Card Books

hz80408 · January 2011

I can't remember if it was someone from this board or TK-DIY, but I want to try to attempt to "bind" our wedding cards together and make a book.

I'm in the middle of googling directions, but if you have any idea what I'm talking about (or look google challenges), please share!

I plan on using these instructions to make mine. I think it was from the same off the DIY board.

Yah! Thanks! I realized I had the thread being "watched" after I posted this.

I am hoping to attempt this tonight!

Good luck and post pictures when your done. I am interested on how it turns out.

Here's another idea from the same post

I can't decide which I like better

That one seems easier. That is a tough one but I think I like the off beat one better. Mainly because I have a little one that likes to get into stuff and I would hate to have her untie it consistently. I think either one would look nice though.

This is an awesome idea! I've had my cards sitting in a bag not really sure what to do with them.

I'll have to try one of these. Good thing I work for an archival company, I can easily find book binding supplies.

Nice Dyork!

Any thoughts on which would hold up better over time? I almost think the ring book b/c I'd be nervous the off-beat glue would stop working...but I like the look of the off-beat better!

I remember seeing that post and I have been saving my cards to do something with them, but I love the post Nukke used to do her guestbook at her wedding and now have been trying to figure out how to incorporate that idea for the cards. it was this: http://ruffledblog.com/diy-wedding-book-vintage-hardcover-guestbook/

Love this!

I prefer the ring method - simply because I would fear the adhesive will eventually weaken and fray as old books do. And now I have something to do when Mike's away in a couple weeks!

Thanks for sharing!

More advanced, but super cute!

Yeah the adhesive eventually would wear after a long period of time, depending on how often it was opened and looked through. You probably are better off using the rings instead. That method also seems much easier to put together.

I like the first link. I might see if hubby wants to participate. He's all creative and artsy. I don't have a crafty bone in my body lol.

OH, no, I wish I thought of this! I chucked all of my cards a while ago

( I only have one from DH's aunt that stayed on his dresser because he was too lazy to move it lol

OMG I love this idea! I have all my cards from the showers and from the wedding and this would be a great way to save them. I may start doing this with Christmas cards too. Now I have another project to work on while I'm away from DH.
