- 6" x 6" square white card blank
- a lot of the front of a Christmas card I'd immediately squeaked would be good to upcycle as I opened the envelope back in December :). The lovely sparkly border was much wider, I just cut it down to suit
- red satin mirri card and black glossy card for the backings
- a silver Craftwork Cards sentiment, popped onto a punched oval of the red satin mirri card
When I took the Christmas cards down last week, I was stunned to count more than 25 beautiful hand made cards from my lovely blog friends - thank you so much! They will be kept and treasured - no upcycling of those beauties I promise :)
And this card is also for Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra, which is always anything goes.

Beautiful - glitter always works, love it!
ReplyDeleteWay to recycle these beautiful elements into a fabulous new card! It's a real sparkly beauty!!
ReplyDeleteWell, gosh, I had to read the post to find this was not one of your fab MB dies all sparkled up. This was a great salvage and made such a glitter. Great going- YOU!Gas man told me he would love to help out but that it was a bit of a reach to get 'crost the pond tonight. At least he got our pilot light. Hubs' back is outta-whack again. Must be something going round. Hope yours is much better by now, so no assist with the fence project now hear? TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Di:) lots of lovely glitter huggles Sue xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of that card! I keep saving some, but never have actually used them for another card. Maybe now I will.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Di :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous glittery card-red ad silver always look so classy together i think.

Recycling works for me Di....now where did I put mine? :-)
ReplyDeleteB***** boxes everywhere now and the thing I am looking for is always in the one at the bottom of the back pile!
Roll on the move and getting settled eh?
Hugs,

Fabulous twinkle Di! x
ReplyDeleteGreat upcycling! I used to cut my cards up with pinking shears to make next years tags! Trouble is now a lot of them have "letters" on them so upcycling to another card is the way to go as the writing would be hidden!! Thanks for sorting out my link yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering both of my CHNC challenges with your lovely card - hope to see you again soon. x
ReplyDeleteA wonderful schparkly number here and a great piece of recyckling. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarn xxx
Great job Di! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Di. I can see why you immediately earmarked the topper for recycling. And didn't you do well? So many handmade cards to inspire. I received quite a few myself, all fabulous, and I will be keeping them too. right, you've reminded me that I wanted to make a card for Hazel's challenge this week so I better do something about it while there's still time. Hugs, Elizabeth xx
ReplyDeleteSo festive and full of sparcele

That's pretty and so glittery! I noticed a lot of the store bought cards I received this year were full of glitter. I kind of wonder if people didn't pick them on purpose to give them a wee touch of a homemade feel.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you wanted to upcycle this, it is so wonderfully glittery and has made a lovely card. x
ReplyDeleteI think we all love a little sparkle! Pretty card Di.

No one does up-cycling like you Di and I love everyone that you do. This is fabulous, could be a handmade card and it probably said it on the back and that so annoys me.
ReplyDeleteI am having terrible problems with something, either my computer, or google chrome or goodness knows what, taken me 1 hour and 20 mins to comment tonight usually 30 minutes. Tearing my hair out.

Great upcyling all around Di..
ReplyDelete... Okay, okay I must get a wriggle on, and do some too!
but lacking the oomph at the mo!! too many other things on my list.. sigh! Shaz in Oz.x
Wat een leuke kaart, Diane. Mooi met die zilveren glitters. Bedankt dat je meedoet bij CHCC2.
ReplyDeleteGroetjes, Renate
