Recycling at International Art and Soul

Good morning.  It is a very white world this morning - frost, not snow I hasten to add - so it will be staying indoors beside the fire keeping warm today; not that I had any plans to go anywhere ...lol!

The theme at IAAS this time is recycling.  I have used two of the Christmas cards I received this Christmas and merged then into one.  I always say that I will do this but don't often get round to it.  However, already hthis year I have recycled three cards so I'm feeling petty pleased with myself.  I only recycle bought cards - the handmade ones from my crafty friends are kept separately.

Please scroll down to previous post if you are looking for my Christmas Card Club Card.

My Card

Recipe

5" x 7" base card

gold edged cream card - recycled

blue and gold topper recycled

peel off greeting

The cream card is fairly thin cardstock so I adhered it to a base card which then made quite a sturdy card. The gold sparkle edge looks lopsided but it is obviously the way I took the photograph because it is level in real life.

Why not pop across to the blog and see what my teamies have come up with.  Some of them have been very adventurous! 

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Angels or Fairies at Christmas Card Club.

Good morning and welcome to my blog today  Hopefully you are all feeling well and not suffering from any bugs that might be around.. I have posted three times this week and two have been Christmas cards ... lol!  Good start for my collection. I decided that I would go through my received cards and see what I could rescue for recycling and this is from one of those cards.

My Card

Recipe

6" square white base card

turquoise card  - Hobbycraft

pink card from stash 

recycled image

Noble Pierced Squares  dies - Sue Wilson

Dainty Dots e/f - Spellbinders

Virtuoso music die - memory Box

This is such a sweet image that it would have been a sin to put it in for recycling.  All I did was add some gold glitter to the halos and stars and job done. The colours of the papers were perfect too.

Well, that's all for today.

 Take care.

Green and Two Other Colours

Good morning.  This is my DT card for International Art And Soul where the theme is to use green and two other colours.

My Card

Recipe

5"x7" base card - Rymans card stock

silver and green card - from stash

Christmas gift boxes - recycled

I just loved these boxes which were on a commercial  Christmas card I received this past Christmas.  In fact they were so great I just had to reuse them ASAP in case I put them away in a safe place never to be seen again ... lol. 😀😁😄.  I just added a peel off in the corner.  Hands up - how many of us have loads of peel offs in a drawer?

Why not pop across to the blog and see what my DT sisters have come up with?

I'm off to our WI Federation Annual Meeting this morning so I will check out your blogs when I get home.  The main speaker is Simon King the wild life photographer so that should be interesting.

Take care.
