Christmas Card turned into Book


I received this Christmas card from my friend Lisa two years ago. 

Since so many of cards received are handmade by friends I wanted

to use them in a creative way. 


Decided to turn them into little books. 


Took parchment paper, and an envelope to create a notebook. 


Used simple pamphlet stitch to bind the pages in the card. 

To cover the greeting on the inside I used a piece of patterned paper. 

To the pages I did some stamping, and added a few pieces of ephemera.

I'm thinking I will "gift" the books back to the people who sent me the card. 

That way they can use them as a journal or to plan next year's Christmas card

lists, gifts, and so on.
