My heart doesn't want to let go of Christmas cards just yet...so I made one more today, the last day of 2010.
As a holiday gift, we received a package of milk chocolates from England. Each small bar was wrapped with a different vintage Christmas image, such as the one above. I carefully removed the wrappers before doling them out to my family. Here, I matted it on a piece of black cardstock for stability and definition. The gold snowflakes and swirls are joined on one large acetate die-cut from K & Company's Brenda Walton collection. The gold ribbon is repurposed after receiving it on a gift this year. What a quick, easy card!
I feel I could keep going with the holiday cards for a little while longer, but I'm sure many folks are just plain old tired of them. So while I can't promise this is the last Christmas card for me this winter, it definitely is for this year. :)
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Such a yummy idea to re-purpose those chocolate wrappers!! I think as long as there is snow on the ground or in the forecast Christmas cards can still be made ;) Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteWay to re-purpose! As a former science teacher, I love that you are re-using! Woo hoo! And what a fabulous card, too! I love the way that you cut the acetate so that it extended onto the ribbon. Gorgeous!
