Working through the old stash

This year has been about trying to work through old stash and making use of it and trying my hardest not to buy new stash… let’s ignore the massive amount of stash I actually bought in the summer!

These two cards were half made about 12 months ago and have been on the pile of things I wanted to get used up so here you go … two festive cards!

Both are made from magazine kit papers and then some ribbons scraps from the stash and the bottom one with an added little reindeer wooden embellishment.

I suppose the other element that makes them go well together is the embossed background. I love this embossing folder as it provides a great bit of texture for any type of card and also means I don’t even have to add a sentiment if I don’t want as it says the sentiment onto it!

The design of the cards were originally from a sheet load of cards template but goodness knows which one now as it is so long since I cut the paper up and started assembling them! but if you check out cards by Kendra I am sure you will find some great templates to use.

Happy crafting!
