Design Crafters

Every Christmas USPS and many other postal services worldwide come out with beautiful Christmas stamps to use on the envelope of your photo Christmas cards. What many people do not realize is now you can actually make your own legitimate Christmas stamps. You can make them for any season you want, whenever you want, using your own photos!

So for Christmas time you could get creative and take a picture of the dogs dressed as reindeer and turn those into stamps. For Easter you could take a picture of your rabbit in a nest of Easter eggs. If you have a favorite beach trip with the kids, you can use that picture to make summer time stamps. Etc., etc. etc.

To find a place online that does it, simply type “create your own stamps” or “make your own stamps” into the search engine and all sorts of nifty options will appear.

If you do this, you need to make sure that they are legitimate stamps and the company you choose is an approved licensed vendor and authorized by the US Postal Service. www.PhotoStamps.com is a perfect example.  They make it unbelievably easy to make your own stamps and the price is decent too. 

It’s a great activity to do with the kids and it’ll really add character to your postcard or letter!
