Card Book – a random little project….

28th July 2015

I did this with the bears congratulations cards from when she was born and it worked really well, so I’ve been meaning to do this with our wedding cards for ages but just hadn’t found the time. I mean, we’ve only been married 6.5 years and these poor cards have been rammed in a gift bag ever since! 

So…..may I present the homemade card book!

A lot of people scrap book their special cards into albums with their photographs but I wanted to read them again from time to time. So making them into a little book I could flip through really appealed to me, as long as you don’t mind a few hole punch holes in the edge of said cards! 

It’s so quick and easy to make this, all you need is: (1) 2x pieces of a5 card for the front and back cover, (2) a piece of coloured paper and picture of your choice to decorate the front, (3) some double sided sticky tape for the front cover, (4) some hinged rings which you can pick up really cheap from eBay, (5) a hole punch, and (6) your cards!

So first of all, use the hole punch to create the holes in the 2 pieces of card to make the front and back cover. I just used some cream card from my craft stash.

You can then use the double sided sticky tape, the coloured paper and picture to decorate the front in any way you like. As you can see I kept it simple with a wedding themed Mr & Mrs:

You then need to go through your cards, and hole punch each one centrally on the folded left hand line. Obviously position it as best you can and although this feels horrid to do, it makes it easy to flick through as a book and allows you to open and read the messages inside as you do so.

You should now have hole punched cards and a decorated cover:

So all you need to do now is put it all together on the hinged rings:

I told you it was quick and easy!! 

You should now have a little card book that I as a great keepsake for all your special cards. Easy to store on a bookcase and easy to pull out and look through from time to time:

Why not have a go yourself and let me know how it turns out?

Happy crafting!

  • My feed may be full of hearts and chocolates but there's no doubt that Papa Bear knows me so well! @alexcv8 FEET ❤️
  • This boy ❤️❤️❤️
After a false start at potty training in the new year, he suddenly took a proper interest at the weekend and told us he was going to be a "big boy".
.
Fast forward 5 days and he's not only not had an accident all week, but he's also woke up bone dry every morning AND ditched the dummy. The real test will be out over the weekend, but where has my baby gone?!
  • I love it when the post man brings book treats through the door!! The question is, what do I read first?
.
I really enjoyed keeping track of what I read last year so I thought I would bring that forward in to 2019. Rather than having individual book reviews, I thought I would simply look back on what I read in the past month and share my thoughts. . 
Therefore, if you’re looking for some book inspiration, then I've been looking back on January over on the blog today. It's definitely been a bit of a mixed selection…..link in bio.
  • This girl ❤️❤️❤️
Funny and infuriating, loving and volatile. I wouldn't have it any other way.
.
We've had a fabulous birthday party at the ice cream farm today and stretched it out with a trip to Charlie's. If you live our way and have heard of Charlie's then you now know we're a lot lighter in the purse. I hope your Saturday has been a good one!
  • The snow has pretty much dissappeared here now but I can't resist sharing these beauties from my wander through our village on Wednesday. Moooo!!
  • As the country was covered in white today, our childcare was snowed in at home. That left us with an extra day at home and the dilemma of what do you actually do when the dreaded snow day arrives but there is actually work you really do need to do from home?! Is it really possible to work from home and look after small children?
.
That's exactly what I'm chatting a about over on the blog today (link in bio). So, what do you do?
.
Ps. How gorgeous are these two 😍😍😍
