Hi,after the holidays are over and we all settle down to clearing away the decoration I am stuck with my chrismas and occasion cards I received from acquaintences, friends and family. Although I would think that some people will frown at this idea I consider it a worthwhile idea to make reusable cards. I shan't argue the case for or against here as this isn't the forum. Instead I consider the options to make reusable cards.
First consideration should be towards the material. For reusable cards it is required to provide some form of resisting material that can stand wear and tear without looking used. The blank card will probably be something made out of durable plastic with pouches where inserts can be added. Possibly a area that permanently has written the people a card has been given to. The frame could be extendable to stick together several cards for a bigger card for example.
Second consideration should be the message. Of course the card needs to be themed. Given the basic design has pouches it should be an easy detail to create respective templates to slot into the pouches. It may well be that new pouches are added for every new occasion creating a little book.
As an interesting side effect one can consider the life cycle of the card and who it is given to by whom. I presume that a chrismas card that went through celebrity hands at one time or another should give a neat touch to the actual ritual. I certainly wouldn't mind getting a card given to me that in a former cycle was handled by Steve Jobs, Larry Wall, Larry Page or Sergey Brin or even all of them!
