Somehow I got talked in to being part of a parents' night at a preschool. I was supposed to do something simple and artsy with the preschoolers, so I used a version of your old eyeshadow trick. I pre-stamped a pile of little white squares of cardstock with happy faces. Then I grabbed a bag of cotton balls and my chalk palette. Each child could rub their cotton ball in the chalk of their choice and then rub it on the cardstock to make the invisible picture appear! Very cheap but fun project!

Some useful ideas here. That piece of release paper all the dimensionals were stuck to? If you're die cutting a complicated die, use a roller glue on the back of the card BEFORE cutting, and use the release paper so it doesn't stick to the plate. And you've made a self adhesive sticker! You can even leave the backing on it and save it for later use.
