Leftovers Served for Christmas Cards

Hello! Today I have 2 Christmas cards both using die cuts and negative space leftover from die cuts. 

The top card uses the negative leftover from white card stock that I cut with a GKD Christmas word die.  I trimmed the white panel and placed over a strip of Glimmering Gold foil that I had left from another project.  I inked the edges with a Pilot Metallic Gold Marker. Added the word Merry that I die cut with a Cheery Lynn die from the same foil. Finished with a Red Velvet card base.  

The second card uses the leftover negative from a strip of the Glimmering Gold Foil that I placed on to a card base of White Cardstock with glue.  I cut a frame from Gold Metallic CS with rectangle dies and attached to the card. Finished with the word Merry cut with Cheery Lynn die from White CS. Edged the finished card with the Pilot Metallic Gold marker.
I created 2 simple and quick cards using leftovers and scraps.

Second Day of Christmas

Hello!  I have made a second Christmas card using a stamp from a set "Twelve Days of Christmas"from Creative Stamping magazine that I got last Christmas. This one uses Two Turtledoves from the set.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black on White CS and colored with Copics.  Stamped the sentiments with Memento Lady Bug ink.  I framed the white panel with the negative part left when I cut a frame from Green CS using Spellbinders Regal Frame die. Attached the negative and some of the loose pieces left after cutting the die.  
Note: I cut the die from a panel 5.5" x 8.5" on the right side so I had the back side for my base.

Flying By Again....

Hello! or should I say Hi!  Another card with Butterflies and Rainbows that was fun to create.  I used the negative space of a butterfly die and filled it with the colors of the rainbow using Distress Inks.  I added a sentiment from Papers and Such with Stormy Sky ink.   Finished the CAS card with a Blue card base. Used Butterfly die from Cheery Lynn.
