Kindle cover cards

A few weeks ago I bought a Kindle with some birthday money. It came in a sturdy box which I found yesterday and thought I'd put it in the recycling bin, but when I opened up the sleeve that had been around the Kindle I discovered the the inside was black with kraft letters on it - far too good to put into the recycling bin:



So I made two cards, just using black cards blanks and some kraft paper:



These are for:

CRAFT 176: monochromatic (the first card)
Sentimental Sundays 124: black/white + another colour
Card crafters circle: black, white and one other colour
Crafty Ann 76: black and white + one other colour
Tanda teaser 202: all things manly
Card mania 5: happy birthday (second card)
Lollipop crafts 92: happy birthday (second card)
Alphabet: R for recycle, repurpose
Unstampabelles 16: recycled or repurposed
Perfect sentiments 53A: happy birthday

    Great cards Hazel and a great bit of recycling too - you're quite right, it was far too good for the re-cycling bin! Thank you for joining us at Crafty Ann's

    Great use of the packaging. You're right, it was far too good to just put in the recycle bin. Thanks for playing at UnstampaBelles.
