Inside: how to make gift card giving a fun and personal experience! This post has a sponsored link to a website, meaning I was paid to promote it but did not test or review any of the products in it and so this post is not to be considered as a recommendation.

Inside: smart ways to use all your old cards from the holidays. Instead of throwing them away reuse and re-purpose them ! This time of year we all have many cards around the house. On one hand I always feel really bad throwing them away because people took the time to pick them, write something and then send them but on the other hand I don’t really want to keep them because it’s just a card with a few words like I get every year and if I keep them all I’ll need another room… Lol So I started thinking if keeping them or throwing them were my two only options… apparently not! WAYS TO USE OLD CARDS KEEP THEM Keep cards from special events like a wedding or Bar-Mitzva as a piece of family history to show your children or grandchildren.

Inside: how to make amazing cards with special effects Even in this era of sending cards via the internet on on your mobile phone I still prefer getting real handmade physical cards. I consider myself a modern girl, I have an account on almost every social media platform I know my way around a smart phone and a computer but there is something about opening your mail box and seeing an envelope of something other than a bill and then opening that envelope and finding a card that was made with love just for you. I love that feeling…don’t you? MAKING CARDS WITH SPECIAL EFFECTS The next best feeling, or maybe even the best feeling is not receiving the card but making it!
