Recycled Christmas Cards

The Rudolph Days April Challenge ends in a couple of days, so I made two Christmas cards today to join in the Challenge.  I seem to be behind in my plan to recycle more of the shop bought Christmas cards we received, so today I thought I'd get back on track and recycle a couple more.  Really quick and easy this time.  I trimmed both cards down, layered them on a mat and attached them to a card blank.

On the first card I used a dark silver glitter mat.....

..... and the second card has a black mat.  The silver background was part of the original card.


I am joining in the following challenges:

  2. Hi Liz

    What great recycling.

    You have created two wonderful Christmas cards. Much better than simply putting old cards into a recycling bin!

    Hope all is well with you.

    Love Jules xx

    Happy Rudolf Days.
    What fab re-cycling those images are too lovely to throw away.
    Love how you have matted them on your different colour card stock.
