There was a time when Christmas arrived in the mailbox. Handwritten cards. Christmas stamps. Packages wrapped in brown paper. Notes from family and friends you hadn't heard from since last Christmas. Long before texts and social media, the mail was part of the anticipation of the season.

MerryPost was created to celebrate a little of that magic.

Introducing Christmas Memories — Collection No. 1, the inaugural release in the MerryPost Collectible Felt Stamp Series from MerryStockings.

This six-piece felt appliqué kit transforms some of our favorite nostalgic Christmas imagery into oversized, stitchable "postage stamps." Each finished design measures approximately 7.5" and features a classic scalloped stamp edge along with embroidery, sequins, beads and dimensional felt details.

The first collection includes six timeless Christmas scenes: a snowy country church, Christmas cardinal, cheerful snowman, holiday bells, candle centerpiece and jolly Santa Claus.

And once you've stitched them, the fun isn't over.

Display them your way.

Hang a favorite stamp individually. Connect three vertically with ribbon. Create a Christmas garland. Arrange all six on a wall hanging. Frame them. Incorporate them into your own holiday décor. Or come up with something we haven't even thought of yet.

The kit itself includes the materials needed to create the six individual felt stamp designs. Ribbons, dowels, mounting materials, frames, wall-hanging backgrounds and other display accessories shown in our photography are display inspiration only and are not included. Any additional materials needed for your chosen display method would be purchased separately.

Best of all, Christmas Memories is only the beginning.

MerryPost is being created as an ongoing collectible series from MerryStockings, with new collections planned for the years ahead. Each release will give us another opportunity to revisit the people, places, traditions and little details that make us nostalgic for Christmases gone by.

Stitch the first six. Display them your way. And start your MerryPost collection with Collection No. 1: Christmas Memories.

Please Note: This kit makes the six individual felt stamp designs. Ribbons, dowels, background felt, mounting hardware and other display materials pictured are not included. Display photographs are intended to inspire you to make your finished MerryPost stamps uniquely yours.

Kit Includes: Pre-stamped USA-made felt, DMC floss, 5mm cupped sequins, beads, needle, and full-color instructions.
