Lets talk about Stamps!

Its been a rainy few days here in Christchurch which I think means a great excuse to craft up a storm. There is nothing better than creating something pretty while the fire is roaring and my tummy (and maybe heart a little too) are being warmed by the tea from one of my vintage tea cups.

For me crafting is such a good creative outlet and part of why I love it is because anyone can do it!!! One of the tools that can help make crafting fun and doable for anyone are stamps! Stamps are such an easy and effective way to amp up any craft project so tonight I thought I would share a few of my favourite stamp crafty secrets.

I love thinking about creative, cost effective, pretty ways to wrap pressies and I think I have come across a winner.
 All you need is:
- brown wrapping paper (which is available from most post shops and is cheap as!)
-Alphabet stamps
-  Coloured bakers twine or ribbon

Wrap the gift in the brown paper, stamp the name of the lucky recipient on the parcel and then wrap the bakers twine or ribbon  in a bow ... so simple right?


By nature I am not the most tidy person (The other vintage girls will testify to this!) So any way to make cute labels that don't involve my childlike scrawl is a bonus for me.These new stamps we have make cards and labels super cute and if you are handwriting challenged like me possible :).

I think stamps make any craft that much more special.

If you are like me and are also a little stamp crazy I would LOVE to hear some of the fab things you do with our stamps so leave a comment :)
