Hi Friends! Today I’m sharing a card I created using one of the new stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp’s Fun & Festive collection called Critter Sweaters. It’s a fun set with several different border or sweater designs that can be mixed and matched with the sentiments that are included. It also has some adorable little critter faces that will add cuteness to your holiday cards. Enjoy!
To begin, cut a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Using Versamark Embossing Ink stamp on each border and sprinkle with white embossing powder. Set images with heat tool. When images are completely cool, color background with Tumbled Glass, Evergreen Bough and Cracked Pistachio Distress Crayons in random areas. Spritz with water and rub pigment into the background with fingertips. Dry with heat tool. Ink the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Ink Merry Christmas sentiment onto piece of white cardstock with Vintage Photo Archival Ink. Cut out sentiment with the smallest size Tim Holtz Stacked Deckle die. Ink the edges with Vintage Photo Archival Ink using a mini ink blending tool. Next cut the next size Stacked Deckle out of Simon Says Stamp Dark Chocolate cardstock and mount sentiment in the center of this piece.

To add a fun vintage style, create a pretty bow out of burlap string. Cut a few snowflakes from the Tim Holtz Mini Paper Snowflakes die set and rub Versamark Ink on the top of each snowflake. Sprinkle Ranger Snowflake Tinsel embossing powder over snowflakes and set with heat tool. When the powder is cooled, ink the edges with Vintage Photo Archival Ink and stack snowflakes together with glue. Along with the bow, adhere them to the card. Adhere the entire panel to a piece of Simon Says Stamp Dark Chocolate cardstock and you’re done!
