I always need that type of card when I mail out the Rudolph Days Challenge prizes. I was doing a bit more organizing in my craft room and found just that type of card! Little Miss C and I took a class last year at the local papercrafts shop. We made 8 or 10 cards each. Most had sentiments but luckily, this design was left sentiment free.
Here is a photo of 2 cards we made from this snippets type design.

The class had us make all the cards from the same coordinating papers. So the banners on this card well suited using up the slim leftover snippets of DP. There was one piece of DP that had wee circles of design. We punched those out to add to the banner border and pop dotted some of them forward...just to give a bit of depth and for some impact.
The butterfly was die cut from a snippet of textured card and the addition of some teensy rhinestones finished it off. The white background mat was embossed with a sort of damask pattern.
I promptly allocated mine to the Rudolph Days drawer and quickly purchased the other from Little Miss C. She was delighted to have sold a card before we even left the store! I am trying to build up my stash of generic cards...so I may just make up a few of these and use up more snippets by doing so.
I am entering this card in the following challenges.

Hi Maureen,
A very Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours.
2 brill cards and what a very lovely way to use up your snippets.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Gorgeous! At the same time very simple but still a lot of details. Love that die-cut butterfly (it sure is an eye-catcher on a cas card like this)!
Hugs,
Eemeli
These two cards are wonderful! Love the idea of the banners to use scraps and the embossed background makes them pop out very well! Beautiful sweet colours, too!
These are wonderful cards Maureen and such a great design to use up those snippets xx
Love these banner cards - great way to use papers, and they're such pretty papers!

Great way of using snippets!
Well little Miss C certainly has her head screwed on the right way making a sale before leaving the premises. Having butterflies on them they go straight to the top of my list and if I'd been at the class I'd have nabbed little Miss C's cards as she was making them!! hugs Mrs A.
Great cards there Mo and well done to Miss C for selling her card to you!! Those are a great design to use snippets for.
I have sent you an email....Mr Postie dropped something off to me today.

I agree, generic cards are handy and the times I need them is in general when I don't have enough to make one for a specific occasion. I love the fact that these cards were made with scraps as well, we do have many don't we...
Love these! What a great way to use up scrap paper! I really needed this inspiration!
Brilliant cards Mo - and a perfect way to use up snippets too. You came back to the Playground with a real fanfare here!
Really lovely!
Hugs

Congratulations to you and Miss C on being a Playground Pick, Maureen! You're right, we all need these generic cards and I love the design layout!! Hugs, Darnell
These are lovely!
