Recycled Christmas Again

I was challenged to recycle something. So, I cut one of my coloring book pages and recycled it as a background on a Christmas card. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Banners for Christmas

Paper:

   Powder Pink A-2

   Real Red 4 x 4-3/4

   Coloring Book Page 3-7/8 x 4-5/8

   Basic White 2 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:

   Various Colors - Personal Choice

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware

   Real Red Woven Satin Ribbon - 6"

   Tear & Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and die cut my sentiment, using the Banners for Christmas stamp set and the Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies.

I then riffled through my coloring book and found a page with Christmas colors. I cut it down to size.

Next, I adhered it to a Real Red matte.

I then took a buckle from the Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware and pulled a strip of Real Red ribbon through it. I centered it on the panel and secured it on the back, using tear & tape. 

Next, I attached the panel onto a Powder Pink card front.

Lastly, I attached the sentiment, using dimensionals, and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Nutcracker Christmas

 I used three Merry Minis stamps and created my own background for my Merry Christmas banner. I think it works. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Merry Minis

   Banners for Christmas

Paper:

   Whisper White A-2, 2-1/2 x 4, 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

Markers:

   Real Red

   Pool Party

   Pumpkin Pie

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the man, the snowman, and the snowflake randomly throughout the card front. 

Next, I grabbed my markers and colored in the men's jackets, the snowflakes, and the snowmen.

I then stamped and die cut the Merry Christmas banner, and attached it using dimensionals.

Lastly, the Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card. This is really not necessary, since the card base is white, but I like that extra thickness and finished look.

Candy Cane Heart

 I enjoy eating Candy Canes every Christmas. I remember a time when the only flavor you could get was peppermint. Today, they come in many different flavors. My favorite is Cherry. I like hanging them on the tree so that they are always within reach of my sweet tooth. Tell me about your favorite Christmas treat.

Stamps:

   Banners for Christmas

Paper:

   Rose Red A-2

   Chocolate Chip 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 2 x 4 (2), 4 x 2-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Chocolate Chip

   Rose Red

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Frosted Sequins

   White Gel Pen

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

I stamped and die cut two candy canes and then reversed one to form a heart on my card front. I used glue dots to hold the candy canes together.

I then stamped and die cut the Merry Christmas banner. I attached it using dimensionals.

I added snowflakes and sequins with adhesive.

The x's in the four corners were added with a white gel pen to fulfill an alphabet challenge. These can easily be omitted. 

Lastly, I adhered the Chocolate Chip panel to the Rose Red card base.
