Hello and welcome, crafty friends!
We have a fun new challenge starting at SHOPPING OUR STASH:
Back to the Books!
Anything related to books, reading, or even using a page from a book
or text design paper on your projects can be used.
I decided to make a few bookmarks, upcycling some old
library checkout cards that were gifted to me by my teammate Mimi!
I stamped flower images on opposite corners, colored them with
Prismacolor pencils, sponged some ink around the edges, and added
glitter glue to the centers of some of the flowers. My neighbor
has a laminating machine and she let me use it to laminate these cards.
Added some ribbon and twine and these babies were done!
Here are some close ups:
I also stamped and colored on the back sides:
I hope that you'll join us for our Back to the Books challenge

These are so pretty, great job upcycling those library cards and keeping them true. beautiful colouring and designs.
ReplyDeleteThis is one beautiful and useful way to recycle those cards, I love seeing the kids' handwritten names and the stamped dates. Those were the days where libraries were the only place to get books.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you decorated these cards, taking them from plain to fabulous.
Stay healthy and safe.
