Con due background ottenuti dalle strisce ho subito fatto due card e ne approfitto per partecipare al I Love Math Challenge#10 di Milka ;) (righe o strisce + Estate)
Ho preso dei pezzi di cartone recuperato da scatole della pasta, della pizza ecc... li ho ricoperti di biadesivo; ho diviso tutte le mie strisce per colore, ne ho scelte alcune e le ho fatte aderire sui cartoncini.
Non ho badato alla precisione e non ho misurato nulla, perciò i miei background non sono perfetti, ma non importa. :D Mi sono divertita e ho usato un bel po' di avanzi!! :D
Le strisce rimaste le ho organizzate per colore dentro delle buste di plastica, a cui ho pinzato un pezzo di cartoncino colorato così in futuro troverò subito quello che mi serve! La carta patterned "troppo" multicolore ha una busta a parte ;)
Siccome le strisce di carta erano di diverso spessore (e in alcuni casi avevano anche lunghezze diverse), i background hanno un po' di texture... Ho usato anche strisce ondulate, avanzate dal taglio di punches per bordi. Insomma, ho fatto un pot-pourri! :D LOL Inoltre, il cartoncino pesante che ho usato come base le strisce ha creato dei "pannelli" molto consistenti, perfetti da incollare su card vuote.
Eccoli qui i miei patchwork di strisce avanzate, tutti assieme:
Per le due card che avete visto all'inizio del post ho usato quello nei toni del giallo e uno dei due azzurri (quello al centro nella foto qui sopra). Eccole nei dettagli:- Card con background nei toni del giallo
Il sentiment è un timbro digitale LOTV. La prima striscia a sinistra è washi tape. Ho aggiunto qualche dettaglio con i NuvoDrops e infine ho incollato il pannello su un cartoncino fuxia piegato a metà per dare contrasto.
- Card con background azzurro:
Siccome non ho usato timbri, con questo lavoro partecipo al Challenge #81 di UnstampaBelles (Fancy frame or border).
Con questa card partecipo inoltre al TIME OUT Challenge #114
I gabbiani sono brand Memory Box (2) e PoppyStamp(1). Le alghe, le stelle marine e il pesce (su cui ho messo del Wink of Stella, anche se non si vede) fanno parte di un set di fustelle in regalo con una rivista; l'ancora è brand Kesi'Arti. Le forme sono colorate con i Distress Inks. Ho incollato il pannello su un cartoncino bianco piegato a metà.
Con queste cards vorrei partecipare ai seguenti challenge:

What a great use of your snippets, your cards are beautiful. Great way of storing your leftover snippets too. xx
RispondiEliminaWow, my friend, these cards are AMAZING! I love both of them! Beautiful use of your scraps / snippets / thin strips of paper! I love the patterns you created on these two cards, and all the rest that you show in the photo! I really like how you used some scalloped pieces too! I love the colour combo on the yellow/pink card - beautiful butterfly and floral heart! But my favourite is the blue card with the ocean theme! The sailboat bookmark is gorgeous and I think the strips of paper are like waves in the background! I really like the ocean-themed die-cuts and borders - this card is brilliant! Thank you so much for the shout-out and I'm happy I could inspire you! I want to make more of these cards now!
RispondiEliminaThey are both so stunning!! Wow!! I love how you've used the paper snippets!! The designs and colors are fabulous on each one!! Gorgeous cards, my friend!! I love them!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

I love that you save pizza and pasta boxes that would ordinarily be tossed in the trash and make beautiful things with them! These cards are both simply amazing knowing how you created them! I think the butterfly card is stunning with all the added pearl drops and pretty pink colors, but the nautical card is just dreamy and so serene with all of the sea-worthy elements you added to it! You've done a great job on both cards and I'm impressed with what you've created here :)
RispondiEliminaAmazing Alice, Queen of snippets and scrap useage, love your work use of the strips turned out amazing, love it all. I so love your nautical theme it is so peaceful and admirable...you are one heck of a crafter...hugs.xx
RispondiEliminaBuon giorno Alice,
RispondiEliminaÈ sempre bello riutilizzare e fare cose così belle con loro? E che bel lavoro hai fatto qui, una bellissima scena dell'Oceano che sembra così pacifica e poi la bellissima Butterfly con tutti i colori estivi freschi e luminosi.
Avere una buona settimana.

WOW! What fantastic use of your scrap strips of papers Alice. Just loved seeing all those panels made up in different colours ready to use. Both cards are wonderful but I do like the blue one (my favourite colour :)), it's so calm and lovely. Fabulous use of the bookmark and beautifully embellished. Love the colour palette you've used for floral card. The butterfly heart and vine look especially lovely, such a wonderful card design. Hopefully you've reduced your binder contents a little with these two beauties. Debra x
RispondiEliminaStupendo... voglio provarci!!!
RispondiEliminaGreat work with those panels. Great idea a perfect way to use up some of those scrap papers. I really like the blue card.
RispondiEliminaThank you for sharing your talent with us here at CRAFTY CATZ. Best of luck! Nick
Two wonderful cards Alice. What a great idea with the strips and the storage of them. They make fabulous backgrounds. Love the effect. You are the recycling queen! Have a fun crafting week.
RispondiEliminaHugs Flo x
Hello Alice, both of your cards are fabulous, and what a great idea to use the strips of waste to make backgrounds, very clever. Your designs are beautiful, Kate x
RispondiEliminaYou made beautiful backgrounds with your paper strips! They are all so pretty and your finished cards are lovely, too!
RispondiEliminaTwo fabulous cards, you have created beautiful backgrounds with your scraps.

Both of these cards are stunning, and I always enjoy reading about your recycle efforts and how you've used your organizational skills too! Love BOTH of the backgrounds (I like quilts, so the strippy one made me think of a quilt of course). I think both are quite 'artsy', and the idea to use the nautical themed bookmark really showcases the lovely blues on that card. The yellow & pink strip one, feels like sunshine to me, and of course the way you've added special embellishments to each card, really created a wonderful finished effect too. Good for you at using up some of your 'snippets' in such a creative fashion! TFS & Hugs
RispondiEliminaThese are gorgeous, love how you used the scraps and wonderful layouts.

Alice, I agree with Annie - we should be bowing to the queen of Snippets! Fabulous organisation and great backgrounds. Love the blue card and the pretty top on the yacht image. Thanks for taking up this challenge with us again at Unstampabelles. Hope to see you back again for another challenge!
RispondiEliminaYour card is so cool - such great use of scraps ! Great use of dies too! Thank you so much for playing along with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge! /Karin
RispondiEliminaLooking forward to seeing you make a sketch card. ☻ ♥
RispondiEliminaSuper layer-y stripes on both cards ... and a fabulous ocean image ... so cool and fresh! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Anita :)

Wow you are a,amazing at organising your scraps! And put them to such good use. What a fabulous background they make for your Time Out Card. I love the scene you have created and wonderful detail added. Thanks for joining us at Time out
RispondiEliminaI never keep strips this thin, but I see know they can be put to use too. The designs are awesome, a card can’t be more scraps and bits and bobs than this. The pink one is feminine and sweet, but my favorite is the blue one, I love nautical designs, they’re perfect for both men and women, I love that about a card. Great work!
RispondiEliminaWhat amazing cards you have created here with those snippets. I so love the first one and its colours and elements. The second one is so fresh and screams summer. Thank for sharing at Crafting with Dragonflies.
RispondiEliminaThanks for joining us at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges for our latest challenge. {Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenges}Good luck and join us again soon. Hugs, Kathy
RispondiEliminaGreat use of your scraps. Thanks for sharing with us at Unstampabelles.
RispondiEliminaBellissima la card rosa!!!! Davvero stupenda e poi è riciclosa, quindi doppiamente bella!!! ^___^
RispondiEliminaIo ho fatto una cosa simile tempo fa ma prendendo i rimasugli così com'erano e abbinando i colori. Questa 'tecnica'? si chiama serendipity.
Non si butta nulla!!!!
Kissssssssssssssssssssssssss
Lovely cards. Thank you for joining the challenge at Crafting with Dragonflies. Hope to see you again next time.
RispondiEliminaWOW!!! Your both cards are GORGEOUS!! Love them and love how you used scrap papers. :o) Thank you so much for playing and supporting I Love Math Challenge. xx
