Do you have a bunch of odds and ends Christmas cards left over from the days when you sent out cards you bought in boxes? If so, this tip is for you! Use those cards as your card base for making your Christmas cards. In this case, there was a sentiment in the center of all the greenery that I didn't care for. So, I covered it up with a strip of red paper and then added a stamped focal (clear mini stamp from Inkadinkadoo). Quick and easy card - and you even have a ready-made saying inside if you like it! (If you don't like it, just cover it up with coordinating paper and add your own.)
Tip: Don't have leftover cards? For an inexpensive card base, you can buy a box of cards at the dollar store and use them!

Great idea! I actually cut apart cards I receive (not handmade ones) and use certain parts of it for cards whenever I need to make a quick one.
Thanks for another great card idea. I make cards for myself, my mother-in-law and LeRoys biological mother. So I have lots to make and this would be a help.
