Another Ornament

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Gasp! Christmas is less than two months away!
And I don't have nearly enough cards to send.
I think you can guess what I'm going to be doing this week.

 

I used a lot of snippets on this.  The ornament base was cut from a snippet of
Metallic Confections.  The ornament top and strip the ornament hangs from
was cut from a snippet of gold foil.  The branch and sentiment strip were
cut from snippets too.

It seems to me that those snippets multiply in the bag.
The more I use, the more I seem to have!

Challenges:
Christmas Kickstart -Use Snippets
Pixie's Snippet Playground (The Champion of Snippets)
Jingle Belles - Ornament

  
 



Card Recipe
Stamps:  Sparkle & Shine (GKD)
Ink:   Encore Gold
Paper:   Neenah Natural, Metallic Confections (TH), Gold Foil
Other:  Ornaments 2 (Elizabeth Crafts), Airy Die (PB), Dainty Diamonds EF (SU)

Great Christmas card Bonnie - I too decided today I need to get my skates on and sort out Christmas cards!
Every so often I have a mass 'cleanse' of the snippet mountain - I feel guilty when I throw away but then invariably a few days later I 'Need' the bit I have chucked out! x

Gorgeous! I have this ornament and just love it but that deep metallic background for it really makes this special. Love the gold strip you added to the top too! Time to dig mine out again!

I'll only keep you a moment - someone should write a song about the beauty of purple and gold!!!
Gorgeous, Bonnie!

Don't tell me about snippets and not about cards to send. :-) It seems we are all in the same problems. :-) You did a great job with using snippets. Lilac and gold combination is fantastic. The card is awesome. Enjoy making Christmas cards. I suppose this will be your preoccupation this week.

WOW! I love how you designed this card. I love the effect you got by perforating the gold tape, it looks so ingenious. This bauble is one of my favorites and the deep purple looks really lovely

I can't believe how close Christmas is Bonnie! lol Time has gotten away from me and seems to more and more each year. I have lots to make as well, not only cards, but gifts. This card is gorgeous! I love the gold and purple, beautiful Christmas colors. The embossing, the die cutting, you pulled it all together to make this gorgeous, gorgeous card and I'm in love. Hugs, Brenda

What a beautiful purple and gold bauble and love the gold foil strip and hanger and pretty background embossing and the die cut branch which all look great, and the gold on white sentiment strip too to finish. A fabulous card Bonnie. x

Another BEAUTIFUL ornament card Bonnie and I'm loving all the bright and shimmery gold on this one! What a great way to use up those little snippets, although I'm sorry to hear they seem to keep multiplying instead of going down...but since you seem to be so good at using them in lovely cards like this one, I say just make more cards!!! Hugs. :0)

I have that ornament and haven't used it this year. It looks stunning in gold and purple, Bonnie. I don't want to depress you but I think I have all my cards made, 100 of them. And I will be making more for November and December challenges. They give me a head start on next year.

Beautiful bauble. The purple and gold is so elegant. I have the same problem with snippets… they multiply no matter what. 😂

SmilynStef said...

Cards that use snippets are always a good thing (and I agree with your multiplication assessment) ... that purple ornament is stunning. Thanks so very much for joining us at jingle belles.
