Those of you who have followed us over the years know that we have a special place in our hearts for EARTH DAY.
So our EARTH DAY prompt each year has been all about RECYCLING ... and we'd like you to create a holiday card that features re-cycled, re-used or up-cycled elements. You know you've got that stash of things that you saved because they were just too pretty to throw away ... break them out and create with them.
In the past we've used everything from Kleenex Boxes & Soda Cans to Gift Wrap and we *always* have a lot of fun making our own cards and admiring yours!
Here's how we got EARTH=y this week.
Stephanie's Card
Stephanie says, "I have a spot in my gift closet where I save all of the packaging bits from the year that look like they have potential for future cards. This one combines an image die cut from one of last year's holiday cards together with a stiched square cut from Tim Holtz Idea-ology packaging (I swear he makes it with the intent of it finding it's way into a design). I positioned it on a red glitter card base to pull out the foiled red metallic shimmer in my image. I finished with a Taylored Expressions Simple Strips - Christmas that was already assembled on a mat in my UFO box."
Lauren says, "I was lucky enough to get not one but TWO Amazon giftcards in December that came in these adorable reindeer-bedecked holders, so OF COURSE my first thought was, "I'm making these into cards" which... as you can see... I did! I cut off the logo-ed flaps and used Tim Holtz wordfetti style stickers to cover up the slot in the middle which held the flap closed. The design was already so cute that I only added a few diecut snowflakes, my favorite Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads and some mats.The red layer is patterned paper, but the tan consists of a few smallish scraps of leftover giftwrap that I confess I saved especially for this challenge."
