I make a lot of cards for charities so I like to start early! There are usually strict rules about no glitter, no embellishments, etc., so I've kept these guidelines in mind. The children receiving the cards may have varying religious beliefs so these cards reflect that as well.
I'll share each card separately. Products used are shown below.

Such sweet and adorable Christmas cards! Thank you for sharing with us at Cards in Envy.
I sent you an email, Fiki!
What a great idea and the cards turned out fabulously adorable Kitty, off to watch the video.
Well done Kitty on your re-cycling your Christmas cards...they all turned out fantastic...
When my sister comes to visit me during the summer she brings me all of her old Christmas cards and they do come in handy....
thanks for sharing your technique.
These are very sweet. I've tried recycling Christmas cards but I always feel like I'm cheating on all the stamps and supplies I have. I think you have the perfect mix of tools/supplies and already made card toppers.
Awesome to use the cards again, way to much is wasted. You did a wonderful job.
They look like new. Who can tell they are reused!
Wonderful use of your recycled cards! They are adorable! Thanks for sharing them with us over at Cards in Envy ~ Annie

All are fantastic and so cool that you used recycled things to create them.
Great job of repurposing and if I had to pick...nope, can't do it! Like them all as will the ones receiving. Thanks for sharing on the PIP blog this week.
Super cute cards, great recycling. it's hard to pick just one. so I won't even try. Fab. job.
I think recycling is a wonderfull idea, it is so lovely all cards, hard to pick one I like best, lots of hugs and love, cuddles to your furbabys, xxx, Marion
These are fantastic! I'm gonna have to take a look at the cards I'm saving....much better than sitting in a box I'd say...
These are so adorable! What a great way to recycle old Christmas cards. I love how these will be used too.
