I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of sentimental about cards. If someone went through the trouble to pick one out for me, I don’t want to throw it away! So instead, I make “Card Books.” They’re simple little flip books where you can keep your most meaningful cards without seeming like a hoarder.
All you need is a hole punch and a ring that clips open and shut.
To make one, just punch a hole in the top corner of all the cards you want to include, and put them through the ring to create your own “Card Book.”
Here is the one I made from all my Bridal Shower cards!
I’m not saying you should save all of the cards you receive, but this is a great way to save the ones that mean the most!

This is a great idea! I keep cards too, and they just bounce around in my desk drawer. It’s such a good idea to link the ones that are related to each other with a ring, and then tie the rings together with a ribbon.
Thanks! Hope you have a chance to make your own “card book.”
What a wonderful idea! I just can’t throw cards away and they are floating all over my house, this is the perfect solution! Thanks for sharing, I would love it if you would share it tomorrow on Thrifty Thursday link party @ http://fromnature-tonurture.blogspot.com/ Hope to see you there!
Thanks! I would love to link up tomorrow, I’ll plan on seeing you there!
Hi! I found you on Easy Living Mom link up. I absolutely LOVE this idea! I am definitely going to do this. I need to pull out my wedding cards. Dumb question…..but where do you get the metal ring, craft stores?

Hi Jackie! Thanks, I’m so glad you like the idea! You should be able to find the metal rings at crafts stores such as Hobby Lobby or Michael’s. I’m pretty sure that’s where I got mine.
I keep every card that I get. They are in many different places. I have them, but I would have to hunt them down, which may take a while. I am going to do this! It looks really cute and simple. Thanks for sharing with us Laura!
