I use all kinds of boxes for making cards, cereal, cracker, etc. I use them also instead of doubling and tripling cardstock on sentiments. It’s thicker and I usually only need one layer to make a difference. One of my favorite things to do with them, when the color is right, is to use 3D embossing folders. Just spritz with water first, lovely! Thanks so much for sharing!

I love using packaging! In the UK, Weetabix do amazing craft card, it dry embosses lovely! Looks like wood! I love that off white card, I think it looks vintage. I was searching to buy some, but couldn't find any, then looked at my Crafter's Companion packaging, it was just right! I found some nice foil on a bar of chocolate recently. I have a punk card project going on, I've covered card in the inside of some of the black plastic bags I was getting post in, looks like binbags and die cuts amazing! The inside of Tetrapak (cartons) looks like leather! You can die cut cola cans, and we get tubes of tomato puree, that has a very soft metal, gold on the inside, die cits and you can sew into it! You've got me on a roll here! I saw someone stick an inky baby wipe to some card and dry emboss it, although I don't really use them, better than going into the ground. ❤

On the other hand some will name the product they are using but do not provide a link if you want to buy something. You have provided the links if people are interested in purchasing the products you use, but I felt the emphasis was on what you had to share in the way of ideas. I have a fair amount of recycled packaging stored up due to my interest in junk journals, but I love card making equally. Would love more ideas on recycling. Thanks for a great video.

I use an electric die cutting machine, apparently it doesn't let anything go through if it could get stuck (I've only had it since Christmas and so far so good but I'm yet to test that theory too much!) The cardboard I used was probably the same thickness as cardstock so that's why I thought it would be fine and it went through perfectly.
