Pringles Tube



I have the cleverest ladies at my card club.
The very talented Jan showed us how to recycle a boring old Pringles tube (other savoury snacks are available but these small tubes are only 3 for £1 at one of the pound-shop places)





I could never have figured this out by myself -   yes I could cover the base but I wouldn't have known how to make the lid.





I used Tilda papers and cheap flowers from The Range for this one.

Love



Not sure about this one, perhaps a candidate for the reject pile.




The paper on the left is recycled (Emma Bridgewater catalogue) and the 'love' die is Simon Says Stamp.
I die-cut the sentiment five times and stacked them together, then added Glossy Accents to the top layer.
The card didn't look right so I tried embossing the right-hand side...anyway I still don't like the finished result but there we go!

Season's Greetings



Lately my mojo hasn't just left the building; it's gone on a round-the-world cruise.
I've found myself surrounded by stash sitting staring into space.
Can anyone give me a kick up the bum and get me started again?

Recycling!



Last Christmas I was given a really nice handmade card by my SU demo. It was too nice to throw away so I saved the front and have now recycled and enlarged it!
Basically the kraft portion with the stamped trees and sentiment is by Yeeting and I have matted it on brown card and added some patterned paper (Dovecraft). The ribbon is from Ernest Jones jewellers - bought something there and they tied the bag up with this ribbon - so that is also recycled!

Recycling


I really like Orla Kiely's designs but have got fed up waiting for her to bring out a craft line. Instead I bought a scent diffuser and cut up the packaging to make cards with (I did actually want the diffuser, I'm not mad enough to buy something just for the box!)




In the end I managed to get four cards from the one, quite small, box so was happy with that.
