Making this season's personalized postage stamp is child's play

 

                                                      
The personalized postage stamp has arrived!  It’s perfect for all your holiday and Christmas Cards and they will make your card and parcels extra special.  Zazzle has got an absolutely brilliantly easy service that I managed to set up in only a few minutes.  And once you’ve done one, you’ll be speeding along.

Just think how great it will be to send your mail out with these personalized beauties! We’ve just has a family wedding, so how great will it be to send all my cards and photo frames in stamped with the same stunning photo!  Family and friends will love them.  Especially as it shows you’re going the extra mile.

The great thing is you don’t have to leave your desk.  It  can all be done so easily and what’s more, then ship within 24 hours.

Here’s what Zazzle themselves have to say about their great service:

"Make every letter a special delivery with your own customized postage! Add your own photos, designs, business logos, and text to design your own custom postage that can be sent through standard U.S. Mail. Perfect for wedding announcements, birthday invitations, holiday cards, and promotional advertising. Make a unique and useful gift for friends and family".

If you think the technology is beyond you you’re be pleasantly surprised.  I’ve never made them before and I managed mine in just a few minutes.  The hardest part (honestly) was finding and choosing the right photo for the job and deciding what to say!  If you work this out before you start the next bit is child’s play.

Here’s the 1-2-3 of what to do.

1. Log onto zazzle.com and go to their custom postage page.
2. Click on ‘Create Postage’ yellow button on the right hand side of the page
3. Click the ‘Select  image’ in the central greyed out box
4. This takes you to a new ‘upload image’ window (hit ‘browse’ as you would normally, to locate your image file)
5. Now click  ‘select image’ to load image into software
6. Add text to your design
7. You can then change the text placement/font etc and/or photo if you want to
8. When you’re done click 'add to cart’

Why not make up a selection while you're at it for later in the year.  And think about sending them to those who perhaps can't get out to buy their own stamps, or for those away from home, who might like a reminder of folks back home.

Make sure to check out your Country's postage restrictions and legalities if you're buying outside of the U.S. 

At $16.95 for 20 they’re a great way to add that personalized postage stamp to your outgoing mail – Christmas time, and throughout the year!
