- A longer video but hopefully it will inspire you to use those BEAUTIFUL Christmas cards we get. You get to hear my chit chat with my youngest as he helps me and decides what to do with each card.

Don't limit yourself to tags & sentiments. I have dies such as the Tattered Lace Christmas sack, another of a sleigh, &, of course, houses, trees, twigs, hearts & other "Stuff". Don't be afraid to experiment. It's only waste paper, after all. The smallest scraps get turned into twigs, branches, birds, flowers & Christmas crackers, while larger pieces create really quirky pine cones & branches. I even cut out bicycles, planes & other vehicles. Where there are open spaces, I back the die cut with either organza or tissue paper - all saved from packaging, but every stash has teeny dies, which can be used to create a stash of small embellishments that can be used in shaker cards. I store mine in the tiny jam/honey jars provided when one goes out for afternoon tea. Also, I don't limit myself to Christmas cards, but use ALL greeting cards, with friends giving me their old ones rather than binning them. The remnants from die cutting all go into the Hugelbetten on my allotments where, being wood pulp, they break down into rich soil which holds water like a sponge; thus reducing the need for watering during summer. Very useful with climate change creating uncertain weather conditions. After about 12 years, the hugeln have mostly turned to soil which gets spread across allotment beds; the remaining tree trunks (usually well pitted by rose chafer or stag beetle larvae, which feed on rotting wood) become the base for new Hugelbetten, & topped, again, with old books, shredded bills &, of course, the remnants of die cut greeting cards. Within a year, most of these cards have turned to soil &, indeed, I've started planting this years potato crop in soil enriched last year with my card waste. It'll require NO watering which, as I'm disabled, is a boon.
That is a lot of really great ideas! I don’t limit myself to Christmas cards but just focused on them in this video.
I found you the other day and forgot to subscribe. I was so happy when your video popped up. What a great idea. I save some cards, but now I will save much more
I’m glad you found me again! Thank you
This might be a good idea for cards that we could buy after Christmas at a deep discount!
Yes some stores have great deals. Some as much as 95% off I’ve seen. Also thrift stores year around have boxes or bags of cards.
I don’t have the tag maker. I do reuse my cards for other things. Your results are lovely
Thank you for watching
Cute idea 💡
Now, I know what to do with my beautiful Christmas cards. 🤗🤗
Wonderful!
This is such a cute idea!
Thank you
clever idea
Thank you
What a great idea! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Such pretty cards! How do you use all the tags, etc.? Do you also create other things with the cards? I’ve made many things with Christmas cards and still looking for new ways to use them! One year I gifted several friends with an assortment of Christmas tags.
Having this many, I’ll bag them and give as gifts. I also make embellishments for cards with them. Next year I’ll let my kids use them to make cards.
@@tripleccreations2014 - with such great cards from you, they should be delighted! I look forward to seeing you make/share some of your embellishments! 💚
Check out my new video to see how I’m going to gift them!
