"Postcrossing"
is an international and strongly growing hobby in which people from different
parts of the world send each other traditional postcards. In the future,
Finnish enthusiasts will be able to send their cards using dedicated stamps.
The Postcrossing booklet (shown above the FDC) released by Itella Posti Oy features
four 1st class NVI stamps and Priority labels. The layout of
the stamp sheet, which can be folded in two in the middle, was made by the
Helsinki-based design agency Kokoro & Moi.
The postcrossing
website www.postcrossing.com currently has
more than 426,000 registered users from 214 countries. The basic idea of
postcrossing is that each sender of a card receives at least one card back from
a random sender somewhere in the world. Globally, postcrossers send
approximately 600 postcards every single hour. There are some 15,000
postcrossers in Finland, and so far they have sent more than 1.7 million cards.
Thank you Dear friend Ella for this lovely FDC and the stamp booklet.
