Sounds to me like a crimper is an old tool that everyone used to use, but doesn't anymore. Because you know that if you all did still use it, I would have had to run out and buy one. But, alas, I never felt the need to buy one, and so I've used cardboard on my card today. I've never actually used a piece of cardboard on my card, but I have admired it on others' cards. Turns out it's a lot easier to peel apart than I expected. I did kind of a messy white wash with acrylic paint over my cardboard and then just started throwing things at my card. First I decided that the edges needed gold EP. Then I though it needed glitter and I got this idea into my head that what if I cut out a stencil with my ScanNCut, spray over it with adhesive and then spread glitter on it. This is what you get--a big mess of glitter--which makes everything better! I had a good time making this card this morning. Thanks for the fun challenge, Sabrina!

Neat card with the gold and white wash of the corrugated paper. You're right about the crimper....use mine to make a cushion out of card stock when sending a detailed embellished card....kinda protects it some what. TFS

Absolutely stunning, I love the glitter. I totally understand glitter everywhere. I still have my crimper and can tell you I use mine all the time for my cards. I use it for the card stock when I have an embellishment that could poke through my envelope when mailing so it helps protect the embellishment and envelope. Do you need one now? LOL! Great card Jennifer.
