X,Y,Z...Zip Codes! A Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Happy Monday! We have a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge today. We're challenging you to use the letters X,Y, or Z. I was inspired by the letter Z and created postcards with "Zip Codes".
No envelope is necessary for these stamped Postcards. Like the appointment reminders from the Doctor's Office, there's plenty of room to write the recipients name on the other side. I love the postal stamps from the Tim Holtz Correspondence set. Another favorite set is the Apothecary Halloween Set. The labels are awesome and I love the script stamp. I use this set all year long!

I love using real vintage photos whenever possible and I love sharing them too. I created a FREE PDF of the Vintage Photos for you. Download & Enjoy!


X,Y,Z! Link your project to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp. We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

    "Mail moves the country, zip codes move the mail." My how things have changed--now we call it snail mail! I share your love of mail art and see how Tim's new stamp set would be really useful. These are fun photos, too, and sweet of you to share them.

    What retro goodness is here! I've told you before how I love the way you pay homage to the past and make "forgotten" people and scenes beautiful and fresh again. These are a perfect example of that, so huge kudos to another fabulous take on the challenge!
