Feb. 25th, 2006 08:47 pmThese were inspired by a post on Craftster. I actually made one of these, too (and just looking back at it realized I used the same Discover card for mine), but I don't have pictures of it yet. (I have a feeling I'll be posting again soon.)
I know these don't require a super amount of skillz, but they're great for when:
a) you've brought your 5/8ths punch to work,
b) have ribbon for wrapping a swap package, and
c) are disinclined to actually do what you're paid to do.
We're about to move offices, and I have a bajillion and a half business cards with our old address on them. While it would be kind of dumb to get brand new ones immediately (our mail will be forwarded for at least six months), this will be a good use for when we do get new ones.

This the the front of two minibooks, the pages of which are made of the obsolete trip tickets. We seriously have probably 200 notepads of trip tickets in our office. We use the backs for notes-to-self, but that's not nearly as fun as these. Hell-o.

These are the backs.

I alternated the orientation of the paper as I cut it so that it would change up a bit throughout the book. The smaller book (the one that isn't using my business card as a cover) is made from the leftover large scraps after cutting the business card-sized pages of the first book. So one pad = two books. I rule.
