I actually use the cardboard Australia Post puts in with the Maxicards I buy - One side is blank, the other has the names of the places/objects that are on the cards. I just cover up the side that’s already printed on and write on the blank side.

This is one of my stamp collages, most of them were self-adhesive and the way I get the paper off leaves the glue behind so I just stick them straight back on. for the older ones (like the green 2c QEII) I just used a regular glue stick. I haven’t had any of these arrive yet so I’m yet to receive feedback on how they travelled.
My cross-stitched cards or the Totoro I shared above were sent in home-made envelopes to people who indicated they didn’t mind, or even preferred an envelope to be used.

As the recipient received it, I post it today. My first try with my Zig Clean Color Dots pens.

Still work in progress but I’m glad I continued. The first result of the squirrel background was awful and I left the postcard untouched for several weeks out of frustration. Right now I’m content with the current result, hopefully not ruining it in the end. However, I had so much fun that I didn’t realise how fast time flew by.
