Recycle Christmas Cards To Make Your Own

What you will see in these photos is a rough example to explain the idea. My result is the basic version. I made this tutorial so that you can use my idea to make many more imaginative cards!

You’ll be using old cards to create new, one of a kind, personalized ones to send to your friends and family. I hope you still have all those old Christmas, New Year, Birthday cards available!!

If you use my tutorial to create something, I’d love it if you took a photo of your end result, and posted it below for everyone to see!
