2. Glue leftover cards or those from previous years on matboard using Spray Mount, double sided tape or rubber cement and hang as holiday artwork, says Mary Ellen Turner, vice president of seasonal merchandise for Party City. The boards could be trimmed down to the size of a single card or left as a whole board with numerous cards attached to it lined up against a wall or on top of a coffee table.
I change out the pictures in frames with Christmas fabrics, it looks more like it's on canvas. I think most wrapping paper would be too glossy.

Another cheap & easy decorating tip: use existing tall glass vases or decorative pedestal bowls that you might have around the house, and place several christmas ornaments, alternating colors (I like to use the satin-thread old-school ones you can get at the 99-cent stores, but any will do) - adds a great visual impact anywhere & uses pre-existing things you have, just presented in a new way...as a centerpiece, you can place some sprigs of pine around it for added "oomph", or flank w/candelabras
