I had gotten a Rolodex while I was working at a hospital a few years ago, and I had no idea what to do with it after our bosses gave us the a-okay to toss them out. I decided there had to be a way to get arty with them, and so I had saved them up (a few of my co-workers gave me theirs), and they have been in my art stash waiting for something to be done with them! Well, last Summer, I finally got out my Rolodex goodies out of the mothballs and I finally started to play with them! Well, for the most part I primarily got jiggy with creating some fun and colorful backgrounds! Something I have had a little bit of practice at.
Today was the day that I finally pulled them out again and decided to take a handful of Rolodex cards out and see them come to completion!
I had an entire mess of my art stash out and at the ready for playing with! I will see if I can list all of the supplies that I actually had used:
UHU Glue Stick
Stabilo Marksall Pencils: green, blue, orange, and brown
A bunch of small pics – most of which were either printed by FreePrints.com or I printed them myself using my Selfie Printer.
Scissors
Fiskars paper cutter
Aleene’s Quick Grab Tacky Glue
Words printed out on regular printer paper, using my home printer
Signo Broad Ink pen; White, and Black
Die cuts
Tim Holtz People cut outs
Washi tape
Hole punch
Mini paper doily
I hope I did not miss anything!
I seriously had such a fun time making these cards. I am seriously considering making this a more frequent visitor in my weekly video catalog!!
I hope that this video has inspired you to go find your own Rolodex (they can be easily found in most thrift stores), and get to playing on your own Creative Rolodex Truth Cards!
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know down in the comments section, I am always happy to be of help! Also, please let me know if you do decide to do a spread like this, what song would you choose to use?
