Hi, everyone! The month of November is always fun because I love making holiday cards! I find inspiration everywhere - today I'm sharing two cards that I made by recycling the images on a tissue box. I was attracted to the winter owl, cardinals, and birch trees on this tissue box and decided to die-cut some circles in various sizes to make some cards. I believe both of these cards would be suitable for a man.
Here's the first card.
Products used
Dies: Nellie's Multiframe Circles, generic scalloped circle
Embossing folder: We R Memory Keepers Birch Trees
Other: Self-made sentiment in Microsoft Word
Heres my second card. The same products were used, with the exception of the embossing folder; this time I chose Cuttlebug Forest Branches.
I would like to join the following 8 challenges:

Kitty, I love love love your re-cycle cards from a tissue box...what a great way to use something so wonderful from the panels....I have tons of tissue boxes that I have in my stash...you did a great job placing the circles.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome and thanks for reminding me to go and look at my tissue boxes again....well done!
That is this most lovely Tissue box = Never seen one like that - and your cards are over the Moon STUNNING - and yes I am shouting that!!! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteI agree! This is the prettiest tissue box ever! I love how you've cut all the circles out of it. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteSo clever and you've made beautiful and unusual cards. x
ReplyDeleteWow these are stunning, what an awesome way to recycle a tissue box. Fantastic design on both cards, and the colour choices are fab.
ReplyDeleteoh these are so beautiful projects!
ReplyDeletelove that box!
Oh you clever girl Kitty! Our tissue boxes here in the UK aren't anything like as much fue and of course it's fine to 'upcycle' something as snippets. After all the lid was removed so the rest of the box is then a leftover :)
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you in both the Snippets Playground and of course at Christmas Kickstart!

Such great idea recycling the tissue box for cutting out those circles! They are so cute and beautiful!! You matched them perfectly with that paper and both the embossing folders! The bit of black makes the owls pop! Very well done my friend!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you on blogger again and again!! :)
Big hugs and love!!
Such pretty cards! Wish we had pretty boxes like that in these parts. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWow, these cards are awesome Kitty! The images are beautiful, I can see why you would want to reclaim them, and it's always a great idea to upcycle items that would otherwise go to the trash. I LOVE the circles, it's like little glimpses into different parts of the woods. I also like the black and white colour scheme with pops of red here and there. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
Two great cards Kitty, I certainly wouldn't have thought of using the old tissue box. You have a good eye.
