Recycled 2007 Christmas Cards

For several years, I have tried to recycle as many cards as possible. Here are three that I made this year from last year's cards we received. The blue card is made to fit a business size (4 x 9.5 inches) envelope.

Hanging Treasure

These cards are my version of "Hanging Treasure" on page 40 of Elizabeth Moad's book, QUICK & CLEVER CHRISTMAS CARDS. I used DCWV's Glittered Winter Mat Stack and their Winter Box of Cards as the backgrounds (I split the cards in half then trimmed them down to fit) on white cards from JoAnns Craft Essentials. Unfortunately, the glitter doesn't show well when scanned into Paintbox. I also made some red cards, for a total this year of 115 cards, 75 of which I made today.

Christmas 2008 Cards

Here are some of the Christmas cards we made today at Donna's and Emily's Stampin' Up Card Gallery. Sorry, the glitter and embossing don't show up on scanned photos.
