Using up my snippets mountain

 Hi there, we went away recently and I was fortunate to be able to take some crafting with me.

I decided to take some unfinished projects, and a stack of snippets, some of which were so tiny but perfect for die cutting small embellishments.

This card evolved from unused sentiments, layered poinsettias and snippets of card,

including the gold strip, and the striped one.

I don’t throw strips away, as they can always be used for something.

It's a good way of using up scraps, especially of expensive card and paper.......die cut them,  using all those little dies.....they'll come in useful one day!

Below are just a few of the snippets left over. 

I really enjoyed putting cards together on the hoof using just scraps of paper and card,

it's a great way to get the creative juices flowing.

I’m entering the 

Pixie's Snippets Playground - Challenge #412

where there's super prizes, and lots of ideas to use up those snippets !

Quick n simple (2)

 Hello again...............

just sharing another couple of quick cards using Peaceful Place DSP

This is a quarter of the treescape paper, heavily silver foiled.....

I added a die cut christmas from silver foil, and fussy cut the thinking of you....

sadly I seem to require quite a few of these each year.

Next up......using the mottled grey background paper, that's speckled with foil stars,

again just adding a sentiment.....

....to which I applied wink of stella, and a few snowflake sequins for extra sparkle

Hope your day sparkles

Quick n Simple Peaceful Place

 Hello, fancy a quick and simple card?

These couldn't be any simpler!

The Peaceful Place DSP is so beautiful it lends itself to making elegant projects.

I just cut this 12 x 12" sheet into 4, giving 6" x 6" , which can then be trimmed.

I added a banner greeting which I glued to a scrap of black and fussy cut a border.

The card blank is also black.

I added a few gems for extra sparkle.

I wish you could see this in real life.........can you spot the difference?

I just used different adhesive gems :)

Have a peaceful day

Lesley
