Since it’s our Anniversary Year, I thought it would be fun to share some more videos of how I created my DIY Postcards this time! I’m editing the footage of my third video (I think there will be four in total) right now and I am hoping to share it soon (it takes so many […]

The old fashioned snail mail way is blossoming in the generous and kind blogging world. I’ve received goodie bags and won giveaways, participated in swaps and I love it all!
Sarah’s Juicy Postcard Process
A mixed media process video and some fun mail art inspiration today, I hope you like it. I was thrilled when I saw that one of my long-time participants in the DIY Postcard Swap, Sarah, made a video on how she created her postcards for the last swap! I’ve made several videos myself of my […]
Please don’t hesitate: You CAN Create a Postcard
A new friend of mine is joining the DIY Postcard Swap that I host, and I’m thrilled about it. Not for myself, although it always makes me happy to see people I know personally join in – but for her. And for everyone who will get one of her postcards. The world might even be […]
10 Year Anniversary of iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap
The Postal Service is one of those things that is essential to keep the world from not entirely stopping. So important, that it is kept open even when other things are closed down to hinder the spread of that pesky virus. And Art, it is one of those things that is essential to my own […]
Stay at Home DIY Postcard Backside
Research has shown that the best way to be happy is to make each day happy. Deepak Chopra I will be emphasizing this message on my postcards this year: Stay at home, Wash your hands, Be safe, Make Postcards! I don’t think anyone actually needs to hear it (again), except maybe the two last messages. […]
Mixed Media Painted Postcards
The weather has been very Novembery around here lately. Swedish November is such a sad, sad thing. Yuck! Above no sun or even puffy clouds – only gray, foggy sky all month… The air is damp, the bike is damp, and it gets dark around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Very dark. So I feel […]
Happy Mail from Kat
I love getting happy mail, little surprises stuffed inside an envelope that you weren’t expecting… But who doesn’t right? Happy mail is so right every day of the week. I missed the day light today to take photos of my pile of Postcards for the DIY Postcard Swap (yes, you can still join – as […]
Getting started with my DIY Postcards
I have started on my fall batch of DIY Postcards, and they’re going to be a fun mix of things (very mixed media) this time, I think. It feels like it’s been a long time since I created in this messy non-linear way and I had a lot of fun with this process. In case […]
Join iHanna’s DIY Postcard Swap 2019
Each year I host an international and easy-going mail art swap that I call DIY Postcard Swap. It’s a great way to get some happy mail, so I hope you want to try it out this fall. I think we all need a little pick-me-up as it gets darker outside and the trees start loosing […]
Opening up for Happy Mail
In my blog post On the Receiving End I showd a few of the postcards I got in the DIY postcard swap last year (you can still join today – don’t miss out!). Here are the rest from that lovely pile of postcards that I received: DIY Postcard created by Julia, who sent her postcard […]
On the Receiving End
So in the last DIY Postcard Swap, which was last year, I got a bunch of cool postcards and shared them as they came in on my Facebook page Studio iHanna, but not on the blog. So I thought I’d go ahead and make a blog post to show you what kind of awesome postcards […]
