Here is the card I am going to reuse from my Christmas stash of saved one of shop bought cards but could see a use for!
Here I am enlarging the length of my die which was not long enough for this card. Years ago I saw this on Ikki's Cuttlebug cupboard blog and have used it on dies and embossing folders..
Click here is her wonderful post. I have one with embossing folders.
Recipe for card is the Hollies and Ribbons embossing folder some the new ribbon from Ribbon Girl on last weeks desk, and the Square spellbinders shown.
I have made two more since this one, I will photo and blog!
I am really enjoying it as it makes you think outside the square! {Oops sorry for bad pun}! plus not throwing things which are so lovely!

Linking up with Di's snippets challenge (except for the ribbon everything is snippets), also want to share with CraftyHazel Christmas Challenge.

That is such an improvement on the original card and looks very expensive. A very worthy snippets card. See you in the playground but watch out for that slide - it is brilliant. Have a good week, Shaz. xx Maggie
NIce work. I love reusing cards
Beautiful card! It makes me wish I hadn't thrown the cards we received into the trash last week. I usually keep them thinking I'll find a use for them and end up throwing them away in the summer. This year I was determined not to add to the clutter. Now I wish I had kept them. :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
Fabulous remake Shaz - and an improvement on an already nice card - I love the new result even more!
Bring your snowboots if you want to stay and play here!!
Hugs, Di xx
This is super, Shaz - thanks for entering it into my CHNC challenge extra for January - hope to see you again soon (new challenge this morning on my CHNC blog here would be just right for this, so please enter it there too x

Love this technique, and I"m going to re-view this on the link. You turned a pretty card into a super beautiful one with your treatment of it. Have a great day, stay cool if it is terribly hot where you are. And hope you are still healing very well. Hugs
Gorgeous card! Thank you for link to extend the die, will give it a go. Take care xx
Great card Shaz and sooooo professional! Thanks for the tutorial links as well! I will have a rummage and see what I can do with some shop-bought cards now! Is there really such a word as uocycle or is it an Oz special? Stay cool....we are wrapped up warm!!!!!!
Just right for my CHNC challenge 108 - thanks for linking x

Hi Shaz,
What a wonderful idea, I am going to have a go at going the extension.
Isn't is amazing what we are able to learn from one another through the internet.
Enjoy your week

Just tried this idea out using my bigshot and a sizzix frame. Works a treat. My frame instead of just 2 scallops now has 3. Brilliant. I will be using this idea a lot. Thanks so much for the tip. Hugs Mrs A.
What a great idea...I am going to try this out as I am oftem stymied by the lack of a matching sentiment frame etc.
This opens a whole new world of possibilities!
Your card looks great and so fun to upcycle and not waste!
