Using cardboard packaging on my projects (Part 2)


 


If you are a regular blog reader, you know that I am big on repurposing and giving things a new lease of life. If possible. It is so easy to just put everything in the recycle bin and let the relevant agencies deal with the by-products of your purchases. Even though we cannot repurpose everything, we should try to at least reduce single use items. And it's a great way to get creative too. Back in May, I shared how I used cardboard packaging on my projects...here is Part 2. :)


I really love the bright bold colours on this makeup packaging so I used it as a photo mat on my layout. I even cut out the text from the side of the box (Make your escape) and used it on my layout.


The eco-bag set that came with a skincare purchase had a kraft tag...


Which was perfect as an element on my card. :)


My recent nail sticker purchases came in individual cardboard sleeves with a cut-out window...


So I used that as a fun base to design some happy mail bits. 

What about you? How are you getting creative with your packaging materials?

You buy things with nicer packaging than I do, lol. That said, I do use cereal boxes and cardboard tubes regularly in my crafting. :D

I am doing more and more recycled packaging projects because of you. Your blog has helped me to see the beauty in what NORMAL people throw away. LOL! Thanks!
