Holiday Leftovers

One of my favorite things about the holiday meal is the leftovers … I always enjoy a little stuffing and cranberry sauce on my ham sandwich.

So this week we're celebrating Holiday Leftovers at Jingle Belles by creating cards using all of those little leftover pieces of paper, alphabet letters, stickers, ribbon … you know those things you have saved because they were just too cute or pretty to throw them away … well, we want to see you use them to make some fun leftover holiday cards.

 

 

Once of the best ways to showcase little bits and bobs is using a clean & simple design, so I started my design with the AAA Cards Challenge to use a torn or ripped edge. 

 

 

I tore a strip from it to use with the Sketch from the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers. 

 

Since it was purple, I decided to also go with the Color Hues Challenge of Purple & Green.

 

The Gina K. Designs Gnome for the Holidays Dies are perfect to use with scraps of paper that are too pretty to throw away ... I used two gelli print scraps and a scrap of white textured cardstock for the beard & pom pom on his hat.  I took my inspiration from the Peace on Earth Challenge.

 

 

I finished with a sentiment from the Gina K. Designs Gnome for the Holidays stamp set.  I'm also joining The Holly and Ivy Challenge where it's Anything Christmas.

 

 

And believe it or not, it's also Gnome for Christmas at Christmas Kickstart Challenge.
