A use for retired cardstock

I'm doing a fundraiser at work for March for Babies. We'll be having a used-book sale on Wednesday and so I decided to make some bookmarks to sell in hopes of raising some more cash. These were inspired by my upline, Teri Wells, who shared the idea with us as a past stamp camp. these were made using the Bigshot and the Table Settings Bigz Die-cut.


I also felt this was a great way to use up some of my retired cardstock. Handsome Hunter is still current, but Cool Caribbean has been retired for a couple years now. I used the Very Vintage jumbo wheel on each.

These are magnetic bookmarks, as seen in the bottom picture. They were decently easy to make (just tedious at the volume I was cutting, running through the bigshot and then running the wheel over). I really hope these are a hit.


If you're at all interested in helping out, please stop by and sponsor me for the walk on April 24th. Visit Marchforbabies.org and see if there is a walk near you!
