Card Using Scraps

Hi, everyone!  Today I am sharing a card inspired by Karen at My Cup Runneth Over!  She was the guest designer over at Pixie's Snippet Playground and I fell in love with her card, which is such a fun way to use up those small scraps of patterned paper!  Here's my version:


I had some leftovers from my Set of 4 Panel Fold Cards that I shared a couple days ago.  The papers are Woodland Christmas from We Are 3 Digital Shop. I hand-cut a banner edge on each scrap and layered them across the card.  I fussy-cut the deer from the digital paper and then hand-cut a snowbank from a white cardstock scrap.  The background paper is from the same set.  I stamped a sentiment in black and added three punched snowflakes (Recollections punch).

I would like to support the following challenges:  A Perfect Time to Craft AG UE; Beccy's Place - Month of Holiday Cards I'm jumping ahead to "O" for Outdoors; Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas AG Optional Use Some Glitter UE; Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper November UE; Cute Card Thursday Festive UE; DL.ART November Linky UE 1/d; Dragonfly Dreams Christmas/Winter UE; Little Patch of Crafty Friends AG 1/3; The Outlawz Festive Friday Christmas UE; Word Art Wednesday 412-413 AG w Uplifting Sentiment wk1 4/5

Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!

I love the banner idea and I know now I am using those banner dies I own to make my banners - as I have a TON of scraps - I love Karen's L work and copy her now and then - this was truly a great idea so I now have a use of getting rid of scraps - your card turned out so very beautiful Fit Kitty - stunning!

I made one of these too. I was inspired by Karen's card at Pixie Snippets. Yours is quite lovely with the blue and silver.

Gorgeous colours Kitty, I love the beautiful soft blue combined with the grey. Your card looks very peaceful. I've seen the original card that inspired your creation, it sure is a beauty and you've done a wonderful job with your version. It's a fabulous way to use scraps and I think I'll be creating some of these myself. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy

Isn't it wonderful when you find a card design that uses up those pieces of beautiful paper that you just can't throw away? :-) Love this card design, Kitty. The papers you used work beautifully together. The deer are the perfect touch for this wintry card. Wonderful work, my friend.
Enjoy your day!
