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.
Filled With Cheer
Filled With Cheer Tags
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.

The row of lights were then stamped, twice onto each label using the same black ink and they were then coloured using the Azure Afternoon, Shy Shamrock and Poppy Parade Blends Pens

5 tags were then die cut, 2 in Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade and 1 in Shy Shamrock. These were adhered to the back of each tag, slightly offset.

A ribbon will be added when I know what I am attaching it too.
Sparkling Snowflakes
Sparkling Snowflakes Tags
I die cut 4 tags from scrap Basic White card using the Merriest Trees Dies. The sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set was stamped onto each label using Memento Tuxedo Black ink – Winter Greetings is such a great sentiment for a Midwinter celebration.
