My brother (whose 11 and a pretty good artist, and somewhat interested in my crafting) learned this last year at school and this year made me a bunch from last years cards for me to use as gift boxes for my friends. They're really cool, and all my friends liked how each was unique and loved tearing them apart to read the little messages people had written on cards to us lol  But its a good way to recycle and get more use out of those beautiful cards you recieve.
