I make gift cards from the old greeting cards too ..... fold as you like, and then line up with my quilting rulers and run the rotary cutter along. Nice and straight and square!
Sometimes I use the picture ... and sometimes I use the verse on the inside as the front of the new gift card. I'm able to make teeny-tiny cards, to some fair sized ones. I always have far more made, than the gifts I need them for. They give me lots of choices, so I can personalize it to the person who will receive it. |
This is a great idea!!! Love the mug rug!!
Could even make a Christmas lap quilt with them!! |
I have saved my cards for yrs & reuse the front. I print a new card with my own wording & glue front on. Love doing that.... But sometimes you can buy cute cards really cheap...
|
I save all my cards until Nov. of the next year.I cut them up and add to a big frame.They hang them on my wall by the door to show off.
|
Your ideas are just in time- I was about to throw out all those cards. Now I know what to do :)
|
Good idea. I saved my dull pinking and wavy blades for my rotarty cutter to use on paper.
|
My DD did that this Christmas and her gift labels were beauitful!! Am thinking about doing the same thing but using my Accucut Go dies....I have the circle and star dies which would be just perfect!
|
I like to take the prettiest ones and make small boxes out of them. Some I hang on my Christmas tree for ornaments
|
Please don't replace CHRIST with an X. I know it is quicker, but it doesn't take much more time to type Christmas.
Thanks, Kathy |
