Christmas patchwork

Good Morning everyone

After making my previous batch of exploding insert Christmas cards i had a lot of 1&2" strips of paper left over.  I dug out my old crealies patchwork set and die cut all the paper pieces - my baby blue was ideal for all these small pieces.

6x6 white base card.  After die cutting all the papers with the patchwork layer dies i inked all the edges with vintage photo distress ink.  I cut the largest octogen die from the set from gold satin cardstock and used a purl embossing folder on it, i then added the panel to my 6x6 base card and used my guillotine to cut off the corners to turn it into an octogen. 

I added foam tape to the back of the patchwork pieces and then got arranging them.  I die cut the sentiment circle from white card and a circular frame for it from the gold satin card.  I fussy cut some holly from another paper and added glossy accents to the berries & touches of glitter glue to finish.

I managed to make 12 cards from the offcuts.  The bottom right one in the photo using a tonic sentiment die as i made a mess that needed hiding😁
