Hurray! The Guernsey Postcrossing stamp has just launched today and is now making its way around the world to many happy mailboxes!
In order to celebrate the event, postcrossers from the island and abroad got together today to send their first cards with the shiny new stamp. Guernsey Post kindly prepared a room for the eager postcrossers, who wrote and stamped to their heart’s content…
… and ate the delicious cake a talented baker at the post office did for us! Isn’t it gorgeous?
The local newspaper and TV channel were also in attendance, and so we hope that a few islanders will find out about the project in the media tomorrow and decide to join!
And here’s Michael (aka GIBSONMS) with the stamp! Michael was the enthusiastic postcrosser who approached Guernsey Post with the idea for a stamp.
Our big thank you to him for his initiative and to Dawn Gallienne at Guernsey Post, for deeming Postcrossing worthy of this honor. We really appreciate it!
It was a great day! Happy Postcrossing, everyone! :)
PS – If you’re interested, the stamp, postcard, and postcard+stamp+cancellation mark combos can be purchased online at the Guernsey Stamps website.

I've ordered collectible items from Guernsey Post before. Despite the small population they represent/service, they have a lot of variety! How exciting that they now provide an official Postcrossing stamp! I'll be ordering commemorative items for my collection! :)
Looking forward to receiving this stamp on a postcard in the very near future. I see my friend in the group photo and I hope she and all the other lucky Postcrossers in Guernsey for the launch had a wonderful time. I'm sure they did!!
Awesome! The stamp is just perfect, very cheerful. Postcrossing has given me nothing but smiley faces just like the one on the stamp!
P.S. Love the cake!
It would be so special to receive one of these postcards.
Gorgeous and a great effort by the local Postcrossers. Well done everyone.
So fun! Kudos all around!
Thanks to the postal officials for their interest and it is a great effort. Congratulations to the baker on his/her wonderful cake!
Ahhh if only we could be there!!! Imagine if all postcrossers were in one room!!!!
Michael, great idea! The postcrossing stamp is very nice....
wonderful report :) thanks to all, who made this great stamp possible and for sharing the event with us.
The cake is like a replica of the stamp! So nicely done! :D
Thank you and everyone for their hardwork and effort! Hope someday I will get this postcard with the matching stamp! ^_^)/

Also, I'm currently doing a lottery on the forum for five of these postcards and stamps sent from Guernsey if anyone is interested (Closing date: 11th June).
I want to receive this cute stamps with the matching card!
Thanks to Michael, thanks to Guernsey! I like this stamp very much and will be happy to receive a maxicard. I still have several belarusian Postcrossing maxicards.
Hope I will receive the maxicard from Guensey :) It is really nice :)
This is so wonderful. A big thank-you to Michael for this great ideal and also to the Guernsey Post to make it true.
This is very nice
Congratulations to everybody! :)
What a great day.
Fantastic stamp! Thanks to Michael for the design and Guernsey Post for approving it. I've ordered a Mint one for my husband's collection and others to send to Postcrossers who would like one. All that's left is for me to phone my step-daughter and ask her to send me the Guernsey card complete with stamp.
You made it! Congrats!
And what a great idea to 'eat' the postcard and the stamp!!!!!
Congratulations to all who had to do with the appearance of the stamp.
This stamp issue is attractive in design and strong in color. Just great and enthusiastic.
