Cards, Cards, and more Cards 2!


Heat embossing. The text is done with a silver marker and a brass stencil.


Cow-nting down to 40! Little sister loves black and white cows, so I stamped and heat embossed this one on white paper before cutting it out and using pop dots to gift it a little lift.




The ornament in the lower left corner was cut out from a foam stamping onto black cardstock and then lifted with pop dots.

"Fifi" was printed onto white cardstock and then "colored" with a puff pen (Liquid Appliqué by Marvy/Uchida). The inside of the card reads "Fifi says, 'Have a great Birthday, [name]!'."

Scrapbooker's Challenge from May 2008

Introducing our first ever Scrapbooker's Challenge!  Each challenge will feature some odd bit of leftover scrapbooking or crafting supply.  The challenge is for you, the reader, to come up with some useful things we could do with it.  Post your solutions as a comment, or even better yet, send us a photo at imagegallery@craftyneighbor.com.  We'll review the answers and the one we think is best gets a prize!




This challenge features some stray scraps of green cardstock left over from Cindy's Christmas Cards. There's about 75 of them, measuring 8" x 1.5". Cindy's thinking bookmarks...what could YOU do with them?


As of our move to Blogger.com on 11/13/10, this challenge was still open.
