Hi Everyone,
I upcycled some commercial cards. I always get a lot of cards from organizations I make donations to and I usually don't throw them out, but use them for various things - mostly to try out a card idea, use them as shims, or whatever. But this time I thought I re-purpose them into handmade cards.

These are lovely, Cornelia. I like to recycle commercial cards two but never thought to stamp over them - an idea I will be borrowing from you in the future. xx
Fabulous inspiration...Thank you x
Eine Superidee ist das. Ich schmeiße diese Karten einfach weg, denn die sind oftmals dermaßen grottenschlecht, dass man noch nicht mal Teile davon verwerten kann.
Aber hier kann man sehen, dass mit Strukturpaste auch aus doofen fertigen Karten was werden kann.
Liebe Grüße
Was für eine geniale Idee!!! Ich bekomme auch reichlich kommerzielle Karten und es tut mir immer richtig leid, sie dem Papierkorb anzuvertrauen. Deine Idee ist absolut nachahmenswert. Danke für Tipp und Anleitung!!
What a great idea, Cornelia. I don't have any printed cards but this would work on some of that "what will I do with this" patterned paper.
I love this idea as we get oodles of cards from organizations too and we seldom use any of them. I sometimes tell the kids to pick out some cards from them as they don't make handmade ones but this would work as well. I love what you did with these cards and how you redid them.
I am so going to steal this genius idea...oops, did I say steal, I meant CASE. What a great way to use all my stencils.
I love what you've done here, the cards look awesome!
