Don't forget to have a look over at the MMTPT792 Challenge this week, we are using recycled, up cycled Kleenex boxes, magazine advertisements, vintage papers, deconstructed cardboard, and much more from our stashes and cupboards! I was able to get 'dp' for at least 3 projects. Here is my second card using a full side of the Kleenex box (square shape). I covered the medium blue square which had the Kleenex name with an oval die cut label: just because! A little strip of German Scrap at the bottom to balance the 'just because'.
Do you like to shop your pantry or linen closet to repurpose advertising materials into mixed media delight? There's so many clever cards in the gallery this week, have a look see!

Your variety of tissue boxes always amazes my - my Kleenex come in a grey box with a geometric design which I think they have just changed, but apart from being suitable for masculine cards it's not inspiring. That polar bear is fab, I like the sinuous motion. And seeing this, I now see that your die-cut foliage on the other card followed through with the colour theme. Neat work covering the branding .

This is such a lovely design on a Kleenex box and looks fabulous as a card, especially with the embossing, Susan! I love the strip of German scrap and the fancy sentiment!

Are the sides of this dry embossing or did it come that way...I can't figure it out. It looks so cool. Of course I love the German scrap on the bottom. You really made the most of that one box!
