Inspired by the colors, patterns, type and surface treatment of vintage Christmas ephemera. Here are some samples from my stack – the printed matches are one of my favorites.
It has been a pleasure working on the projects and sharing things this week, thank you Grace.
I hope you have an inspired holiday!
Best,
Denise

This is an awesome collection! I have been hoarding 1960s Xmas seals for about 9 years. I have finally started to use them for decorating jewelry gift boxes this Xmas.
The first Santa and the ornaments are my faves!
