I love the tag making with the old card any time of the years, to me it adds a more personal touch to the gift. I try to match the tag to the paper/bag. I have also used the card front to place on plain boxes and then trim with ribbon. I have painted the box with a color, than glued the card on it. Around it, just had fun with it.
I want to recycle last years Christmas cards to send out this year as Christmas postcards. Just one question: the fronts of all my cards have an embossed image of a tree, a package, a star, etc. When I turn the card over to draw the center line between the message side and the address side the card is not smooth. Can I still use them or will the embossed image cause a problem with the postal service.

I don't see how the embossing could be a problem. From what I understand from a cousin who worked at the post office for several years the mail is fed into a machine that reads and sorts and if the machine can't read the address then it's spit out and hand sorted. I've turned Christmas cards (and other cards) into postcards for a few years and never had a problem.
