Hey 
Every once in a while I notice these triangled stamps from russia, but never got one even though I got many postcards from Russia…
I like them pretty much 
Are they older/hard to get?
We have none like that in Germany…
Please tell me about them

I am so glad to have found this thread! I have literally only just started postcrossing and I didn’t even think about decorating the back of my postcards! Having seen all the beautiful ‘backsides’ on here, i have now fallen down the rabbit hole and am now avidly collecting things i can use.

Here are some of my recent cards where I tried to draw characters and images by Amber Fossey (zeppelinmoon on Instagram); Kathy Lam (dawning_crow on Instagram); and alicelovesdrawing on Instagram. My heart was broken a bit when the receiver of the capybara left me a blank hooray message. However, I think I will persevere with taking time to draw on the back of the cards because it is fun (even when not appreciated).

I think your efforts are wonderful. I am limited to stickers, tape and stamps but yours is great.

Today I drew an address of a couple with 0 received cards so far. Tried to make their (potential) first card as nice as possible, still leaving enough room for a nice message. They like bikes and traveling and I chose those themes for my decorations. (the darker spots are golden, it’s not possible to catch it with the scanner)

Wow! Is the bike stamp still available? See it for the first time
No, it’s an old stamp from 2017
Haha, what if they think this is the standard?

Today I designed and sent one postcard so far. although, before you go to the hospital, you will need to arrange and send a sufficient number of postcards and letters. But I can do it, I like this activity, it inspires. I decided that there are so many people, so many opinions, and everyone has their own sense of beauty, I like the style that I develop. it’s cute and has a bit of a vintage vibe to it. It’s great to see how your collages change from time to time. The more I make postcards, the more I like it.

Thank you, Alica! If you are implying that your are limited because you can’t draw, I would like to encourage you to keep trying. 
Based on my experience, hand-eye coordination seems to be approving over the years on its own.

Thank you 
Working on this one today for a Postcrosser who loves Snoopy. I am also exploring ways to place stamps in more interesting ways.
