If you are talking about cutting out the postcard stamp area, and sticking them on an envelope or a package, I think it is the same in theory as cutting stamps that were stuck to a letter, unused, and glue them to another letter to use.

They can be used to stamp anything, such as letters. Stamps are like money and they have to add up to the current postage, that is all.

The easiest way is to get what is called 'kiloware' large packets of stamps on paper available through many stamp dealers. Most companies will sell these packets at a reasonable price. You can also use the Internet, and find people in others countries that can echange stamps from other places for your USA stamps. Some friends at school have relative in others places and you can ask them for old envelopes with stamps ( tell them not to cut the perforations, is better the whole envelope).
