Christmas With The English Stamp Company
I remember when I first stumbled upon the English Stamp Company on Instagram around 4 years ago.
It was their beautifully calm images, the classic colour palette and detail in their stamps that really caught my eye.
I ordered a few for a small party we were having, and upon using them, I was hooked.
English Stamp Company are a small UK based independent business based in tranquil Dorset.
They’ve been ethically manufacturing high quality rubber stamps from their countryside factory since 1992.
With an emphasis on design and personalisation, they make stamps for branding, weddings, interiors, wrapping and clothing. Though I found that my very favourite way to use their stamps is to make my own cards and gift wrap.
Making Gift Wrap
About a year ago, I learned that most gift wrap isn’t recyclable. I thought about the masses we add to our recycling tray after every birthday party or Christmas without thinking, and decided to make change, and I’m so happy that I did.
Making your own gift wrap doesn’t need to take up lots of time. It’s actually very easy, and cost effective too. It’s something my boys love to get involved with, but also a calm and mindful activity I like to do on my own.
I’ve shared our creations on Instagram a few times now. I cant tell you how lovely it is to be tagged in others beautiful English Stamp wrapping posts too.So I’m very excited to share something with you that we’ve been working on together for a charity very close to all of our hearts.
Hunters & Heels x The English Stamp Company, in support of Women’s Aid.
We thought that this Christmas was a perfect time to do something special together, in support of the essential charity, Women’s Aid.
I’m excited to share that we are launching a limited quantity of exclusive sets that contain the stamps and ink you need to create the looks shown here. Each set contains 6 stamps, two of which are exclusive to the sets. As well as 3 ink pads. One large black and two smaller coloured inks. Both sets come beautifully boxed so make perfect gifts too.
The sets are £48, which is a 10% saving for you, but the most important thing is that £10 from the sale of each set will be donated to Women’s Aid.
Women’s Aid is a lifesaving federation of frontline domestic abuse services, supporting women and children at the most challenging times of their lives. By donating to them, we are supporting survivors of domestic abuse.
This collection is designed to feel luxurious. Think brisk boxing day walks with a mulled wine, frosty trees glistening in the winter sun. The acorn is one of my favourite stamps right now, it works beautifully on cards and paper, and signifies hope, new beginnings and prosperity. Just what we all need.
As well as the acorn there are two sprigs that work perfectly together or alone. A scattering of three stars to add the sparkle as well as a “Merry Christmas” and “Thank you” thats are both exclusive to these limited edition sets.
For this set we chose green, gold and black ink.
For me, this set epitomises all the nostalgia of Christmas. From choosing a tree and bundling it onto the roof, to those wooden decorations from your childhood that hold a treasure of happy memories.
The Home For Christmas Collection contains my favourite Landy (also great for presents throughout the year) with a perfectly sized Christmas tree for its roof . A bold classic star which I find so handy for loads of things, not just during the festive season. It also contains the brand new Nut Cracker which they have been working on for years, he is amazing! There is also a ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS' for cards, tags and paper, as well as ‘THANK YOU’ for the new year. Both of these are using my font and are exclusive to these limited edition sets.
For these sets we chose green, red and black ink.
The only other thing you really need to get started is some brown or white parcel paper, luggage labels and some twine. I love holding on to any nice ribbons and things that I find, and I’ve also bought some too.
I hope that you love these sets as much as I do, and that they are a perfect way to kick start your Christmas season. As the sets are all made exclusively by The English Stamp Company, we have a maximum order quantity that is likely all they will be able to manage in the current circumstances, so when these sets are sold out, it is unlikely that we will be able to make any more. Orders are open NOW, and the sets will be shipped the week commencing 16th November.
