Yes, I did just use a line from <em>Transformers <\/em>but not the movie\u2026the only place real <em>Transformers <\/em>exist in my mind \u2013 the cartoon!<\/p>\n<p>Take any of those business Christmas cards you received this holiday season for instance. They may look like just mere Christmas cards to you, but there are other things you can do with these works of art. How about converting them into your own masterpiece? Cut the front off of these beautiful designs; make a collage; and hang them on your wall. Maybe put them in your cubicle, and keep that holiday spirit all year long.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be really advanced, try and make a customized gift box out of them. These Christmas greeting cards can help make any gift look good. Take a plain gift box, spruce it up with a bunch of cut outs from Christmas cards from years past. Now look at that plain gift box\u2026not so plain anymore, now is it?!?<\/p>\n<p>I kept last year\u2019s Christmas cards and strung them altogether, hung them off the top of the ceiling, and look at that\u2026I had a festive banner. So don\u2019t think all you have to do with your Christmas cards is open them, hang them on your mantle, and then throw them out. There\u2019s infinite ways to use these little pieces of art. Just be creative and think outside the box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christmas cards are sometimes more than meets the eye.
