CHNC challenge 578 for 22 January 2022 - no sentiment

 

Merry Christmas!!


A new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!


Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge
with the theme 'Upcycle or use something old'.

Do pop over and see the fabulous inspiration from my teamies!

Today I have made a pair of cards using a die that was in my Christmas stocking.


Recipe:
  1. In the first card I used a blue glossy card blank.
  2. I added a die cut in black.

  1. In the second card I folded grey card into three and die cut the die from the centre portion.
  2. I added a piece of Gelli pull background behind this and folded to make a card.


Happy Crafting!
