Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas crafting! I had much grander plans of weeks and weeks of Christmas craft tutorials but my other plans played out and I have been flat out moving.
So here is a simple hand stamped Christmas Tree that you can use for cards, wrapping paper or gift tags.
All you need is:
- An ink pad
- A rubber eraser
- A knife
- Brown paper or cardboard
Directions:
- On a chopping board, carefully cut the rubber into a triangle shape with a knife making sure to keep the off cuts.
- Next stamp a triangle shape like picture #1, then add another like picture #2 and use one of the ends of the offcuts to add a trunk like picture #3
- Remember when making cards or gift tags, you can find cardboard everywhere. Cereal boxes and other packaging work perfectly.
Merry Christmas to everyone in Patchwork land. I hope Santa is kind to you all. xoxoxox Peace, love and chocolate to all!

Love these trees! I've seen stamped wrapping paper before, but this one is adorable! The shape of the trees is kind of the best part - whimsical like a tree in Whoville!
