We're still endeavoring to use up some of our (crafty) Holiday Leftovers at Jingle Belles and if, like Stephanie and I, you have envelopes full of extra diecuts, little stacks of pre-embossed backgrounds or offcuts of patterned paper too pretty to throw away, you should probably join us!
Periodically, I get in the mood to make these sort of quiltish, paper-pieced strip backgrounds, so I'll make a bunch, use a few, put the rest aside, and... forget all about them, lol. So in a way, this is a story about DOUBLE leftovers, because the background itself was made from offcut strips; and then it, too, became a leftover! On top of the background I've got a blue patterned paper offcut from last week's card; some poinsettias embossed with Ranger's Red Glitter Embossing Powder; the last three brads from an ancient My Mind's Eye brad set; and a glossy red metallic Cut-plorations' Jingle Bells diecut. I added all of the above to a white A6 card, machine-stitched around the whole thing et voila!
