Hello there!

I’m loving these new contemporary designed stamps from Tim Holtz as they can be used for both vintage or contemporary projects (or, as in my case, a mix, lol)…

Here are the products I’ve used, and the steps, in pictures:

Upcycled packaging…

Hello folks!

Today I’m demonstrating just how packaging can be recycled and upcycled into useful backgrounds and embellishments for our crafting.  The packaging I’m using came as the internal card base for a pair of sewing scissors given to me by a friend.

It's well worth keeping your eyes open for useful packaging as, hopefully, these cards show.  Perhaps have a look around the house to see what you might be able to use if you're short on inspiration some day.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a fab and crafty weekend!
