    You wanna know something, you have a wonderful talent, and this is something my mom bless her beautiful heart and soul would have really appreciated,, this is just so much fun and easy to do,, my mom was always doing some sort of craft to use up cards etc and then would turn around and teach others how to make them just to keep busy and volunteer her time,,, you should be very proud of yourself,, mom is looking down on you im sure and thinking good for you 👍 ❤️

      What a beautiful thing to say. I would have loved to meet your Mom, she sounds wonderful! I lost my Mom a few years back and when memories of her come flooding back I'm elated. I thank you for sharing your love of your Mother with me. And thank you so much for watching! Have a wonderful New Year!

    I like that idea, I’ve been using my old cards as gift tags, most can be cut into tag shapes and still have a nice picture.

    Love this idea! I think I will cut the edge of the finished card with pinking shears or another decorative edge pair of scissors that I have.

    • @18AcresHomestead
      @18AcresHomestead  11 месяцев назад +2

      That's a great idea! I don't have any pinking shears, maybe I should get some for next year, hehehe! Thank you so much for watching! Have a blessed day!

    Very clever. One of the teens in our extended family prefers $$ this year. I really didn't want to have to buy a special money holder card for him. I'm going to do this. Thanks for the idea!

    • @18AcresHomestead
      @18AcresHomestead  11 месяцев назад +9

      My oldest grandson wanted cash, and I have a few others that would prefer money over a gift. And why not save money if I can, right? I'm glad that I could help. I pray you enjoy making them as much as I did. Thank you so much for watching! Have a blessed evening!

    Very clever. I would use contrasting gift paper for the 'pocket'. Another use instead of inserting money or gift card, you could use the pocket to insert a message.

    For a perfectly smooth edge after trimming the gift wrap on the card base, smooth the edge with a sanding block or emery board.
    This was a good recycle project.💜🐞

    I like the idea to be able to recycle Christmas cards or any cards. Like for the grandkids birthday money. We get so many cards at the thrift store that have no envelopes that can be used for something like this. Also a person can use up their little pieces of wrapping paper.

    • @18AcresHomestead
      @18AcresHomestead  11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, one of the reason I started to make them. You could even make envelopes from the wrapping paper if you wanted to. Thanks so much for watching! Have a wonderful New Year!

    Thank you for the idea. As for that Gizmo that you were using as a bone folder, I'm pretty sure that it is a letter opener. I think that that pointy end would go into an envelope, and then I have an idea that there is a razor blade at the end of that pointy end that would slit the envelope open.

    That is a great project! And since you don't have an envelope, you can attach a narrow ribbon to the edge and tie it in a bow to keep the card closed. Use a hole punch near the edge to run the ribbon through.

      I cut the fronts off and use them for thank you cards or postcards (saves a bit on postage, just be sure they fit USPS criteria for size), to decorate Christmas packages (a friend taught me that 30 years ago - she would wrap with paper grocery sack then decorate with pretty card front, ribbons. cinnamon sticks, star anise - just whatever she had on hand, always recycling!), Christmas cards for next year (using card stock, stamps, embellishments), etc.

    Nice idea. I heard recently that there's a scam with a number of gift cards and the person online was recommending people just give cash and not buy gift cards, and that people usually like cash better. This is a nice way to present that.

    Without envelope’s ? You could use the stick on velcro / hook and loop buttons OR a little ribbon you can tie in a bow.
    I also use up old cards to make pillow shaped gift boxes for small gifts and, or by adding a ribbon you can hang them on your tree with a chocolate inside.
    As a child one of my jobs was to use pinking shears to make the usual gift tags, me and my mum would do this as we took down the cards and trimmings. I am 67 and that was a lovely memory . Thank you for helping it to resurface.
