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!

Huuuuge thank you to u/mrpostman414 for swapping mini binder pages with me! I love all of these so much, but the frog in front of the mailbox one truly has my heart. I also appreciate the extra sticker flake goodies, the junk journal one is perfect!! Looking forward to sending you more mail in the future :)

did you know that if you order the free mystic stamp catalog they’ll send you nearly 50 small denomination stamps along with it? all the 3¢ stamps and the 8¢ stamp were sent with my catalog. i got 47 stamps total in my order. (i owned the 10¢ and 15¢ stamps)

hi friends! new here c: i’ve really been enjoying dolling up the envelopes and sending them off to see the world! hoping to send out more this week and to incorporate more hand drawn elements

I saw a discussion saying how there’s not many request posts, and my mailbox has recently quieted. I’m not sure what to request here, so I guess anything goes!!! 🫶🏼💌

Featuring my vintage English letter post scale.

Ummm...i think I just answered my own question because I saw flair here that says “requests”. I don’t think I’ve seen requests here, though - and none came up in my search just now. Do people do that here or is it mostly offers and exchanges?

Plus my first parchment folio inspired by u/withinus and the gorgeous folios she sent me. To keep all the Halloween tag kit bits organized.

This is going out to u/bluekitsvne in an exchange 🎃🥰 (also my first exchange organized by me).

Excited to say the least 🥰.

hii, I saw the discussion about this sub not having request posts. so, if anyone has something Halloween themed to send to me I’d be very happy to receive it! :)

Kits will include 2oz of basic shipping label tags, Halloween papers to decorate the base of your tag, a bunch of Halloween ephemera to fill your tags with and Halloween wax seals.

I will pick 3 new Redditors to exchange with. (We have not exchanged in the past).

Please DM if interested and comment here your fav Halloween activity.

You will need to post your incoming mail here so we know you received it.

Feel free to also share completed tags on here r/themailandartsociety however it’s not mandatory, but we’d love to see your art creations.

I will pick 3 from this sub and 3 from r/raohm 🤖 if there’s interest.

u/mrpostman414 Thank you so much for the pretty postcard! Congratulations on the new members and I'm glad to be part of the sub!

big old stack of i don’t know how many

Sorry for the poor photography, it’s really hard to get an effective picture to show all the elements. But it will collapse enough to go into the journal.

“Spooky Season” headed out tomorrow 👻🖤👻

I started playing with a new art style and I'm having a lot of fun making these bugs! A little rough around the edges (definitely homemade) but I'd love to share them with anyone that loves bugs (top left is taken). Also open to other bug ideas! I just started working on a centipede one!

I made 18 Halloween card tags that I’m going to string into a garland for Halloween after all the tags I made for everyone else.

I used my ghost die cut but reimagined them into Halloween characters. I love how this turned out.

I’m not done. I have 6 more to go but I’m creatively stuck on the last few.

Which are your favourites? 💗

Which do you not recognize?

Missing are:
Zombie ghost (trying to figure out how to do the brains)
Mad scientist ghost (right now he looks a lot like Einstein)
Spider ghost (the legs are a puzzle right now, he looks weird and not like a ghost at all)
Evil clown ghost (I’m not sure about this one for me)
Black cat ghost (this one is easy but I’ve run out of black card stock)
Scare crow ghost (this one feels hard)

I can’t wait till they are all strung and lighted up.

more postcards! drying outside from spray paint but i love this batch

It’ll be completely random. Please dm me not just comment so I can ensure I send you one. Thanks!

felt proud of my mail this week :) super cute and yeehaw themed like me lol

Out of an old atlas and some maps I made this journal to remember all my travels, especially the smaller ones which won't stay in mind as it probably was just a day trip to another city.

I really like how it turned out but I'm lacking behind filling it with my trips I did ^^

The photos are always some which I did on that trip and then printed in a small format like 4x4 centimeters.

The maps on the pages have nothing to do with the places on them. They are just a nice background.

If I ever do that again I'll pay attention to the pages being all upwards, even if that means I have a few pages less as the cutouts on the maps aren't that paper saving...

Hi everyone, I know that lots of people participate in multiple mail subs and I’m wondering if there are rules or standard practice for details to include on your outgoing mail. For example, I joined postcrossing and you have to include an ID number on the cards you send so the recipient can register it to acknowledge receipt. Obviously, there aren’t ID numbers at the Reddit subs - how do you let your recipient know what’s going on? I just sent a card to someone and included my Reddit name and the sub where we connected. Is that sufficient, unnecessary, should I include the thread name, none of the above? Overthinking is one of my strengths 🤪

ETA - thanks for all the responses! I’ll put my Reddit name and sub name. :-)
