This fortnight at Jingle Belles, we're celebrating Holiday Leftovers... by creating cards using all of those little leftover pieces of papers, alphabet letters, stickers, ribbon; you know, all of thosebits and bobs we've saved because they were just too lovely to throw away or recycle. It's time to retrieve those (well, a few of 'em, anyway!) and use them to make some fun holiday leftover cards.
Here's my batch of leftovers:
As you can see, I had an already paper-pieced version of Spellbinders' Snowman Hugs die set; a background where I stamped and masked with several different Wendy Vecchi background stamps and her gorgeous Leaf Green Archival Ink; a few paper strips that had been border-punched; and the de-bossed side of a panel of green cardstock on which I had inked the em-bossed side... but then not liked it. And here's my finished card:
All I had to do to make the "leftovers" into the card was round the corners on the two panels, add one more layer of patterned paper and machine-stitch around the edges. Easy, peasy!
Be sure to head over to Jingle Belles to see what Stephanie has made and then start thinking up what YOU will link up! This "Holiday Leftovers" challenge runs until the evening of Wednesday, August 14th.
