Have you ever looked at all the awesome patterns on tissue boxes and thought, “Wow! That’s some great designer paper?” Me too! Now I’ve finally taken one of them and turned it into a couple of cards.
I cut out several of the squares and arranged them for a fun backdrop to the sentiment.
Because the patterned cardboard pieces are already quite thick, no dimensionals were needed to give the pieces a popped-up look.
On this second card, however, dimensionals were placed on the back of the right half of the image panel. Since the left half of the panel is resting on the cardboard, the dimensionals allows the panel to lay flat.
One of the squares is used as a Kleenex box!

In the past, I’ve made cards with tissue box pieces, but this idea to use the little squares is genius! I love that nose with the legs too, what a super fun card!

Fabulous recycling Susan!! I love the extra tissue tucked into the box on the second.
I love your fun card and the use of the Kleenex box. Great card. So creative. Thanks for sharing over at Cardz 4 Guyz.
I will have to admit that I buy the brand of tissues that have the pretty design :). I so love what you have done with these, so cool geometric shapes on the first one, like how you used the die cut with it.
The second with the runny nose is perfect for a get well, and like the touch with the tissue 🙂
Beautiful card! I miss seeing your projects over at Crafting Happiness Challenges.
