Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘small gifts and/or Tags. My son will be leaving in December to spend 14 – 15 months working in the Antarctic on one of the British bases. We therefore have to buy and wrap presents for Christmas 2024, Birthday March 2025, Midwinter June 2025, Christmas 2026 and possibly birthday March 2026………..eek. All presents have to be small, sturdy, unbreakable which narrows down the choice, they will all be packed into a box, delivered to British Antarctic Survey by mid August for transporation to the Antarctic base by ship. I have started to make loads of simple tags so that he knows what to open and when and am sharing some of these today.
I die cut 5 tags from scrap Basic White card using the Merriest Trees Dies. The sentiment from the Filled With Cheer stamp set was stamped onto each label using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

It is Christmas Stampathon time again and the theme for February is cards and matching tags and as per the rules of the Stampathon we have to make multiples. I have used the gorgeous new stamp set called Encircled in Nature, available in my online shop.

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” Shaded Spruce card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” Balmy Blue card – 3” by ½” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside Scrap Shaded Spruce card
I stamped the wreath image, from the Encircled in Nature stamp set in Pecan Pie ink onto the 5¼” by 3½” panel of basic white card.

The arc of pine trees were stamped in Shaded Spruce ink inside the stamped ring.
A piece of the gorgeous Copper Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The decorated panel was then glued to the Shaded Spruce layer and then to the Balmy Blue card base.

Today, I am sharing the hanging ornament and trio of tags I designed for my December classes. I used the Stars At Night stamp set and dies to make the projects.
Gold Hoop – mine was about 4” 2 Circles of card stock or dsp which fit inside the gold hoop – I used the Shining Brightly dsp Scrap Basic White card Gold Ribbon
The ribbon was wrapped from the top to the bottom of the hoop, wrapped around and brought up to the top where it was wrapped around again and then tied in a double knot. The ends of the ribbon were then knotted to form a loop to hang the hoop.-
www.crafty-rootes.com – A hanging ornament made using the Stars At Night stamp set and Dies and the Shining Brightly dsp for December classes
We slipped one die cut circle – I used the Stylish Circle dies to cut these from the Shining Brightly stamp set – behind the hoop and under the ribbon. The second circle was glued on top, sandwiching the ribbon in the middle.
We used the Stamparatus – any stamp positioner would work – to stamp 3 large stars which I had die cut using the Stars at Night Dies.
The stamped stars were then folded in half from top to bottom. We used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the stars down the centre line to make the folding easier.
The 3 stars were then glued together, one in the middle and one half of the other 2 glued on either side of the middle star. The back of the multiple star piece was then glued to the middle of the dsp inside the hoop.
Star at Night Tags
3 Starry Sky tags – cut using the Merriest Trees Dies 3 Basic White tags – cut using the Merriest Trees Dies Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil to die cut stars
Using a Blending Brush we added Starry Sky ink around the edges of 2 of the Starry Sky tags. The third tag was inked around the edges using another Blending Brush and Whisper White craft ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com – A trio of tags made using the Stars At Night stamp set and Dies and the Sending Cheer stamp set for December classes
When the first 2 tags were dry we added Whisper White ink to the centre of both tags.
When the tags were dry We stamped the rays of light image in the centre of 1 of the tags and a scattering of snowflakes around the edges of the other 2.

We used Simply Elegant Trim to make the ties for the tags.

Welcome to the December Hopping Around the World blog hop where our theme is ‘our favourite stamp set’. Oh my goodness this was a hard challenge, so many gorgeous stamp sets and bundles to choose from………..……. I eventually settled on the beautiful Free As A Bird stamp set and made a Christmas card for my Mum who loves robin redbreasts.
I hope you loved Jennifer Downey’s project as much as I did – if you haven’t seen it click on her name to go backwards.
To recreate the Robin Redbrest – Free As A Bird Christmas Card card you will need:
Thick Whisper White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” Mossy Meadow – 2¾” by 2¾” Whisper White – 2½” by 2½” Scrap Whisper White and Poppy Parade
I stamped the group of birds on an bough across the Thick Whisper White card front in Soft Sea Foam ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Robin Redbrest Christmas card made using the Free As A Bird stamp set
I stamped the single bird onto the square of Whisper White in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added a sray of leaves above before die cutting the bird out using the Layering Circle dies. I also cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the square of Mossy Meadow. I adhered the 2 circles together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the spray of leaves again on scrap Whisper White and fussy cut the leaves with my sharp scissors.
Using the following Blends Markers I coloured in the the bird and leaves – Mossy Meadow combo, Crumb Cake combo and Calyso Coral combo. I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto the card front and added the circle piece to the card front on Dimensionals.
I die cut a flower from scrap Poppy Parade cardstock using the Bouquet Bunch dies and added the trimmed out leaves and the flower to the circle using Mini Glue Dots. A single Gold Metallic Pearl was added to the card front to finish the card.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Robin Redbrest Christmas card made using the Free As A Bird stamp set
I really loved the card, so much so that I went ahead and made a second landscape version using a Soft Sea Foam card base and a 2” by 4” panel of Whisper White. The bird and leaves were stamped on the Whisper White panel and coloured in the same way and I used the Banner Triple Punch to flag the end.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Robin Redbrest Christmas tags made using the Free As A Bird stamp set
I also made a couple of tags to go with the cards using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, I just need to find some ribbon to complete them.
I hope you like these projects as much as I do. Please hop on to see what the lovely Sandra Herzog has to share with us.
