Re-use those lovely note cards - Tutorial

I never have the heart to throw away the wonderful cards I received from friends, family, customers and swap partners. I also always run out of cards to send to those people as well.
This is why I decided to start re-vamping cards I have received into treasures that I can send out again.
Re-use, re-cycle, re-love!



What you will need:

Old Cards
Card stock
Glue
Stamps, letter stickers etc

Start with measuring out one of your cards and cutting a few new cards out of your card stock. I was lucky enough to pass by a garage sale and find an old gentleman getting rid of a nice variety of card stock.



Fold and score the new cards



Select a card that you would like to use to create your new cards, I picked this funky colourful polka dot card.



And then I cut out the funky dots



I decided to stamp the word "Thanks" on my cards, but you can do anything you like



Here I cut a note card into strips for a funky block style new card



The best part about this is that really anything goes!!!

For envelopes, I unglued one the envelope the original card came in and used it as a template.



I picked some large enough pages of old magazines I had received in a supply swap to make my new envelopes out of and traced the template on them.



Cut and glue!



and TA DA!!!
New note cards to send out to the world!!!

You can recycle all of your Christmas cards this way and be ready to send them out next Holiday season!!!



Enjoy!!!
