MERRY CHRISTMAS

recycle giftwrap

The Christmas cards I have to show you today all have a recycled item on them.

So they are ideal for CraftyHazelnut's and Jingle bells Christmas card challenges.

The first card I made from a Christmas card, cut it out with my creative memories cutting system and mounted onto silver and attached to my circle card blank (never tried this before but will try this again with other shapes) which I also made with the cutting system.





For my next card has recycled wrapping paper and used it as backing paper,the charm and thread where also from a Christmas card.The image is from Kenny K and can be found here.





And my last card also has some of the same wrapping paper wrapped around a square of card to make it look like a present the ribbon is of a present and the merry christmas ribbon strip was the last bit left on the roll.The image is again a Kenny K download and can be found here.
