Happy Monday, Stampers! I'm going to kick off the week with some Christmas cards that I made using a small recycled gift bag that was torn. I thought, why toss it? Let's see if I can make some cards with it!
Here are my cards:
The gift bag was kraft-colored with white snowflakes, so for my first card, I went with kraft and white cardstock. I added some layers, snowflakes, tags and gems and was pleased with my first card.
My second card is square. I simply cut my square of the gift bag corner to corner and split a seam where I could stamp my greeting. I added some layers and a black greeting and mat to make it pop. I opted to leave this one plain with no embellishments.
For my final card I was out of gift bag so I added a piece of DSP from my stash. I added black layers to make the elements pop and finished by embellishing with gingham ribbon and a rhinestone gem.
I hope this gives you pause the next time you go to throw something in the trash. Stop for a moment, and ask yourself how you can recycle it. 😉
