Hi to you all on this rather unpleasant day. We have just had a very pleasant weekend with a visit from John's cousins. I will try and get around to visit your blogs soon.
This card has been either recycled or upcycled - I don't know what the difference is! Lol! It was originally a chocolate bar wrapper from my lovely friend Sue P, aka PlanetSusie, which she had decorated making a fairly simple, but yummy gift, much more special.
My Card
Not a very good picture for some reason - the lower part looks blurred.
The flowers are SB Die D-Lites Blooms 3 and 4 and the leaves are Die D-Lites Corner Sprigs. I think they are so pretty. I don't have any of these dies but they may well find themselves on my wish list now! The sentiment is JustRite Grand Sentiments.
Well that's it for today. Hope everybody is feeling well.

Hello Christine, I agree this is gorgeous paper and how clever to put it to good use, it's a very lovely card and the colours and flowers are fab. So pleased you had a great weekend with your family, hugs Kate
What a great idea: using wrapping papers as designpapers on cards! It looks fabulous Christine!
(I used the designed inside of envelopes. Sometimes you get a real nice one!).
Hugs,
Lia
This is such a clever use of such pretty paper Christine, love your card and your flowers put a beautiful finishing touch to it. There are so many flower dies around now, I must not get tempted by any more. xx Flora

Christine this is gorgeous, love this paper, they should print it off as craft paper, must say I have never seen chocolate wrapped in such pretty paper. You have made real good use of this, the flowers and sprigs are really pretty, I have these dies but don't use them enough.
Love & Hugs

I think up cycling is the yuppie posh version of reclying. Works for me either way just so long as I'm not actually on my bike that is!!!
Love the chocolate wrapper design and yes it deserves a second (or is it third does being a cholickit wrapper count as the 1st ?!) airing. Looks fab on your card. hugs Mrs A.
p.s. Thank you for following. Hopefully blogger has got itself sorted out now as another problem I had of not seeing my readers list has resolved itself as well.
Fingers and toes crossed!
hugs Mrs A.
This is a super use of a recycle object, and how wonderful to get the chance to enjoy it all over again. The pretty dp added with the lovely flowers, turned it into a beautiful card - to be enjoyed by another recipient. That's what I call recycling! TFS & Hugs
Hi there Christine - this looks lovely with your added sentiment . I will never know why I hadn't used these papers before 'cos I looked through the huuuuuge pad of them and they are quite gorgeous. Love how you have used the green pearlescent paper underneath - looks great. What I would call wonderful re-upcycling.
Hugs to you both and I hope the weather is better for roofworks!

Hi Christine, Love your recycled card..gorgeous papers & flowers... Hugs May x x
I'm with Mrs A. UpCycling is the posher version of recycling! lol
Whatever it is you have one very posh card! Sue made a fabulous chocolate wrapper and you turned it into a beautiful card!
Hi Christine
Sorry I'm sooo behind.
Great idea for re-using the choccie wrapper. I've just put mine on the shelf as I didn't want to bin it so must follow your example.
Beautiful papers aren't they?
Best wishes.
