If your like me you keep creating and the stacks of cards just keep getting larger. What do you do with them all. Obviously I try to use mine for occassions, but I still have a ton? Do you sell them?
Hoard them. No really. I alwaaaays forget to send them, so just this past week I sent a bunch off to family and friends, lol! Even if it wasn't their bday they got one, I made them another bday just so I could send my cards out. Hahaha, not really, but it almost came to that;)
I send them off to whoever when I don't really need them as examples for my workshops. I know a lot of women who donate them to their local Ronald McDonald house so that families can have cards to send to love ones while they are caring for an ill child. You could also donate them to troops overseas to send to their loved ones while they are away! Hope this helps!
My mother and MIL love getting a box of them every now and then. They both send lots of cards and appreciate having some on hand!
Also, I donate to churches. You can also make your card fronts into full cards and donate them as well. Especially when stamp sets get retired or just tired!

I usually hoard mine unless I made it for a specific reason/person. I have so many cards. My basement stamp area is full with them, my bedroom closet is getting there too. Sometimes I seriously think I need to quit stamping all together so I can use up my cards. I need to get a few packets together and give them as gifts...
I hoard my recent favorites to use as samples @ workshops. The majority of my old samples and some cards I get from swaps get donated. I do keep a box of cards @ my DH's office that I sell.
I just gave a box of them away as a wedding gift. I bought a really pretty box at Joann's, made dividers for the different occasions - baby, anniversary, thank you, get well, wedding, birthday, etc. - and filled it up with cards for all the occasions.
My grandmother will be 96 in May, and still lives on her own, but can't drive anymore. So I send her boxes of cards all the time, because she still loves to write to people.
Speaking of which, I gotta get on the stick and get a bunch more made! lol
What do you do will all your cards?
