I know this sounds crazy but instead of paying $4/little bag for gift basket "grass" filler at my local craft store I shred this colored (green for Christmas) paper from staples to fill my gift baskets with. Using my Staples shredder it makes easy work of creating colorful basket filler & is way more reasonable in price. I have leftover green paper to print Christmas letters & use for other things as well. You can't beat the quality and price for Staples paper and card stock products!
I used colored paper for my home use. I print out my cards on card stock and sent in the mail to friends or give them to special people. I get lots of complaints on the cards and how lovely they look. They like to what is printed on them.. I have a card making software on my computer. they are many different designs I can print out. I also type out a verse and put it inside the card that I make. It is fun to get different verses that will help you put them in words and than print them out on the colored paper.
