Craftroom Transformation: Ink Pad Storage using Tjena packaging

I used a Tjena box from Ikea and the packaging from the box and another Tjena to make a storage rack for my Distress Oxide pads for under $5 Canadian and it fits in the space I have for it.

Golden Journal - die cutting with plastic, embossing XL, gold leaf

Making a journal incorporating recycled materials can yield a lovely result. This die cut journal uses recycled plastic packaging and framing mat board scraps as well as a vintage button that once adorned a garment. The journal cover has been embossed and gilded for an elegant distressed look.

Flower Box - Big Shot Plus, embossing, mixed media, recycled packaging

A wonderful harbinger of Spring is a pot full of flowers even if the pot is made of packaging plastic with a Spellbinders Contour die decorated with an embossing folder and Nuvo Mousse and the flowers are paper.
