I have to come clean, I cannot pass by a freebie...especially recycled freebies. Skips, bins, swaps, freecycle....and I am a hoarder-this does not make for a good mix!
Over the years I have amassed quite a lot of wallpaper samples. You know, in the DIY superstore you can rip bits off to take home and decide if you would like to buy it.
Now, I have always seen this as a crafting freebie and even take scissors along so that I can take some nice cleanly cut pieces.
However, I have gotten out of the habit of using them-so I have set myself a challenge to use up some (but not all-that would be unrealistic!!) over the coming weeks.
So here is my first card
This wallpaper has a gently glitter on it and I teamed it with a quote which I mounted on purple card and blue metallic card to complement the printed butterfly.
I also added some butterfly stickers (which are on acetate with a holograph background so they sort of flutter) and hey presto, a quick card from snippets that would have gone in the bin!
One down...several more to go!
I am entering this in the Snippets playground challenge
Happy crafting

Great Upcycled card!
ReplyDeleteClever girl! I've never thought of taking my own scissors for wallpaper/border samples :)
ReplyDeleteSuper card and I love how you backed the sentiment!
