I got this idea from a Christmas craft book and made them with the kids before Christmas this year with some of last year's cards: Cut equal sized strip of the front panel of the card, about 1/2" wide at least. Punch a hole at the bottom and top of each strip. Attach them with a brad fastener. Fan the pieces out and it makes a bauble. We hung them with ribbon in the front window. Pretty cool!
