This is what I have pulled out to use today.
A plain white card, Paper 'Popcorn the Bear' free with Crafters companion magazine.
Silver embossing powder. VersaMarker pen, blue gems
and my secret ingredient the waste bits from die cuts/punches that I have been collecting up.
This is the card I made.
All those little waste pieces made up the snowflake shapes which I then embossed before adhering to the card front. To prove that well known scientific fact, all the snowflakes are different!
I also used my Britannia word dies for the sentiment.

Now aren't you the crafty gal. You really did make the best out of the left overs. Isn't it fun to create something beautiful from something that would just end up in the bin? Thanks for commenting on the Poppystamps blog page. I do see it. I love using left over store bought Christmas cards. The handmade ones I hang on to forever!
Lovely and very clever use of bits and snippets. I don't have any die-cut equipment however I can see it would work with punches too. Creative Bliss Dear...
Great idea! You must have been saving them for a while to get such pretty snowflakes from them! Smart girl, you!
I just tonight was thinking of saving some hot pick pretty pits of cast off from a fancy die...maybe I need to pull them out of the bin now!
