you're not sick of Christmas cards.
Today I'm playing at the Jingle Belles Challenge
NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENTS
a punny way of saying use some of that Christmas wrapping paper.
Fortunately the wrapping paper was still out and the bit of leftover
Snowman paper was perfect for a card. It even had lines to help cut him out.
I added the snowman to a snippet of white and found a little frame
that was also a leftover.
I thought he would like some snow so I used my favorite snowy embossing folder.
For a bit of contrast, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of bright blue
and heat embossed it.
Quick and fun!
also adding to
since I have a few snippets here.
and
with my leftover Christmas wrapping paper.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeletehe is so cute Bonnie and you have framed him admirably in that stitched frame. I like the contrast with the pop of blue for the sentiment. a great classy looking card.xx
ReplyDeleteSo Cute -- and simple.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sick of Christmas cards because I'm still making them, Bonnie. That snowman is a cutie and I think you should send him to Just Us Girls where the word is "Leftovers".
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas cards and this is adorable. It's a great way to use up snippets of wrapping paper and it made a cute card. I'm trying to catch up commenting and I love both the bokeh card and that gorgeous silver star.
ReplyDeleteThat paper couldn’’t be more perfect for a card, Bonnie! How cute this is. I’m not sick of Christmas cards either. I don’t think that will ever happen.
ReplyDeleteHe's perfect and framed out so cute! Love this!!!

So cute. The snowman made a darling card and the frame is perfect for him. The sentiment on blue brings out the blue in the paper. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Now I know you buy the BEST wrapping paper, Bon-Bon! He is super cute with those rosy cheeks and your snowy e/f! Brrr! Have a sensational Sunday!! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, Bonnie! The sentiment in bright blue stands out and matches the background perfectly. Love the embossed snowy background. You should enter this in the Snippets Playground and Just Us Girls Leftovers challenges. xx
ReplyDeleteQuick and fun - now that's a wrap!

Great use of that paper and what a cute snowman he is. Love the texture from the snow and the contrast of the blue strip for the sentiment x
ReplyDeleteOm My, Bonnie...beautiful and adorable wrapping paper snowman with the stitched frame. I love how you stamped the sentiment in blue and your dry embossed snow. TFS your clever creative card. Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I will have to go have a look at my wrapping papers! I love, love, love this sweet card Bonnie! That snowman is just so dear, love the colors in him as well. The snowy background is perfect for him and i love the sentiment on the blue, it just makes the snowman pop even more if that is possible. Way too cute! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ADORABLE Bonnie! I never would have known it was wrapping paper! Cute, CUTE card my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable, Bonnie! Great way of upcycling the Christmas wrapping paper. The bright red and blue pop against the white background. I love the popped up stitched frame and the dry embossed falling snow. The Pacific Point sentiment strip looks very refreshing and the shade of blue matches the background of the snowman. Thanks for sharing, my friend!

This is adorable! Great use of the leftover wrapping paper and frame. Love the embossed background you paired with it. Thanks for playing along with us at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteClever idea for using wrapping paper! And those special "Bonnie touches" -- snow EF, stitched squares dies and picking up the blue with the sentiment b'grd. I made some cards for next year a few days ago while I was in the mood and had the supplies out. Got behind this year and lesson learned -- not happening again!
ReplyDeleteooooooooooooh YES, that is most definitely a save-worthy snowman, just WAY too cute to toss. you've made him into an extraordinarily lovely card, as well! so happy you could join us as a Wrap Star at JINGLE BELLES! ♥
ReplyDeleteYour paper made for a great card - that snowman is adorable. Thanks for joining in at JUGS.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, your snowman is so cute and cut from wrapping paper - well done Bonnie, I love your card, its bright and cheerful and it's amazing what we can find in our 'leftovers'
ReplyDeleteLove your adorable snowman! So cute and the colors are perfect!!! Thanks for linking up at JUGS!
ReplyDeleteThat snowman is adorable and I love how you framed him! My leftover bit was patterned paper, too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, this is lovely. I've recently opened a Christmas card making challenge, so if year round Christmas cards are your thing, why not come take a look, Jo x (Christmas Kickstart Challenge)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card Bonnie and very clever to use a snippet of wrapping paper! Fabulous result.

He's a top quality wrapping paper snowman Bonnie, so bright and a really handsome one..lol. I love the stitched square frame and the falling snow embossing in the background looks great too. x
ReplyDeleteADORABLE, such a happy snowman. Love this rich vibrant colours, wow, I'm in love with this guy :D
ReplyDeleteRepeating the blue strip for the sentiment just gives this gorgeous piece so much balance. Like I said ADORABLE! xx
You sure have given that cute snowman a classy bit of up Cycling! Lovely colours and your sentiment is a perfect match xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how you used this paper. I have the impression that the designer has created it exactly for this purpose :-) Perfect card, I love it!
