If you have lots of birthday or other cards piling up that you’d like to keep, here’s a neat idea for dealing with them. Allison from Little Lovelies bound the cards her son received for his first birthday into this cute book, using her binding machine. Click here to go to the tutorial.
How darling is this mini friendship journal from Diane!? It’s so cute, filled with stamped Teddy Bears and sweet sentiments in it’s own little floral box. She used dies and stamps from Art Impressions to create this sweet little project that would be perfect to send to a friend to brighten their day, you could even include photos and personalized journaling to make it more of a mini scrapbook if you’d like. The box the journal is in was die cut from blue cardstock with an open window on the top and covered in custom “pattern paper” that she stamped and colored with a magnet snap to keep it closed.
She used plaid, striped and polka dot pattern paper to decorate each page, using more blue cardstock for the base of the album. Each page has has either a stamped sentiment or a different sweet bear stamped in sepia ink and water colored with markers on a white die cut panel with pretty detailed edges.

Fabulous idea!
The card looks really good. Everyone doesn’t want extra clutter from those cards and this creation shows that you can organize those cards and at the same time be creative. 🙂 This would also look good in scrapbooking. 🙂
This is awesome and really creative!
