Recycling Christmas cards :)
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. It was quiet here but I'm still tired lol. Today I wanted to make some cards... but didn't feel like doing much... so figured I would try something that I've been wanting to do which is Recycle some of the store bought Christmas cards that I got.
I always keep the homemade cards! But I can't store all the store bought ones. So those usually end up in the recycling. Last year I had seen Hazel doing that and I thought it was very clever.
So here's one of my 1st one using a Traditional color scheme. I also used some great velvet ribbon that I got as a Christmas gift. My mom brought me all sorts of left over ribbons and such in a big Santa bag!!! Best gift EVER.
The paper is from Authentique - Believe. I used my grand scallop and grand circle as well as my fancy label 2 from Spellbinder. I added some bling. The velvet ribbon as well as a ribbon that I purchased at Costco (they had HUGE rolls (50 yards) for 5$).
Here's a closer look at the image and I added some stickles to it. The sentiment is from Create with TLC
