Holiday Leftovers

One of the best things about a big holiday meal is the LEFTOVERS, don’t you agree?!

But in a cardmaking sense, when we Jingle Belles say “Holiday Leftovers” it means we’re creating cards using all those leftover offcuts and scraps of patterned paper, alphabet stickers, little snips of ribbon, extra diecuts that didn’t get used when cut… you know, all of those tiny things we save because they’re too pretty to throw away? Well this is the time to let’s drag them all out and see how many we can use on holiday cards! (Be sure to tell us in your post what leftovers you’ve used.)

I’ve never been great about saving my leftovers, but this year I designated a container to save all of my bits & bobs. This week I challenged myself to only use things from the container for my card … and I was successful.

All I added were two sticker sentiments and an enamel dot in the center of the snowflakes.

With my stitched rectangle, snowflakes & circle, I’m joining the Diecuts Challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More!

And it’s an Anything Goes Celebrate Challenge at Just Us Girls.

  1. Didn’t this turn out just perfect. I love that vintage image and the bright bold colours – I love that idea of the bits and bobs challenge – I’ll try and find time to play along too. Thanks for sharing with us at ATSM Die/Stencil week
