A card today using up lots of snippets of Christmas patterned paper.
The patterned paper pad was from The Works. It was much easier to make than it looks, just two sets of four circles of different sizes layered together, then cut in half. This was enough to make two cards. At least it should have been easy if I hadn't used paper with a directional pattern! I had to remake one set or the Christmas trees would have been upside down. Lesson learnt! The sentiment strip was from the same paper pad. I added a few red pearls to finish my card.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Brilliant use of snippets Liz,you create amazing cards using them.
ReplyDeleteOh wow so stunning this design! And the colours made it pop beautful in my blogrol... Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteI just love this technique which is fun to do and as you say is easier than it appears. Great for using up snippets too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool design, Liz! A great way to use snippets and celebrate Rudolph Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning design Liz, clever idea, so effective. It makes a stunning contempory Christmas card. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is great paper and what a fun design. The red pattern paper made a lovely mat for the panel. I would like to try this.
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting look Liz and I love the red and navy papers and brought together beautifully with the strip across the middle and one of the papers used as a background and also the pretty red pearls. x
ReplyDeleteHi Liz,
ReplyDeleteHappy Rudolf Days.
Oh this is a fantastic idea to use up snippets of card.
I love your wonderful design and the colours look brilliant and so pretty.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
What an eyecatching card Liz and it looks really impressive too!! Might have to borrow this idea if I may xx
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few cards using this technique, so it's not my idea. Looking forward to seeing your card. Remember to use plain or non-direction patterned paper for the circles. 😉
DeleteI love this card Liz - what a great way to use your snippets.

ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to get to this design. I don't think I've seen it done with pattern papers before and this is absolutely stunning.

So striking, so creative and clever and I had a little chuckle about the tree being upside down Liz x.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up scraps Liz. Hope you don't mind if I file that idea of yours away for a later date.

I got the idea from other cards I’d seen and a demo on the Nifty Noddles Facebook page, so it’s not my original idea. Looking forward to seeing your version sometime. xx
DeleteA brilliant Rudolph Day card using up your Christmas snippets Liz.
ReplyDeleteYour wish is my command . . . I'll bring you over a nice cup of tea . . . just find a nice comfy chair up in the Playground Treehouse. Fancy a slice of cake too???? It's virtual, so it's completely calorie-free!!!! xxx
Chocolate cake and a cup of tea would be perfect. See you there. xx
DeleteIt's so pretty! I have seen other cards with this fun techniques, but you have used half circles of different sizes and this make the effect more interesting. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove this card Liz! I love when I see this circle design and have intentions of trying this myself. Love the papers you chose, sorry about the directional paper messing you up though. That is something I wouldn't have given a thought about until after I cut the circles and went to use the other half. lol I hope I remember this for when I go to try it out! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI love this technique Liz - and your card is a delight! Great way to use up snippets as well of course.
