Great Upcycled Greeting Card

I made this easy upcycled greeting card craft notebook after I stumbled across this gem of a post. In it, I learned of a cool little gadget used to bind notebooks. It is the Zutter Bind it AII and I love it! There is a little bit of a learning curve.  It took a few tries on scrap paper to figure out how to get the hole punches to align properly, but I think the end result was worth the effort.

I wasn’t daring enough to cut into a vintage book or post card, but I did have a New Year’s greeting card that I received from one of my favorite cousins.  Now I have the perfect way to journal or plan events for this year.  I have no doubt that I will find a great number of uses for this little gadget.

As I write this I am struck with regret….I should have made it a Calendar!!! Oh well. I am sure I will find plenty of ways to upcycle scraps and old books into gifts and useful items.

 

Happy crafting!

XOXO,
