Hello Dear Friends!
It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!
Here's today's theme:
CHRISTMAS WRAPPINGS
(Christmas bows, ribbons, tags, packages,
xmas designer paper counts as xmas wrapping paper
just have fun with it)
(Christmas bows, ribbons, tags, packages,

and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .
Today, I chose to use actual Christmas Wrapping Paper for my card. I had several different sheets that came in the mail from companies we make contributions to so thought 'why not!' lol.
Here is my card . . .
(It looks like 2 different colors but it's the difference in the light over top of my cutting station and my light box ... the color is actually more green.)
By cutting a couple strips of red card stock from my scrap pile, I was able to create my package 'ribbon' wrapping. Then I created a bow using an old (no longer in business) Cheery Lynn 'pretty pretty bow' die. My tag is the smallest die in the Sue Wilson 'Frames & Tags - Pierced Tags' (CED4305) set.
The sentiment came from an old Simple Stores 'Jingle All the Way' stamp set.
A few green & red Nuvo Crystal Drops and this card is ready to mail.

So very creative to use real paper for your card, and it does make a beautiful card with the 'ribbon' and 'bow'!!
ReplyDeleteThis is darling! I love that you used real wrapping paper too. What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteLoving that Gingerbread wrapping paper--great idea to use it on your pretty little card (thinking, why didn't I think of that?!?! lol) Love that fab ribbon and bow too. I use my CL products all of the time, love them!
ReplyDeleteNext year I'm going to get a big bow die and make a whole bunch of my Christmas cards like this. It's so cute and festive and quick! Cool to use real wrapping paper, too. Inspiration abounds here!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up real wrapping paper. This was a great challenge for that I loved the festive look and also the sweetness of the gingerbreads. Happy Holidays
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas card design! Everything is just so cheery and happy here, I often use wrapping paper for my projects Sis, sending love ♥♥
ReplyDeleteAdorable and great idea to use actual wrapping paper for your card. I love gingerbread designs this time of year and have used that bow die too. It was a free gift when I was at CHA back in the day. I really miss CL products. This sweet card is a holiday delight.
ReplyDeletesuch fun papers, does make for a great wrapping paper, great tag and pretty bow to top it off!
ReplyDeleteWell this is just fabulous!! That patterned paper is perfect for the design, and that bow just couldn't be any more perfect. How stinkin' sweet, and great take on the challenge.
