Winter exchange part 1







A fun hotrod-related envelope from Jean.



And the second of the four different holiday franks, even though the envelope was handstamped. Hello, Hermey! 






And from a non-exchange card, Santa!




A very blurry Bumble. If I get a better one, I'll blog it as well.




And here's a Rudolph cancel that happened to coincide perfectly with a design on the envelope:


And the vending machine 'sticker' version:

And fun script in two styles from Florence.



I also like the style she used on the return address for her own name - I'll have to give this a try, although I bet it is harder than it looks.

This beauty is from Janet F. Perfect stamp and accompanying scene.


And then you flip it over and it is faux postage and stamp city! Love the year of the horse artistamp.

Fun envelope from Wendy, including some fantastic vintage Christmas stamps. Does she know that diagonals on envelopes are a feature of mine?

And one from Karen. The details that she took from the stamp and incorporated/extended onto the envelope, like the tree line in the distance, are amazing.

A traditional beauty from Smash with vintage stamps. The silver and black script against the dark green background is striking.

Marti sent this one - a great combination of things, including a vintage Christmas stamp and a contemporary one from a few years ago.


The back of this one is also fun.


And I received an envelope with this vending machine 'sticker' - a forever version of the stamp above.

  1. I have received your Christmas envelope today. I like the way you put the stamps on (very tricky at first!), and of course the Christmas & cookies & knit & stamps theme. Thank you very much!

    1. That's what makes these exchanges so much fun - all the different ideas that come back.
