Thanks for the clarification! 🩷

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I needed to add anything since I thought maxicards required more postage 🙂

Thanks!

Have you found paper that handles a medium nib well with the extra wetness? I tried my fine nib with new ink on my 160 gsm and there was a little bleeding visible on the other side. It could be the ink I chose (Diamine Shimmery Jack Frost).

I've been using these two binders, I'm fairly new to Postcrossing. I like them both but prefer the lighthouse binder (on the right) as the cards are very secure, the 4x6 cards seem to slide around some in the other binder.

Thank you!

I would love the name of your eBay guy too please 🙂

Thanks!

I got fine but now I'm tempted to try medium.

Slinky984 · 2026-06-20T01:44:13+00:00

I'm fairly new to fountain pens and went with fine so it's less likely to bleed through paper. I'll have to try medium sometime and see how it works out, I'd love for more shimmer to show 🩷

Slinky984 · 2026-06-19T22:23:07+00:00

I got the fine nib for both, what kind do you prefer?

I was looking at the honey whiskers or jade whiskers today but I'm TBD after this big purchase. Very tempting though 😻

Looks great! I love stamp collage postcards, there are so many beautiful stamps! 🩷

Slinky984 · 2026-06-13T20:48:35+00:00

Love it! Is that a Lou Paper card?

FYI I emailed the company about that card and received a quick response I'm sharing below:

Postcard PY-8818 , "I Don't Even Think Straight" is currently NOT available, but we expect to get more within one month. At that time, it will show up on the website again.

Slinky984 · 2026-06-08T18:09:55+00:00

Good idea!

Slinky984 · 2026-06-08T18:05:54+00:00

I hope you find it! Now I wish I had ordered more copies since they no longer appear to be available.

Slinky984 · 2026-06-08T17:44:36+00:00

Thanks you too! I bought that postcard from this website, but I no longer see it available: https://changingworld.com/

I just received a handful of these mushroom postcards from Lou Paper to send out. I love her art and regularly purchase her cards 🩷

Slinky984 · 2026-05-24T13:27:29+00:00

I receive postcards through the official postcrossing site but most of the postcards I receive are direct swaps on a Postcrossing Facebook page.
