Valentine’s Day 09: GQ Jay Photo Cards & Stamps!

GQ Jay VDAY Card Design


For Valentine’s Day I decided to design Valentine’s Day photo cards of Boogie and send them out to family. I had the design completed weeks ago but why will I be mailing them today…Valentine’s Day? Time always seems to get away from me no matter how hard I try to do things early.

When thinking about the design of the photo cards, I wanted to dress Boogie up like Cupid and go with red schemed cards. The more I thought about it, the more unoriginal and babyish the idea seemed. I mean come on, Boogie is too mature for that, lol! When I look at him, I see a big boy in a little dumpling’s body. I thought it would be best to do GQ themed photo cards.

Sending out Valentine's Day photo cards


To add a special touch, I decided to use customized Photo Stamps on each envelope.

I know, I know. Postage is already through the roof, so it is hard to justify the price of Photo Stamps. If you choose to purchase Photo Stamps, it’s best to use them for special occasions. Send them to people who would appreciate them. Order a sheet of 27 cent stamps and then use a regular 17 cent stamp to foot the balance. It always helps to check online for coupon codes as well.

I can’t wait until the photo cards arrive in the hands of our family and friends. I know they are going to love and get an extra kick out of the little hottie on the postage.

Special thanks to the folks at stamps.com for providing us with Photo Stamps this Valentine’s Day!
