Sentiment Staples: Christmas Mini Stamp Set

Sentiment Staples: Christmas Tip Sheet

1. Pair the large Christmas sentiments with the smaller, companion sentiments to personalize your greeting.

2. Use the small companion phrases with any larger Christmas sentiment you already have in your collection to make this set even more versatile.

3. Stamp “Merry Christmas” and your chosen companion phrase in different colors to give part of the greeting more emphasis.

4. Pair these Christmas greetings with celebratory images in your collection (ornaments, stockings, pine boughs, reindeer, etc.) to give an older set an updated look.

5. Stamp these sentiments on a die cut banner or strip of cardstock.

6. Heat emboss these sentiments in metallic powders for a more sophisticated, elegant appearance or colorful powder for a cheery, youthful look.

7. Create a text-based background by stamping these sentiments repeatedly over the front of a card or panel. You could even switch up the orientation to create even more interest.

8. Embellish your phrase with stamped snowflakes, ornaments, or other simple images to dress them up a bit.

9. Use these sentiments to create a matching card and tag ensemble.

10. Ink your sentiment in a chosen color. Sponge a darker value of the same hue toward the bottom half of the image to give it a little extra visual weight at the base.
