crafty nesties needed!

Hey girls! First off, happy anniversary to this weekends nesties!!! Can't believe it's been a year already.

So, I've been organizing all my stuff in the new house and have tons and tons of greeting cards dating back to my first birthday and many holidays after that including bridal shower, engagement and wedding. They are overflowing in a drawer and I was just wondering if anyone had any creative ideas of what I can do with them.

 Thanks in advance!

Re: crafty nesties needed!

  • The only ones I have a good solution for are Christmas/Holiday cards. As long as nothing is written on the back of the "cover" (so to speak) I'll cut the Christmas scene or picture out with crafty scissors, like scrapbooking ones that make a fancy border, punch a hold in the corner and re-use as a gift tag. I haven't bought gift tags in years.

  • You could make a card book like this

    Or you could make gift tags, decorate plain gift bags or ornaments like at this site.

    Or you could send the fronts to the St. Jude's Ranch.  (note they cannot accept Hallmark, Disney or American Greeting cards)

    Happy crafting!

  • My aunt has saved all of her greeting cards throughout the years. It's so fun to look through them!

    She just takes the large scrapbooks and pastes the back side of the card to the page, that way it still flaps open and shut. If she still has the envelope, she pastes the back of the envelope down so that you can open up the envelope and completely take the card out.

    Good luck! 

  • I was thinking of cutting them and scrapbooking them with wedding pics but I do like the idea of just throwing them in a book! Good question I can't wait to see more answers because I just can't part with my shower or wedding cards!
  • thanks ladies, such great ideas I never even thought of!
