The last few weeks I have been busy finishing up several half-completed project. I even found time to take a quilting class, which will be written about later. One of the projects that I completed is a book of all of our bridal shower cards and wedding cards. After all of our wedding festivities, we had so many cards full of well-wishes. With such kind words written in each card, I knew they were something that I wanted to treasure forever. I decided to make a book out of all the cards so that we would not miss a card by having them scattered everywhere.
Just a few of the many cards... |
It was fairly simple to make. I took a 3-hole punch and made the holes in the card (I only needed 2 holes, but that was the easiest). I initially tried to use the single hole punch, but it was quickly hurting my hand. The 3-hole punch was MUCH easier. To create the cover and back, I used cardboard pieces. I used binding rings to put the little books together. And, obviously, I had to jazz up the covers a bit. :)
I love the end product! I love that they are bound together and that I won't have any missing cards. Right now, the card books are on the book shelf with our picture albums. I also enjoyed using lace on the covers - I mean, what's more appropriate for a wedding?! :)
I love this idea! :-)
