Hello stamp friends! 😊

We’re so glad you’re sharing your mail with the community.

Just a little reminder, While mail art is always nice to see, this subreddit is all about stamps, so they should be the star of every post.

If you’d like to include the back of an envelope or postcard, that’s totally fine—just please add it as the second slide so stamps remain the main focus of r/StampEmUp.

Thanks for helping keep this space organized, stamp-centered, and enjoyable for everyone! 📬✨

We’re so glad you found your way to our cozy corner of Reddit!

This is a place for people who love stamps, sending mail, and all the little things that make snail mail special. Whether you’re sending a letter, decorating an envelope, admiring a new stamp, or simply getting excited about something fun you found at the post office, we’re happy to have you here. 📮

So, what do we like to see?
We love seeing stamps in action—on letters, postcards, envelopes, packages, and mail art. We also love new stamps, fun stamp combinations, interesting cancellations, beautiful designs, and anything that makes you think, “Ooh, I want to put that on some mail!”
And yes, unused stamps are absolutely welcome! If you just picked up a sheet of stamps that you’re excited to use, show them off! You don’t have to wait until they’ve made it onto an envelope. 💌

What we aren’t is a traditional stamp-collecting space. Posts that are primarily about collections or albums aren’t quite what we’re about. We’re here to celebrate using and enjoying stamps, rather than building a collection.
We’re also not a marketplace or exchange group, so buying, selling, trading, swapping, or offering/requesting stamps isn’t allowed. If you’re wondering where to find a particular stamp, though, ask away! We’re happy to help each other track down those little pieces of postage.
And, of course, keep things kind, keep things postal, and keep the stamps the star. ✨

Not sure if your post fits?
Ask yourself: Are the stamps the star?
If they are, you’re probably in the right place. ❤️

Thanks for being part of r/StampEmUp. Whether you’re a longtime mail enthusiast or someone who just discovered the joy of putting a pretty stamp on an envelope, we’re glad you’re here.

📢 Need Help?
If you’ve got any questions, feel free to message the moderators via mod mail. We’re happy to assist you!

Happy stamping! 💌✨

  1. From third party sellers. I only set out to get the purple butterflies and the birds of prey, but I'm happy with my haul!

  2. From USPS in person and website. Online, they sell a sampler pack of some of this years releases. It's supposed to be random from all the releases, but I think the packs are biased towards the ones from earlier in the year. I'm glad to get the Ali and Lee stamps, though. :)

  3. One of the sellers used some of their custom stamps, though it's not clear if these are of the seller's family or some random family's photo, lol. I wish the post office would bring this back. I'd make so many stamps featuring my dog!

New Releases Winnie the Pooh stamps

4 Upvotes

I am in the US and would like to purchase a sheet of Royal Mail Winnie the Pooh stamps. Can you tell me if there would be a US Customs charge for this purchase? I have bought a number of gifts from the UK through Etsy over the years, and there has never been a Customs issue. I'm just wondering if you could provide any current advice about this from the UK side. Thanks in advance.😊

Rare Halloween release from Canada, showing off 3 different Jack-o-Lanterns. Great carvings and photography. Definitely picking up a book especially since it’s only a pack of 6 making it very affordable

Outgoing Mail Participated in my first ever postcard exchange during WPD and I was quite stoked with the stamps I used!

Hi, I just found this community and thought I'd show the stamps I had used for WPD as I was quite happy with those!

I bought peacock and peacock hand fan stamps to go with the theme of the Paper Bridges card for India designed by Christina and Eng! And vintage commemorative stamps released on the centenary of the postcard in India in 1979 that I stuck along with other stamps to make up the postage value needed!

Most of these were quite expensive, way above the denomination value and probably only bought by philatelists/collectors, but I really wanted to get some on theme and use them! (Some philatelist reading this might be dying at the thought of me absolutely tanking the value of these old MNH stamps by using them but oh well!)
