Christmas Cleanup: What to do with your cards

Posted on

031.jpgWe’re finally taking down all of our decorations today and I’m taking a few minutes during the cleanup to do something nice for Next December Sarah. It’s also a very “green” thing to do as it resuses materials. I go through all the Christmas cards and sort them into ones I want to keep (intact-usually photocards) and ones that I like the pictures on. Then I cut them up so that next year I can turn them into gift tags. So many cards are so pretty or funky that I’d like to see the image again, and this is a good way to do so. Plus, then you have really creative and nice tags. So don’t just toss those cards-repurpose them!

About Sarah

I'm a librarian living with my lovely family in a gorgeous spot of New Jersey, where we raise chickens and love the outdoors. I try to find enough time to indulge all my hobbies-cooking, photography, gardening, sewing, and I write about it all on my book blog & personal blog.

  2. So clever! I saved some thinking I could use them to decoupage, inspired by you. But I fear the paper may be too think and sturdy. What do you think, expert decoupager?
