Snippet Christmas Card Set


 I started going through my red and green snippets of designer papers to create this set of cards. Whenever you cut a card front it leaves you with strips of pretty papers that are too good to throw away, so I saved them all and used them to make these cards. The papers are from SU! and Lawn Fawn and I'll describe each image on the individual cards.


This is Lawn Fawn's Season's Tweetings and all the horizontal panels of SU! papers were cut with MFT stitched horizontal dies and a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die for the image panel.

 This is a MFT image, cut on a stitched square die and colored with Copics. DSP by Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is by MFT.

This is a retired SU! image named Dasher, heat embossed in gold with a GMD stitched oval die and several red gemstones with a MFT sentiment and SU! designer papers.


This is also a retired SU! image called Snow Swirled, heat embossed in gold with red gemstones and a small punched gold star done with a SU! mini punch and placed on a Lil Inker die-cut stitched rectangle. The sentiment is unbranded. Papers by SU!


This last card uses some different SU! papers but is the same Snow Swirled image and a different sentiment by MFT.

Sharing this with the Snippets Playground #490 - must use Snippets



I was going to enter the Rudolph Day September challenge too but it's already closed. I still have over 2 hours before it's October, but I'll have to wait until next month on that one LOL

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great Autumn week.

Heartfelt thoughts and prayers going out to all of those folks impacted by the wrath of that storm Helene. The videos and photos I've seen are just devastating and heartbreaking for what they're dealing with. May God bless them one and all.

You're always excellent at using up those snippets! I save mine and then end up going through them and throwing a lot of them out months later! Espescially love the tree stamp!

Donna said...

Each one is fabulous, and to think those beautiful backgrounds were snippets, wow!

Carol, each & every one of these cards is so AWESOME! Love the papers and images on them. Definitely a great way to use up those snippets in our stashes! The one with the Snow Swirled embossed trees on is my favorite! I'm a sucker for red, green & gold embossing! Great job on the challenge, my friend!! Yes, my heart goes out to the people down south and all they are dealing with. So sad that some places have totally been wiped off the map. Thoughts & prayers to them!!

Oh wow I just love this whole set Carol! You clever lady you! I love your idea of that extra strip left over...yes, I throw them back into the pack when done thinking I'll use it later! So love this idea! Every image works great with these sets too!
Yes, the storm has really caused some devastation for sure and thinking about all that are effected. HUGS

Oh how I feel these cards. Great use of these leftover reds and greens for some wonderful Christmas cards. I need to go back through my leftover Christmas papers and use more up. Somehow I feel they multiply. LOL!
