HELP! I need some creative advice, please!

OK...
I was just playing with my classy copper embossing powder and I heat embossed the tops of a bunch of tiny puzzle pieces. They are soooooo cute and shimmery.
But now what do I do with them? What kind of card can I make? I'd like to use them for regional swaps, if possible.
They are too small to stamp any images onto them. I was able to put 1/16" holes in some of them. I also have copper paper and copper cord.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Laura >^,,^<

Hmmm - what about making charms with them? Or making an invitation that says something like, "Please come to our party. It just wouldn't be complete without you!" It's just a subtle reference to the puzzle piece, but it works!

I would be interested to know what you decide to do - it sounds like a cute project!

I love the idea completely. Now to use it - you can even put it on a
"missing you" card.

How about stringing them on wire or cord like a string of Christmas lights? Might be able to make a kind of off-kilter type of Christmas card with that. Or use the square punch to make a hole in the top 1/3 of a card front and mount the puzzle piece inside of that with some sort of 'Missing You' type of sentiment written inside.

I'm thinking I might just have to try doing that to some puzzle pieces. Hmm...

Oh, I love those ideas! Thanks! I'm making a lot of things for a sampler set of all copper stuff. I'm going to have a copper class in November, like a 10-10-20 or something.

I just had a thought, but it would take a LONG time...
I could get 2 pieces that match, emboss them separately, then put them together for a wedding or engagement card.
But this puzzle is a thousand pieces...I'd probably never find matches, lol.

Oh, wait...my kids could do it :twisted:

Anyone else have ideas? I'm in copper mode right now and want to do EVERYTHING with it!
