I came across some of my dads stamps the other day.
One of my nicest memories is seeing him over the
kitchen sink soaking the paper off the back of the
stamps he had collected.
He would then place them carefully onto a teatowel to dry.
I don't really know what he planned to do with them all.
These stamps meant so much to him that I thought it was
such a shame to have them sitting in a cupboard
never to be seen by anyone.
I've had such a lovely time using Mod Podge to stick them all to canvasses .
Now I will have them on the wall at home
and I will smile everytime I see them .

They look fantastic! I bought so many odd stamps off eBay a long time ago for another craft project but never used them.... Wish I had done this! :)
What a clever idea! I used to collect stamps as a child, this is a much better way to show off a collection than a stamp album (thought probably not as good for the value of them!)
Great way to display them & enjoy memories of your dad each time you see them
Very nice. I love the way the canvas texture is showing through as well. Thanks for sharing.
These look so amazing Clare - so clever:)
What a beautiful memory and idea Clare :)

p.s I didnt mean to appear anonymous..sorry about that!
What a wonderful idea, Clare. So many lovely memories to recall. Stamps are miniature works of art. I always save them but apart from decoupaging a letter holder years ago haven't done anything with mine - now I will! Thanks.
What an awesome idea! Looks fabulous and colourful :-)
What a fantastic way to keep a memory of your dad.
I may just have to pinch your idea
they look great Clare!!
They do look great on the canvas and it will give you happy memories BUT as a stamp collector I just hope they were all doubles... There are some fabulous stamps there. I have just handed my whaole collection on to my GD.
I love this idea, personal and decorative. I have a few canvases laying around, and mod podge (that I haven't even had a sip out of!), I really should try and think a bit more laterally about what to do with them.
I like it. I used to collect stamps, and we have a heap in a box in the garage. I can understand why a collector would be bothered by it though. I remember really struggling to get the full set of the Christmas 1971 set (in your last pic, far right, fourth from bottom).
I recognise a lot of those stamps and remember steaming them off the envelopes. I still have my Australian ones somewhere - sold my international collection on eBay. I too hope there weren't any rare ones, you'd upset the collectors with that glue! Looks good though.
SUPER! Good idea!
Clare they look awesome! Such a great idea. I've never used Mod Podge but I think I will have to buy some and give it a go!
Wow, great job on these they look wonderful! and great memories too :)
Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Such a wonderful idea!
What a great way to remember your Dad and just in time for Father's Day!
What a clever idea! Now I know what to do with the stamps in my old stamp album my grandma gave me! Thanks for sharing :)
absolutely delightful clare thanks for sharing.
Great idea! They look fantastic and I love that they will remind you of your Dad x
what a great idea for usin those stamps and remembering your dad as well. Lovely.
Love them Clare. I too can remember my Dad doing the same thing. My sister ended up with his album. For some reason she ends up with all the family heirlooms. Whatever...what can you do???
