The Card Album makes a great place to store and display jewlery

Are you looking for an easy way to store your jewelry pieces that you intend to sell or give as gifts? Why not attach them to cards and then pop them into a Card Album?
How to display a necklace in a card:
Poke holes in the card with a small hole punch or a piercing tool.
Cut wire at about 3 inch lengths and bend it in half.
Link the wire through the chain of the necklace so that there is very little slack.
Poke the wire through the holes and bend open.
Slide the card into the elastic spine and you a ready to grab your Card Album to show off your work or have it be your "go to" spot for gift giving!

Bat Mitzvah Card Album

My niece just had her Bat Mitzvah and I thought she should have a place to store all her cards and memorabilia.




















So I had my Mom send me some photos from the day and I went to town decorating and customizing the outside of The Card Album.
















I cut up the invitation reusing it for the cover title.
















So not only is The Card Album a great place to store cards, it can hold all sorts of things like the program from the event, the embossed napkins and things. The pocket in the back is perfect for little bits that don't have a fold that slides into the cord binding system.

My first Decorated Christmas Card Card Album for 2009 using the Cricut Die Cutter

I decorated my first Card Album for my 2009 Christmas cards!
I know your thinking a bit early? No never too early to craft for the holidays, they sneak up on you like you wouldn't believe!















It is really hard to shoot really shiny metallic hence the two shots.














I know it's hard to see but on the ribbon I die cut "2009 cards" out of shiny gold metallic sticky back vinyl on my Cricut die cutter. I wrapped my Card Album like a present. I put the bow on the spine so it would look pretty on the shelf amongst my books.















Here you can see the "9".

Card Albums are great for Blank cards on their way to awsome hand made creations

So Card Albums aren't just good for putting cards you have received they are great motivators and organizers of your handmade creations.














I filled a Card Album with blank cards that I simply made by folding 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock in half and slipping in the elastic binding system. I have made one card and plan to make 23 more before Christmas, it is about 23 weeks until then so I think I am in good shape!














To see how to make this movable fighting girls card:


pop on over to this post at Craftside. It was made with help from the great book Paper Puppet Palooza .
