A friends husband works at a bank and one of his co-workers is retiring. He asked if I could make a card for 10 people to sign. This is what I came up with - I kind of made it a mini book card with 6 pages for signing. Each page has a picture or stamp of something that is meaningful to the retiring coworker.
I cut each page to be 5.25 x 7.5 (to fit a 5.5 x 7.75 envelope that I have). With the DP, I adhered the back side of it to a piece of cardstock to give the front and back "covers" more stability. With each piece of 5.25 x 7.5 paper, I scored them at one inch for that to be part of my binding.
I stamped each page - and made sure to not use embellishments, dimensionals, etc since people from the office will be writing on each page.
To adhere it all together - I used the sticky striping adhesive where you have to pull the red backing off - I put that on the top, middle, bottom (3/4 inch strip each) and then a strip right along where the score line was. I did NOT adhere the back page (yet). I then poked my holes and put the corduroy brad in and then adhered the back piece so that the brad prongs don't show and it has a finished look.
