A bit of recycling

Hello everyone, today I have 4 CAS Christmas cards to show you and to make these I did a bit of recycling!! After last christmas I put aside 4 cards that had been sent to us and I thought I could recycle parts of them to make some CAS cards for this year.

The patterned shapes and the snowflake came off one card and we received two cards with a red glittered front and a large gold glittered shape. I used my heart, star and circle nesties to cut shapes from the glittered card and I ended up with an assortment of die cut shapes. After a bit of arranging I decided what would go where and I created these four cards.....which I have to say I am really pleased with and they look really effective in real life!!!

All the sentiments came from WMS and I used my copic multi liner to draw in the fine black lines. I used my corner chomper to shape the corners and I finished off each card with a ribbon bow.

I hope you all have a fab Christmas and new Year. xx

The DP is some I had in my stash so I am not sure of the brand.

I used a DooHickey Tag die and I inked it with DIs and stamped it with the Jingle Jangle Snowflake from the same collection.

I used a DooHickey die to create the swirl and I finished off with some lace, ribbon and pearls. Finally, I used a die from Joy Crafts to create my card stand.
