Postoids, artistamps, Cinderella stamps, whatever you wish to call them, they are fun to make and receive on envelopes!

You will design 3 different DW-themed artistamps, and create at least 9 of them (3 each). One of each will be affixed to the outside of the envie for your partner, and 6 (2 each) will be included inside for your partner to use later. If you decide to design more than 3, please include 2 of each in case your partner wants to save one and use one! Please also include a flat, DW-themed surprise for your partner.

Each stamp design should be for a different amount. The type of currency can be invented by you, fictional, real, anything--just so long as each design's cost is different.

No need to make these sticky, we can glue them on. They should be around the same size as 'normal' stamps. Any medium that can easily be glued on an envie and mailed is acceptable.

Googling can help with examples and border designs, for the neat perforated border (optional).

Recap:

  • Design a minimum of 3 different stamps

  • Create a minimum of 9 stamps (3 each)

  • Use 1 of each on the envie

  • Include 2 of each in the envie

  • Include a flat surprise

Let me know if you have questions!

These can be created digitally, correct? I don't have to hand draw anything, right?

-> sucks at drawing for the most part;

Correct! Any medium is fine. If you are doing them digitally, instead of just putting an internet image, dress it up a bit. Add postage amounts, a border, etc. I plan to do at least some of mine digitally. :)
