Reuse Christmas Cards

Wow, I have to tell you… my daughter and I couldn’t stop making Christmas cards! We wanted to do more, but then we decided we have done enough for this year! I have a huge; I mean huge box load of cards from the last 15 years! Some are easy to scrap, others are complicated, but we won’t give up!

Next Christmas, we’re going to do things a “little'” bit differently, you’ll see! hehe

I used the “velour” ribbon to make dots.

I used Cricut Graphically Speaking for “snow”

I added stocking sticker & ribbon over the existing stocking (Santa’s hand)!

I added glittered ornaments to one of the trees (far right).

Cut out a “window” and a wreath over an existing card.

See the polar bears in the sleigh?! Looks like one of them is peeking! :)

Cut a card into squares to resembles a window.

Added the glitter on the star.

My daughter cut the triangles and created a “star”.

Christmas and snowflake collage.

My daughter cut this angel (way too detailed for my eyes) and added the glitter!

My daughter did the detailed cut out and added the glitter!

Cut three circles and glued them together!

I used Cricut Plantin Schoolbook to make tiny bags for tea lights to give to neighbors. Bag stands 3 1/4” tall… so cute! And cut out stocking for name tag!

My daughter cut out the reindeer & star and added the glitter. She used Swirls & Curls (PR1002) stamp using the color of cranberry ink! So pretty! Nice job, Samantha!

I tore a few pieces of paper for “snow” and added the glitter. Now that looks real! ;)

I used snowflake punch.

Aren’t they fun to look at?

You know, you’re not alone… we need help getting ideas, too, so we searched in Google and Pinterest to get tips!

Not that bad, it was FUN especially doing it with a friend or with family.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a prosperous 2012 New Year!

I have so many projects I want to show you and I’ll do my very best to come back more often next year! Cross your fingers… ;) hehe!
