I missed last month's Rudolph Day as we were away in our campervan, but have made a quick upcycled card (upcycling is my theme this year) for this month's challenge. This card is made with the patterned card from the top of a box of Waitrose chocolates.
I trimmed the purple and gold card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and attached it to the front. I trimmed a piece of white hammer card and die cut the Christmas tree from the centre - setting it aside as I wanted to use the leaves. The panel was trimmed and attached to the card. I die cut the Christmas tree from the purple and gold card before inlaying both the tree and white leaves.
To make this card I used:
6" x 4" white hammer card blank
Sizzix 'Trees, Leafy' die
Upcycled Waitrose chocolate box
White hammer card
I am entering the following challenges:
Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes
