Postcard Club Illustrations (Year 3)
The “Postcard Club” is back for year three! Since beginning in 2023, I’ve been creating and mailing these monthly designs.
2024 was the year of the dragon, and 2025 is the year of the snake! Snakes can symbolize growth and rebirth since they shed their skin, so one sticker for the month features snakes surrounded by sprouting leaves, spelling out the year. January’s postcard was a festive forest New Year’s party! The animal friends are ringing in the new year with a snowy woodland party.

This month's postcard features some salamanders enjoying a "moss market"! They've been gathering treasures from the forest, and have more than enough to share - so the salamanders are setting up some booths with pretty feathers, colorful leaves, tasty berries, and shiny acorns.
This month's sticker is "mundane magic" sticker, which features lightning bugs and was the first in an illustration series of everyday or "mundane" things that feel like magic (like fireflies). The salamander theme continues with the 2nd sticker for the Premier Postcard Club & Vinyl Sticker Club: this red salamander is rhododendron royalty!

This month's designs were all about love! And puns :)
Some of you might remember the "You Are My Favo-rat" sticker from a previous February, but I wanted to revisit that in more detail. So here's the postcard for February, a rat sharing a love letter with his favorite, or favo-rat! For the stickers, everyone got a "Hisses and Kisses" sticker (or whole sticker sheet depending on the tier), inspired by animals who hiss, but still deserve a kiss!
