Christmas Mini Slimlines

A couple of Christmas mini slimline cards, one vertical, one horizontal, both using up little scraps or snippets that were hanging around on my desk!

I had a tiny snippet of a galaxy background that I'd made for other cards and it just fit behind the tiny reindeer  / tree die.  I cut the die out of another leftover snippet of white cs.  I stamped the sentiment in grey so as not to look stronger than the night galaxy sky.

The horizontal one:

There are always little snippets of background leftover after I trim a background down for a card.  Here I used both a snippet of a blue Oxide ink smooshed background and a snippet of embossed dots, and topped them off with the polar bears cut from a snippet of white cs (of which I save far too many!).

Linking up one or other of them with:
