Cardlings/Scraplings

Greetings!

I have been very busy these last few months and I apologize for not having posted anything recently. I will make up for that by posting more often during the summer (I hope...). Now that the apology is out of the way and you have graciously accepted it, lets move on to something fun.

A friend of mine (Hi Salima!) organized a little cardlings swap. What are cardlings also called scraplings you ask? Well I'll tell you. They are little itty bitty cards made from the scraps that are left over when you make an A2 sized card from an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of cardstock. I have also heard the term scraplings used for this. They can be used as bookmarks or little gift cards. Of course you would have to make your own customized envelope.

This was a fun project and a little challenging to work on such a small scale. I did a nature theme for mine which included (drumroll please........) owls! These are 4.25" by 1.5" when folded. There is a great gallery of scraplings on www.splitcoaststampers.com you can check out.

Enjoy!
