The Adventures of the Little Postal Train is a new form of postcards with the most delightful combination of paper and digital design.

There are 25 cut-out parts in the box which offer an infinite number of possible combinations. Among these are some special ones which come alive with the help of a smartphone or a tablet.

Personalised cards!

In addition to The Adventures of the Little Postal Train, it is possible to order your own personalised cards for special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, birth announcements etc.

This personalised version will happen in 3 steps:

At this stage, you can ask for a modification if something bothers you.

Here is an example of a personalised card created for Lilia and Diego. They will be getting married very soon and would like 100 cards to thank their guests at the end of their wedding party. These cards will be put on the dinner tables.

How did The Adventures of the Little Postal Train start?

Each year, I make season's greetings postcards for my family and close friends.

For my card this year, I cut out all kinds of forms in fluorescent paper and made a hundred landscapes sending them to my entourage all over the world.

From this, I wanted to share these greeting cards to a larger public in adding little animated surprises!
