My husband inherited a stamp collection a while back, which he added to his existing collection. I could not believe how much inspiration was in there! I think I was more excited about it than he was. They are like tiny pieces of artwork!
It's so fun to see all the detail that went into something so small. The tiny little drawings, banners, and type.
This particular grouping is so unique with the fun die cuts & brilliant colors. They have almost an Andy Warhol quality with the same stamps shown in different bright color schemes. These are ones I would love to frame. Who knew stamps could be so exciting!
As I was preparing this post I received an invitation for my college girlfriend's wedding, and what amazing use of vintage stamps! Her fiancé serves in the military, so the stamps had a patriotic theme. I have seen this done quite a few times in Martha Stewart Weddings, but I had yet to receive an actual invitation like this. Gorgeous! Great job Lizzie!

If that’s your girlfriend’s wedding invitation in the bottom two photos, I’m wondering if she actually sent it to you via US mail? Because none of the stamps appear to be cancelled. I also always love the idea of the row of stamps across the top of the envelope a la Martha, but since the cancellation ink has to hit a significant portion of every stamp used, using half a dozen stamps in a row means a minimum of three cancellation stamps. Which doesn’t look quite as pretty.
Yes that is her invite envelope at the bottom. They are stamped its just kind of faint so maybe you can’t tell that well. I see what you mean, but those stamps look so vintage that i feel the cancellation stamps add to that vintage feel…just a thought.
Do you display any of these at home! They are so great! I used to collect stamps (NERD!) I should go up to my closet and pull them out!
How fun!! I actually just ran into an artist last night who finds interesting stamps and turns them into greeting cards or mini-works of art. I agree- so much inspiration and love that goes into such a small print!!
No i don’t have any of the stamps on display at my house, but I feel like they should be displayed! They are so fun!
