This year I'm not buying cards but I'm sending them out

**imagine** · 11-15-2009, 04:20 PM

This year I'm using all those cards that are leftover. You know the two or three from the package you used in past years .

If there isn't an envelope that matches I'm going to make a envelope or send that card to someone that I'm sending a package.

Then I'll look for next years cards then they are on Clearance.

Great idea!! We all have those leftovers, that seem to get repacked away every year!! Good for you!!

I have many extra christmas cards. I have made bookmarks out of them. Good for you for using up your old cards.

I've done this the past 2 years..and will continue for several more, I LOVE to buy cards and then i used to design my own and make those..sigh..so now we're using up what we got and including a picture of the kids..instead of a photo card..

I've done this for the past 2-3 years and STILL have a ton left over. If I mail any it will be the leftovers. No sense in buying any.

I'm using leftover cards too......found them when cleaning out a dresser drawer!

I've done this. Sometimes it was hard to remember if I sent a particular card to a particular person.

I figure if I can't remember, then they probably can't either.

This is a GREAT idea! I'm sure I've got several left over that I could do this with. Thanks for the suggestion

Good for you! I'm weird that I don't like to send the same card twice. But I did join a swap elsewhere where we are collecting up all of our leftovers and trading them, so we have a different assorted variety!

I've tried to set up a swap like but I can't seem to get people interested .
