I did a bit of a challenge for myself where I pulled out scraps of printed paper, tags and dies to put together for a collage style card. This was totally FUN and unexpected!!
What I love most about a card like this is the mix of textures between the Glimmer White cardstock, the Tim Holtz Woodlands Tree set on Linen to the shiny Mirrored Stars.
I filmed a video of how this card came together, you can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

One of the best collage cards I’ve seen in a while.The elements are just perfect.
I love the look of this collage card. What a great way to use scraps and create an incredible card! I have the tree die somewhere….I wish I knew where it is hiding. I’d like to use it!
I love this almost collage style of card you made. It is beautiful with so many wonderful elements to look at on your creation! The color combination is so peaceful and relaxing for Christmas.

Wow. So much going on in one little card. Very fun.
You are right Shari unexpected but great card came from the stuff on your desk!
What a phenomenal card so many pieces to ooh and aah over, all just as good as the other. The plaid button and the red small stripe held my attention the most. Guess “they” are right when it’s said your eye is drawn to the color red.
I love the Believe die, with the stamps set, it gives so many possibilities. And your card is one of the beautiful possibilities !!!
What a great way to use up the scraps from your desk! Amazing.
Love this….one of the best designs I have seen in a long time that I want to mimic.
Can’t believe this card was made from scraps. It is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing
Your cards are always an inspiration and I love that you shared a video showing how this card came to be. I, too, love the added shine of the stars; very pretty card, Shari.
Awesome collage card! I love all the layers, color and texture — especially the linen! Thanks for the inspiration!
