This is where to create your own postage stamp for holiday cards or birth announcements! Personalized stamps are such a fun way to add that extra touch.
Are you ready to send holiday cards, birth announcements, or another fun thing in the mail you want to customize even more??!! Well, I found where to create your own postage stamp last year and it was such a fun touch! In less than 5 minutes I was able to upload our favorite photo of the year and create this personalized stamp to put on our holiday cards this year but I can see so many other occasions it would be wonderful for too!
Create your own postage stamp
If you’re looking to create your own postage stamp I have a great place to do just this, and there are so many options to make it exactly what you’re looking for! 😉 I will say that these were made on Minted, but they don’t offer them anymore so I found somewhere else to share!
I bought them there year after year with my yearly holiday cards you can personalize too and was sad when they stopped it, but there is an alternative. Whether you want Christmas cards, Hanukkah cards, or a general style they have tons to choose from and I still recommend them for cards. Hands down they do the best job.
Isn’t this just so cool??!! You can see last years and this years below, I wouldn’t have it any other way now because I’ve received so many compliments on them. You can create a postage stamp with your photos here too.
Customized Stamps
We always take the time to take a new family photo each year, use it to make our cards, make some custom photo art projects like me did here last year with this heart print we have over our couch.
I incorporate it into our yearly calendars we give as gifts, and make a canvas print to hang on our walls too! If you have relatives who live far away personalized gifts are just the best, and putting a personal touch on your holiday cards can be so fun.
- Weddings
- Baby announcements
- Baby showers

Personalized postage stamps
You can create one really easily on Minted.com and you can upload any photo you want. There are even designs where you can upload more than one photo and you can print a word or date on it too, like we did last year. You can see both designs on this envelope.
I like to use a picture from our biggest road trip of that year (we travel a lot as a family) because it really differentiates it from other cards with standard postage and is an added personalized element to our Christmas cards each year.
I could see these custom stamps being a wonderful addition to a baby announcement where you could upload a fun candid picture of your baby and save the professional picture for the announcement itself. Of course you can do it all on Minted online and have them delivered right to your door!
- They even have foil stamped birth announcements that are gorgeous. You can see how the foil stamped cards look as ours above is that way and really brings and beautiful dramatic touch to any card.
There are a few finishes to choose from depending on the style of your home, and it collapses easily to fit into the box with our ornaments and Christmas decorations which I love! Just slide each card into the holders on the sides and hang it on a nail or use a removable hook from the store.
Where to Order Personalized Gifts
Ok on to ordering personalized gifts I create each year. Calendars are a MUST according to my aunts and grandmother who live on the other side of the United States and we rarely see unfortunately. I create these which are great because it’s a gift that lasts all year and they can look at a new photo of their great grandchildren/nieces each and every month!
I will say I have ordered them over the years at a few different places and the clarity and design options on Minted are the best by far. They are really pretty and it is easy for me to upload one or more pictures to each month, or create a collage if I want. Also…it’s a personal gift that doesn’t take me long to create but they SO enjoy receiving them each year….it’s a win win really.
I would like to create an official postage stamp using our Fallen Hero’s picture, how can I create this stamp and keep it on file so I can reorder at any time? Thank you
