A Truly Recycled Christmas Card

This card is a truly recycled card, with a fun story behind it.

One of my very good friends put this tag on my Christmas gift last year. As soon as I saw it, my card making side thought "what a great start that it would be for a card". So I kept it with my Christmas card making stash. This is the card I made with the tag as the centre piece. I started with using my Cuttlebug to emboss a glossy white CS with the ornaments embossing folder. After trimming it to allow an 1/8" border it was mounted onto the blue CS and added to the A2 cardbase. The ornament tag is popped on some dimensionals and then I added the silver ribbon to finish it off.
The card itself was a great hit when we had a good giggle over the ultimate in recycling.

I have been busy with all my Christmas preparation and as I sat down this evening I realized that although I have scanned all the cards I've made I have not shared any of them here. Oops!!! The follow are 10 cards that were made at a wonderful day at a friend of mine who had 15 people over for a "Stampn' Up card making day. Oh what a fun productive day it was!

For those of you counting...I know I said we made 10 cards, but unfortunately one of them didn't scan very well. So I will have to get my camera out and see if I can capture a better image of it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As for cards that I've made since the Blitz day. This is the one that I planned to mass produce.

It is a stamp set from Stampn' Up this year, that I feel I will get a lot of use of.  I stamped the image and sentiment with Versamark and then heat embossed them both with silver detail powder.  I used the same to make the border on the piece I matted the image on. Then it all on an A2 card base.  It is a very clean and simple look but that is what I wanted.
As I mentioned I was going to mass produce this one, but unfortunately I only got 6 made. Oh, well, in my card making life that is sort of mass produced.
 

This card is one that I made using a tag that I made at make and take at my LSS.  I really like the tag, but just felt if I mounted it on a 4 x 9" dark green CS it would make a good card.  The tag itself is made mostly using Tim Holtz dies, stamps and trinkets.  It is a fairly bulky card, but as it will be had delivered that isn't really a problem.
 
 
I do have a few more cards made ready to share, I want to make sure they've been received those who are getting them, before I post them here.
