Tuesday's {Tip} Keep That Packaging

Today I wanted to show you how fun it can be to recycle packaging. Now I am not just talking regular, brown chipboard from cereal boxes, vitamin boxes, etc. I am talking about the packaging that comes with your embellishments. You have probably noticed that some of the companies really have some beautiful packaging. Have you thought about reusing it?

Pink Paislee has adorable packaging. Many companies do but here is one I saved for several reasons. Look at the pink, scallop border at the top. You could use that for a card, layout, or other creation. Then look at the rest of the packaging—it has baby blue notebook paper and woodgrain paper all on the same sheet. You could even reuse the pink tag and cover it with your own title or journaling. How cute is all of that to save and reuse?

Then look at the Blue Fern Studios packaging. Oh my! Think about how you could reuse the background with the diamonds, or how about that beautiful clock and rose in the corner?

Here is a handful of packaging I have saved. You could certainly use these great recycled packages to cut out die cuts too! There are all sorts of ideas on how to recycle these—think about die cuts, matting photos, journaling tags, punched borders, punched shapes, die cut letters for titles, etc., etc., etc.

So, grab a box, file folder, basket, or something similar, and start hanging onto this beautiful packaging to recycle! Have a blessed Tuesday, and thanks for joining me today!
