recycled mail scrabook/cardmaking/stationary paper


I bet you've thrown away like 
50 pieces of this cute stuff this month. 


I can't throw away cute paper


I have tried



but I am getting better 
at making useful 
projects from the 
cute old paper



for example this collection of recycled 
card-making/scrapbooking/stationary paper


made completely from old mail



I have one (10 piece) set of assorted 6in x 6in paper




Four (10 piece) sets of 4in x 4in paper



and one (16 piece) set of assorted sizes and patterns



the 4in x 4in sets are up on etsy





I will be listing the rest of the collection soon


hope you love cute paper as much as I do



now go make someone you love 
an adorable handwritten card



I promise it will change their day!




7/26/13 UPDATE!!!

Just got a note back from someone who bought some of my recycled envelope stationary and this is what it became!

Cute Recycling Bins, Birthday Cupcakes and a video.



Our recycling pile was getting out of hand. So I made the two bottom shelves of our pantry a recycling organizer. These were made completely from crap we had laying around the house.




I used pink construction paper and a Sharpie to write out the words and decorate. Then I "laminated" them with clear packing tape and made hole punches.





I tied the tags to the milk crates with this green scrap yarn I had.


Super easy.

And cute. And now our recycling isn't piling up in the kitchen!






These are the adorable cupcakes Stephenie made for Amber's Birthday. So cute.





Last week I went to a conference and heard the guys from First+Main speak. I thought this video was really well done.
