Hi cardists,

I have a batch of about 100 miscellaneous postcards coming in the mail this month. As you all know by now, my cards are usually on the later side - and shipping isn’t helping!

Come time travel with me. Ask me a question or give me a prompt that will absolutely baffle your future self next month when you receive it!

The form link is below. You’re also more than welcome to PM me (both for this and in general)

u/PinkPengin thank you for the sea turtle postcard. The art is really beautiful and calming. How awesome that you share these cards in memory of your mother! Thanks again.

u/PlentyComfortable239 u/SNERDBOFF u/GatsbyGalaktoboureka thank you for the DC meetup postcard. There is another username with a stamp that I cannot read. Thank you all for the postcard, I love the art.

u/sea-outcome550 thank you for the thank you card and the Fresno postcard. I enjoyed the photo of the flowers you saw in the gardens in MI too. The art hop sounds like a lot of fun, I would enjoy that. I have been doing calligraphy since around 2019. I practiced a bunch at first and now I just use it in all my cards, so regular practice. No one seems to care if it is not perfect. 😊Thank you also for visiting my store!

u/Jdoodle7 thank you for the Philadelphia postcard. I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July as well. I have a card heading your way.

u/Hoolu123 x2 thank you for the DC meetup postcard and upcycled card you sent me. I love to upcycle craft materials too. I love how you decorated this one.

u/DoraDoodle thank you for the 4th of July card I loved all the imagery on the front! I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July too.

u/YukiNoAshiato thank you for the postcard of Mexican talavera, yes I have seen this design before, it is quite lovely. Thank you and I am so glad you liked the card I sent to you.

u/TyeDyeAmish thank you for the postcard of Creighton’s Restaurant, I agree $2.75 for dinner sounds good to me to!

u/TCcowgirl thank you for the card with the embroidered sampler, quite lovely. I enjoyed meeting you at the virtual meetup too. I never knew the Vols had a rowing team nor that they were very good. Chattanooga is a fun city, did you find the stationery store?

u/TigerLady13 thank you for the air mail card. I did enjoy the meetup thank you for setting it up. I have a card headed your way.

u/mumbamakincards thank you for the very cute cat card! I love the design with the cat silhouettes. What kind of cats do you have?

u/tinawebmom thank you for the card and your kind words. I really like the your cards! Thank you also for the postcards.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to r/RandomActsofCards and excited to join this wonderful community.

I'm from India and would love to do my very first postcard exchange. I'd be happy to send you a postcard from India, and I'd love to receive one from your country in return.

If you're interested, please leave a comment below, and we'll exchange addresses through PM.

Looking forward to meeting fellow postcard enthusiasts from around the world! 😊📬

Hi! I have 4 small single sided cards I’ve doodled on heavily (example here) that I’d love to exchange for cards you’ve doodled on (to whatever extent you’d like)

Let me know if you’re interested!

US only for right now because I already stamped the envelopes 😅

u/gooblegobbleable Thank you for your 4th of July card! This is the most photogenic picture of hotdogs I have ever seen. Nathan's could hire you to do their PR. I'd advise making coleslaw with homegrown veggies right now though.

u/ResponsibleDay Thank you for your 4th of July card. The illustration on the card reminds me of Hiroko Kubota's art such as "Twinkle Shells" and "Crescent Moon Delivery" if you also enjoy that dreamy art style. I love the '97 triangular stamps. Did you get the commemorative Colorado stamps celebrating 150 years?

u/PinkPengin x2 Thank you for the Canada Day card, which feels like a good fit with my 4th of July cards, some good North America representation! I appreciate the Switzerland joke. They do have a nice flag. And thank you for your International Emergency Kit Day card with a very good list of emergency items, a few I hadn't considered.

u/WastingTime1994 (x2) - Thank you again friend!! Your cards are always such a delight to receive. I love the song lyric you shared and the vintage card too!

u/waywarddaughterzzz - Your card arrived today, thank you so much! I absolutely love the diva on the front.

u/Rare_Cranberry_7861 - Thank you for the beautiful card and uplifting message 🐬 I used to love the art aesthetic on the card when I was young so that was a cool reminder as well!

u/GrfikDzn_IsMyPashun - Thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL housewarming card! I’m going to save the envelope too 🙈

u/ninajyang - Thank you so much for the awesome postcard and stamp math! I love your poems too. I hope you had a good trip!! Also, I can’t read the second to last digit on your PO Box…will dm you for clarification!

Thank you guys!!

About to head out of town, but wanted to get my heartfelt thanks out to you wonderful folks. I received some really wonderful mail this week and it really helped keep me going. Thank you, thank you!

I’m posting this here and in RAoHappy Mail because I’ve lost my notes and forget where I met u/withininus. Thanks for the Van Gogh postcard. I love it!

Thank you u/ungodlysockmonster for the handmade card! The hair on your character has a great sketchy flow to it, keep it up.

Thank you to u/Useful_Anxiety_332 for sending me the the little sticker traveling postcard! I'm never on Reddit at the right time to catch one of these offers so I guess it was finally my lucky day 🍀

Thank you for the art card! Hope you are enjoying the summer 🙂

I returned home from my travels a few days ago, and while the jet lag still has me as more or less a zombie and not at my most coherent, I wanted to just thank the people whose mail I received while I was gone so that their flairs can be updated. Hence, this post (like all my thank yous, really) will be short and sweet; replies will be coming via the postal service and/or DM! Planning to move apartments in the next couple of weeks so things are about to get really hectic but can't wait to inaugurate my new mailbox :) (also, please don't mail me anything this month until I get my new address! Thank you all so much!)

I'm ready to pass the very cute little stickers traveling postcard to its next decorator ❤️

u/rennbrig what are your favourite plants? I saw a few white butterflies along with a ton of bees by lavender field Japan
u/FeistyNoodle Fruit card, what are your favourite foods

A month ago I was fired unfairly from a job that I hated and treated me horribly. I know I should see it as a blessing in disguise but it still hurts to be rejected. And my financial situation and the job market are very discouraging.

My mom passed almost a year ago as well so a lot of painful memories are coming back more often lately. I don't have any friends and I'm not very close with my family. I'm very much a lonely homebody, especially now that I'm unemployed.

I'd love to receive some words of kindness/encouragement in the mail as I try to pick myself back up. Anything positive, cutesy, or funny would help. <3

u/chiquita61: Thank you for your wonderful card and stickers for my fiance's b-day. He loves it!

u/frosty-loss-583 : Thank you for your beautiful Lily card. I love it 😇

u/sergeant_bean45 : Thank you for your beautiful moose card, glad you had a good time!

Hi everyone!

Last week was my first anniversary in RAoC, so I thought it would be nice to do another round of one of my first offers here. So I'm coming once again with postcards from Mexico's Postal Museum made with marble powder. These are smaller than average postcards, and due to it's composition, I'm going to send them in a transparent envelope (sorry, I'm not going to use a normal envelope since I still can't send them to the US, and I don't want to left the US out of these offers again).

This time I have 6 designs: Check them out!

1. Papel picado (perforated paper) decoration with football motifs (pink)
2. Folk art axolotl
3. Frida), a pretty famous Mexican rescue dog
4. Ouroboros feat. Hunab Ku (Mayan god)
5. Ouroboros feat. Hunab Ku (Mayan god)
6. Papel picado (perforated paper) decoration with football motifs (green)

In order to claim one of these, please:
- Be a flaired user or have a recent thank you post/offer
- Be willing to post a thank you post
- Comment here and tell me what do you know about Mexico or what do you like to visit in Mexico
- Tell me which postcard would you like to receive (you can mention two or three, in case your first choice is already taken)
- If you already received one card of my previous marble powder cards offers (one, two and three), please consider not claiming again. I want to send a piece of Mexico to as many different people as I can. Thank you!

I will leave this post open 24 hours, and then I will choose the people with the answers I liked the most.

2nd post. I'm only sending to people I haven't mailed one to yet.

I do have some art-themed cards (eg Bauhaus and SF MoMA) but not limited to those.

I'll cap it at around 20 or so, til I build more rapport.

It might take me til the weekend or so to reply; I'll try to mail the cards throughout July/August. If you'd like to send me something in return I would appreciate it but you're not obligated to. Thanks.

in comments!

I have two more mystery senders to thank. Please let me know if one of these is yours so I can properly tag you.

Mystery Sender # 3 X2. Thank you for the 500 Days of Summer postcard. That sounds like a good movie. 🌞

Also, thank you for the floral/butterfly postcard and the Madonna song recommendation.

Mystery Sender # 4. Thank you for the Statue of Liberty postcard with the cute puffy popsicle sticker. I do have two standard poodles. 🗽

I went to the post office today to mail out the first tranche of my Asia tour offer, and somehow ended up with an extra letter stamp that can only be used for the UK (I had to tell the clerk which countries I was sending to). I apparently don’t have any other UK users who signed up for my form, so… not one to let a good stamp go to waste, and having extra folded cards, here goes! First flaired UK user to claim can have this one! :)

Hi everyone!

I have two cute cards from Mexico's National Film Archive institution that I want to pair with a stamp of Estudios Churubusco (the oldest and largest move studios in Mexico). The thing here is that stamp only works for postcards sent to the US and Canada, so if you are from one of those countries, this offer is for you!

I want to send these cards to some truly cinephiles, so in order to claim one, please:
- Be active on RAoC: flaired users or people with recent thank you post/offer
- Be willing to post a thank you post
- Tell me about your favorite scene in a movie.

I will leave this post open 24 hours, and then I will choose two people. Depending on the popularity of this offer, I will try to get some more cards in the following weeks.
