I have two card creations to donate to the drive and show you today that are made from recycled Christmas cards. Recycling is also near and dear to me.
For this card I cut the manger scene out with the Creative Memories circle cutter and added a jute bow. The inside message was cut out too and added to a piece of brown card stock that I folded and cut to look like ribbon.
For this card, I used my circle cutter again and attached the wreath to this beautiful shimmery gold card stock. For a little more sparkle, I and added a few red rhinestones to some of the holly berry clusters on the wreath.
On the back of each card I added the original card information so the recipients can see who the illustrations were made by.

My whole life my mom made gift tags out of the Christmas cards we received. Unfortunately, most folks just don't send Christmas cards anymore, so her stash is running low. But your cards bring back special memories for me :)
