In between our regular challenges over at the Chirper Challenge we're doing some cartridge exploration. One of the carts on the list this week was Fabulous Finds. I use it for bookplates a lot, but I've never used these darling paperclips. I cut the paperclip (pprclip6) at 1.5". The circle cut-out at the top of the clip is a bit less than 3/4" and allows you to glue a 3/4" circle behind the round opening. I cut them from very heavy cardstock and they really work like regular paperclips! I cut the letters for "wish" from PS and the word Big from BB. The present is from SS and I added some self-adhesive rhinestones in all of the holes. I also used a corner punch in the upper right corner for a bit of added interest.Friday, July 24, 2009

Darling Kris! And this is a cartridge I don't have (imagine that!) Love the way you used the clips. I have some regular clips and I never know what to do with them. Great idea! xxD
ReplyDeleteWhat an eye catcher. I love it and the paperclips look REAL! Great job Kris!
