Scrap Pieces - Merry Christmas card

 Hello and welcome to my blog, today I would like to share with you a Christmas card I've made using up all those scrap pieces and free Christmas papers from magazines. This type of card is so quick and simple to make and it is great for using up all those left over pieces.


I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

And here is my card, all details and products used can be found below:


  • To create this card I have started with a white 7''x7'' base card. I have attached a dark green mat layer and a patterned paper layer to the front of the base card with wet glue.
  • Next I have taken a piece of red mirror card and cut all my scrap papers and Gold mirror card into 1 inch strips. I have then assembled them onto the red mirror card in a random pattern using wet glue and added to a white mat layer.
  • I have die cut a Merry Christmas sentiment from the gold mirror card and attached to a piece of large red ribbon with some wet glue. 
  • I attached the ribbon to the patterned paper piece then attached the patterned paper piece to the front panel of my base card using foam pads.
Products used:
  • Dark green cardstock from Crafters Companion
  • Gold mirror card from Crafters Companion 
  • Patterned paper pieces all free from a magazine 
  • Merry Christmas sentiment from Sue Wilson
  • Red ribbon from Amazon UK

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, if you like this card please feel free to follow or leave a comment. I will be posting frequent handmade card inspiration. Until next time, have a great day.
