Christmas Card Album - Part 1 - Designing Album

Описание: Turn your saved Christmas cards into a keepsake you’ll actually look back through. In this 3-part series, I’m making a festive 8-inch Christmas Card Album using recycled Christmas cards and scraps of patterned paper from my stash — a lovely way to upcycle those “too nice to throw away” cards and create something really special.

This album is made with three hinges and holds up to 6 pages (that’s 12 sides to decorate), so there’s loads of space for photos, journaling, pockets, tags and festive embellishments.

What’s included in the 3-part series:

Part 1: Planning & Design
We’ll look at the different types of Christmas cards you’ve saved (sizes, folds and features) and plan page ideas so the album is designed to fit your cards properly.

Part 2: Making the Pages
Creating the pages and putting them together so the structure is sturdy, functional and ready for decorating.

Part 3: Finishing the Album
An overview of the completed pages, then we’ll build and decorate the album covers — including the inside covers and the outside cover — to bring the whole project together.

Ways to use this album
• A Christmas card keepsake album to save special cards year on year
• A Christmas photo album (decorate using the cards, then add your photos to match)
• A thoughtful handmade gift for a Christmas-lover or memory keeper
