Easy Stamped Stockings for the Holidays

The following post is sponsored by RubberStamps.com

This month is already flying by, and I had yet to make our stockings this year! As such an avid DIYer, I’ve made us new Christmas stockings almost every year. This year, I partnered with RubberStamps.com to make these easy stamped stockings personalized with tags for the holidays! Who says stamps are only for paper?! Using fabric paint with my stamps created a lovely effect on these plain fleece stockings. They were perfect by themselves, but I also made little embellishments to hang from the stockings for personalization. Plus, with SO MANY options to choose from on RubberStamps.com, I couldn’t decide on just one style! Whether you’re busy crafting or just sending out your holiday card for the year, be sure to visit RubberStamps.com for pre-made AND custom stamps! Keep scrolling for the full tutorial (with a video!) for these easy stamped stockings.

Do you remember my stamped envelope liners or popcorn favors from earlier this year?! While those were supposed to be for our wedding, which sadly had to be postponed until further notice, I was really impressed with the stamps. I look forward to breaking out the popcorn favor wraps when we finally have a chance to reschedule. For now, I was excited to keep playing around with RubberStamps.com’s huge selection of stamps. As someone who is NOT gifted with the ability to paint/draw, stamps make it incredibly easy to customize items. These plain stockings were the perfect canvas for holiday-themed stars and snowflakes that I never could have painted by hand.

Here’s what you need to know about stamping fabric:

  • Use a sponge brush to apply paint to the stamp when possible. A traditional brush may have too much bleed, resulting in less clear stamp.
  • Work quickly when applying paint to a stamp because it can dry before you get to place it on your stocking, resulting in an incomplete print.
  • Avoid overly complicated designs on thick fabrics. Fabrics like these fleece stockings will kind of absorb intricate designs. Instead, save the more intricate stamps for your embellishments!

How to Stamp Holiday Stockings

Stocking Supplies:

  • Fleece stockings
  • Fabric paint, any colors
  • Plastic paint palette cups
  • Snowflake stamp (1)
  • Snowflake stamp (2)
  • Snowflake stamp (3)
  • Snowflake stamp (4)
  • Star stamp

Stocking Tag Supplies:

  • Cardstock, cut into tag shape
  • Felt, cut into letter shape
  • Winter Stamp Set
  • Moss Green Pigment Ink Pad
  • Slate Grey Pigment Ink Pad
  • Silver Metallic Pigment Ink Pad
  • Hole punch
  • Felt
  • Scissors

Step 1: Lay out your holiday stocking flat, smoothing to remove dips in the fabric. Squeeze fabric paints in different colors into small paint containers.

Step 2: Use a sponge brush to dip into the paint, then scrape along the edge so there is very little paint on the sponge. Dab that paint onto the stamp lightly so it doesn’t seep through to the background. Then firmly stamp onto the stocking and carefully remove to reveal the snowflake or desired design!

Step 3: Repeat with the same or other stamps in various colors. Be sure to thoroughly clean stamps between paints with a damp towel.

Step 4: To make the tags, cut the paper into thick rectangles. If desired, trim two corners for a signature tag shape. Then apply clear cling stamps to the acrylic block. Press into the pigment ink and layer on top of each other for a sweet, simple winter scene.

Tip: You can create a simple background pattern by lightly tapping the paper onto the pigment ink! It’s a great way to create the appearance of snow or texture.

Step 5: Cut a letter out of felt. Then punch holes in both the tags and felt letters. Tie them around the stamped stocking hanging loop.

Just like that, these easy stamped stockings are ready for stuffing! Hang them over your fireplace or along a shelf for a set of stockings that is both functional and decorative for the season.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
