Gift Tag Project Using Mama Makes Stamps

Hi all,

This week has gone by so quick, I hope you have been enjoying gift tag week, if you've missed any makes be sure to head over to my channels (links below) and check out the pics. I hope they will give you some inspiration. So now it's time for the last one, and I thought I'd put a little tutorial on the blog, as it's one of my favourite designs.

What I Used:
  • White card.
  • Hole punch
  • Ribbon
  • Black ink pad.
  • Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud Blending Ink in Clear Day.
  • Pearl accents tube.
  • Coppoloppolaro Christmas stamps from Mama Makes.
  • LotixChrly – Sending Hugs stamps from Mama Makes.
  • Sleigh stamp from issue 114 of Papercrafter Magazine.
How It's Made:


  • Cut a circle around 10.5cm wide to make the base of your gift tag.
  • Punch or cut a small circle around 2.5 cm wide and fix gently with some blue tac in the top right hand corner of the tag.
  • Using a blending sponge cover the rest of the tag with blending ink and leave to dry. You can remove the small circle when the ink is dry and will be left with a white space.
  • Stamp the sleigh stamp across the tag, with the end slightly overlapping your white circle, so it looks as though Santa is flying across the night sky.
  • Stamp the 'Thinking Of You' sentiment from the Sending Hugs collection above Santa's sleigh.
  • Finish off by stamping and colouring a robin and tree stamp from the Christmas collection.
  • Cut out the tree and robin images and fix at the bottom of the gift tag.
  • To finish add some pearl accent drops around your white circle.
Hope you all enjoyed my gift tag series, and if you have a go at any of the ideas yourself do let me know. The great thing about all these ideas is you can adapt them to suit what you have in your stash. You could use pencils or watercolour ink, instead of Colour Cloud, use a different stamp or sentiment, and you could make a whole series and hang them as bunting. Check out my other ideas at: Thanks for reading, and I'll be back soon with some new blogs - freelance life and Disney related, so stay tuned.

*Mama Makes stamps were gifted to me to craft with as a design team member. All other items were from my own stash.

Hobbycraft Lino Printing Online Workshop Review

 One of the things that has been great to see now we have come through the worst of the Covid pandemic, has been companies continuing with the online activities they launched during the lockdowns. Hobbycraft now offer a wide range of workshops online and in-store through the year, and I recently took part in an online lino printing workshop, so I thought I'd blog a bit more about what's on offer and the workshop I took part in. What workshops are on offer?  These vary through the year, and can involve seasonal, adults, and kid's workshops in-store and online. If you click on the workshops you are interested in finding out more about, you can find out about what's included in the price, what you'll learn, and the available workshop dates, there's also the opportunity to request private events for groups. While I'm writing this, there are workshops on Cricut, watercolour painting, knitting, paint pouring, seasonal wreath making, using clay, sewing, and a new

The Christmas Holiday By Phillipa Ashley Book Review

I apologise now for any or all mentions of the word Christmas in this blog post, but with a lot going on in life and work I just have to go with whatever calls to me in my reading pile, which this time was The Christmas Holiday by Phillipa Ashley.  Released last year, this book will always have a special place in my bookish heart because I helped with some crafting inspiration for it, and to see my name in the credits of this paperback is something I will always treasure. I was so excited to see how and where my ideas were used, but managed to control my impatience and not skip any pages. Although I have been a member of Phillipa's Facebook group for a while, this is my first read of hers  (have another in my reading pile) so I opened this book with a mix of anticipation and a slight fear of the unknown - I really wanted to love the book I helped with! And love it I did. It made a refreshing change to read a novel set in the Lake District, and also one which wasn't just a stere

Hocus Pocus 2 Film Review

Halloween is one of my favourite times of year for films, and I've loved all the witch and wizard magical, spooky-themed films since I was young. I was really looking forward to seeing Hocus Pocus 2, but I had no idea what to expect from the sequel. Would they pick up where they left off in 1993, move on a bit but with a strong connection to the original, or do something completely different? This Disney + release turned out to be the latter, and I found myself watching a modern-day Salem on screen. The old town is now a 'historic district' which has the air of a novel tourist attraction, complete with a mystical magic shop which presents the story of Salem and the Sanderson Sisters as some kind of commercial entertainment enterprise - hear the story, buy some magical merch.  The detail in Gilbert's shop and his stage show presentation are very apt for the modern day, and the feeling that the Sanderson sister's legend has become less powerful and more humorous myth
