Just a little card to share with you today. I will be entering it into the following Challenges; Simon Says Monday, Upcycle, Double D, Red And White, and Dies R Us, Use Red And Dies.
I am also posting this at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, where you can leave a card in a gallery for the Cox Family. You may read about their story HERE. This is not a Challenge but just a little Gallery to express care and concern. Please participate, you know what a generous lot we as card makers are!
I grabbed this Rice Pilaf box out of our recycling bin, knew I could make some chipboard die cuts out of it.
I used the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps products; Girlfriend Stamps and Friendly Flowers Dies, and Casual Comfort Stamps. Designer Paper is Crimson from American Crafts.
I just made a bunch of die cut flower pieces and then stamped and assembled. Quite fun to make a garden appear out of the recycling bin! I stamped the words onto a flower die in Real Red ink, love how it fits right in.
Thanks so much for stopping by. The days are getting longer, it is still bright at 5:30 here....YAY!
Enjoy~~
FANTASTIC!!! Great upcycling idea and it looks fabulous! Thanks so much for playing in our ‘RED’ challenge at Dies R Us and our 'RED & WHITE' challenge at Double D! Please come back again soon!

Now this is an idea that I can use. When you are away from you usual supplies, you have to think out of the box. lol Great idea to use the cardboard that you have and you made a great Red and White card to fit this challenge beautifully. You are so creative and right brained.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card design and no one would know it was made from a Rice Pilaf box. I love the red and white too!
