Turning Great Packaging into a Great Card

Recently I bought two of the Sydney Grace x Temptalia eyeshadow palettes, and found the packaging so lovely that I couldn’t bring myself to simply get rid of those wondrous sleeves, never to be seen again.

So, I turned them into a tea gift booklet, that I sent out to my friend. And let me tell you, that re-purposing was far more satisfying than simply throwing them out. 🙂

I didn’t use any design paper this time, just the two sleeves. For the inside and the two tiny booklets, I made my own mixed media background, using Tim Holtz’s spray and oxide inks.

In the below video I’m sharing this tea gift project, and the steps to create it. Enjoy!

  1. I loved seeing you today Hit the ground running after 3 plus weeks at the condo in South Fl. Guess they are bracing for a hurricane!
    I have sold over 1,000 of my tools. On my FB page you can see the colors I introduced. No new ideas…maybe this coming year I will have time to make albums!
