Reuse those Holiday Cards...

I unpacked all our Christmas decorations this past weekend following the Black Friday madness that was Target.  And stumbled upon a large, rubber banded stack of Christmas cards received in 2009.  I went through them, setting aside the photo cards from the cards with graphic fronts and thought of what to do with the later.

Then it hit me. 

Gift tags.

Supplies:
Holiday cards
Circle punch (square would work too, really anything- be creative)
Scissors
Hole punch
To/From tag- optional
Stamp Pad- optional
Ribbon

I punched out particularly nice areas of the card and then stamped the "To/From" (from the $1 bin at Michaels', by the way) and hole punched the top so I can easily add them to each package using curling ribbon.  Or you could omit the punch and just tape them on.

Have fun! 

What are some green ways you celebrate the holiday/advent season?
