Pesky Subscription Cards = Upcycling Genius!

Are you pestered by those inconvenient subscription cards that fumble out of every magazine?  Etsy seller Ugly Kitty was, and she decided to upcycle the cards (along with other vintage papers) into address files, held by a vintage recipe box (currently available for $65 via her waiting list).

Of course!!!  With the name, address, and email lines, magazine subscription cards make perfect repurposed personal address cards.  This upcycling idea makes me want to get organized before mailing out Christmas cards.  How do you keep all your friends and families’ addresses organized?

    What a genius idea! Thanks for sharing it. I really HATE those inserts, but this might convert me. I currently have no system for organizing my contacts other than an outdated excel spreadsheet.

    What a FABULOUS idea! I’m going to start collecting them now instead of putting them straight into the recycling box – thanks for the hint!

    I was just chatting with my coworker about this last week at dinner . Don’t know how in the world we got on the subject really, they brought it up. I do recall having a excellent steak salad with cranberries on it. I digress…

    This is not the way it was supposed to go. What happened to randomly drawing my name? I think it was rigged! Susan,
