Christmas Card Throwdown ~ Technique Challenge


Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm really enjoying taking part in the Christmas Card Throwdown challenges.
This week is a technique challenge.  The technique?  Recycle!!!

Here's the card I'm entering in the challenge.


The challenge description suggested recycling packaging, buttons, ribbon, cards, paper, etc. and to state what was used.  I actually recycled the front panel of a card we received last Christmas.
Here's the card we received.
It is not a handmade card which really surprised me.  Isn't it unique?
For my recycled card, I cut off the front layer and popped it up on a mat to which I'd added stenciled gold stars.  I popped that onto a piece of gold linen card stock and then onto the card base.

I can't wait to send it next year.  Maybe to the family that sent it to us?  Do you think they'd recognize what I did?

  3. You did a awesome recycling project, Larelyn! I think that the family that sent it to you would never recognize it! Great job!!
