Rather than leave it in the box, I decided to make a little house out of it. :D
I used the template I saved from my teeny tiny house. Then I just cut up the card to make the house and the roof. I love the silver tree! I even like how the inside of the card made "wallpaper" for the interior of the house. Each time I look inside I will see who sent me the card.
I think I'll go look in my card box again to see what else I can find that would be good for minis!
That is so adorable. Now I wish I saved some cards.
ReplyDeleteI'm not good at throwing beautiful things in the trash - that's way I'm saving an amount of christmas cards, too... but I would never have the idea of crafting with them. This little card house is a brilliant idea!

What a lovely idea. You could end up with a tiny village of such cards. Thank you for the idea! I usually recycle my pretty cards by either making them into gift tags or mounting them onto fresh blanks - but your idea is SO much better.
