Default Cellophane packaging

Is there a use for the packaging that clear stamps, kits, merchandise comes in? It is thin plastic but I thought perhaps it may have a role in card making. Any ideas?

I use them for shaker/window cards.  Sometimes cards fit in them too, and I store my hand-made cards in them.  They make nice clear envelopes as well.  They're also useful for scraps to tuck inside a paper pad or keep with a paper collection.  Lots of uses!

Everything Scrapjanny said! I also use them for impromptu palettes when I only need a drop of paint.

I use them to protect my work surface when I am putting wet glue on intricately cut pieces.

I use them to combine stamp sets with their dies for storage. I don't buy a lot of storage things, because of space, so I keep it simple.  I do save them, & use them if they fit the stamp set & put the coordinating dies inside too. I've got a pile, so I have different sizes saved. If they tear, I used clear packing tape to mend. ;)<3
