Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.

Hi Dorincard!
Sorry but I think that making maximum cards is difficult because these stamps are from 1980s. However making own/ personalised maximum cards may be an option but I have never made one. Can you guide me how I can make my own maximum cards?? I would also like to get some personalized stamps made? How can I do that? Can you please explain in a little detail.
Waiting anxiously for your kind reply
Best Regards
Yours Cheema
Hey, Cheema!
1) If a stamp is still valid for postage in Pakistan now, and it's AT LEAST the value for domestic (within Pakistan) postcard rate, then your Post Office clerk should agree to postmark it on the picture side, so you can create a maximum card.
2) If a stamp is still valid for postage in Pakistan now, and it's LESS THAN the value for domestic (within Pakistan) postcard rate, then maybe you can convince your clerk to postmark it on the picture side, and also postmark the other stamp(s) on the address side.
3) If a stamp in NOT VALID ANYMORE for postage, then the traditional school of maximaphily prohibits its use ("Oh, my God!" :D ).
But my non-traditional, alternative collector profile says I could still like it, if possible.
Maybe you can convince your clerk to postmark the stamp(s) for domestic postcard rate on the address side, and also postmark, as a bonus :D, the non-valid stamp on the picture side. Consider it a decoration, since it's expired.
4) Another option, very non-traditional, is to stick a valid stamp next to the non-valid, on the picture side, so they can be postmarked together. Then you can have additional stamp(s) postmarked on the address side, if you need to make up the postcard rate.
5) I have used other, very creative techniques, "tips and tricks", involving the use of removable peelable address labels, and then moving them to the backside. That way, I remained with only the wanted stamped, postmarked, on the picture side.
I'll discuss later other advanced methods that I found or created.
-----------------
For personalized stamps (also postcards and more), click any of my zazzle links in this blog.
See examples of my stamps, then read info about personalized stamps (customized postage) on zazzle's home page.
If zazzle does not ship directly to Pakistan, then you need somebody in a country from their list.
However, anybody, from anywhere, can design and post stamp designs in their Public Gallery.
IT'S FREE!!!
You (or I) can design any subject, if it's approved.
Hi Dorincard!
Sorry for a delayed reply.
In fact I just came to know about your response after you left a comment on my blog.
Thanks for writing in so much detail. I will definitely do all I can to find a maximum card for you.
I will also try zazzle.com ans in case of any problem I will contact you.
Best Regards
Yours Cheema
