So I have seen this idea a couple times in blogland and the first time I saw it, I knew this easy peasy project was just for me. Do you keep your old Christmas cards every year?? I do. Don't have a clue why -- I do the same thing with birthday cards, I can't let go of them.
Well it's like I've kept them all these years JUST for this! All you need is a puncher outer thingy:
(Ignore my banged-up coffee table. I like to call it "rustic" a la The Bub.)
Grab a card:
You may have to do some trimming to get it to fit in the puncher right. I turn mine upside down to see what I'm punching. I do it on the floor too -- much easier to punch. (These things are a work out!!):
Voila!! Instant tags for next year! I even cut out some of the messages inside the cards:
Aren't they just ADORABLE?? Caaaauuute I say! I am dying to get my hands on more cards from this year. I'm trying to be patient and am keeping them up just a couple more days. Argh, I HATE delayed gratification!!
These were some of my favorites:
The puncher was originally about $15, but I got it half off. Otherwise, this is F.R.E.E. chickees! Have fun!
ALERT!! The puncher thingys are half off at Hob Lob this week! Run, don't walk!

**Edited to add: YES the photo cards make this harder -- I know they are easier people, but come on...I need tags!! BUT I forgot to mention that I took the puncher thingy to some of the cardboard gift boxes that were torn up. (The one's with a design on top.) Those are adorable too!
