Repurposed Christmas Cards

I’ve been repurposing last year’s Christmas cards for years now. With a quick cutting and punching you can turn old Christmas cards into new gorgeous gift tags.
My friend M. gave me the cards on the right that she “inherited” from an older family member. I purchased the box of cards on the right at an after Christmas sale last January.
Using the cards that M. gave me, I simply cut them down with the paper trimmer.
I rounded the corners with a corner rounder, but I don’t do this to all the gift tags I make, just if the mood hits me.
I punched a hole and tied a piece of baker’s twine to the gift tag. I often use scraps of ribbon from other projects to tie to gift tags that I make.
I love being able to personalize the gift tags and I love doing my small part to make our family’s Christmas a little more earth-friendly green and spending a little less moolah green.
You can see some other gift tags I made and used on my Santa Sacks fabric gift bags.

super cute. love your cards! Thank you for linking it up at the party!
I’ve done this before, but mine weren’t as nice. Using a punch and stamping the back gives them an extra touch. I’ll have to try it again. Thanks for posting!
