RemARKable Going Green Blog Tour - DAY 1

GUESS WHAT THIS BOX IS FROM?

Ever since I got this box of Truvia, I had hoped I would be able to recycle it into a craft project. I decided to make this box of cards.
This box is adorable and just the right size for the 3 by 5 cards/envelopes in our SU! catalog. I love the way it opens too.
I decorated the box with SU! designer papers from the Cottage Wall Collection.
I covered the box carefully and added orchid opulence scalloped edging and the butterflies that I die cut with my SU! Big Shot. I also added some certainly celery satin ribbon that is new to the Occasions mini catalog by Stampin UP!
I have to tell you about the butterflies. I die cut them from the Beautiful Butterflies die. I wanted them to pop a little more so I also embossed them with the embossing folder Elegant Bouquet. I swiped some SU! white craft ink over them to highlight them a little more.

The cards I made for the inside are below. You certainly can make more of them. I used the Easter Egg kit in the Occasions mini and it will make a lot of projects. Don't just think that kit is for decorating eggs.

The Easter egg kit has some die cut papers that are cut to go around an egg to make an egg stand. I just used them on some of the cards. There are also these gorgeous flowers that you can dimensionalize and ooh la la - rhinestones!!!!
I also took out the new rub ons from the Occasions Mini and used them on each of the cards. This butterfly is a Big Shot die cut. Did I ever tell you how much I love my Big Shot?

The Easter Egg kit also has wonderful RUB ONS as well. I used the white ones here on the celery egg stand that I turned into grass for this egg. By the way...the egg is die cut from designer paper using the oval die for the Big Shot. You can die cut 4 different ovals and turn them into 4 different egg sizes. I added more rhinestones here also.

You too, can truly "go green" with products you use in your every day life. I bet after seeing this project you will start looking around at the boxes you have in your pantry or even at those on the shelves of your local grocery store and start seeing them in a different way.
