Delicious Leftovers

All of the Holiday Leftovers in our gallery are absolutely fantastic ... here are a few of our favorite dishes:

Aimeslee of Paper Paisley's Art Adventures

...used a fabulous scrap of rainbow trim together with making her background from lots of paper scrap strips ... what a Scrap-tastic holiday design.

Silke of KartenKram

...had enough leftover diecuts from her last card-making session to make this beauty! We agree that using up those extras is much more fun than tidying them away!

Meg of Bits and Pieces

...has a "bits box" in which she keeps all the pretty extras that accumulate when she makes cards; she raided it to brilliant effect to make this beauty!

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we loved seeing all of your creations. We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope will help you Take Stock!

Raiding the Refrigerator

We're still raiding the refrigerator (or your studio table, sticker stash, or wherever else you keep your leftovers) to create our cards this week.

Stephanie's Other Card 

Stephanie says, "I went to my sticker bin for my buffet of leftovers. I love using leftover stickers to fill the entire front of my card. I combined some leftover puffy drink stickers with several texty stickers and a vintage wood block Hero Arts stamp for holiday cheer. I finished with scatterings of leftover bling." 

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "This baby is 100% leftovers, but admittedly, by virtue of my storage system, I've stacked the deck. Several years ago, while setting up for a cardmaking gathering with a bunch of non-papercrafters, I made lots of diecuts, pre-trimmed backing panels, and cardbases. My idea was that it would be a sort of Card Buffet. As it turned out, the party didn't take place; but I kept the organizational system and it's really helpful for making fast cards. Like this one!"

Holiday Leftovers

One of my favorite things about the holiday meal is the leftovers … I always enjoy a little stuffing and cranberry sauce on my ham sandwich. So this week we're celebrating Holiday Leftovers by creating cards using all of those little leftover pieces of paper, alphabet letters, stickers, ribbon … you know those things you have saved because they were just too cute to throw them away … well, we want to see you use them to make some fun leftover holiday cards.

Here's how we used our Holiday Leftovers: 

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I recently designed a holiday-themed "Class in a Kit" for my LSS, Paper Anthology which featured stacked windows of diamond, oval and circle shaped mats. Which means I now have a lifetime supply of diecut circles, ovals and diamonds. Not a bad "problem" to have, lol! I managed to use six of the diamonds to create my distressed argyle pattern, which I topped with a couple of fabric poinsettias and the leftover bits and pieces of Eyelet Outlet Swirl Bling that I had trimmed to fit on various other cards."

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I included lots of leftover from my Prima Santa Baby Collection (paper scraps and stickers) using this week's Sketch Saturday.  I also added a few other stray sentiment stickers from my stash and even some pink postage stamps to finish the design."

One lucky, randomly chosen, participant will receive the 4"x6" Acrylic Stamp set Be Merry and Classic from Couture Creations.
