“What To Do With The Wonderful Greeting Cards You Receive”

Do you have piles of beautiful meaningful cards you’ve received but don’t know what to do with them?

Ribbon boards my daughter Susan made for me for my Greeting cards

These ribbon boards were such a wonderful gift to me one year from my daughter Susan. I have them hanging in my craft room and look at it and the cards daily. It makes me so happy. You’ve probably seen ribbon boards in the stores; maybe you have one;  maybe you’ve made them too. The ribbon is criss-crossed so the cards can fit nicely. Almost all the cards are from my children and their families.

Because I filled these boards I am now working on putting the cards I receive and also Tom’s cards in a 3-ring notebook, like the one pictured below.

A 3-ring binder was made to hold precious cards

I made this book when my mother-in-law became ill. She moved here from Arizona and we were so surprised and happy for her when she received so many get well wishes from her friends. I had 12 x 12 decorative paper I cut down and simply attached the cards to the paper with my ATG gun. I used our 3-hole punch and inserted the completed sheets to make the book.

All my other cards I receive I put in the drawers I showed you on my blog post on March 14, 2018. I don’t ever throw any papers or cards away. I save them, recycle parts of them to make cards I send to others. I use my stamps, stamp pads, embellishments and have fun creating many wonderful cards. Last year I made 100 of them and gave them as gifts, it’s one of my favorite things to do.

As you know we offer our 5 x 7 watercolor cards. I so much love sending those also.

Have fun sending your Get Well Wishes, Birthday greetings, etc. It’s so fun to care & share isn’t it?
