Looking for an eco-friendly way to wrap your holiday presents? Consider wrapping them in maps! Grab that out-dated atlas or road map out of your car (you know you’ve got three in there) and start tearing out the pages. For larger presents you can just tape pages together, and for smaller presents, one page will due. It’s the perfect way to add a bit of crafty recycling to every present! (source)

Blind and texture embossing techniques
If you are a fan of adding subtle elements to your art this idea for embossing shapes and textures could be just the technique you will want to try. I haven’t had much success in the past but the tips included in the post over at The Curious Printmaker on how to blind emboss just might turn that around.
This artist makes sets of stationery out of all kinds of maps — vintage, subway, you name it. Very cool!
