Quick answer
Use the 25 ready-to-mail cards for quick notes and the 25 color-in cards for a personalized touch. Sort the box first, then write, color, address, and display or send.
Why the two-card split matters
The set divides cleanly into 25 ready-to-mail postcards and 25 postcards you color yourself. That split is the most useful feature: you can send a card immediately without hunting for art supplies, or slow down and make a color-in card feel more personal. Treat the two stacks separately so you do not accidentally mail a card you meant to color.
When a postcard is the wrong format
Postcards are open mail. Anyone who handles the card can read the message, and there is no envelope to protect small enclosures. For private notes, keep the card for hand delivery or tuck it into a larger package. For international pen pals, check your postal service's postcard rate and size rules before writing, because postcard pricing and dimensions vary by destination.
How to sort, send, and display your Pusheen postcards
- Sort the box into two stacks: Open the box and separate the 25 ready-to-mail postcards from the 25 color-in postcards. Keep the color-in stack with your pens or markers so it does not get mixed back in. Check the count once: 25 ready-to-mail plus 25 color-in equals 50.
- Choose the right card for the recipient: Use a ready-to-mail card for a quick thank-you or hello. Reserve a color-in card for a pen pal or close friend who will notice the extra effort, and color it in their favorite palette. Do not color a card before you know who it is for; color choices are hard to undo.
- Write the message before addressing: Fill the message side first, leaving space for the address block. Keep the message short enough that the address stays clear and legible. Check that no writing crosses into the address area.
- Address and stamp correctly: Write the full address in the center-right of the card and place the stamp in the top-right corner. Confirm the postcard rate with your postal service before mailing, especially for international pen pals. Weigh or measure a filled card if your postal service treats oversized postcards differently.
- Display the keepers: Stand favorite cards on a desk, pin them to a corkboard, or clip them to a string with mini clothespins. Rotate the display when you color a new card so the arrangement stays fresh. Keep displayed cards out of direct sun to slow fading.
- Store the rest flat: Return unused cards to the box and keep it in a dry drawer. Avoid bending the corners, which can jam postal sorting machines. A flat, dry box keeps the set giftable for later.
