Many couples love to create their own wedding favors to give their celebration of love a DIY touch, and with Simply Stamps' new line of wedding-themed craft stamps they don't have to take forever to make! This simple tutorial shows you how to personalize favor bags so you can fill them with whatever treat your heart desires.<p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/wedding-favor-with-sunflower.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_688]" target="_blank"><img class="wp-image-2438 alignleft" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/wedding-favor-with-sunflower.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:321px;"></a></p><p><a title="" href="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/A/R/ARM-photo-207x300.png" rel="lightbox[mpblog_688]" target="_blank"><img class="wp-image-6669" src="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/A/R/ARM-photo-207x300.png" alt="" style="max-width:268px;"></a> Photo by: Always Remembered Moments Photography</p><p>The best part about this line of craft stamps is there's one to match any wedding theme! From an <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/nautical_anchor_save_the_date_rubber_stamp-details.aspx">anchor stamp</a> for the nautical wedding theme or a <a href="/vw-bus-save-the-date-stamp">Volkswagen bus</a> for the boho-inspired wedding, there's one for every couple's style. I chose to use the <a href="/custom-names-love-laughter-wedding-craft-stamp">Love &amp; Laughter Wedding Craft Stamp</a> for my project complete with the husband and wife to be's names and wedding date!</p><p>Here are the other supplies I used:</p><ul><li>Linen or Muslin drawstring bags</li><li>Archival Dye Ink – I used Tuxedo Black by Memento</li><li>Treats to fill the bags</li></ul><p><a title="" href="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/U/n/Untitled-design-300x171.png" rel="lightbox[mpblog_688]" target="_blank"><img class=" wp-image-6549" src="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/U/n/Untitled-design-300x171.png" alt="" style="max-width:589px;"></a> Photo by: Susi Vazquez photography</p><p>Once I had all my supplies, personalizing each bag was easy! Here's how I made them:</p><ol><li> I inked the stamp really well to make sure each edge of the stamp was covered. I suggest testing your impressions on a sheet of paper before you begin so you don't waste your bags.</li><li> Next, I laid the bag on a flat surface, ensuring it was wrinkle-free.</li><li> Apply even pressure across the surface of the stamp so you're sure to get the best possible impression.</li><li> When I was done creating each bag, I let them dry, then added my treat of choice (candy, of course!).</li></ol><p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/wedding-favor-rustic.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_688]" target="_blank"><img class="wp-image-2440 alignleft" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/wedding-favor-rustic.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:305px;"></a></p><p><a title="" href="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/L/a/Lauren-e1595856265872-300x212.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_688]" target="_blank"><img class=" wp-image-6883" src="/media/magpleasure/mpblog/upload/L/a/Lauren-e1595856265872-300x212.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:370px;"></a> Photo by: Lauren Schoepfer Photography</p><p>You can switch up the ink colors to match your wedding colors or use a different fabric bag if you choose.

Today I'll be sharing with you a card tutorial that pairs perfectly with a baby shower gift, or could even be used for your announcements. Simply Stamps has a new line of <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/craft-stamps/baby-theme">baby craft stamps</a> that will make creating your homemade cards that much more special. The best part is: you can personalize all of them!

I decided to use the <a href="/custom-name-oh-baby-announcement-craft-stamp">Custom Name Oh Baby! Announcement Craft stamp</a> from Simply Stamps. I started with pink designer paper and card stock. Using the stick die, I framed the designer card stock, then used the smaller matching frame for the arrival card.</p><p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_three.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_687]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_three.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:480px;"></a></p><p>Next, I used my MISTI to perfectly stamp the personalized sentiment onto the pink cardstock.</p><p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_one.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_687]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2415" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_one.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:640px;"></a></p><p>I also added a baby onesie sticker, a pink ribbon and button with some twine to add a few embellishments.

There are TONS of ways you can get creative and add your own festive flair to your gift wrapping. You can use any one of these ideas for every gift, mix and match for a fun combination of any two or choose all five tips to really make your gifts dazzle! Whatever you choose, <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/">Simply Stamps</a> is here to help you add a little extra love to all of your gifts in affordable and simple ways.<p><a title="foliage" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/foliage.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_641]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1656" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/foliage.jpg" alt="foliage" style="max-width:500px;"></a></p><h2> Tip #1: Add a little Foliage</h2><p>Choose pine cones, fall leaves or the trimmings from your Christmas tree! Whatever you pick, it’ll add a sweet flare to your gift that everyone will enjoy! The best part – most of us can find these items in our yards or in the living room. All you’ll need is a simple ribbon to tie around the gift. Find the best way to securely tie the piece of foliage down then wrap your ribbon around the gift, using it to hold the piece in place (for larger pieces you may want to use a small dot of clear glue).</p><p><a title="holiday_253c" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/holiday_253C-1.png" rel="lightbox[mpblog_641]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1663" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/holiday_253C-1.png" alt="holiday_253c" style="max-width:400px;"></a></p><h2>Tip #2: Tag your Gifts with a Craft Stamp</h2><p>For this little trick, all you’ll need is ribbon, card stock and a festive, craft stamp! Simply Stamps has all kinds of <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/craft-stamps/holiday-crafting">craft stamps perfect for the holidays</a>. Once you’ve picked out your favorite stamp, just cut out the card stock in whichever shape you’d like (it doesn’t have to be perfect!), cut a small hole in each and finally, stamp each tag. Use ribbon to tie each tag onto your gifts. Bonus tip: this idea goes perfectly with tip #1!</p><p><a title="img_3230" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/IMG_3230-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_641]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1658" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/IMG_3230-1.jpg" alt="img_3230" style="max-width:350px;"></a></p><h2>Tip #3: Add an Ornament</h2><p>In the same way you can add a piece of foliage to your gifts, you can also add an ornament! But ornaments are even easier since they’re designed with the perfect circular piece to be attached to presents. You can use a hand-me-down ornament from the years before or purchase an ornament from <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/craft-stamps/holiday-crafting">Simply Stamps' holiday page</a> (fully customize them with names and/or photos)!</p><p><a title="4930291587_9922731bee_b" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/4930291587_9922731bee_b.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_641]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1664" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/4930291587_9922731bee_b.jpg" alt="4930291587_9922731bee_b" style="max-width:450px;"></a></p><h2>Tip #4: Glitter Tape!</h2><p>This tip is super easy, inexpensive and perfect to add a fun touch to any gift. First, you’ll need clear, double-stick tape and your favorite glitter! After wrapping your gift, press one side of the tape into the glitter and continue rolling out the tape until you have a long enough piece.  Wrap the tape around the gift, pressing firmly to make sure it sticks and you’re finished. Easy and beautiful!</p><p><a title="img_3257" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/IMG_3257.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_641]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1659" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2016/11/IMG_3257.jpg" alt="img_3257" style="max-width:350px;"></a></p><h2>Tip #5: Stamped Gift Wrap</h2><p>Design any envelope or wrapping paper to your liking with a <a href="/craft-stamps">craft stamp</a>! There are plenty of festive stamps to choose from that will add an elegant but “home-made” touch to your holiday gifts. Cover the paper in a fun design or stamp it once for simplicity – either way it’s a unique way to decorate your gifts. Bonus tip: this idea goes perfectly with tip #4!</p><p>We hope these holiday gift wrapping hacks inspired you to add a little love to each gift this year. Happy wrapping!
