When is a deck of cards more than a tool for bridge? When you make your own custom creations! Because the playing cards are heavy weight with a protective coating, they make verstaile decor and gifts! Think outside the card box!
Here are 11 ideas from the templates and friends:Chirstmas decor. The cute knick knack at the top of the blog is in the template gallery. Make 3 with one deck of cards and you have a special gift for teachers and co-workers.
We've Moved! Create a special "change of address" card for the new married couple or a move. Put your picture on one side and your new address on the other!
Graduation invitation inserts. Everyone inserts the name cards. Be different and insert a picture your family and friends will appreciate. They have helped you along the way, and they would love to share your success! Put a graduation picture on one side and the "Class of ..." on the other.
Family Go Fish or Old Maid. Use family photos to make a game the kids will never forget!
Family Fun Facts. This is another template in the template gallery. Help the kids get to know their heritage or pass them out at a family reunion and have everyone find the family member on the card!
Sports Playing Cards. Every kid wants to be the star. Decks of cards make an affordable option for creating a special trading card of your special athlete.
Gift Tags. Design your own gift tags that people will never forget!
Recipe Tags. When you make your Christmas goodies, attach a tag with the recipe on one side and a special message on the other (example: Merry Christmas from the Smith's Kitchen!)
Chore cards. Create your own chore chart by placing one chore per card. Hang it in a flat makeup bag and have the kids turn a card each time they complete a chore.
Prayer aids. Put a special saying, verse, or prayer aid on one side of the card and the name, address, phone number, etc. on the other and place them in the vestibule for visitors or give them out as a silent testimony.
Romance Cards. Put a picture of you and your husband on one side and one simple romantic idea (example: take a walk holding hands) on the other. When things get a little dull, just pull a card for a romantic moment! (Great for wedding gifts, too!)
Bookmarks. Use any of the ideas above or just put your favorite sayings and pictures on bookmarks for your friends. You can raise someone's spirits with a small act of kindness.
