They are starting to come... all of those fun Christmas Cards! I love getting Christmas cards... especially from people I haven't seen in a long time! I used to throw them away at the end of the year.... gasp! But a couple of years ago, I decided to save them. It's fun to see how families change and grow over the years. And it also helps me to not forget someone on my Christmas card list.
I didn't want to put them in a photo album... I wanted to save some space. So, I made an envelope to put them in. I used my Platin Schoolbook Cartridge on my Cricut and cut out an envelope. To make it big enough to hold all of my cards, I actually sewed two 12x12 pieces of cardstock together to make a 24"x12" piece of paper. Then I cut the envelope as big as it would go! The sewing is on the back and it adds a cute effect.
Last year I jazzed it up a little by putting my own families photo card on the front.
I made a tie closure on the back by using 2 eyelets and a card stock circle.

If you don't have a cricut, you could find an envelope template online or just purchase a manila envelope and decorate it!-Anisa

Thank you for posting this totally awesome idea! You are so creative, and now I know what to do with all my christmas cards...that not so many people are sending out this year???? I'll have to do the manila envelope thing since I don't have a cricket. But I'll make it look cute.
