And they're gorgeous! 😍 We're super excited about these!

These are probably some of my favorite yet!

I love decorating postcards and choosing stamps based on someone’s profile and the card I’m sending them. I especially love detailed Postcrossing profiles because they give me inspiration when decorating and choosing stamps 😊

I was wondering, do you enjoy receiving really decorated postcards like these, or do you prefer a more plain-looking card with more space for writing?

I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts! The pic shows the cards I sent out this morning :)

Sharing the postcards my wife handmade using paper collage to bring the 2026 USPS Postcrossing Maxicard images to life.

She’s excited to attend the First Day of Issue in Boston at the end of this month.

In the span of just 24 days, it traveled from the Netherlands to a stranger's home in California...and then finally to my mailbox in Iowa, tucked inside an envelope with this note.

I can't believe how quickly it still arrived, even with such an unexpected detour! I also think it's incredibly sweet that someone took the time to forward it instead of letting it get lost. ❤️

Another pet-inspired postcard! This one made it to its destination after 51 days in transit.

​It's a drawing of my cousins' cats 🐱. They always look grumpy, but they are actually total sweethearts! The receiver asked for "unforgettable memories" as a prompt, so I shared a few stories from summer breaks back when my cousins were still little :)

I previously shared my black Labrador postcard [here] 🐕

I made a bunch of hand stamped Halloween-y postcards using my rubber stamp collection.

For those who like handmade cards, would you be dissapointed or would you be happy to receive something like this?

I know some of my friends will enjoy them, but my friends are weirdos who like trashy art and kitsch, as do I, so I have no idea how to judge what the general public would like.

I’m so excited to send this tomorrow. It’s going to USA from Canada :)

…and with so many fun little details, lucky me!!! 💌📬

I never thought I would be this excited about a stamp 😍

In case anyone doesn't know, this is a symbol that basically means "things are not very okay here right now" :(

My boyfriend bought me this cart from Ikea and fulfilled my dream of a postcrossing cart 😭 Since I’m chronically ill, it is very difficult sometimes for me to put everything back and clean up. But not I have this and when I don’t have the strength to do all that, I can just put everything in there and can roll it behind the TV/shelf and it doesn’t annoy me or anyone anymore! I am so happy and it still feels unreal! (He got me a huge batch of vintage international postcards as well, that he got off of a local fb gifting group!!!!!!!) If you have a similar problem I recommend this system! How do you store your stuff?

Today was my very first World Postcard Day. I worked very hard all week to have everything ready to go. I saved my 5 Postcrossing slots for the occasion and requested them first thing this morning. All told, I had 72 cards to mail. I braced myself knowing that I would have to visit multiple post offices to be able to get all of those card hand canceled since they have a limit per visit.

I drove to my favorite post office near me and since it was just after opening they weren’t busy. I was warmly greeted and I responded with “Happy World Postcard Day”! I showed them my stack of cards and they loved the postal theme on them. And since they weren’t busy, they helped me get every single one of my cards stamped in support of the day! I cannot express my gratitude for such a pleasant experience. This is how the post office should operate.

Thank you USPS. You guys really came through for me, today!

You’ve probably seen my WPD postcard before. It’s the “Paper Bridges” theme ^^

I’ve just moved to Canada & I’ve had to slow down on Postcrossing a bit because of the postage prices =(! I decided to illustrate and print my own postcards so I can keep doing Postcrossing, while also satisfying my love for decorating~

This postcard was sent to someone in the same country as me (USA)

Still figuring it out as I go.. hopefully it will make its journey fine. Should I add a layer of cold laminate? Tips and comments welcomed.

Swipe for coolest cancellation I’ve ever received. I’ll proudly display this card.

As the title says, I made some stamps to put on the postcards :) the small one is to put the ID in :D

i actually relate to it so much as well.. also the stamps were AMAZING!!

I bought some plain black postcards and tried making my own mother-of-pearl-inspired postcards! Although all I really did was stick some stickers on them, so I'm not sure if I can even call them handmade. 😂

Mother-of-pearl-inspired designs have become quite popular in Korea lately. There's a discount store chain called Daiso, where most things are really affordable, and they recently released a collection of traditional Korean-themed stickers. They're not made of real mother-of-pearl but they're holographic stickers that give a similar shimmering effect.

I thought they'd be perfect for making postcards, so I decided to give it a try. At first, I painted some white postcards with black acrylic paint. Unfortunately, the cards were too thin, so I glued two extra layers together to make them sturdier. They ended up looking a bit messy and bulky.

So I bought some thicker black postcards instead and gave it another try today. I managed to make five.

Now I'm planning to finish them with a coat of glossy varnish. I've been a little busy lately but I'd love to make a few more whenever I have some free time.

Once they're all finished, I'm hoping to swap them with other postcard lovers! 💌💕

Genuinely I'm so head over heels for them, they are sooo beautiful I wish I could have bought the whole box!! haha Definitely will come back but 300 Yen of stamps will probably suffice for some time - I can't wait to send them out!!💫
