Using Greeting Cards for Scrapbooking
I cut and save the fronts of all of my received greeting cards. These are great for scrapbooking. I use my scissors to cut flowers words, scenes, tiny birds, holiday scenes etc. It saves so much money.
A really cool thing is my local thrift shop sells bundles of old greeting cards for 75 cents! Some of these old cards have beautiful prints and illustrations. These can also be used to make new cards to send.

I use the cereal box bags tool. I use them to freeze veggies and fruits. this bag is heavy enough to keep foods from freezer burn.

Tip: Using Greeting Cards for Scrapbooking
This is what we do with old greeting cards. We want to keep the memories so when we do scrapbook pages, we cut pictures from some of our old greeting cards people have sent us. For example an old Easter card from my sister became the pictures of bunnies for kids memory page.

I'm wondering if these greeting cards are acid free? (05/20/2009)

RE: Using Greeting Cards for Scrapbooking
I do this too, the cards are too great not to reuse. I had a great tweetie one that my sis in law sent me on year. Then I found that I had two pics of her daughters when they were babies wearing tweetie clothing so I made a scrapbook page of them and used the card. I also take cards that have like a really pretty border and then words in the middle, cut out the words and put a picture behind the card and then into a frame and it becomes a great mat for the picture.

Save old greeting cards to use in scrapbooking, either for the poem or for the heading of a page.

RE: Using Greeting Cards for Scrapbooking
I have many times kept greeting cards that are just beautiful. As a scrapbook artist/store owner (Let's Scrap in Florida), I can tell you that you are able to use them in your scrapbooks. However, you have to spray them with "Make it Acid Free" spray. This helps neutralize the paper for better storage. It guarantees that the card and/or anything that comes in contact with it will be safe from yellowing or deteriorating. All you do is follow the directions on the bottle. Mist both front and back and allow to dry. Best of Luck!
