I really like the cookie cutter idea for gift tags. The most important thing is to keep the cards in a memorable spot - or next holiday season will roll around and the cards will be nowhere to be found! Melanie, Lydia, and Donna,

I've also seen a friend of mine use a collage of the cards as place mats (using poster board as the backing and then sealing the entire placemat with clear contact paper).

I have one friend who purposefully does not write in Christmas cards, so they can be more effectively recycled. She writes on a little piece of paper inside. I mean, that may be carrying it a bit too far, but... hey. :) Interesting idea. I have one friend who purposefully does not write in Christmas cards, so they can be more effectively recycled.

All the library employees brought in last year's cards and the kids had a card making bonanza! This year I've already saved cards for next year's projects. Thanks for sharing this tip - it's very cool! My 7 y/o did this at the library this year and had a blast!
