Do you save birthday cards that you receive? Or mother’s day cards? Or father’s day cards? Maybe even get-well cards? If someone sends me a card, I like to keep it, because, well, you know — someone took the time to send me a card.<\/p>\n

If you have accumulated greeting cards and would like to do something with them, you might want to consider making a collage.<\/p>\n

Here’s how:<\/p>\n

1. Purchase a 5×7 or an 8×10 picture frame with glass (or a larger frame, if desired).<\/p>\n

2. Cut out the pictures from the greeting cards.<\/p>\n

3. Glue the pictures onto a piece of cardstock, poster board or other heavy paper cut to fit the frame. Cover the paper with pictures. Experiment with different arrangements before you glue them down.<\/p>\n

4. Display the collage on a coffee table or end table or hang it on the wall. Greeting card collages also could be given as gifts to family and friends. A “Happy Birthday” greeting card collage would be a unique way to say “Happy Birthday!” to someone you love. A “Get Well” collage would be a unique way to tell someone you love that you are sending them get-well wishes for a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n
