Card Organizer

For my husband's uncle's Christmas present, I decided to give him a card organizer full of homemade cards. He gives cards on birthdays, so I figured this would save him some money through the year. I had made most of the pages last year, so I just had to sew them to the pages listing the month and days and then thread the ribbon through the eyelets. I stamped the month names and the dates earlier today. Now I just have to make cards to fill it.

This is the front cover. I stamped the word Cards with foam stamps by Plaid that I bought at Micheal's.

Each month has a white page like this with the month name at the top and the days of the month listed. I will draw lines next to the day so he can write the birthday person next to their birthday.

January's pocket page. I stamped snowflakes on it with my versamark pad.

February's pocket page. This is a clear stamp from Provo Craft.

I traced shamrocks from a template I had to make March's pocket page.

April's pocket page. I tore green paper and layered the strips to look kind of like grass. I tucked Easter eggs in the grass and then mog podged the whole thing so that the eggs wouldn't catch on stuff.

May's pocket page has flowers on it to celebrate Mother's Day.

June's pocket page. I tore tan paper and layered it to look like sand and then tucked shells cut with my sizzlets dies into the sand. Again I mog podge it so the shells wouldn't fall out.

July's pocket page is made with more sizzlets dies. I mod podged this one also so the firework parts wouldn't catch on stuff being taken out of the pocket.

In August I stamped books and pencils to try to convey a back to school theme.

In September I stamped a Provo Craft clear leaf stamp with versamark.

I stamped a trick or treat bag with ghosts coming out of it for the October pocket page and then colored the bags and ghosts.

You can't really see it in the picture, but there is Thank You stamped all over the November pocket page with versamark ink.

For the December page I stamped a Christmas ornament and then colored it.
