Create beautiful, personalized envelopes with vintage stamps.
Want to use vintage stamps but don’t know where to start? You’ve come to the right place! In this course, I will teach you how to source, design, purchase, and mail envelopes with vintage stamps.
Vintage stamps are such a fun way to personalize wedding invitations—and, let’s be honest, they’re also really beautiful! However, if you haven’t used them before, it can be overwhelming and stressful.
But don’t fret, I’m here to help! With over 5 years of experience as a wedding stationer and a huge vintage stamp fanatic, I’m so excited to teach you how to use vintage stamps.
Ready to start? Beautiful envelopes, here you come.
Who Am I?
My name is Sally. I started my business, Sal Studios, 7 years ago and am so proud to have turned it into a thriving, 6-figure business. I design and letterpress print wedding invitations. I love to work with my hands and be creative, and I greatly appreciate art and beauty.
My journey with stamps started about five years ago. I have always loved estate sales, and I found this huge collection of vintage stamps at 50% off. Knowing nothing about vintage stamps, I bought them and tried them out for my brother’s wedding (thanks for being my guinea pig, Joey!). I was instantly hooked.
Vintage stamps make your envelopes stand out in the mail, and I love that they can tell you a story about the couple. I now have a massive collection of stamps myself and offer them to all of my invitation clients. It's such a fun addition to my offerings, and I can’t wait for you to be able to do this as well!

Q & A
-
We do use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop in this course, to design the sets and pitch designs to clients. However, these programs aren’t 100% necessary and you can learn to use vintage stamps without them.
-
We focus on U.S. stamps in this course. If you are in a different country, I cannot guarantee the information will apply to you. However, it can still be helpful in designing and pitching stamps to clients.
-
If you simply want to use vintage stamps for fun snail mail, this course would definitely help you! You’ll likely skip some of the content that does not apply to you (pricing for clients, pitching designs to clients, etc.)
