These holiday ideas are starting points for your own thoughts and traditions. The cost of the stamps is very quickly absorbed in the difference between plain white paper from your hardware store and decorative wrapping paper, or between plain white or colored cards and pre-designed invitations.

You may want to begin with some of our suggestions, but before you know it that stamp in your hand will have a life of its own.
