Last February I made a multi-fold easel Christmas card, but it didn't get used and I wasn't that keen on it, so didn't see any point in keeping it. But there was no way that I was going to discard it so I decided to take it to pieces and use most of those pieces along with other bits from my offcuts box to make three new cards.
This is the original card and you can read about it here:
And here are the three cards I made:
This is for:
A card a day facebook
Rudolph day 25 January
Pixie's crafty snippets week 57
Christmas cards all year round January: anything goes
Sunday's with Santa facebook week 4: Santa (the first card)
Chococlate, coffee & cards 31: rock on - music related (first and third cards)
Frosted designs fabulous Friday: music (first and third cards)
Crafting by designs: getting ready for Christmas - snowman (second card)
A gem of a challenge 64: holidays
Card caravan (the hybrid chick) 36: winter

I'm always in favour of a little selective recycling and stash busting!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
Gorgeous - I especially love the holly berry paper on the second snowman card - it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are brilliant... what a great save from something you weren't keen on!
I've just popped over from Pixie's place to say "hello!",

I'm sorry Hazel, but I have a challenge limit rule on Rudolph Day now . . . 5 additional challenge entries only. As you've entered 16 I'm afraid I will have to remove your entry from my own challenge.
ReplyDeleteIf you make another Christmas card before the end of the month and only enter it to a max of 5 other challenges, I'd love to see you enter again.
Wow, three cards from one - that's great going. I also love the holly backing paper - perfect! Hugs, Di xx
