Hullo there everyone!
Well, here is some more of my up-cycling of cards. I think this post takes the cake for making the most of a used Christmas card!!

Great up cycling Shaz, I always think re-cycling always gives a great sense of achievement and purpose.

Shaz, What a wonder idea to upcycle. I absolutely love all three cards. I also loved the one you start with. These precious bears just scream Christmas to me. You did a a tremendous job here. I don't think I've seen the embossing folder used on your first card, but I really like it.
I always save my cards from year to year, but I usually just cut out the entire front and use it on a package or a bag, but I never thought of deconstructing it this way. Thanks for a fun idea. Enjoy your week.
Great use of upcycling, Shaz - you've been busy - thanks for entering both of my CHNC challenges - hope to see you again soon. x
Fabulous cards,
love all
hugs Tamara

Super use of one card = many cards. Did you manage to use the sentiment and the little hearts also. Hugs Mrs a.
Wonderful cards, my friend! I like to you the same thing with cards that I have received :) Thanks for sharing - your cards are always fabulous!
Love and hugs!
Shaz
What a super bunch of cards from the one. I love recycling old cards and your idea has given me some more ideas. I will need to look into some dies.

I really like the way you upcycled the Christmas card. The embossing on each card is such a great touch. They are so pretty and will be sure to bring a lot of joy to those who receive them. You showcased the images so well with the die cuts. I also enjoyed reading your testimony at the top of your blog. Isn't it wonderful to know the Lord? Thanks for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday.
That worked brilliantly Shaz, upcycling is just brilliant, so much better than wasting resources. Great textural backgrounds, x
Yep, I think you do get the cake on this one. Great job to get 3 new ones out of just one recycle. I like your thinking! You did a fantastic job on this project...your recipients will love 'em! TFS
This trio of cards is adorable Shaz, great use of snippets :) Cathy x
Amazing to get three cards upcycled from one original - well done Shaz. Not only that, the results are delightful! Love that you showed just how you worked from the original.
Hugs, Di xx
Hi Shaz - fabbo cards - I actually don't get any "bought" cards from people anymore - but your idea almost makes me want to go out and buy a set so I can break them down... Mxx
