Snowman Gift Wrap


Here is another card for the "No Time Like the Presents" Jingle Belles challenge. Lauren and Steph have challenged us to re-purpose tags or gift wrap from Christmas 2014. I am so fortunate because in January 2014 I hit the local stores to purchase wrapping paper on clearance. I was able to pick up several rolls of gift wrap and spent next to nothing for them. When Christmas 2014 rolled around, I had plenty of beautiful new paper to use for wrapping gifts. Since I am one of those gift recipients who carefully unwraps the gift so I can save the paper,  I was able to recycle this image of the snowman.  I love that the image already had a silver border. I trimmed around it and layered it on white cardstock, then on a piece of blue cardstock that I had designed for another project (I think I stamped the blue with acrylic paint, but it was so long ago that I can't even remember what technique I used to create the blue pattern).  I finished by punching snowflakes from white cardstock and using them as a second border.

  1. I love the snowy feel of your snowman card! You definitely got good use out of bargain wrapping paper! I am so enjoying this challenge. I have at least two more cards to share.

  2. Sweet! I love snowmen, and this one looks so friendly! I really, really like the blue/silver/white, and the technique that you can't remember is very effective... :)
