Christmas Craft Creations - Snippets

I'm still working on Christmas cards.  This is the second one I've posted this week and it's for Christmas Craft Creations.  They want you to use your snippets and who doesn't have a lot of those.

This paper pack is from 2013 and I don't know why I bought it.  It has a lot of brown and darker Christmas colors in it.  I want to use it up so took the scraps to make these gifts from the layered boxes from Waffle Flower.  PTI's Rustic Cream was used for the card base to go with the rather rustic look of the paper.  The sentiment is from Penny Black. 

While I had the scraps out, I made a second card - different orientation.

I can see using this die set for presents for both Christmas and birthdays.

Just Us Girls #652 - Word Week

Do you have a bunch of scraps that you would like to use up?  Then this week's challenge at Just Us Girls is perfect for you.  Ina is our host for Word Week and this is what she chose.

I ended up channelling Ardyth for my card.  She is a master of using small pieces to make a great graphic card. 

After using this die on previous cards,

all those little cuts from the J and Y were scattered on my desk and I saw a flower.  I plopped six of the cuts into CP Apricot ink and layered an extra one under each.  The center is a circle from MFT colored with CP Terra Cotta and the stem and leaf were hand cut.  I masked off the SSS sentiment to stamp the Happy part in Terra Cotta to add that color again. 

The Design Team and our guest Lynne Jardine have cards using scraps on the blog.  We'd like to see what you can do with them so we hope you add your card to the gallery.

Time Out #77

I'm squeaking under the wire for the Time Out challenge so here's my card.

PTI die, HA stamp, paper from my stash

And here's the inspiration photo.

I was inspired by the variations of patterns on the bottom of the mural.
