Lets get crafting......up-cycling your Christmas cards

Today we are welcoming the New Year, looking out my window its a dull, wet, New Years day so I decided what better way to make the most of some down time than to up-cycle our Christmas cards by making your very own personalised Christmas gift tags. Every year I say I will do this, and I never do. You don't have to be creative, its a great way to get the whole family together on a wet rainy day. Most importantly...you are saving the planet and saving yourselves money in preparation for Christmas. Lets get started! Gather all your lovely cards and select the ones that you can use the front designs to cut and shape into your gift tags. There are such beautiful cards out there now-a-days. One card can be used to create at least 2-3 gift tags. What you may need: Scissors A hole punch Left over ribbon or gift wrap A ruler, pen or pencil Optional: Selection of rubber stamps & ink pad Decorations Plate or shape to use as an outline/guide for cutting If y
