Leftovers Made Crafty
Leftovers are not just for dinner anymore. Today I have two cards for you and both were created using the leftovers from two different Stampin’ UP! kits.
First card features the Joy of Sharing All Inclusive Kit! Here are the actual kit samples:
And here is my card made with leftovers:
All of the supplies needed to create this card came from the leftover pieces in the Joy of Sharing Kit. The Gold Foil is what is left when you punch out the frames. I squared up the Gold Foil sheet and dry embossed it using the Tin Tile embossing folder.
For a very clean and simple look on the inside, I simply stamped the greeting from the kit in Memento Black Ink. Included with this kit are some very cute pine cones which you could certainly stamp on the inside as well.
I used those very pinecones on the inside of the second card so keep scrolling!
More leftovers on the menu! Card# 2 was created from using the odds and ends left from the Tag Buffet Kit.
Here are some samples of the tags, and it even comes with the cute little box, so your gift is ready to go!
And here is my card, starring the leftover tree!
The leftover is the tree from the tag punch outs. I dry embossed the cherry cobbler cardstock using the Winter Snow folder and the plaid is from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series pack.
I added a few Red Rhinestones to light up the tree! I created the tree stump by punching out the small rectangle typically used for the center of a bow. I used Early Expresso, but Soft Suede or Cinnamon Cider would also be great choices.
The Merry Christmas is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink on a piece of white tag leftover from the Tag Buffet kit.
