turn your cards into a book

If you're like me, you find it hard to throw away anything sentimental, especially greeting cards. This is the perfect way to preserve your cards from your wedding, new home, new baby, the loss of a loved one, & so much more.

Each of these books are custom made by me & tailored to fit your cards. They are a labor of love, & I treat each set of cards like they were my own.

Pricing begins at $80 before materials, shipping, & applicable taxes.
Each book holds a stack of cards up to 2.5" thick.

FAQ // Do I ship my cards to you?

Yes. I work with your original cards. Cards are individually sewn into the binding, then covered & finished with your choice of materials. Most cards can be sewn in (flat, folded, vertical fold, & even the tiny weird-shaped ones) so order everything the way you want.

Pockets can be created but contents cannot exceed 1/4” in thickness.

Invitations can be added to the inside front cover either by pocket or photo corners if not sewn in as the first page.

Book Titles

To take your book of greeting cards one step further, add a title to your book! Titles can include your name, a meaningful phrase, a non-customizable graphic, & more.

STEP 1 // PICK OUT MATERIALS

To get started, tell me your three finishing materials for your book:

• the outside cover

• the ribbon to tie your book shut

• the inside cover (known as the end leaf)

If you are wanting multiple books each made with different materials, tell me in the Special Request box your three finishing choices for each book.

If you fill out the order form with only one set of materials & indicate that you need 2 or more books, I will assume you want the books matching.

The Outside Cover

The outside cover is usually the easiest to start with since it’s the largest visual element of the book.

Concerned about the handmade paper being less durable than the bookcloth? Don’t worry. I reinforce everything.

Like both?

I can combine two different materials on one cover for an even more unique look.

STEP 2 // SORT YOUR CARDs

Let me know if you have your cards in a specific order, & I'll do my best to make sure they stay that way. If you want, you could put a stickie note on each one with their order number, or lightly number them in pencil (small print!) on the back in a corner. I advise enclosing your cards in a ziploc bag for mailing to keep them from breaking free & flying around your box. Tight rubber bands can cause damage & break in transit.

If you don't care about order, I'll just bind them together at random.

Sorting by size (ie, smallest cards to largest) does not look the best in final book form.

STEP 3 // MAIL YOUR CARDS TO ME

Please do not include any envelopes & make sure all cards are empty of gift receipts, gift certificates, etc. If any card has additional notes or messages inside, I'll be sure to keep those attached to the cards. If I find anything that may have been overlooked, I'll be sure to send it back.

If you would like a pocket added for smaller cards or an invitation, please include those items so I know how large or small to make the pocket. Pocket contents cannot exceed 1/4” thick.

You’ll receive more instructions after I’ve received your order form.

STEP 4 // PAYMENT

Once you've picked out your materials & I've received your cards, I'll set up an Etsy listing just for you where you can pay. Because this is a collaborative project, it's hard to estimate a delivery time. If you are working with a deadline, please let me know in the Special Requests box of the order form.

A $25/book rush order fee can be added to your order. While this does not ensure a completion or delivery date, it does put you at the top of my queue.
