Description:

I saw another swap for a flip book, and wondered how I could Christmas it up...! Then I found another fab idea and thought, hey, we could do this...

Being crafters, I am sure we keep old Christmas cards... I know I also keep all of the ones that I don't use each year in case I ever need a spare for a last minute card drop...

So, we are going to make a Christmas Card Journal:

  • a nice sturdy front and back cover that fits the size of the biggest card you will be using - make it look pretty with some decoration!
  • split rings for binding (unless you have an alternative binding method)
  • at least FOUR (4) Christmas cards punched, and put inside

Obviously, we don't want to put personal information in, so if they are used cards - glue pretty Christmas papers inside to cover any text. Embellish them, use the insides and backs for more space to glue Christmassy things!

Inside each of the four cards, put pockets, tags, envelopes... so that these little books could be used to keep Christmas photos, or receipts, or magazine cut-outs of crafts and gifts, or some special memories....

Any questions, drop me a line...! Think of it as a junk journal, using our stash of Christmas cards :-)

This is SENDERS CHOICE, but please pop to your partners profile to check likes and dislikes; we don't want to offend!

I will be checking who is joining, no unexplained 1s or 3s please.

I am happy to run a couple more of these if you would like to... let me know!

If we don’t have split rings, can we use a different binding method? I don’t usually use split rings, so just wondered if I should buy some or not.

Yes, that would be fine, use whichever method you have :-)

Are we decorating the journal covers as well?

Yes, make the covers look pretty too :-)
