I like the basic idea. I would want my chip board to be covered on the edges so my covers for front and back would be created differently. It’s a great idea that can be used for so many different collections of memories. 😊
I have been looking for a way to put all my cards from my dad into a book (he passed away a few years ago). Right now they are in a shoe box, but I think this would be perfect. I have so many ideas running through my head right now because I am that person who cannot throw away a card! Thank you!!
I love these albums they are just the right thing for Christmas pictures and cards from friends and family. I need to make 4 of theses for my sisters this year . And they would be perfect for exchange gifts at work. It is hard to set a limit and find something cute for the price range they set a work now I know what to make. TFS and have a great week.
Good idea. I think a gusset would help, otherwise there is no room for bulk if you put, say, two cards in one envelope. Of course that would mean a wider spine, and scoring the flaps to make the gusset.
Dear Heidi, you mentioned your grandfather used to make Christmas cards. I am wondering if you would want to share them here for us to see, or maybe on your channel. Maybe you've already shared them at some point? I would love to see them, wondering if they are vintage-style, retro-style, CAS, just curious to see them. What an amazing treasure they are. Love the idea of this album, thanks so much for sharing how to make it.
Thanks Heidi, this is, like you said simple and easy! I love it! This would would for WEDDING cards, birthday cards, and for us card makers, a show case of our favs!! THANK YOU !!
I was kinda hoping on a project that let's you see the cards straight up. And/or maybe use the cards themselves as the craft material..... 🤔 Personally I store my Christmas and other cards in decorated shoe boxes and metallic storage boxes.
Hi there! For the 0.5" spine of this project, Heidi used a stack of ten A7-sized envelopes. Depending on the size of your project, you can use more or less to fit the spine size you choose. Hope this helps!
