I made the card notebook!

[Radegund]

I thought the project for making little notebooks out of playing cards sounded like fun.  Instead of a playing card, though, I used a trading card from the sci-fi movie "Serenity":



I made this for the most recent Firefly/Serenity swap:

I printed out papers to use on the inside that had the outline of Serenity, the ship.  Instead of ribbon at the top I used a strip of red pleather.

I had worried that the glue along the edge only wouldn't hold, but I followed the instructions in the book and it all worked out fine.

Awesome idea!  I have a whole set of old Goonies trading cards and was wondering what I could do with them.

It's great to see variations on this idea!

This is such a great idea. I have some Dr Who cards I could use and some people I know would love it.

That's too cool, I like that you didn't follow the instructions to the letter, after all, we aim to misbehave.

I made some using chipboard letter stencils, they ended up smaller, but still cool looking.

Great change (and good topic choice!), nice idea about the paper with the ship too! ROCK!
All the items in my spare bedroom of crap will soon have a purpose! WAHOO!

Perfect! I just found a pack of Sailor Jerry cards that I've been looking for a chance to craft with.

I made notebooks out of discontinued wallpaper books.  Huge selection and easy and cute.  I cut the w/p double the length folded over the paper and stapled.  You could punch holes and use ribbon.  I made mine for my kids and the could choose age appropriate design.
