no news? :sad:

 

ah well. i bet we'll get some soon.

 

i bought a postcard with butterflies on it today at borders, but that's not what i'm going to send. i FINALLY came up with a second idea.

 

AND i went to a craft store today and i found a hole punch that's in the shape of a butterfly and looks almost EXACTLY like the butterfly confetti from the concerts! (though a little smaller) i'm using the punch-outs to decorate my second postcard :nice:

 

aww, that's a really nice idea!!!! :nice:

 

& let's be patient people!!!!

 

We know Debs likes the whole proyect, so i'm sure it won't take long for her response to get to Lore!!!!! ;)

thanks a lot!

POSTCARDS

 

I'm so excited! I want to send my postcard as soon as possible! Could someone tell me where do I have to send the postcard and when? I'm from Argentina, and it takes a lot of time to send a postcard to the other side of the world, you know.

 

Thanks for help!

 

My e-mail is [email protected]

awwww, i love how they match the (*hopefully* official) logo! :dance:

 

i honestly don't know why the rest of us bother :lol:

 

as you know, these are the only things i would tweak:

 

1) not allowing a space for return address on the right side, since this could confuse the post office--postcards usually only allow ONE address on them

 

2) once we get the official address, adding that in where it says "coldplay, the bakery"

 

:nice:

good points, Chelsea :nice:

 

I hope to bring good news tomorrow :dance:

Thanks Lore :D

 

I updated the post with full versions of both designs, if people ever decide to print them :wink:

Plus, I uploaded a big version of my stamp, if it ever gets used.

 

EDIT: Yeah, I'll look into it, chelsea :D Hopefully I'll correct the address issue sometime this week, and i'll update my post.

This is such a great idea! Count me in. Im going to get started on a personalized post card. I think Ill use the photo I took of the butterfly that landed on my door this summer just before Viva was released...

please guys, just post here your questions regarding the project, so it will be easier to find the posts! :)

I was thinking of in case we decide the cards can be sent in enveopes, I will fill mine with butterfiles made by paper puncher of butterfly confettis.

Maybe they will hate to clean after they opened it but hey it would or could be nice still:)

is an mark with AIRMAIL required if i send the card from Germany?

would it be the easiest way to design my own postcard on the pc, print this out, and adhere it to the front side of a normal postcard?

will there be a news entry on the main page of coldplaying.com when Debs' P.O. box is known?

is an mark with AIRMAIL required if i send the card from Germany?

That shouldn't be necessary, but remember that it's not 0,45€ but 0,65€ to send a postcard to GB!

According to http://www.deutschepost.de it takes 2-4 days for the card to reach its destination.

"Please send your postcards by AIRMAIL and that you receive and attach the appropriate stickers at the post office." That was said in the guidelines above. Is it still 0,65€ then?

hmmmmm, drums fingers on table, waits PATIENTLY

I'm gonna make my own postcard, and I decided to put a photo of me. That's a good idea to all of you, dear fans! Hope you like it! Carolina

the wait is killing me............... :dead:

Hey, I decided that it would be cool to make a postcard design to match my Logo/ stamp i posted in the other thread :nice:

 

I have some variations, so I can make more if you want!

 

Here's a medium sized version of DESIGN #1:

I'll upload more if I get any suggestions, or if I find some inspiration, but in the mean time, here's an example of how your message could look, with the appropriate stamp (using DESIGN #2):

Also, here's the FULL RESOLUTION VERSION of the stamp/logo I created, just in case :wink:

Hope these will come in useful :nice:

Remember, I can edit any part of these designs, so if you want anything tweaked, please give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

 

Hi!!!

Why did you put in the address to Coldplay: The bakery?:\

 

BYE!!
