Do Not Discard!
‘Tis the season for Christmas cards!
Here at the Simple Design Company, we are sending out your Holiday cards at a break neck speed. What a fun time of year, when we revert back to olden times, and give each other the gift of a real piece of paper filled with holiday cheer. In a digital world, we still believe a beautiful and meaningful card speaks volumes.
“But inevitably, we’re left with warm memories and a fridge covered in Christmas cards.”
But inevitably, after the flurries of the holiday when life returns to some semblance of normal, we’re left with warm memories and a fridge covered in Christmas cards. The question arises, what do we do with all these Christmas cards?
“What do we do with all these Christmas cards?”
A while ago, we asked our wonderful social media followers what they do with the Christmas cards they recieve, and here are some of the best ideas they had!
Punch a hole in the corner of your cards and keep them on a ring to flip through. (easily the most popular idea!)
Put them into a photo album so you can look back at your loved ones over the years!
Make a scrapbook with fun stories and designs for each card. (your kids will love helping you with this!)
Punch a hole at the top of your cards and tie it with a ribbon to use as Christmas tree ornaments.
Use a basket to collect your cards and keep on display. (we know how much your guests will love going through them!)
Tape your cards to a door way in your home to make a Christmas card garland!
Take a picture of the card and set it as their contact photo in your phone. It can be fun to update these pictures every year!
Clip your cards to a wire and make a Christmas card wreath!
Store your cards and pull one out every week of the year and dedicate that week to praying for the family or individual.
We’d love to know, have you tried any of these ideas? Do you have other ways to store your Christmas cards? We hope these ideas give you a start to treasuring your Christmas cards this holiday season!
Merry Christmas!
