Hello and welcome.
Can’t quite believe we are on the last challenge of the month for May over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown – where did this month go to?! It’ll soon be Christmas!
I’ve recently been giving myself a personal challenge to use up my paper scraps, so this challenge is just perfect for me as that’s exactly what it challenges us to do – use your scraps!
So, from my treasure chest of scraps, I found these co-ordinating papers and die cut pieces for my card…
I started with a piece of very vanilla card to make the base, and adhered strips of paper and crumb cake card, sandwiching a piece of gold embossed vellum between two of the papers too, all from Stampin Up.
The die cut trees, gifted to me by a friend, matched beautifully with the coloured polka dots in the paper.
Finally, I added a star, punched from gold glitter card, echoing the gold of the embossing in the vellum, and corner rounded the top right corner.
I love how this turned out – it used up so many of my scraps and has the added bonus that it’s flat for posting.
I hope you’ve been inspired to join the challenge this week – we’d love to see what you make.
Enjoy your weekend.
