FROM TRASH TO TREASURE: Let's turn Amazon packaging into an ephemera folio! #1 Collaged cover

[@loribaca9065]

Merry Christmas. My dear husband gave me a Big Shot that I'm excited to try. Christmas was a beautiful day with just close family and good food. My grandson was given lots of art supplies, including some watercolour. I'm excited about painting with him soon. Thank you for your beautiful videos.

[@TealandTattered]

Wow what an amazing gift!! I hope you will have a lot of fun using it 💕 And I'm so happy you spent Christmas with your loved ones!

[@wandalorenz7688]

What a lovely new series! I was able to be with my husband and daughter but with quarantines no other family. Side note my daughters boyfriend is first generation polish here in USA. Loving your channel thanks

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Wanda! I'm so happy you spent the Christmas with your loved ones 💕 Big hugs to you, your daughter and her boyfriend!

[@louisesouza6627]

This is a great idea. Will have to save my amazon packaging

[@knackability7098]

I love the way you organized your printed pages, what a great idea.

[@francelanoue1292]

Happy Hollidays to you! Me 61 and my husband 72 we were alone because the government of Quebec ask cause of the pandemic situation but it was fine we cook together and listen Christmas Carol ! We were safe and glad to be! I wish you an Happy new year 🎉

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much France! I am so happy you had such a lovely time with your husband and that you are both safe! It's the most important thing right now, isn't it :) Happy New Year to you, dear!

[@bonnieleehen]

I love you blouses. So pretty like everything you make. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Bonnie! I try to make the watching experience as pleasant as possible even with my clothing, so thank you for noticing! 💕

[@valray405]

So creative, Martyna, using packaging to make this delightful ephemera holder. Love the wild flower paper, stitching, gold embossing and gilding. Looking forward to parts 2 and 3. Thank you!

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Val! I'm so happy you like the project! 😊

[@ivybolm8834]

I loved your papers, design, aNo project idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@darlyswynn5594]

I really love this...my collage attempts have been epic fails, and you make it look so easy! Being the mother of four children and coming from a large family, I understand how tiring it can be...it sometimes leaves you not being able to enjoy the holiday as much, and not feel like eating until you have rested. Your mother is lucky to have you wanting to take over. Great tutorial...thanks for sharing!

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Martyna, WoW this is sooo GORGEOUS !!! The papers you used are some of the most stunning I’ve ever seen and how you came up with how everything will go into this project is genius! Thanks so much for showing us all how to heat emboss for those of us who didn’t know how. If I had all the tools, I’d be embossing everything because it’s so sparkly and I love sparkly. My walls, all my paper, all my journals, my ceilings, all my furniture and all of my clothes!!! Big love from Canada 🇨🇦✨💕🔆

[@fred98877]

Thank you for sharing about your life. I am struggling too with lockdown, and my craft room brings me joy- when I push myself to go in there. Your projects are amazing!!

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Julie! Hang in there dear! The lock down will eventually be over and we will come out of it stronger :)

[@CJG1419]

That turned out really well. Very pretty.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you CJ! 💕

[@Etheldreda-]

Lovely video ☺️ Yes, it’s madness, the first time in history that healthy people have been put into quarantine.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Senara! 😊 It really is! Hopefully it will come to an end sooner than later :)

[@terresexton5908]

Thank you for sharing this idea! I need something to keep ephemera and pages in. I also LOVE that large book that you keep the pages in.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much dear! 🥰

[@olwynnsay237]

I am so glad you did this video as I was thinking about upcycling my Amazon packaging and couldn't think how to do it. I must try this. Beautiful. ❤

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Olwynn! I'm so happy you liked it! 💕

[@sanan4144]

Yes!! I save so much packaging, I nearly never throw anything away. I look forward to this ☺️

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Sandy! 🥰

[@BonnyAndClive]

Oh my gosh, I'm the same lol. I'm forever trying to use it up lol 😄

[@suzieq23ify]

As always just beautiful and creative. Love your ideas for the embossing! AND, believe me you are not the only one who gets embossing powder everywhere, glitter too!!

[@KrissiCreates]

I'm so excited for another series with you ! I received packaging like yours last week and have been staring at it on the top of my upcycle pile trying to decide what I will make with it. Now I know!!! Lol !! I had a quiet Christmas alone, as I was in a horrible Fibromyalgia flair up. But my son and Granddaughter made it better when they showed up with a wonderful Christmas dinner, hugs, love and sweet gifts. Plus my Granddaughter fluffed my pillows and tucked me in bed !! Lol !! I'm blessed !!

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Krissi! Ohh I am so so sorry you were in pain, dear friend! But how amazing your family helped you through this and made the Christmas brighter and happier! I am sending you so much love and big hugs!!

[@homeschooledaroundtheworld4660]

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you for kind words Sheamarie! I’m so happy you’re enjoying this project ❤️

[@brendabw8924]

I always use these so I slide a knife under those flaps, the do lift easily and then cut them off. Makes the job easy and in fact had just done one exactly like that before I saw it on your video. Thank you for the lovely ideas xx

[@TealandTattered]

Great idea! Thank you Brenda 😊

[@aprilcarter749]

Very beautiful cover just like you I have limited space so all the packaging I had went to recycling so now I will not be so quick to get rid of them.. those papers you used are simply gorgeous. On my way to watch part 2, Thanks for sharing such a great ideal!!!!

[@littlebirdcreations7]

Hi Martyna, I very much enjoyed this project, it was great to see how you upcycled Amazon packaging. Looking forward to the next video! Merry Christmas! ❄️☃️🎄🎅🏻🎁

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Melanie! I'm so happy you liked it and I hope you will enjoy the rest of this project! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, dear! ❤

[@Ammiel7]

I love the book you made with wildflowers I was just asking about that book and here it is lol MPP papers are lovely, Chapter One is the ones in wildflowers I love as well I tend to lean to the more brighter coloured backgrounds Love your tutorials Cheers 🇦🇺🌸

[@violetdoran5996]

[@purpleplump6650]

Your Christmas Eve sounds lovely......Love this collage too. I have just thrown out all my Amazon packaging, as my craft area was so untidy !! 😦.....just subscribed to your channel 😊💗

[@taylormadejournals9662]

Merry Christmas Martyna. We had a lovely Christmas , it was just a time to snuggle down and spend sometime just as a family this year. I hope your Christmas was lovely. You are such a sweetheart my friend, I am so happy you love creating with the kits. Everything French I have comes from France.

[@TealandTattered]

Marry Christmas dear friend! I’m so happy you had such lovely time! 🥰

[@lisajmascord8183]

Very pretty. Love the colour of the Sari silk you used.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you, dear! It's definitely one of my favorite sari silk ribbons I own 😊

WOW!!! Now I have to start saving Amazon packaging 😂. Who knew it was possible to turn all the packaging into something so beautiful? Another great video, tfs❤️

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you, dear! I'm so happy you like this project!! 😊

[@melindamclauchlan1373]

What a beautiful project. I have these papers from Porch Prints too, but haven’t used them yet. After almost 8 months in lockdown here in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) we were able to have up to 30 people gather for Christmas, so it was lovely to have my whole family here for Christmas Tea xx

[@TealandTattered]

Wow that’s so amazing! I’m so happy you had such a wonderful family gathering 🥰

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

This is looking gorgeous looking forward to the next video

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Sherry! It’s coming tomorrow! 🥰

[@randyvalentine988]

Happy to hear that you had a nice Christmas Day with your family. My husband and I spent the day together eating and then walked around the neighbourhood enjoying all the Christmas lights. It was a winter wonderland as it snowed all day.I missed my family and friends so much over the holidays. Missed going to church Christmas Eve. Missed the shopping at the Christmas markets. So many things that we had to give up so that we could stay healthy. I’m so looking forward to getting the vaccine in the new year but will continue to create in the next few months to pass the time. Thank you for bringing us such great ideas. Deb V

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you for your kind words Deb! I'm so happy you had such a lovely time with your husband. I share your pain over not seeing the rest of the family and friends though. We just need to stay strong for a little longer, don't we! Hugs and love, dear :)

[@karenpruis501]

I am so happy to hear your family Christmas was a success. I had Christmas with some friends and my parents. It was a great day. bye for now.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Karen! I'm so happy you had a lovely time with your loved ones too! 😊

[@385lidia]

Your English is very good. Your work is beautiful. I am in Australia, Queensland, we didn't have much fall out from the virus. Hope everything is going back to semi normal soon. Hugs.

[@biancabalanceoflife2171]

So wonderful upcycling ❤

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Bianca! I'm so happy you like it 😊

[@AtSusiesCottage]

I have so much packaging like that I’m going to have to make some! You’ve chosen beautiful papers too xxx💕

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Susie! I’m very happy you’re enjoying the project 🥰

[@chaselip]

So beautiful. I save lots of things to use rather than just throwing it away or having to buy more chipboard.💝💝💝

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much! Yes, I'm saving it all now too! It's an amazing feeling to be able to use something you would normally throw away, isn't it? :)

[@joannoble4093]

What a wonderful daughter you are.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Joan! That's so sweet of you 💕

[@jaimatibhaga7598]

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you dear!! 🥰

[@judyadams9568]

I love what you did with the packaging, love all your videos. would you please tell me where you got the tearing ruler? I have looked on Amazon but did find one that looks like yours. Thank You

[@annelouise4639]

Your work is always so beautiful! 😊😍🌸🍃🌼

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much!! It means a lot 🥰

[@cindyherington9045]

Your work is beautiful! Can you share where you got your wax seal products?

[@gurkmeja2021]

WOW, looooove this! ☆☆☆☆♡☆☆☆☆ Thank you for sharing this awesome idea, Martyna! Very inspiring. How beautiful the result turned out. Wishing you a fabulous New Year's Eve and a great 2021! Best regards from Ditte in Sweden (and my collie puppy says 'voff'!) ☆☆☆

[@didmar0159]

Loved this video, thank you. Going to love getting some inspiration from this series b/c I have a stash of recycles - I have a few of the merci chocolate boxes in my stash....hoping you'll inspire me to do something with it aside from using as backing for tags.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you for kind words dear! Actually the first project with the Merci box is coming to my channel today! Hope you'll enjoy it 💕

[@attachepapers6406]

I love this idea. Have a few packaging items I've been saving just for something like this, when I manage to make some time hehe.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you! ❤

Just found your channel and this is beautiful!!💗

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferbarr4156]

So beautiful! I had to go and buy this collection. Can't wait for the next videos for this project. Wish I could have been crafting along with you today. Unfortunately I am cleaning soot off of Everything in my craft room. I learned the hard way to never burn another candle in my craft room. I even made these candles from beeswax because I read that you don't get as much soot from them as a regular candle. Not true...sigh. Thank you for sharing another beautiful project Martyna!

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Jennifer! ❤ Ohh I hope you managed to clean the soot off!

[@theplumcreekbooksmith]

Thank you for sharing this sweet project!! It turned out so pretty! New subscriber here!! You have a nice personality!!

[@margaretcontrone9286]

Ooooh so pretty! What a fabulous idea!! I love my porch prints also. Such pretty kits and such. I'm so happy you had a nice christmas with your Mom, sister and boyfriend. I'm sure she was happy for the break. It's not easy. I used to cook chrismas eve for 25! My husband is Italian and has a rather large fam. Never to late to start new tradtions! Oh and I'd LOVE to know where you got that cool tear ruler! 😉

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Margaret! 😊 Wow, 25?? And you cooked all by yourself? You're a super-hero! It has to be an amazing experience to have so many people over, though so much work as well! The ruler I found on Amazon and the brand is 'Joy!Crafts' :)

[@veraschmidt9429]

This is beautiful. Question: You don't use decopage/mod poge to hold and seal everything in place?

[@rickiquilt]

Lovely🎄♥️♥️

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheJournalCottage]

Good Morning sweet Mayrya. Looking forward to sharing your thoughts and ideas for your series From “Trash to Treasure”

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you Cheryl! 🥰

[@lucyochoa2965]

Enjoying this series! What glue do you use? I have been searching high and low for a tea ruler exactly like yours. Where did you find it?

[@rexeleast]

Love this tutorial, can I ask what paper do you use for printing please?

[@uratu6416]

Hi, Martyna, on which paper you print digital kits? Happy holidays!

[@TealandTattered]

Happy holidays dear! I print on matte photo paper 😊

[@cindybarnard8273]

What is the other wildflower kit you referred to? This one is beautiful.

[@TealandTattered]

I used the 'Among Wildflowers' and Wildflower collage sheets 😊

[@cindybarnard8273]

@@TealandTattered thank you. I’ve ordered both sets 👏👏👏. What printer do you use. Your colors are so vivid.

[@lorettataylor3374]

Awesome start to a beautiful folio. BTW, did you mom enjoy your non-12 coarse dinner? Just curious since you said that was customary. ❤️

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you dear!! She did 🥰 still we had much too much food and next year I’m planning to make even less - just enough to have a nice meal!

[@debbielauzon847]

Your digi prints are stunning..I stopped printing paper because it was costing me a fortune in ink...what do you do? Do you print those yourself or do you go to a copy store for all those beautiful papers?

[@1orielle2]

I bought an eco tank printer. They are expensive...but, the money saved on ink cartridges is remarkable. Pays for itself in about the time you would purchase four sets ink cartridges for my other printer!

[@wildpaisley6351]

Can you explain how and what you did with the ribbon? Also where did you get your ribbon and ripping ruler? Great video. New subscriber 😁

[@shondra6]

Those little bags are called snap lock bags in Ozzie. I think I am the queen of snap lock bags , to store my bits of junk in.🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@debbiecooper3125]

Keep a swiffer brush on your craft area and brush the excess powder off with it and it cleans it all up.

[@handmadebysarah3840]

Hi, that was a great informative video....can I know on how much weight paper you have printed..

[@amythomas9204]

Excellent idea and so pretty! Where did you get your tear ruler? Do you have an Amazon affiliate list?

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Amy! I don’t, but I got it on Amazon from a brand Joy!Crafts 🥰

[@MaSP37]

Hello Dear. I loved everything it is so pretty. Can you tell me where I find a ruler like yours...

[@karenkrafts]

Beautiful. Btw, folding the paper in half that you use to put the embossing powder back in container will create less mess. All the powder goes to the middle of the paper when your pouring it back in.

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you for watching and for a great advice!! 🥰

[@Paperlovekh]

Beautiful idea, may I ask where did you get your fabulous ruler please?

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you! 💕 I got is on Amazon and the brand is 'Joy!Crafts' :)

[@beckythomas9780]

Do you print these up on paper or on card stock???the wildflower kit?/

[@zenxara9914]

Oh man, during xmas time I was like a kid. I received an Amazon order and I want OOoohhh, open the box, place the stuff aside and look at the box going "I can make a cover with this" XD what is the name of the rule you use to shred/cut the edge of the paper? I'm having a hard time find it online :P

[@debbiepeters1647]

😍

[@melissarico4]

What kind of ruler are you using to tear paper

[@vonieisenbeis5432]

what is that ruler called? i have not seen one like that

[@lindasoloshy4961]

It's called a tear ruler. I bought a set of them from Amazon, made by We Are Memory Keepers.

[@iteeshollow]

Umm, thats not trash lol.
