The sheer delight you show in your voice bring joy to my heart and makes my creative juices run wild! Love to watch and rewatch your videos. Thank you, Natasha!🥰🫂
I also use these packaging materials like stamps. I have dedicated storage for all my “irregular” (not bought, trash to most people 😊) stamps. My husband can’t believe I don’t throw these things out. Hoping you will show us your card creations using these backgrounds. Super fun! TFS
Me too ladies! I can’t bear to throw out good useable trash. It makes such great designs. Wet wipes are also a great resource. I save the ones that I just use for wiping my hands or face. I then wash them in a laundry bag or pillow slip let them dry and keep them for my card making. Wet or dry they make some stunning patterns. Add ink directly to them and then press to card. If you wet them first the inks will bleed and blend into each other, you can get some great affects. So I add them to my trash box too. Happy crafting ladies. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
When you pulled the print from the "fishnet" product it reminded me of diamond plate you see on pickup running boards, tool boxes, etc. If done in silver it could made a great guy card. In my opinion, the cardboard looks so cool when used as a background for texture on cards or mixed media projects. It MIGHT look good if sprayed with fall colored paints (or leave plain) then die cut for fall leaves and/or trees. I'm betting you played crafts all day!!! I can't wait to see what you do for cards! These are GREAT creations for backgrounds, die cuts, borders, etc., etc., etc., TFS!
Natasha, you are so innovative, I can imaging your primary students loving being with you. And I love being here, too, to enjoy all the fun and delight. All of these backgrounds are fun. My favourite is from the corrugated cardboard, particularly the turquoise one. Thank you for sharing. 🌷🇨🇦💖
My family think I have lost the plot when I grab things like these for my crafting. TFS and I look forward to seeing what you do with these backgrounds.
Fun techniques… that corrugated cardboard would be perfect for art journaling. I had never heard of using the packaging foam to help with die cutting so that will be interesting to check out sometime. Thanks for sharing your creativity and have a lovely day! 🙂
Hi Tash * my husband will be horrified by my new collection (textured waste)😝. You inspire hoarding as well as creativity.🤣😂😆.... Thank you, I think🤔🌹🥰🦘🦘🦘
This is so funny, I have had so many comments about 'grumbling background husbands'...it makes me laugh so much, because mine pretty much does the same! Unless I hide the 'collection' very well! lol. This gave me a good giggle for the day!
Sharon Lusaka uses the white thin foam packaging for slight dimension on card elements. Easier to go through the mail. I also use it for padding a card with raised elements so they are protected. This stuff is great! Thanks for all the creative ideas.
The blue gel plate background would be fun for a fish or undersea card. 🙂 I particularly love the blue and green stripes from the corrugated cardboard. My mind is swimming with ideas now too!💕
another use for that thin white foam would be to 'protect' a card if you have lots of pearls and or other embellishments. It doesn't add to postage either. TFS, great use of 'trash'. :D
I bought a extra large cat heated pad from Amazon and in it was 35 feet of that paper you have there with rectangle holes in….unbelievable. I have kept it but wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it…… Love these ideas… I have just bought the wowed red from Tim holtz but bought in a spray so I can use it for all options..
What an absolutely fun video Natasha! It was so much fun watching you craft in this one, and your enthusiasm is infectious. Makes me look at all that packaging in a new light! Thank you for sharing!
Oh, Tash, corrugated cardboard for the win!! I love making cards with that, it makes the coolest rustic Christmas cards. I love your sprayed cards the best. Gonna have to invest in some oxide sprays now!!❤🦋❤
Good video. An idea I had was if you used the corrugated card, stamp halfway up. Then choose a darker blue and stamp that slightly higher, same again with another blue to create a sea scene. If you miss parts at the bottom, use the bubble wrap to represent sea foam.
What fun! I keep sooo much packaging 'just in case' lol. Your videos are so full of inspiration Natasha that I think I'll have to start keeping a notebook by me when I watch. I've just made myself a gelli plate so I'm excited to use that too. Looking forward to seeing the cards that these backgrounds become. As always TFS
zMy fave out of all your backgrounds was the one with the netting type of packaging. Great look of texture and would suit a variety of cards. Thanks for sharing Tash!x
Love them all! Myfav, tho, is the rainbow honeycomb-like textures. I have a small box I keep all my "garbage" pieces/packaging in. Corrugated cardboard is my fav to use! Thanks, Tash! ~bets~
I have tried many of these on my Gelli plate. Thanks for some new ideas to play with! I don't mind your longer videos at all, enjoy learning new things from you. Thank you!
I saved these same packing materials too and also got some cool backgrounds. Then I was shopping one day in the dollar store and Christmas Tree shops and found a basket weave vinyl placemat and some cut work border mats and wow! They made the coolest images! Neat thing is too because they’re vinyl, they can be easily washed and reused!
I love the recycled idea for card backgrounds. The Saltwater Taffy card front was one of my favorites because it is interesting without competing with added elements. The think corrugated cardboard ones were also interesting. Lovely, and so economical!! Thanks for having so much fun for us!!
NEVER throw away those thin foam packaging pieces. I used them a lot when I have a card with a lot of bulky embellishments to protect them until the card is delivered. I so much more enjoy doing this kind of creative play than putting together a card with a thousand little fiddly die cuts to put together. (They are really cute in the end, but yeah! This is way more fun! ) I wonder if it is because I was never very good at art growing up and feel like we were always trying for an end product. I didn’t learn to ‘play’ until I was retired. My daughter in love WAS an art major and gave me so much encouragement to just enjoy the moment. Thank you again!
I bet you could also use some of the stiffer materials with the Simon Hurley foam blocks as yet another technique. Not that you need any more! And I would love to see a video of you turning these into cards. I know you have many of them, but it always helps me. Background-making sessions are so fun, but then they just tend to linger in a bag forever.
These were really cool backgrounds. The scrunched brown paper technique was a painting technique when I was a child. My granny’s bedrooms were painted that way.
2:06 That "scrunched up brown paper" now makes a really great STAMP or *block print.* So more paper goes down, and stamp away using the acquired ink on the brown paper. In fact, anything you can "scrunch up" which wil hold its shape a little can become a block printer tool. (it actually becomes a "Three for One" situation lol). I've done this with some old cotton cloth. Mopped up with it, then decided to stamp the excess off onto new sheets of copy paper. Made heaps more than I expected.
So, stay with me here…I feel like this video is akin to a kid on Christmas playing with the wrapping paper and boxes instead of the toys…and I’m here for it!!! Natasha, you never cease to inspire me. The corrugated paper to create a plaid background was my favorite…but then I’m in a bit of a plaid mood with the holidays right around the corner. Thank you for the time, energy and inspiration you give so freely!!! ❤❤❤
All that packaging is awesome for gel printing, I saved the protective foam they put around paw paw I'm going to have a go with that soon love your ideas 💡 ❤️ 😀
Natasha, yes, can so, so relate to seeing things that most considered trash as a craft supply or tool!! I’ve been saving various things for years! Enough that even my husband & daughter will save things for me -all while lovingly rolling their eyes & shaking their heads 🙄😊 - things like the little hangers on socks, the insides of used up correction tape, etc. Now you have given me a fresh new way to see these common packing materials!! Can’t wait to try the foam sheet - very nice texture! Thank you!! Oh & can totally relate to your mind buzzing with ideas - that’s one of my “happy places” because I feel so much like myself in these moments. Thank you!!
I really like the rainbow bubble wrap prints, they are my favourite. I think they'd look great as fun birthday cards using your cute little bee stamps 😉 xx
Thanks, Natasha! Another amazing video. I had SO many ideas hit me as I watched. I do multi media work as well, and these few simple ideas blew my mind. I can hardly wait for your videos to hit. I am so very glad I kept all the packaging I got in the last year - I don't feel such a goose now! Thank you so much for all your inspiration - you are extraordinary.
It's funny that you said the colorful backgrounds made by the bubble wrap reminded you of beeswax. As you held up the first example, I was thinking of it was made with all yellow I would use it as a background to my beehive and bee stamps. Thank you for sharing. I never think to create backgrounds like this. Now I'm motivated to see what junk I can use. And I'm definitely keeping the flat foam to try with my dies. Nice tip.
The white foamy stuff you used at 9 minutes, I use it as a die cut layer: it gives dimension but not weight, so I attach it behind my card die cuts, especially if I'm raising a circle or square, when you can cut it a bit smaller, so the card appears to float.
I always get so inspired when watching your videos. Its a divine gift you have not just being exceptional creative but having such a gift for inspiring others. ❤️
I've put a layer of glue onto a piece of corrugated cardboard to make a barrier, then use as a stamp to put lines in my journal. Have been using the same one for over a year
I have used the bubble wrap also and absolutely love using it. I never used the others I have to try it. Thank Natasha for sharing and hope to see what you come up with when making your cards.
Gelli print hint - if you use tissue paper or a thin paper like (non-silicon) baking/grease proof paper, you can take the paint from between the holes in the net-like wrapping, which will allow more contrast between the background colour & the netting effect to show through. Works really well when printing leaves & petals & things too. Allows you to get into the spaces better than printer paper does. And of course makes a great collage paper or background in itself as you get the opposite effect from what’s on your gel plate
totally loved this! what i particularly like is the variety of effects with minimal/no tools & machines. such an inspiration to use what you have -- & to recycle 😊
Great idea, thanks for sharing! We live in a small town with limited recycling, so I end up trashing more than I’d like to. Now I can reuse more of it, so thanks again! Does the foamy one require a certain kind of glue?
@@lindabeckman3053 not really. Some adhesive tapes won't work well but if I adhere the glue/tape to the back of the paper and then attach the foam, it works better.
I'm guilty of keeping packaging etc with this idea in mind, only not to reach for it as it's now out of sight. Thx for the reminder 😉 You had gorgeous results. Tfs & take care 🌺
Ces idées sont très intéressantes pour recycler et avec de super rendus!👍 J'adore le rendu avec l'arc en ciel et le papier-bulle 😍 Thank you very much Natacha 😘
Hi Natasha. An amazing video. I love the purple and blue background made with the scrunched brown paper as well as the bubble wrap rainbow backgrounds. I love the texture the packaging foam provides. I loved the look of that "netting" paper but must say the prints of it freaks me out because it looks like a snake skin texture. I'm looking forward to seeing your card creations made with all of these backgrounds. TFS. 💙🤗
Thanks Natasha. They are lovely. Could you do a video using some of the backgrounds please? My creative processes get stumped after I make all these things. Thank you.
These are awesome Tash! I can't pick a favorite either. I have saved all that packaging in my mixed media drawer so I'm going to have some fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
I would love to see the final cards you made with these. My imagination is just spinning!
Those white foam sheets make the best die-cut clouds and snowflakes! If you dry brush some gesso on them they get this great look.
Thanks
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS BACKGROUNDS!!! You must stay up all night thinking of these beautiful ideas!!! Thank you!!😊
The sheer delight you show in your voice bring joy to my heart and makes my creative juices run wild! Love to watch and rewatch your videos. Thank you, Natasha!🥰🫂
I also use these packaging materials like stamps. I have dedicated storage for all my “irregular” (not bought, trash to most people 😊) stamps. My husband can’t believe I don’t throw these things out. Hoping you will show us your card creations using these backgrounds. Super fun! TFS
Haha, I also have a box of ' trash' to use with my gellplate. It works great:-). Good to know that I'm not the only one ;-)
Me too ladies! I can’t bear to throw out good useable trash. It makes such great designs. Wet wipes are also a great resource. I save the ones that I just use for wiping my hands or face. I then wash them in a laundry bag or pillow slip let them dry and keep them for my card making. Wet or dry they make some stunning patterns. Add ink directly to them and then press to card. If you wet them first the inks will bleed and blend into each other, you can get some great affects. So I add them to my trash box too. Happy crafting ladies. Hugs from Australia ❤️❤️🐨❤️❤️
Isn't it fun to just use what many see as rubbish, and come up with creative "magic"? Wonderful. Thanks
You are amazing. I would never think of this idea. WELL DONE and thank you so much for sharing
Never throw anything away! lol! Great backgrounds. TFS!
Hi. Lol, the only problem with that thinking is that one can be accused of being a hoarder! 😂
That corigatated paper is PERFECT for lines!! Omgosh I have some too!! Awesome technique 👏
When you pulled the print from the "fishnet" product it reminded me of diamond plate you see on pickup running boards, tool boxes, etc. If done in silver it could made a great guy card.

I can't wait to see what Cards you make out of them. So Awesome!
Beautiful background Natasha! I have try some of these technique before. Thank you for sharing.❤
would love to see your craft space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! I have a very small craft area and I am always interested in how others manage in small places.
Me too!!
Great patterns. I have almost all of the packaging so must get out my Gelli plate for a play.
My family think I have lost the plot when I grab things like these for my crafting. TFS and I look forward to seeing what you do with these backgrounds.

Hi Natasha, I think you are so clever. I often feel I need to make elaberate cards but I love yours. Many thanks, Judy from South Australia. x
Wow Natasha, how creative are you. Absolutely amazing. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
I would love to see more of your ideas on using packaging this way. I have tons of it but had never thought of using it this way! Thanks for sharing!

Nice to see items recycled, reused. I think the corrugated card with the ink on would make a great background for a tag.
Love these ideas thank you x
You always have good things to share. AND you help me get out of my crafty doldrums
I thought that net stuff would be good for cards so kept some when i got a parcel wrapped in it. Great ideas!
I bet you could also use some of the stiffer materials with the Simon Hurley foam blocks as yet another technique. Not that you need any more!
And I would love to see a video of you turning these into cards. I know you have many of them, but it always helps me. Background-making sessions are so fun, but then they just tend to linger in a bag forever.
It's been filmed, edited and will be up soon! Glad to hear you enjoyed this one, but I agree, making them into cards is important (for me) too!
It's amazing how much we can make with WASTE items. Thank you for sharing all these great ideas. Take care and stay safe.
You are amazing! So creative. Beautiful! Thank you Natasha 🥰🥰🥰
Awesome techniques for beautiful cards!!! 😍
You are amazing…. Great effects…love your energy. 👍💕❤️🐶🇬🇧

Your imagination never. Eases to amaze me! Love these techniques.

The every which way corrugated background is so simple yet eye catching! Thank you for the inspiration 👏
I got a parcel yesterday with a huge amount of the polystyrene foam. It went straight into my craft room 🤣
Mind Blown! You are amazing, Natasha.
Genius! I will be diving into my Recycle Bin for sure!
Oh please do a series of videos on each piece you have such interesting tequniques.
SO SO BEAUUUUTIFUL ❣️❣️❣️
I have used the bubble wrap also and absolutely love using it. I never used the others I have to try it. Thank Natasha for sharing and hope to see what you come up with when making your cards.
As someone who makes junk journals, these packaging are my way to go, nothing escapes! Great patterns and ideas.
Amazing textures from the stuff we usually throw into the recycling bin! Thank you
Natasha, you are so very creative!! Love all your ideas!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Brilliant! I am a bit of a hoarder of these junk items and you have shown some wonderful ways to use them.
Me too. I had so much I finally sorted and threw away a bunch.
Love those backgrounds. I never would have thought to use some of that for making a card background.
I wish I could think like Natasha, lol.
Gelli print hint - if you use tissue paper or a thin paper like (non-silicon) baking/grease proof paper, you can take the paint from between the holes in the net-like wrapping, which will allow more contrast between the background colour & the netting effect to show through. Works really well when printing leaves & petals & things too. Allows you to get into the spaces better than printer paper does. And of course makes a great collage paper or background in itself as you get the opposite effect from what’s on your gel plate
I don't know were you get all your ideas from ! You're a weel of Inspiration!
totally loved this! what i particularly like is the variety of effects with minimal/no tools & machines. such an inspiration to use what you have -- & to recycle 😊
I also use the packing foam as layering underneath my embellishments or sentiments to add depth and dimension.
Great idea, thanks for sharing! We live in a small town with limited recycling, so I end up trashing more than I’d like to. Now I can reuse more of it, so thanks again! Does the foamy one require a certain kind of glue?
