For today's post, I used the Holiday Collection Framelit Dies in a new way...at least for me it is.
Rather than stamping the images from the Scentsational Season and then cutting with the framelits, I cut one of the layers using the framelits.
Doing this, makes the card look like a collage or a scene. I then backed the cutouts with scraps of Be of Good Cheer DSP. Another good way to use up those scraps and use your imagination for the cutouts.
I figure that the Candy Cane looks gourmetish (probably not a word, but it works) with the traditional red and white coming with a touch of green. The Christmas Tree is already decorated with baubles and the Gingerbread Man is sporting polka dots.
This is a great way to have fun.

Stop by and leave me a comment telling me what you do with your scraps.
Is your paper crafting wish list bigger than your bank account?
Do you live in an area where you don't have access to a stamping club?

I have ben exploring this technique too Karen. I like it and I like your Christmas Cards.
ReplyDeleteSeeing all the CHristmas appearing makes me aware that I need to get on with it very soon :)
Karen what a great idea. Love the card and I like how each 'scrap' pattern fits the die cut design. Very clever.
