Good Morning All
I would love to know if or how you all recycle used cards. Last year it was my OH 60th birthday so you can imagine he received some lovely cards. As you know, I hate throwing anything away, and some of my neighbours give me their old birthday and Christmas cards to re-use. Anyway, this card I am showing you today, was given by John next door and you can see the original card here John Next Door. Please hop over and have a look as John is quite new to blogging!!!
This is what I made with the card.

With cards that I cannot use anything from, I will just use the plain side of the card for matting and layering or die cutting shapes from,' waste not want not ' is my motto.
Please leave me a comment and tell me what you do with used cards. I shall look forward to reading what you all have to say. Infact, as I sit here thinking about this post, I will send some crocheted flowers and hearts to the one that I think is the most useful or inventive!!!!

Great idea Wendy, especially over here in Spain where craft stuff is hard to get hold of. We have had rain and wind for the past 3 days and i am getting bored with it now.

Brilliant shaped car I have a lot of card bits I keep them in folders and uses them for layering Ginny x
Hi Wendy I love your recycled card I bet your brother in law will too xx
I punch flowers stars etc from the glittery bits on cards, I use my nesties to cut around images, I pull ribbons and bows off, I cut around sentiments, retype verses and use the backs of cards to stick my thinner patterned papers on to make them strong enough to punch or emboss.
Brilliant recycled card...x
