I found a few snippets of dark green and red cardstock buried on my craft table, so it was time to make a Christmas card. I die-cut the SSS pinpoint border with green, then took lots of tiny red snippets and cut some negatives from the die, inserting them back into the die for some Christmas contrast. I added a SNSS scalloped border die to the bottom and added a double piece of red/white twine to the top. The sentiment is a die-cut from Kaisercraft and it's all on a Vanilla card base. I'm sharing this with the following challenges...
Pixies Snippet Playground weeks #275 and 276 - must use snippets
CHNC #327 -anything goes Christmas challenge
CHNC Extra for April 2017 - anything goes Christmas challenge
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Monday!

Hi there Carol, this is lovely...you are really making the nicest Christmas Cards.xx ♥[aNNie]
I love your card Carol. The pinpoint border looks great. Barbxx
Brilliant card Carol - and I love how you popped the red inserts into the die cut. It looks quite Scandinavian to me - plus a super way to use up snippets of course!
Great to see you in the Playground :)

You are just going to be ready for Christmas by 4th of July, huh? I see you enjoyed some therapy with the inlay work on this cool card!
Fun card, Carol and I love the twine. Looks just like a candy cane, which is appropriate for the season. Nice job on all those little inserts. Wishing you a good day.
Mercy me! You have so much patience! Love the all the little inserts and they make this Christmas card pop. You'll have all your holiday cards done quick.

You have surely a lot of patience, Carol!! Fabulous use of these tiny snippets and this bi-colours border really makes the design of your card! Love the scallop border that makes it sweet and the twine!
I have a lot of snippets all around my table...but no time to use them :(
Very nice Christmas card...Nice design!
Oh WOW, this is just perfect for the holidays!, Carol! It surely took sometime to do in the inlays but it's beautiful! Love the traditional Christmas colors and your Merry Christmas diecut!! TFS and have a wonderful day! :)
Oh wow that had to take some time to place all those little red pieces!! But it makes for a very eye catching card. CG
Great card!
I am so loving this CAS Christmas card Carol!!! I love the simplicity of it and the traditional colors. That die is amazing and I've fallen in love with it too. lol But I'm sure it took a bit of time to place all those red pieces back in but so worth it!!! Hugs, Brenda

I'm always impressed with your patience at piecing all those little bits back in. I always manage to lose one along the way and have to cut more (and I don't even do things with as many bits). It's a great card and I hope the lucky recipient will appreciate your efforts! It's only right!
