A Personal Mark on Christmas
Christmas is a season of joy, love, and giving. At Christmas, people around the world enjoy all kinds of different celebrations from Krampus running through the Christmas markets in Germany and Austria to visiting Santa in Lapland, it really is a fun time for all. Many of the festive traditions we have in the UK today came about in the Victorian era, such as Christmas cards, gift-giving even crackers. It’s a time when we express our feelings and creativity through decorations, gifts, and personal touches all in a bid to make that special someone, feel special.
In the blog we discover how you can make your personal mark on Christmas with, you guessed it, rubber stamps. Rubber stamps can transform ordinary cards, gift wrap, and decorations into personalised wonders that not only look the part, they also make your gift stand out in a sea of glittery wrapping paper and Christmas baubles.
Personalised Christmas Cards
Let’s start with the most common Christmas craft item, Christmas cards. It is estimated that 900 million cards are sent in the UK each year, with each person sending around 16 cards. With rubber stamps and crafting products, you can further this tradition by creating personalised cards that stand out. Stamps4u craft section is host to a range of different coloured inks, card in a variety of different paper weights and colours as well as die cutting plates that can be used with die cutting machines to make intricate designs. Embossing powders can be use to deboss tiny details on your cards. The products mentioned above cover the front of your card but what about the inside?
Our customised stamps can be used to save you writing the same message over and over again on each card. This can be your Christmas message with a Christmas image or even your signature. Our signature stamps are popular amongst parents as it saves their child writing out 30 plus cards for each person in their class. No mean feat if you are parent trying to get your child to stay engaged enough to write their name 30 times.
Custom Gift Wrap and Tags
Did you know that the UK uses 227,000 miles of wrapping paper each year and a large proportion of wrapping paper cannot be recycled. This is due to the plastic content i.e. glitter and laminates contained in the papers. Designed with the environment in mind, Stamps4u launched a range of Christmas tag and wrapping paper stamps to be stamped on paper that can be recycled.
Why settle for generic gift wrap when you can create your own? Custom gift wrap and tags add an extra layer of thoughtfulness to your presents.
Handcrafted Decorations
Rubber stamps can also be used to make festive decorations that add a personal touch to your home. Similar to card making, stamps can be used in layers, building up the colour and image to reveal one large image, or if you have children at home stamping an outline of a Santa or his elves and getting your children to colour it in can be another activity that can be done to get them in the festive spirit.
You could even try your hand at stamping on fabrics like felt, if you decide you want to make felt baubles for your Christmas tree. Our range of Monogram stamps have different templates you could use or if you have your own artwork, simply upload it.
Santa Letters
Everyone remembers the magic of Christmas when you wrote your list to Santa informing him that you had been a good boy or girl and asking for him to visit your house and when he wrote back it ‘stamped’ the truth that Santa was indeed real. That’s why Stamps4u created a range of North Pole Stampers to make sure those letters make their way to each child and the man himself.
As Gifts
Customised stamps and embossers can actually be a lovely gift for someone who is obsessed with stationery or someone who has their own business and looking to add a personal touch to their bags or boxes. A customised stamp creates a personal mark, a mark that when given as a gift shows thoughtfulness with a hint of creativity.
Rubber stamping is a wonderful way to make Christmas uniquely yours. Whether you’re creating personalised cards, custom gift wrap, handcrafted decorations, or letters to Santa, the possibilities are endless. This festive season, let your creativity shine and make your personal mark on Christmas with rubber stamps.
