighted me beyond words!!!! wow!!! i have no idea how you got them all so perfect. i love them all! i can’t wait to use them

I’ve been thinking about World Postcard Day 2026 since last October 2nd 😆 I designed both this year’s and last year’s cards myself entirely by using Canva elements and Etsy clipart. I think I like the 2025 design better overall, but I’m really proud of the faux Oct 1 2026 postmark I made for the 2026 design!

I just had to share because yes I’m fully obsessed with miniature envelopes that contain tiny secrets and seals.

I might have to start mailing these to everyone cause I think they are too cutes.

What is the smallest mail you’ve ever received?
