More Holiday Leftovers

This week we're still having fun creating with Holiday Leftovers ... all of those bits and bobs you saved because they didn't work at the time ... but they had so much future potential that you kept them.

Here are our "plates" filled with Holiday Leftovers this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "When Ranger's new Make-It Holiday Stamps and Stencils came out, I made a bunch of different backgrounds with the Peppermints Stencil before choosing one for a tutorial. Of course I saved the "variations" including this one, in which all the peppermints are pink and red. In the meantime, I really liked this pink embossed mat that turned out to be the wrong color for the Paper Anthology Ice Ice Baby Holiday jumpstart Kit; and I stumbled upon a blue gel print from probably three years ago, which I'm a little embarrassed that I saved... but in my defense it's perfect for matting these layers. I thought I might be able to use up my open pack of (now sold out) Eyelet Outlet Peppermint Candy Brads; and also the last four or five stickers on the ancient Echo Park sticker sheet this sentiment came from, but neither of those quite happened, so in fact, I now have leftovers from my leftovers card, lol!"

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "This week I tied together all of my leftovers based on a silver and white color palette.  I started with a failed snowflake embossed background panel (the parts that didn't emboss as well are covered by the elements in the center).  The silver strip of embossed snowflakes is truly a leftover using the silver that is on the inside of a Vick's Tissue box.  I pulled in two more silver rectangles ... one from glitter and another from designer paper.  I die cut and punched three snowflakes from silver and white glitter papers and topped them with an Eyelet Outlet clear gem.  I added in a piece of silver vellum that was the leftover from die cutting a circle frame.  I finished with a silver sticker sentiment and a few white pearls.  I absolutely love how elegant this card turned out."
