Here are two quick cards I made in trying to finish up a favorite pack of retired dsp from SU! called I think Candy Cane Lane. I had a few small bits of it left and hated to waste any of it. The dsp was die-cut with a stitched rectangle die, and the snowflake was made with a Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake die in white and mirror gold. I placed the gold bits back into the white snowflake for a touch of elegance. The red mirror gold panel was embossed with a TE poinsettia ef and I placed a piece of SU! retired gold ribbon on top. The little round golden bits were made with a hole punch and placed randomly for some extra sparkle.
I'm entering this into
I used the vertical line from the left side - ribbon, kraft, red, and white and stitching (faux)
Here's a 2nd card using another piece of that same SU! dsp but with a different Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake and some gold glitter cardstock. The embossing folder used on the red is SU! softly fallen, and the ribbon was a leftover piece - just enough to go around the card. I'm going to enter this card into these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - let it snow
Little Red Wagon Challenge #579 - snow day
We actually had our first snow day yesterday but it all melted quickly. We were out of town at a doctor's appointment and concerned about getting home safely, but all ended well thank goodness.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

Two super cards, Carol. A great way of using up the last of the patterned paper. I love the snowflake die cuts. xx
Great mix of papers, die cut, and love the texture. Beautiful card.
Red and white, perfect for the candy cane lane patterned paper and that red mirror card is absolutely delightful and looks super duper embossed. I think your pretty festive snowflakes are the only ones I'm going to see this year... boohoo x

Oh my goodness Carol, I love BOTH of them! I think I still have a few bits of some of that paper myself and I'm exactly the same as you...I hoard it all so terribly! LOL! You've done some beautiful work with that snowflake die as well as the mirrored cardstock too! Thanks for inspiring friend!

These are both so pretty!! The papers are fabulous and I can see why you didn't want to waste them! I, too, can never stand to throw away my bits and pieces of patterned paper. Love the pretty snowflakes you used, too. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
I don't know if my previous comment went through or not, so I'm sorry if I repeat myself!! These are so pretty! I love the bits of paper and I can see why you didn't want to waste them! I, too, hate having to throw away any pretty papers. Love your beautiful snowflakes, too! Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
This is beautiful - love all the different cardstocks and different designer papers you used. Beautiful snowflake
Gorgeous cards. You really picked some pretty paper for them. Glad the snow melted for you to have a safe trip home. We may get a little dusting of snow in a couple of days. I am not ready for snow, but guess what, it will snow anyway. :)
