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:
Two wonderful bits of upcycling Liz and both cards look very pretty. x
ReplyDeleteHi Liz
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
Wonderful cards, I just love this and suited for any occasion. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for well wishes, recovering easily after a tooth extraction under GA but all good.

I'm tempted to send them to the friends who sent us the original cards to see if they notice. 🤣 xx
DeleteThese are lovely and a wonderful way to recycle. It's a shame not to re-use them.
