Photo Postage Stamps


Has anyone made their own postage stamps at stamps.com? I had some picture stamps made to match some of the cards I sent - they cost a little more than 37 cents though!

  No profit in making custom stamps for the same price it cost to get your stamp supply.

  Cost you more than 37 cents to get them made, but they are worth 37 cents postage. They look like whatever picture you get put on them.

  Good Morning Agnes,
You may want to contact Murry Grisby, I think he made his own stamps this year.
Merry Christmas
Deb

  Agnes,
I saw these for the first time while on the usps site a few weeks ago. I think it's a cool gift idea. I wondered about the quality- were you happy with them?

  The quality is great as long as you give them a good photo. Glossy, just like the flag stamps you get. Of course they cost more, because it's a premium item, but you can choose the postage value of the stamp depending on what you're putting them on. I've seen them for an invitation, and they looked really cute.

  Michelle I have a question on the postage stamps.

To get the discount for like 25 sheets do all the sheets have to have the same image on them or can you have several different images on the sheets?

I like to have several of the photoballs printed up on stamps but not just one on all the sheets.

Also my little models birthday is in Jan. she be 11 and I like to have a couple images I taken of her put on a couple of the sheets for her birthday.

  I haven't ordered from them personally, but I did do a test, and it looks like you need the same image to get the discount. But if you ordered 2 sheets of two different images, it would be the same price as if you ordered 4 sheets of one image (because the discount is from 2-9 sheets). Also notice the postage price is increasing the first of the year to $0.39.

  We held a Family Portrait event at my home while training some photographers, before the holidays.
I was surprised to get a Christmas Card from my Nieghbor with a portrait stamp of his daughter I had done.
Such a cute idea!
he had them done at: zazzle.com

  Michelle thank you.

I like to order a different images on each sheet but would like to get the discount. I wonder if there is away to do that.

I want to get them for my little models birthday gift in Jan. I think she would love them.

  Debby I went to Zazzle.com and I can order one image per sheet of twenty stamps and as many sheets as I want with a different image on them and get the discount.

Thank for the site name Debby.
