I had a big bag of cards, I took out the best ones and cut up the rest. So many cute images to use for all kinds of crafting. Bookmarks, decoupage etc. I posted a picture. You have any other ideas?

Interesting topic. I like decoupage. How much have I done? None. But it's on my list of projects this year. So I have to vote for keeping your favorites for decoupage and etsy/ebay the rest.

I have a lot of ideas on my S.C.R.A.P. blog (canning jar toppers using thank you cards and greeting cards, bookmarks, ornaments, framed art, and more).
Here is one link: http://scrapreusedandrecycledartprojects.blogspot.com/search/label/Greeting%20cards

I've used old cards to make boxes. There are a couple different ways to do this and I'm sure there are directions on the Internet. My sister in law made some this year for small gifts and gift cards. They were really cute.

one of the things I loved in the 1960-s- early 1970's was cutting them & making them into 3-d balls (or ornaments)...they were always so pretty, another thing that I never did but had a woman friend do back then was punch holes into pattern pieces & crochet them together to make the prettiest bowls for light weight things.....I am sure there are directions somewhere on the web if you would like to try something new....have fun no matter what you do :)....michele'

I do that ALL the time and "upcycle" them into my papercraft cards, tags, ATCs and, like Luanne, scrapbooking.
If you have too many and wanted to you could offer some of them up in barter to some of these crafty, creative farmgirls.

I use them for scrapbooking - so much cheaper than buying scrapbooking embelishments at the craft store!
