Reuse Christmas cards — yep, that’s right. I don’t know about you but I love sending and receiving Christmas cards. Each received card is a little treasure and it’s a crying-shame to throw them away. But wait, we don’t have to throw them out or box them away in our closets. Deanna from Crafty Crafts By Deanna shows us how to transform this year’s Christmas cards into next year gift tags and card fronts. Deanna uses dies and a die cutting machine to create festive gems.
Here’s the original video by CraftersTreats2017 that inspired Deanna’s crafting. In her video, Angelica uses punches and even a mailer to create some great tags and card elements. You’ll find a inspirational nugget or two.
I hope that these videos encouraged you to reuse your Christmas cards instead of putting them into a recycling bin. Keep in mind, that these ideas apply to any card not just Christmas cards. Do you already repurpose cards?
