So, here is the finished card, all ready for you to CASE :) I went with a masculine /vintage theme, and I totally think it worked.
So, that map DSP is actually black and vanilla, but I decided to spruce it up a bit. I just rubbed the colors on to where I thought they would go on a real map, and because I used pastels, it is really subdued, which is what you need for a vintage feel.
Then I added the side panels and the sentiment on the bottom.
This is more of the same pack of DSP (Newsprint #117166). I used one of the spinner brads on the map, kinda like a spin and follow where it goes.
This is the last "card" and I purposely put the lined paper there, so I could write a birthday message. Those are all sides, and the next turn would be back the front. I hope you got a few ideas on how to finish yours off. Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!
Lovely !
I made this kind of card some years ago for my dads birthday as a menu ! I had to make like 20... And I cant tell you how happy I was when all of them work endless...

This is so beautiful. When I first saw your never ending card, I fell in love, with it. Then stampin up put instructions in our newsletter. So I have made one but I so love what you have done.

I did not have trouble making it; I did have some trouble learning how to turn it. As of yet I have not decorated it. I thought that it would be a great anniversary card. Our 25th is this coming Tuesday:)
Julie, could the never-ending book be used for the Wordless Book? Since it is a never-ending book, I thought that one could coorrelate it to God's never-ending love or . . . everlasting life that God wants to give through His Son. Do you think that this could be done?

I absolutely LOVE this card, Julie! Love the way you "colored" the map! My son-in-law is graduating in May, and all of the elements of this card (the map, reference to direction, the music paper) would be perfect for him. Thanks for the inspiration!

A terrific card! You have made this 'complicated' card mechanism easy to understand. Finding a theme is the hard part for me...travel opens lots of possibilities. TFS
