Recently I spent two months at my MIL's taking care of her as she recovered from an injury. I took stuff with me, but was afraid of running out of supplies, so I was very frugal. I did two dissections that I thought you would also enjoy trying.
First, I dissected a tissue box and got 5 cards out of it. Then I dissected an envelope and got 3 cards out of it. The challenge? Try dissecting either an envelope or a tissue box. Post at least 2 cards showing your efforts. Bonus points if the parts of the envelope are still recognizable as parts and pieces of envelopes.
Here's a link to our TLC913 Dissection gallery:

Here are my cards:
5 Cards from a Tissue Box by ruby-heartedmom at Splitcoaststampers
Just got my August Paper Pumpkin kit and the Sweet Sunflowers kit envelopes are the prettiest they've ever had. So that's a bonus if you are a subscriber! I'm guessing many of those envelopes will be dissected.
Also, I want to apologize in advance. I made a lot of cards with this technique while I was with my MIL--just because I had time and wanted to use the pretty envelopes my friend was sending with her cards. (So they are recycled/upcycled envelopes.) There are also samples made with plain old business envelopes. So everyone has the stuff required for this challenge.
Edited to add: When stamping on tissue boxes, the hard surface requires StazOn or heat embossing. Dye inks probably will not dry well and might smear.
