*Scrap 'n Stamp Canada Random Acts of Cardness*

Happy Monday everyone.  For one of my Random Acts of Cardness prompts for December, I chose the word "stripes" because I just LOVE playing with stripes.  I know that this photo is hard on the eyes, but the card looks awesome in real life, at least to me!

When cutting the die for this card, I decided to not waste anything, so you actually get two cards for the price of one today.

Once again, I've gone with the inlaid die cut idea for my cards.

For this first card, I cut the My Favorite Things Merry & Bright out of the striped patterned paper and then again fro a coordinating patterned paper.  I was sure to keep all of the little bits I would throw out if I wasn't doing the inlaid idea as I'd need them for this card.  I put some Be Creative Tape behind the area I cut out and carefully put all of the blue pieces in to the holes and then added the bits and bobs from the striped paper.  I put it on some red cardstock and trimmed it with my Perfect Layers tool

And then, like I said, I made a second card instead of wasting the patterned paper that I used

No patterned paper was wasted in the making of these two cards....
