Description:

This is for the postage stamp lovers out there who also enjoy a good ol' postcard.

You will have two partners.

Get a postcard and fill the whole thing with postage stamps. A low denomination is common. Try to give your partner a variety, or you can use one denomination if it's nice. It's NOT required but try and get it hand canceled at the post office if you have time. It looks prettier that way instead of having it ran through the machine or canceled by hand with a pen (some postal workers do that and I hate it :().

Any questions feel free to message me. This is an international swap.

Yes, I hate that too. I mailed a postcard to myself using my beautiful vintage stamps that way I got exactly what I wanted..LOL...AND the postcard was delivered back to me with a line drawn across all my beautiful stamps. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Its shocking how different postal offices are in how they cancel stamps. Had the dreaded big black marker thru stamps on envelopes from a swapper who lived in a retirement community. Had to stop the swaps as I feared the black marker used on surface of envelope would "bleed" into contents & damage them.
Don't the postal employees know this could happen & ruin the mail?
Going to ask my pen pal in Switzerland about that country's rule for posting letters, postcards - they can use only one stamp!
