You Will Need (5 things)

  • 9 Stationery
  • 1 1 Page, White Paper
  • 1 Glue Stick
  • 1 Pick a colour to match the album cover Coloured Paper
  • Optional Blue Tack

Steps (8 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Choose the album you want to make (its easier if you actually have the album, but it doesn't matter too much). Find and save a picture of it online.

  2. 2

    Crop out any specific images from the album cover that you want to customize. I decided to change the logo on the girl's shirt of Kerplunk. I like to use Picnik photo editor to crop, but anything works.

  3. 3

    If you've decided to edit any images of the album cover, use Paint to edit.

  4. 4

    Open Microsoft Word, or any notebook software. Paste in the image(s) that you edited. Look for the font used on the album online (most Green Day fonts are at http://www.greendayauthority.com/downloads/fonts.php ). Type up the motto you want, I just used Happy Birthday Megan.

  5. 5

    Print off the card cover, and cut out. Fold the coloured card in half, and blue-tac on the cover.

  6. 6

    Cut around the cover, and glue it on

  7. 7

    Write the inside of the card. I chose a lyric from the album that I liked, and wrote that in.

  8. 8

    Finish any other parts of the card. Now you're done! ^_^
