Holiday Postage Inspiration

Looking to elevate your holiday mailings this year with vintage stamps? Below are some beautiful card suites from Dixie Design Collective that all have at least $0.55 in face-value postage (the current first class standard envelope price).

A few things to remember on how much postage is needed… If your card has any of the following attributes, it will require additional postage:

Over one ounce? Add $0.15 (for every additional ounce)
Square? Add $0.15
Rigid? Add $0.15
Not a standard envelope? It’s complicated (ask the post office ;-))
… if your card has all of the above, you are looking at an additional $0.45 in postage.

Check with your post office to be sure, or use the USPS Postage Calculator to estimate the correct amount of postage.

Remember, the easiest way to dress up your cards’ envelopes at low cost is to use a current forever stamp and then over-post the envelope by adding one or two low-value vintage holiday stamps. …Are you adding more postage than what’s needed? Yes, BUT, you are actually spending less on the project when all is said and done.
