Due cards dell'ultimo minuto fatte con una fustella presa da Action (un nuovo market che ha aperto nella mia città) e alcuni elementi di riciclo.
La fustella è questa sotto; è molto semplice ma nel mio stash mancava qualcosa del genere e costava solo 2 €, quindi l'ho presa senza pensarci troppo. Dopo averla usata posso dire che taglia bene, ma le misure non sono per nulla precise: non solo i tre rettangoli non sono uguali, ma sono anche storti!... 😞
Ho tagliato 3 cartoncini diversi (un cartoncino kraft embossato con una EF Sizzix effetto legno, un avanzo di cartoncino bianco che tempo addietro avevo colorato di verde con gli Oxides, e un cartoncino rosso riciclato dal retro di una cartolina commerciale), lasciando un bordo intorno, in modo da avere 9 rettangoli, 3 frames sottili ottenuti dal taglio dei rettangoli e 3 frames esterni. Ho fatto solo due cards, la terza non l'ho finita.Per questa card ho usato la parte esterna verde, i rettangoli effetto legno e il frame rosso, tre stelline tagliate dal cartoncino kraft di una confezione con un punch Wiler che fa anche la goffratura, due ornamenti di cartoncino robusto che avevo in una scatola (non ricordo la provenienza) su cui ho incollato due simpatici puffy stickers con i gatti, avuti da Kitty (Grazie!). Ho attaccato gli ornamenti con lo spago da cucina in modo che possano dondolare. Il sentiment l'ho preso nel mio organizer (ed è davvero troppo grande... ma nella fretta non ci ho fatto caso 😔).
Per l'altra card ho usato il frame embossato effetto legno, la cornice verde dei rettangoli e i rettangoli rossi. Ho aggiunto un sentiment fustellato (brand La Coppia Creativa), tre "palline a girandola" (vedi qui) ottenute da avanzi di carta specchio e carta rossa e in alto una stellina sticker olografica; ho disegnato i "nastri" con un pennarello oro.

beautiful cards Alice....gr karin
These rectangles being uneven and croaked would have really upset me. I like everything to be even and precise, shame really because it rarely is! You wouldn't know it by looking at your cards though. They look great. Love the cat baubles xx
Great recycling and you managed to disguise the rectangles being crooked,love the puffy cat stickers.

What a wonderful pair of Christmas cards, so beautiful! Thank you for joining the Craftlandia Challenge!
What a great pair of last minute cards. The die doesn't look crooked and you did a great job with it in making these backgrounds. The kitty stickers look incredibly cute on the star and medallion and the golden stars are a great addition, but those pinwheel flowers on the next card just fascinate me in the way you created them in different sizes and colors! Very festive and so much fun on your card! Wishing you and yours all the very best of health and happiness in the coming new year. May it be your best!! Big hugs just for you :)
Come sempre esperto nel riciclo di Alice e di altri graziosi abbellimenti di carta. Ottimi anche i nuovi acquisti, potrebbero essere premi d'occasione, le fustelle sono così costose adesso.
Spero che tu abbia passato un buon Natale e ti auguro un felice e brillante 2024.

Two cute cards. Awesome deal on the die and put to great use. The colour palettes with the wood green make them masculine appropriate, too.
Happy new year and best wishes for the year ahead. 🎉🥂🍾
Hi Alice love how you have used your new die both cards look fabulous and full of lovely detail super makes
hugs

Alice, what an adorable Christmas card! I love all the layering, and your use of dies. Those pinwheels are so pretty,,, thank you for sharing the link!! Happy New Year from all of us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
I love your cards, It makes me smile looking at it! It is really pretty! Thank you for entering the Word Art Wednesday Challenge. Ginny M, DT
Ohhhh pues a mi me parecen dos tarjetas adorables, no pueden ser mas lindas.
Esos rectángulos si los esperabas de un modo y han salido de otro pues claro siempre resulta molesto, pero seguro que puedes idear algo con la forma que tienen y que te queda relindo.
La tarjeta de las estrellas me tiene cautivada, jeje, el deseo quiza es mas grande de lo que querías pero no queda nada mal, es como si la estrella de abajo se balanceara y en el momento de la foto lo cubriera un poquito jeje.
Y las bolas molinete....me chiflan jajaja, quiero aprender a hacerlas :P
Muchas gracias por unirte al reto Craftlandia!!!
Feliz año 2024!!!!
Due graziosi biglietti realizzati con elementi riciclati. Mi piace l'aspetto della tua nuova fustella: non puoi vedere che i rettangoli non sono uniformi!
Ti auguro un anno felice, sano e creativo.
Tutte le tue visite al mio blog sono apprezzate.
Un abbraccio, Sarnxxx
A beautifully designed card Alice, I love the colour pallet and all the elements you've used to create it.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year, Kate x
Buen reciclado que has hecho. Te quedaron preciosas. Feliz entrada de año.

Thanks for commenting and playing along with our Word Art Wednesday Blog Hop! Happy New Year!
I can't see the crookedness in the die at all Alice and the designs are amazing. Double points for recycling too! Happy new year! Vicky x
This is adorable, Alice. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful art with us and for hopping along in our Annual Blog Hop at Word Art Wednesday. I'm so very grateful for you.

Happy New Year Alice! Hope its a wonderfully creative year for us all! Your cards are fabulous - that die is so versatile and great for backgrounds, though the second card, it looks more like a window! You are so talented!
Big hugs from Tasmania! xxxx
I love those dangling ornaments over the wood planks! This is such a cute card. Thank you for playing with us at Double Trouble :)
Beautiful design and such a fabulous card.. love the whole concept xx
Those dies even though they may be uneven you did an excellent job of hiding the problem with your placement of images and sentiment... love your cards. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.
Both cards turned out really nice and I especially like that you have used recycled elements as well. The one with the wood grain panels, drawn ribbon and ornaments has a beautiful, traditional Christmas fell, and the other one is cute with the cat face. I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and best wishes for 2024!
Your cards are wonderful. I especially like the one with the two cute animals. Very original designs and clever layouts. Thank you for sharing at Double Trouble Challenge #155. - Melanie R.
its super cute card!
Thank you for playing at SUYP/Cats only challenge
Hope to see you again! Good luck!

Geniales!!! Una gran idea usando ese die cut y tres papeles diferentes. Las dos tarjetas terminadas han quedado preciosas. Me encantaron esas esferas brillantes tan originales!
Feliz Año Nuevo, lo mejor en este 2024! Besitos...
Two unique cards, Alice, with beautiful layout and big sentiments. I especially love the Sizzix flower. Thank you so much for joining Craftlandia Challenge, my friend. Good luck in the draw and Happy New Year!
Beautiful recycling, my friend! Of course, my favourite is the one with the puffy kitty stickers, so cute! I like your wood-grain embossed die-cuts too. What a shame about the die not cutting correctly, but you've managed to make good use of it here. I have heard of the Action store from YouTubers in Europe and maybe even Australia, so I am happy that you now have one in Italy. I love your little folded ornaments on the other card, so pretty! Gorgeous work as always, my friend, such a joy to see what you made! Sending my best wishes for a joyful day!
