Neglected Stuff Challenge Blog Post

Well I've discovered another wonderful challenge blog designed to not only get my creative juices flowing, but this one will help me use some of the stuff that I ignore on a regular basis. It's called The Neglected Stuff Challenge and is perfect for so many of us, especially if we've been crafting for some time.

My "Neglected Stuff" in this card are the pink and white gingham dots. I went a little crazy with the amount I included here, but I really need to use them up! I bought them at a rubber stamp expo about ten years ago. Have you ever been to one of those shows? They're downright overwhelming! And even though I love them, after stamping for many years it's still hard to decide what to buy.

Anyway, I picked them up and maybe used them once. Part of the problem with them is that they're hollow on the inside, kind of like a contact lens, so they don't stick real well. To adhere them to this card, I used glue.

Here's a complete supply list for this card:

  • Stampin' Up! Daffodil Delight Card Stock
  • SU! Petal Potpourri Stamp Set
  • SU! Timeless Textures Stamp Set
  • SU! Biggest Wish Stamp Set
  • Memento Rose Bud Ink
  • Memento Dandelion Ink
  • Memento Bamboo Ink
  • Candi Mini Dimensional Dots

If you get a chance be sure to check out this great new challenge! Thanks for stopping by today!

Here's a close-up of the neglected Candi Minis, lost in the shuffle that is my rhinestone box!

  2. What a fun name for a challenge - I am trying, not always successfully, to use my older supplies. Love your sweet and cheerful card Barb, those 'candi' are gorgeous - my reaction when I read that they have a concave back, was to use a hot glue gun to adhere them.
    Blessings
