It all came about when I was putting my gifts to go to Grandma's and there was no way to pack the gifts together without crushing the bows, Those common bows that made your presents look like cookie-cutter presents without any personality made it impossible to pack all the presents together without ruining the bows.
So, the idea of decorating presents with used cards was born, and our load of presents we take to Grandmothers now are busting with personality.
It's always fun to decorate packages with my daughter, matching cards to paper, and styles to the recipient's personality; Mom gets traditional or religious cards with regal colored papers, my brother gets world peace themes, my sister always has stars, the kids get Smowmen and Santas, etc. Even photo cards can be reused like this photo of my neice I used on a gift for her cousin, the mittens paper is the perfect background for the pic.
Here are some more of my favorites this year:
 |
| Sparkly pointsettas :o) |
 |
| This card is a perfect match for this paper. |
 |
| Winter scene cards are perfect for snowflake paper. |
 |
| The sled with mitten paper for a child's gift. |
 |
| My brother is always craching jokes, so this joker-style stocking is perfect.  Merry Christmas, everyone!
