Classical Christmas is inspired by the luscious layering and opulence of a Renaissance Christmas. We were generous with decadent detail in this collection and it will have your mind spinning with project ideas! 😉

The designs lend themselves wonderfully to mixed-media and paper-craft treatments. Consider stamping Classical Christmas with gold ink and pairing it with our Apothecary Labels Stamp to create Christmas cards that glisten. 

Project Suggestions: 

• Dress up Christmas cards, tags, and table-setting labels.

• Stamp a full wreath with holly, berries, and cherubs. 

• Stamp with an adhesive medium and some glitter to add a little sparkle to Christmas cards. 

Pair With: 

• Crimson Velvet Transfer

• Ephemeral Type Stamp

• Tinsel Transfer 

• Adornment Stamp 

SURFACES AND APPLICATIONS

Fabric: When stamping fabric the load of medium should be generous in order to penetrate the fibers, and the look will be different with different levels of fabric texture. Décor ink, Chalk paint and other fabric suitable mediums work well. It is our opinion that the ideal fabric for permanent washables is 100 percent cotton. However, blends and some other natural fibers can sometimes work as well. Do a small test to be sure. Allow your newly stamped fabric to dry/cure for a minimum of 24 hours, then heat set with an iron on high heat before washing.

Furniture: Both painted and stained furniture can be stamped. In fact, this is one of the most common uses of our Décor Stamps. You can use ink or paint, but I tend to use paint more for furniture.

Walls: Walls are a fabulous surface opportunity for Décor Stamps. Create all over patterns that are a level up from wallpaper, and completely custom, or use the décor stamps to create an old world border. We love using paint for wall applications!

CARING FOR YOUR STAMPS

We find that the easiest way to care for and clean stamps is to keep wet wipes nearby, and avoid letting the medium dry all the way on the stamp surface. Then, when you have time, wash them with mild soap and warm water. For some mediums you may find that you need a stamp cleaner. Use one that is safe for clear stamps. After thoroughly cleaned, place them back on the clear backing for storage
