All of those Christmas and holiday cards you received this season are much too nice to just toss after the holidays so here are some more ideas for repurposing them.
Ornaments. Cut your lovely cards into ornament shapes. Glue back to back and punch a hole in the top for ribbon and turn your cards into ornaments for next year.
Holiday candles. Shop the after Christmas sales and turn generic candles into holiday ones by gluing scenes cut from holiday cards onto them.
Table decorations. Recycle your holiday cards by cutting them into strips for disposable napkin rings or laminate a collection of cards for fun placemats.
Simple boxes. Cut and fold greeting cards to make tiny gift boxes.
I’m sure the possibilities are endless so let us know how you repurpose your cards and we’ll share your tips here!

Tags: Design of the Week, Greeting Cards, personalized greeting cards, Recycled Cards, Sympathy Cards I just love receiving holiday cards each year but what do you do with them when the decorations come down?
Here are some suggestions:
Recycle. Cut them up to use them as gift tags or package decorations next year. Or, donate them to charities that can put them to good use.
Thank You Cards. Cut the cover off and fold it in half to use as thank you notes for all those Christmas gifts. Trim to fit envelopes found at office supply stores.
Keepsakes. Many cards make great keepsakes, especially photo cards. Make a collage of those saved over the years for a great surprise gift for someone special.
Original Art. Cut up pieces of cards and paste them together to form a beautiful mosaic masterpiece.
Mailing Lists. Remember to update your mailing lists, editing changes of address and adding new contacts.

With little effort you can make a big difference to those serving our country. A soldier in Iraq can’t see your ribbon, Through the organization, Any Soldier, you can actually pick the names and addresses of soldiers serving overseas to send your cards to. Go to www.anysoldier.com for a list of soldier’s names and addresses and information on How to Send and Where to Send your cards. Letters are the most requested items and can be sent with a regular first class stamp. As the site warns, it may be addictive. You may want to consider ordering bulk quantities of personalized Patriotic Holiday Cards from CardsDirect for sending to soldiers. CardsDirect will donate a portion of proceeds on three of these card designs to the organization For The Troops. The three designs were especially selected by Brooke Burke, winner of Dancing with the Stars when she partnered with CardsDirect on a recent holiday card drive for troops overseas. Any holiday card you select is sure to be welcomed by Any Soldier.
