I've been very busy and creating fun ways to recycle Christmas cards. I have them on our family SCRAP blog (listed below). I don't make any money on this blog, it's just easier to share the photos this way. My goal is to open a SCRAP store. Anyway, I will be adding another ornament idea later after my camera charges. Just wanted to share with you.

I use the pretty, top part of the card (so long as there is no writing on the flip side of it) as tags for gifts and gift bags. It makes the gift look a lot jazzed up and decorated! Everyone loved my "tags" this past year!

Mine went to the burn barrel which then the ashes go to the compost heap.... unless there are photo cards, those we keep.

I am really pleased with this solution to two of my storage needs. So I offer this as an addition to your fine list of things to (re)do with christmas cards.

My Dad use to buy handmade Christmas tags made from cardstock and old Christmas cards... made by handicapped kids.. we loved them so much as children that I have started the tradition with my group of special needs homeschoolers group, we are always taking donations of old Christmas cards to make more tags to sell for the kids to have the experience of making a little of their own money. We will be making these all year long for next holiday season. It is so touching to see these kids proud of what they create! |

Great ideas - great blog. Love the idea to top a canning jar with a card - great idea especially for those soup or cookie mixes in a jar. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great ideas. I really like the Christmas card tree ornament. My Windy Pines cousin, Michele, uses Christmas cards for gift tags. She cuts them out with crinkle cut scissors in oval, circle, or rectangle shapes.

You have some cute ideas here regarding reusing Christmas cards. I have lots of Christmas cards but I use it mostly as bookmarks. Thanks for sharing your ideas Kristina. |

...ugh...so sorry. I see I already posted on here about this. I guess I've been a little stressed out lately.
