I'm still working with snippets and trying to use them up on some cards. I started with a scrap of white and glued on squares of Christmas-themed papers and then die cut the panel with a GMD scalloped rectangle die. I also die-cut a Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake die from mirror red and gold cardstock and placed that over the top and added a pre-printed SSS sentiment.
After die-cutting the snippet panel, I decided to use the frame to make another card. This one has 3 smaller Lawn Fawn stitched snowflakes and a KaiserCraft die-cut Christmas sentiment. I also stenciled some white snowflakes with a Heidi Swapp stencil.
I'll enter these cards into the following challenges:
The August Rudolph Days Challenge - A/G Christmas
The Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #46 - A/G Christmas
The Happy Little Stampers August Christmas Challenge - A/G Christmas

Two great Christmas cards and I like how you've used the left over frame to make the second one. Good work using up snippets.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful way to use your snippets!. Love how you used the frame again in the 2nd piece, great idea, and 2 wonderful cards are ready. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteNice to get too cards from the one panel and they are both lovely.
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards great use of scraps and love that you used the frame part too

Both of these are so pretty and a great idea to use the frame on the second card - from the first one. I may have to CASE this! Love all the use of the little scraps of paper and that pretty snowflake.

Two great Christmas cards Carol, brilliant way to use up snippets. xx
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I love the softness on the colors and the mirror on the card draws the eyes to the card.
ReplyDeleteI love both cards and what a great way to use the snippets. A great time to start Christmas cards. I am always struggling at the last minute to get mine done.
ReplyDeleteLove them, Carol! You always do amazing things with your snippets of paper! I love the patchwork done on the first card! Looks so pretty with that snowflake on top! The patchwork frame on the second is just lovely and lets the shiny paper sentiment steal the show! Great job as you must have quite the pile of Christmas cards all ready to go this season! Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteI gorgeous card using your snippets, I need to do the same!!

These cards are gorgeous Carol! I love that patchwork design you've created with the panel and also the fact that you were able to create TWO designs with the same left over piece! So I'm assuming you've cut each square and placed them over a panel and then die cut it? The LF snowflakes are my fave! They look so pretty with the red metallic!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous way to use up snippets and a fabulous way to get 2 cards out of one! I love these Carol, they are so festive!! I haven't made a background like this in a long time, so I truly need to make some again and what better snippets than Christmas snippets! These are so fun! Love the white spots in the second card, a bokeh look which is fabulous. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I love more the first or the second card, they are both so pretty!!! Surely your use of scraps is SO clever!! You founded just the perfect die to cut the panel and the leftover frame is adorable! Love the stencilled snowfall in the background of the second card, I thought that it was patterned paper :) Love the touch of shine with the mirri snowflakes and the Merry Christmas sentiment. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteSending my hugs and love for the weekend!
Two more fantastic cards made with pattern papers in a unique way. That is a lovely snowflake die.
ReplyDeleteThe bold snowflake is a real eyecatcher. Very nice christmascards.
