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.

My stamps are frequently cancelled in the mail. Royal Mail produces so many new designs that hardly anyone ever sees, the staff probably just cancel everything just in case it's real.

I just published an article about making this stamp sheet, and the article includes a PDF download that you can use as a template.

Here is a link to the article - http://www.chasenfratz.com/wp/low-tech-faux-postage/
