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?
