An artistamp (a portmanteau of the words "artist" and "stamp") or artist's stamp refers to a postage stamp-like artform. It is similar to a Cinderella stamp in that it is not valid for postage, but it differs from a forgery or a bogus stamp in that (typically) the creator has no intent to fool any post office or collector of stamps. (However, depending on how the stamp is used, it may be difficult to distinguish artistamps from local post stamps.) The artistamp is intended to be a miniature artwork which can depict or commemorate any subject its creator chooses.

Made a 6" x 9" stamp, using a paper punch as a perforator. Now to find an envelope to paste it onto.

I have in the past created mini sheets of 6 or 12 stamps from two sissix craft die cutters- but as good as these two dies are, the size is limiting. After some trial and error for creating an edging that’s like perforated edges I have got myself a perforating punch - it’s a small punch that I can only do narrow strips of stamps or with a bit of folding manipulation I can possibly punch an A5 sheet of maybe 4 larger stamps.

but this manipulation is quite tricky and very time consuming to even just work one peice of paper - plus with the folding makes me concerned about blunting the perforating blades.

I’d like to be able to take part in the swapping of the limited edition sheets of stamps

you all create, but is it acceptable for me to only be able to create my first limited editions as small half sheets or long strip sheets of stamps against your A4 sized sets?

The only other way I can do my own A4 limiters is to not perforate them myself and to just mark the devisions

just starting out, with a collaboration with a friend's art - I am having fun with a rosback perforator co-worker of mine -- would love to learn by trading, if anyone is interested message me with an address and I'll send a sheet
