How to Recycle (and Reuse) Your Greeting Cards Beautifully

Greeting cards have a way of becoming keepsakes – especially when they’re as beautiful as ours. But once the occasion has passed, what do you do with them?

At Bespoke Letterpress, our cards are crafted not only to be cherished but also to leave a light footprint. Printed on high-quality, environmentally responsible card stock, our cards are designed to be loved and responsibly handled. Here’s how to make the most of them – long after they’ve been opened.

 

 

Traditional Recycling – A Thoughtful Send-Off

Most of our greeting cards can be placed straight into your home recycling bin! Our card stock is uncoated, plastic-free, and recyclable, making it easy to dispose of responsibly without compromising on luxury or beauty.

Tip: If the card has foiling, simply trim off that section before recycling.


Turn Cards into Gift Tags

The beautiful illustrations on our greeting cards make stunning gift tags. Simply cut out your favourite part of the card, punch a hole, and thread with ribbon or twine.

It’s a beautiful way to extend the design – and a perfect match with our double-sided gift wrap and luxury ribbon range.

Tip: Our florals, festive illustrations, and baby cards are especially popular for this!


Save for Journals, Scrapbooks or Memory Boxes

The message, the art, the handwriting – sometimes it’s too special to toss. Slip cards into your linen-bound journal or scrapbook to preserve meaningful moments. Many of our customers even collect our card designs as mini keepsake prints.

Tip: Why not frame a birthday card from a loved one or use it as a journal prompt?

 

 

Frame as Mini Art Prints

With our cards often featuring illustrations by celebrated artists, they’re more than messages – they’re frame-worthy moments. Pop your favourites into small frames for your home office, gallery wall, or bookshelf.

Tip: Try this with our botanical, festive, or love-themed cards for a beautiful result.


Re-Gift with Intention

We design our cards to be timeless. If you’ve received a card that’s barely written in or has space to add your own message – consider giving it a second journey. It’s an eco-friendly, sentimental gesture your loved ones will appreciate.

Tip: Pair with our matching wrap or tags to create a thoughtful, cohesive gift presentation.

 

 

Beautifully Made, Responsibly Designed

At Bespoke Letterpress, we believe in thoughtful paper goods – from the message inside to the life beyond the envelope. Our cards are designed to be held onto, displayed, and when the time comes, gracefully reused or recycled.
