I could be lazy and not look it up and ask what are alpha letters?

I figured I cannot be the only one not knowing, so lazy is what I will be. **** I probably will look it up anyway.

Alpha = alphabet letters, like the pre-made kind that come in packages

What does "jazzed-up postcard" mean? Can't find any translation or explenation which I understand. Thanks for the help :)

Jazzed up postcard -- one that you make or a commercially purchased one that you add to or alter with embellishments

@basilikum a good translation for 'jazzed-up' in this case would be aufgemotzt. :D

Thanks, June @devilspigeonhole for coming to the rescue!

The Alpha letters - Walmart usually carries sticker packs of assorted alphabets - white, black, silver, gold, cursive, block, etc.
Though I'm watching this swap for now, I did buy some New Year's US postage stamps - showing firecrackers - even though dated for '2013. My post office still have plenty of these stamps. Wonder what '2014 New Year's Stamp will look like?

The mail you create for this swap is sender's choice and wide-open -- so alpha letters that come pre-made are just one idea -- hand-lettering by the sender is another idea ... "ransom-note" type, using alphabets with different styles and sizes would be another way to go ... could cut out designs for your mail piece, too
