Trying to take stamps from the USA off envelopes is a pain
I leave them on the paper these days and just cut around them

On March
24 2012, the U.S. Postal Service marked the 100th anniversary of a gift of 3,000
flowering cherry trees from Japan by issuing two commemorative postage stamps
that together create a panoramic view of the iconic trees in full flower around
Washington’s Tidal Basin.
The cherry
trees were a gift from Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki to President William Howard Taft
in 1912. First lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda, wife of the
Japanese ambassador, planted the first two trees on the north bank of the Tidal
Basin on March 27 of that year.
