4 Ways to use Stamps to Create DIY Holiday Decor & Gifts

The holiday season means different things to all of us. Maybe your favorite part about the holidays is spending time with your family and exchanging thoughtful gifts. Or it could be decorating your house with garland and colorful lights and sitting next to the fire. No matter what it is that makes this time of the year so special to you, it's a time when we all come together to celebrate. Holidays grant us the opportunity to create holiday spirit, so today we're sharing with you a few ideas to inspire your creativity this holiday season. Whether you're creating holiday decor for your own home or gifts for your loved ones, here are four ways you can use craft stamps to make something fun and festive this holiday season.

DIY Holiday Cards

A homemade holiday card is a great way to show a loved one you care, whether it accompanies a gift or is the gift itself. Something you've made is always more sentimental because it shows thought and effort. Here at Simply Stamps, we have a variety of different craft stamps to choose from. Two of our favorites, the Do You Want to Build a Snowman and Snowman craft stamps are a match made it crafting heaven. Combine the two together to make a holiday card that's festive and also easy to make!

Christmas Decor

If you're creating your own holiday decor, the creative possibilities are endless. From centerpieces to wall decorations, 'tis the season to get crafty! You can use just about any craft stamps in our collection to create a unique picture that can be placed inside of a simple frame. Our Hanging Christmas Ornaments craft stamp plus dark green and maroon markers would make for simple yet elegant wall decor this holiday season.

Easy Handmade Ornaments

Christmas tree ornaments are a gift that may only be used once a year, but they will also be enjoyed for years and years to come. Making your own ornaments make it a gift that's even more special! We love this fun Snowman craft stamp because it stamps perfectly onto paper ornaments and leaves a blank canvas for you to color as you'd like. Add your name and the year you made it so your recipient will think of you each year when they hang it on their tree! Laminate your DIY ornament so it will last for many Christmases to come.

Gift Wrapping

For craft-lovers, the gift wrapping is often just as exciting as the gift itself. We love to package our gifts beautifully so our friends and family can see how much love we put into it! Craft stamps are a great way to add a fun, finishing touch to your gift wrapping. Use a gift tag stamp to address your gifts, or create your own wrapping paper by stamping a fun pattern onto plain paper. The best part about adding craft stamps to your gift wrapping is the opportunity to make it completely your own!

This holiday season, find what inspires you and get crafting! From home decorations to DIY holiday gifts, there's nothing more meaningful than something you've created with your own two hands. Check out our huge selection of craft stamps and see what speaks to you.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
