I made a set of 8 cards that I described in a previous post here and still had some leftover papers and card stock, so I used them to make another Christmas card. I had cut and scored the card base incorrectly, but I decided to try a different card design so that I could use the bits and pieces.
(The card front is 1/2" smaller than the back of the card.)
I used some of the Holly Jolly Doodlebug paper on the green card base, by attaching a panel to the front and a thin strip to the inside of the card base.

The main focal image was created with a stamp from Holiday Tags 2010, mounted onto a red scalloped circle from Limitless Layers and then a green doily cut from one of the dies: Doily Details. Red rhinestones on the holly berries and the Pure Poppy Baker's Twine add some finishing details.
The sentiment panel was created with the Label Basics angled die and stamp and the sentiment from Holiday Tags 2010. Finally, I stamped the postage image from the Holiday Tags set.
Red Stickles were added to the holly berries in the center of the postage image and along the bottom strip of the designer paper.

The inside of the card uses a sentiment from a Stamping'Up set; the holly image, from Tiny Treats: Christmas was coloured with red and green markers.

Great idea to use up those scraps, Karen and I love how this turned out. Beautiful finishing on the inside too :)
Talk about holly heaven! Fabulous! I love using up scraps too. But it seems a bottomless task for me. Sigh. I must get back on the bandwagon. Love the limitless layers here too. Gorgeous card.
Super pretty and very festive Karen...
