Winter Whimsy 2024 (2 Booklets, 20 Stamps) First-Class Mail Forever Postage Stamps

Delight in the magic of winter snow and hand-cut "snowflakes" with the Winter Whimsy stamps from the U.S. Postal Service. Featuring snowflakes in a digitally rendered design, the stamps evoke a beloved hand-cut paper craft with their perfect, delicate symmetry. The Winter Whimsy stamps are being issued in booklets of 20 Forever stamps. These Forever stamps will always be equal to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price. There's magic in the air - with four stamps evoking winter flurries. Each stamp in the block of four includes a unique design in white, each contrasted against a solid color background: navy blue, teal, tan, or dark blue-green.

Each fancy figure is surrounded by small white dots in digitally rendered artwork that is simple and bold, yet fancy.

The designs evoke not only snowflakes but also a popular seasonal craft - the fun activity of cutting folded paper with scissors, then opening it up to reveal a delicate, symmetrical design. Paper "snowflakes" are often four- or eight-sided - it is easier for young hands to fold paper into quarters or eighths than into sixths. Nature, on the other hand, serves up shimmering six-sided flakes or triangular crystals of ice.

The stamps' lacy designs may call to mind memories of the fun schoolroom craft. They may also conjure brisk outdoor adventures and winter’s natural beauty.
