At Jingle Belles we're still making cards that feature a recycled, reused or upcycled element, and you're still invited to join the fun. Here are my recycled ingredients for this week: some poinsettia giftwrap that I backed with cardstock, part of a box from a cool tea-themed advent calendar my neighbor Deb gave me, and the cover of a random holiday catalog I saved.
And here's my card:
I glued the catalog cover to some cardstock, then fussycut the handsome nutcracker, making him a little bit shorter so that my finished card will fit into a #10 envelope. I used the tea box and the giftwrap just like regular patterned paper, adding gold mats to make them stand out more. I found a glittery sentiment flag in a pack of cardstock ephemera pieces (from Carta Bella a couple of years ago, I think) and added it on little slivers of foam tape et voila... my design is complete!
Be sure to visit Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and to check out the Readers' Gallery which is definitely worth the trip!
