Finally I can reveal it! After months of keeping my mouth shut, I can now shout it from the rooftops: I was allowed to design the December stamps 2024 for PostNL! What an incredibly cool assignment this was. On November 4, three stamps were quietly visible in the PostNL webshop as a sneak preview. From that moment on, you could already reserve the December stamp sheets online. From November 18, the December stamps will be available in stores everywhere in the Netherlands.
This is what PostNL says about the December stamps…
'Fresh, sleek, clear, warm and with a touch of humor. The illustrations by Marieke Ruts, also known as Mevrouw Emmer, are instantly recognizable. For the December stamps, she came up with 10 scenes, each drawing featuring a robin, the bird that always inspires hope.'
And as stubborn as dachshund Frits is, the four-legged friend has of course turned his butt in between and managed to conquer a place in the designs. Each stamp stands alone, but together they form 1 fresh and cheerful Christmas story.
