CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK #140-Craftcycle ...

Hello Crafty Bloggers!
Today's tip is all about craftcycling in your craft room.
I know you have probably done this sort of thing before where you open your packages, remove the goodies & think...hey I can use this packaging for something!
Well, specifically today I want to share that concept with something specific.
IF & WHEN YOU bring home craft supplies that are stored in clear plastic or acrylic packaging-
 SAVE IT!
Some examples of types of packaging to look out:
1-Cricut Cartridge Clear Plastic Packaging (old style)
2-Prima's trinket line packaging
3-Stamp packaging
4-Martha Stewart product packaging
5-Chipboard packaging
Cut it into manageable squares & craftycycle  by using it with your embossing folders & manual die cutters.
You can probably use it in your electronic die cutters too but be sure to size your cuts accordingly.
You can then use your alcohol inks &/or acrylic paints to add even more interest  to this once upon a time to be discarded item.
