I just started watching the show “The Lazy Environmentalist” and it got me to thinking…”Can I be even greener in my crafting?” Here is a card I made with some thick plastic packaging:
I used the cute Sock Monkey set from Stampin Up, stamped it with SU! basic black on Georgia Pacific Cardstock and water-colored him, with M Graham co. paints. The paper is by K&co (there are the cutest sock monkey patterns in there!) and I cut all the shapes out with my Cricut and accent Essentials cartridge. Now that’s some Chic Trash! Happy Crafting!
This is too cute! I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for sharing this great idea!

question….how do you make the edges not razor sharp???? Otherwise, it’s a fab idea but whenever I have had to cut plastic packaging, it ends up super sharp.

I used a paper trimmer (x-acto guilotene style or a sizzix machine) to cut the plastic and it wasn’t sharp, maybe it curls the edge a bit or something, haven’t tried it with scissors though.
