i would tear the picture part of a used christmas card and on the back of it, i would use it as a postcard and mail it to a different person. saves on postage too cause you don't need an envelope.
or if I have time, I would tear the picture part of the card and glue it on a folded construction paper and inside of the construction paper I would put a christmas verse.
for the envelopes, I make them out of brown paper bags.

depending on the card I either make Christmas ornaments or gift tags with old Christmas cards. I made a collage out of a bunch of particularly pretty cards I had saved and framed it. A couple of times, I cut the part with the picture on it and put it on the front of some homemade candles. Very pretty.

NO. Big NO for me. I once dated a guy who gave me recycled cards. Eventhough he put a lot of drawings and stuff, I still can see the previous sender's name (who turned out to be his ex!) I was really turned off =( You can recycle Christmas cards if you would like to make some decors for personal use =) or just be sure that it will not turn out to be recycled when you give it to someone.

In the beginning of January each year I take all my Christmas cards to Aust Post Office. They have special collection bin for used Christmas cards for recycling.
I'm very consciences when it comes to recycling.

My brother and I have been sending the same Christmas card back and forth for the past 50 years and I look forward to seeing it again next year.

I like the recycling it into a post card--how clever!
I don't get many because I don't send any out. But the ones I get I save to make cut-outs for the family photo scrapbook.

I just use those cute pictures in the front and use it as part of my book where i store every photo and other things i liked into a book, and when I am old and grey i look back on them and smile =)

I've thought about it, but, I don't have the time. If I did have the time I would cut out the front decorations and make tree ornaments with my nieces

The only way Ive recycled them is by using them as tags on gifts.

Yes, I do this. I also decoupage them onto other things for Christmas ornaments or collage projects. Good ideas you listed.
