Many Christmas Greetings

Hi friends! Merry Christmas!! I hope you are having a lovely and peaceful time. We finally got slightly colder weather and a dusting of snow, after having had almost completely grey and wet weather during the entire December.

I made a tall card with lots of colorful Christmas greetings. You can do this design with non-Christmas sentiments too of course, or repeat the same sentiment many times. The card is about 9.5 in tall. 

I cut Ranger Heavystock paper into strips and white embossed sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Plaque Slides Christmas on each strip. 

Pick Distress Ink colors, smear on a non-stick craft sheet, mist with water and press the strips into the ink. 

Let dry and repeat until you are happy with the look. Add darker shades of ink in the final layers.

Repeat with Distress Oxide inks, but this time, just dab the papers into the ink here and there.

Die cut Simon Says Stamp Simple Peace from Simon Says Stamp white glossy cardstock and white glitter cardstock. Ink the gloss cardstock with two shades of Distress Ink.

Cut the sentiments into rectangles and plan how you will place them on the background cardstock.

Adhere the squares and distress the edge of the panel. Add Simon Says Stamp Mint cardstock as a mat.

All the inky layers add depth and texture to the sentiment rectangles.

I die cut peace one more time from Simon Says Stamp white glitter cardstock and off-set slightly. Adhere with Pawsitively Perfect Foam tape. I glued three colors of Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gems under the sentiment.

Use different colors for a different look. Or make all the rectangles the same color.

The sentiments from Simon Says Stamp Plaque Slides Christmas are really great, with a mix of large and small words.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for visiting today! 

Happy crafting!
