Why, as creative types, are we always drawn to so many things French and all things postal? Likely because both are known for dynamic graphic design. So, enjoy this collection of vintage French stamp cancellation marks that I put together for collage, graphic design, blogging images and all other garden variety crafting projects! (Not sure what those French graphics read? Click HERE to translate.)
To access the free PDF vector file, click the above image. And remember, I always love seeing what you create with the images I share!
Feel free to use these graphics in every and any way you can think of, with the only exception of selling the images as clip-art, digital downloads or reproducible art, such as rubber stamps for sale. Thank you.
OMG. these are fabulous Cathe! thank you soooo much!!
Hope your weekend is fabulous!

A reader mentioned they had a message from Google when attempting to download the PDF that the image had exceeded it's bandwidth, or something of that nature. Occasionally you may get that message when trying to access a JSIM image. From what I've researched, that pretty much the same as a busy signal. Too much downloading is going on at once from other users. So please try it again a few moments later. If you are ever still having trouble, be sure to let me know via email so I can send the image directly to you.
Thanks for these. It is sad that the modern postal system seems to have lost some of its romance and mystique. I rarely ever get interesting stamps anymore and I live in Germany! Hurrah for those countries that still put some effort into little things like postal and immigration stamps!
Thanks so much! You always have the most fabulous graphics and oodles of fun stuff here….a fantastic place to stop in! :>
Your blog is lovely and soo inspirational! Thanks for sharing!
Happy day,
Rosa

Thank you so much for sharing these

hi cathe, if you keep stats, you may wonder what that lunatic is doing spending hours and hours on your blog but it's that good!! I have had so much fun, while being sick, laying here and accepting your lovely generosity in the offering of so many wonderful little things for blogs and labels for my soap tags and bottles and just about everything else I can think of–you could probably think of more with your imagination…I wanted to say thank you, you are wonderful for being so generous with your enormous talent.

Hi Cathe! Thanks for these! Love them and the Erma Bombeck quote! Found you through Amy Locurto’s blog and I will be checking your stuff out all the time now too!
Also wanted to say that we just got back from a trip to Cali! We were in Gualala for a bit, San Fran and then down south to LA and San Diego. BUT… we drove through Petaluma and I fell in love with it! SOOOO jealous! I could be REALLY creative in that place! HA! Any chance you have a room over your garage for a family of 4!? HA! Enjoy and thanks again for sharing!

Hi Cathe, I just wanted to ask about your free images. I make cards and sometimes sell the cards. I just wanted to be sure that it is o.k to use those images on cards I make and sell? I sure don’t want violate anything

I’ve seen these several times in the past, and always thought I’d love to do something with them… well I finally did!! I used them in a digital collage with an old handwritten letter and rose graphic… to make pretty stationary. I love the result ~ thank you so much for sharing such beautiful free graphics!! If you’d like to see… here’s the link:

I am a French teacher so I used some of these beautiful marks to make the cover of my “master binder” which you can see below. Thank you so much!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Cathe,
This is my first vist to your Pincrest page. I love it. I do love all things postal, but I have never been to France. I like what you have put together. Do you have one for places in the United States, especially with Christmas right around the corner.
Thanks.
I just became the owner of 2 cable spools. I’m so excited to do something beautiful with them. I started thinking one of these cancellations would be perfect to decoupage to the top of one of them. I’m a little worried about enlarging them. Would you have any suggestions on how to enlarge them? I have this great print shop nearby that can print items from a file up to 48 inches or so, I’m just not sure these can get that big and keep the quality.
Thanks for sharing such beautiful things!
Lovely, thanks so very much. I have you bookmarked but saw these on Pinterest.
These are fabulous! Thank you for sharing. Can’t get enough!
