This year we're having a London Underground themed Christmas so I decided to my gifts in white paper hand stamped with roundels. Each member of my family has been given a different coloured tube line so I've stamped each gift for them with that colour and then wrapped it in a matching ribbon so that there's no need for gift tags!

Take a regular eraser and draw your design on to it. It's best to keep it quite simple. Carve around the negative space of the design with a carving tool.
Test out your stamp on a scrap piece of paper.
Stamp your sheets of wrapping paper. To get a nice design. I fully inked the stamp before stamping once and then made a few other stamps letting the ink get lighter before re-inking.
Leave to dry for a few hours.
Cut to the size of your gift.
Wrap and seal with tape.
Continue for all your gifts.
Wrap in matching ribbon and pop under the tree!
