I have a lotta scraps on my table. It's starting to be a pile, really, so it was time for me to root through them and make some cards! I placed with my Slice to create the words and the labels. I used the Falala cartridge for all of the Slice cuts. Here's card #1:

I had a piece of kraft CS stamped with the woodgrain stamp (Hero Arts) and white ink. I know woodgrain and kraft aren't your traditional Christmas colours, but I thought it would funky! The paper in the background was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and I rubbed white ink over the raised spots.

Card #2:


Here's another scrap of the woodgrain that I cut out with a label shape. Joy was inked around the edges. Ribbon is from Papertrey Ink and it's delicious!!

Card #3:


This is my favourite. I used the reverse of the cut-out and saved the pieces from the word to fill in the gap. How much easier can you get design-wise, but I'm just loving this one!!
Dare: Use a non-traditional paper/background stamp/stamp to create some holiday cards! You might be pleasantly surprised!

Post a comment if you take my dare! I'd love to get some more non-traditional inspiration!
