We're still celebrating EARTH Day at Jingle Belles this week by creating cards featuring recycled materials.
Here is how we recycled, reused & Jingled this week:
Lauren says, "If someone hands me a present wrapped in beautiful paper which has a smooth, un-wrinkled, un-taped area that's card-sized or larger, I will (surprise!) be saving that giftwrap! I like to immediately back it with lightweight cardstock and store it with my regular patterned paper. This card has two such saves from Xmas 2024: the white snowflake background piece, and the torn tan snowflake piece. The snowglobe is a dimensional sticker which was part of a gift tag. In addition to these recycled items, I've got a scrap of lace, a bit of washi tape, part of an embossed snowflake panel and a couple of diecut snowflakes. The "joy" sentiment was cut from a larger dimensional embellishment, because it was the perfect size, color and vibe for this card."
Stephanie says, "What can I say ... when a theme works I repeat it. This week's card features a Puffs tissue box. Since Puffs puts their logo in the corner rather than the center, a stitched circle made the most sense to get as much of that lovely floral holiday pattern as possible. I used two smaller stitched circles to pull in some more of those white blooms. I attached it all to more K & Company packaging and added a Simon Says Stamp CZ Design Merry & Bright sentiment & snowflakes die cut from scraps of a GelliArts print and vellum that were small enough to likely be headed to the recycling. And to stay with the theme of last week's card, I added more of those delicious Concord & 9th Enamel Dots. I love this unexpected color combination for a holiday card."
Remember, you have until 6pm EST on Wednesday to link-up and join the EARTH Day fun.
