Under The Gum Leaves

 Hello friends, I am back today with my last 
The Neglected Stuff card for 2025.
Hard to believe yet another year has come to an end.

We are an anything goes challenge where you can use 
all that poor neglected stuff you have in you stash
and just for whatever reason never got around to using.

I pulled out a very old and VERY neglected Kaiser Crafts (2019)
Under The Gum Leaves ephemera and paper set.
When this came I had put together a small bin of papers, card stocks
and other things that went well with the set thinking I
would use it up and make lots of cards with it.
It has been sitting here ever since, pretty pathetic!

Other then the background paper and the die cut oval came from
this set.  The ephemera is all Australian die cuts and has some
really pretty pieces in it.  My goal is to use it all up, I have 14 card bases
so far ready to go, a good winter project I think!

The animal featured on this card is a Platypus native to Australia.
I'm not from Australia but Michigan, I think when I bought this the colors
and the cute animals appealed to me.

Come on over to The Neglected Stuff challenge blog
and have some fun with us using all YOUR neglected stuff!

This is fabulous! We both certainly have enough 'neglected stuff' to pull from don't we? Some stuff that is so awesome, how have we not 'used it up' by now? Love your design! Well done!

I feel you, Diane! This is a fast moving market and I've done my darnedest to keep up, ahem. Meanwhile... things slip to the back. I admire your resolve to use up this particular ephemera, starting with this really pretty card. Critters from all over the world should be celebrated! I'm working on a similar project which I just started yesterday. It's all too much fun!

I LOVE your card! I have this collection and recently bought it on clearance at a scrapbooking store online. I am from Australia so recognise this cute little platypus as we have them in our nearby river.
