I love this idea! I used to keep allll my holiday cards but I never did anything with them. These are so cute and useful I might have to get that same die! Great job!

@TheMistressT, it is! It is like fussy cutting…but with paper!
@AIMR It’s funny you mentioned the ribbon. I have a little, and it’s a supply I don’t use often, so it was nice to use some of it up! What is a card bowl?
@Whistlefish, I think you should, too! It’s fun! Thank you.

I really like the truck ones, especially the two on the far left.
I made a few of these in the dead place for swaps…I have patterns that came from a vintage craft book…basically, you use old cards doubled up and then strung or crocheted together…the hardest part is cutting the holes…I use a template so that there are matching holes and a single hole punch…

Oh, that is really cool.
How funny, I’ve been eyeing the Christmas cards on the fridge thinking I need to get put my tag punch too!
I like the added ‘stitching’ on the borders!

I punched some tags yesterday. My favorites are tags featuring LittleBookLover’s picture from this year’s Christmas card. It’ll be pretty obvious who those gifts are for come next year

Those tags are lovely!
I should use this idea. I have kept hundreds of cards from many years.
@AIMR, I remember my mother teaching me how to make boxes with lids out of christmas cards in that same technique when I was little. We used a big needle to punch the holes.

Love the second set as well!
I bought some gold photo corners to recycle some of them into new cards…I got the idea from @PhoenixFireDesigns card that she sent me this year…some cards are just too pretty to cut up…

Awesome! Glad I helped inspire an idea. I love finding ways to upcycle something.
These tags by the way are such a simple, but genius idea.
