Tip Frosty's Hat Christmas Card

Share What Your Family Has Been Up To with This Easy Photo Album Christmas Card

If you’re tired of sending out the ubiquitous annual newsletter that offends as many people as it pleases, why not send a mini-album of the year in photos? After all, they do say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".

The text reads,

When the reader lift Frosty’s hat up, out comes a mini-photo album with pictures of the year’s events and adventures.

The card is note card size (4 1/8 by 5 1/4 inches); so an 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheet of cardstock makes two cards.

Cut each strip of cardstock to 4 1/8 x 9 1/4; score at 5 inches and fold the bottom up to form a pocket.

Glue the sides of the pocket and write your message above it.

If you would like to make more than a few of these cards and know just a little about computer graphics, this article can help you figure out how to print such a two-sided project.

For the cover of the mini-album, I found this darling Frosty wired-ribbon which adds texture and dimension to the card.

The cover design could as easily be hand drawn on cardstock or printed using your computer. Each cover measures 2 1/2 x 3 inches when folded.

Select your pictures and print them to fit your cover. Assemble and staple each booklet; insert in the card’s pocket.
