Maria's Boxes
Here at Ranger HQ, we have a lovely woman named Maria who works in our Product Packaging department. During her breaks, she uses Ranger products (including Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers, Stickles and Liquid Pearls) to decorate the empty boxes that once contained our bulk #8 manila tags, and she makes them into something pretty to store her work supplies in. Maria makes them for her co-workers as well, and she is even making a "Congratulations" box for her daughter who is graduating high school this year! Check out some of Maria's handiwork; maybe it will inspire you to transform something that would normally be thrown away into something beautiful and useful!
Beautiful box! TFS

So cool. It's always nice to receive something in a pretty box and hand decorated is even better.

I like to take brown grocery bags and decorate them with inks, paint & stamps myself so guess now I'll be saving all those cardboard boxes.
thanks for sharing,

These are great boxes! I've been decorating shoe boxes for reusable gift boxes and also for storing things. I'd love to have some of these cool boxes to use!
