I had a little fun today creating with snippets of paper for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge! In fact, I had so much fun, I made two cards!
These were so easy! I layered a scrap of cardstock with an adhesive sheet topped with snippets cut with my paper cutter. Next, I ran it through my die cut machine with an older Top Dog Dies ornament. Not wanting to distract from the focal image, I simply embossed a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card base with an older Tim Holtz embossing folder.
And here is card number two. Same paper pad (MME), different snippets!
I see a few more of these in my future.
Too easy and pretty not to use up more bits and pieces!

Absolute perfection, Lisa!!! Beautiful combination of patterned papers on each one and that embossed background was meant to be!!! Love these!
These turned out so awesome! I love that color against the white. I just might have to case this 😀
Lisa these might have been simple to make, but girlfriend they sure pack a beautiful holiday punch!!
You know how much I love that embossing...

These are GORGEOUS! Love the pretty colors against the snowy white background!
You have done a fantastic job of mixing these papers, Lisa! Awesome ornaments and so pretty with that embossing!
Delightful cards Lisa - so pretty yet elegant at the same time - and super use of snippets!

Really fun, Lisa, what an excellent idea to use the strips cut into an ornament!

These are both perfectly sweet, Lisa! I know that embossing folder is probably an older one, but I think I need to see if I can find one. That's the perfect background for these pretty ornaments.
Both are CAS and absolutely perfect Lisa!! I love how the strips of dsp all coordinate, and the simple embossed background is FABULOUS! Beautiful cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Such lovely cards, Lisa! They are adorable! That embossing folder packs a punch with the fun papers, and that perfect tiny tag. You've inspired me!(as always)
I don't think there could be a more perfect embossing folder for that wonderful ornament. Beautiful cards.
My goodness Lisa, this is so beautiful. I love the white on white embossing and the clever snippety ornament with its adorable label. Vicky x
Wow, Lisa, your cards are just delightful! So pretty and dainty - I love that design. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart with Di and me, Jo x
Two beautiful clean and simple cards!! Love that you used snippets of paper to create your ornaments!
I agree it's fun, Lisa, and a good way to use up what was, in my case, ancient patterned. The dimension you got with those ornaments is fabulous and the embossed background perfect with them.
your cards are amazing, lisa! the ornaments are beautiful and helped you use up those scraps!
Two beautiful Christmas cards using your snippets of paper. Really lovely.
