Stop....don't throw away money! This year you might want to try this....

What's a girl to do with a huge pile of beautiful cards each year!!!! A few years ago I was looking at a beautiful card, kind of like this one, that I had gotten from a church member and didn't want to just throw it away, it seemed wasteful. So here's what I came up with.....repurpose them :)

Here's  3 ways.

Gift tags-

Bookmarks-

  And you could write a verse on the back  about how He stands at the door and knocks.

Gift card holder/ornament on tree-

I tape the gift card to the back of the ornament for a cute surprise Christmas morning. 

You can do this with Birthday cards too!

 The instructions are pretty self explanatory. You'll need a whole punch, crafting scissors and ribbon and that's it.

 Pick your scene, make sure there's no writing on the back of the area you choose and cut, punch and put the ribbon through. Done, done and done! 

It's a two for one, no more Christmas card clutter from years gone by and I also save money on tags. Hope you have a holly, jolly time crafting and saving :)

( I like to save the part of the card folks have actually written on for sentimental reasons but repurpose everything else. )
