This week my card for the
Pixie snippets challenge really is just that - all snippets from my various bits boxes, the largest piece being the background which is a long discontinued design paper from Stampin' Up - the last piece I have of that one .Everything else was punched from scraps, including some tiny pieces from an experiment with inked embossing folder technique. I can't remember how long ago this was done but I'm sure I used most of it originally then squirrelled away this scrap which was just large enough for two one inch squares (and no I didn't keep the left overs this time!!). Once I'd decided to use those little squares it took me quite a while to come up with a way of using them but I think I got there in the end.
Background - Stampin' Up designer paper
Brown Banner - Sizzix thinlets die (Stampin' Up) Cuttlebug embossing folder
Tag - Stampin' Up Tag Top punch
Embellishments - 1" square punch and Postage punch - Stampin' Up
Butterflies - Embosslits die, Sizzix for Stampin' Up
I love this and what a great use of your snippets. My box of bits is overflowing so I really must try and use some of them up

Lovely card Val and I'm so impressed with your snippet challenge! My bag of bits is getting too big and I keep tripping over it. My craft room is basically the cupboard under my front steps ( victorian town house ) and measures 7' x 3' sloping down to the end!! I may have to off load some snippets:)

A gorgeus card Val, I love the colours and the butterflies. Maybe I should try this challenge as I have so many scraps.

This is a super card, I love the colour combo and the design. Your previously inked and embossed snippets look great on the tag.

Hi Val, what a super lovely snippety card you've made out of the beautiful browns. So many punches & dies, and it is perfect for either male or female. You used some nifty SU products in such a creative wonderful way to make a lovely card. Nice to see you in The Playground, where I've been MIA for a while. TFS & Hugs
