ALL ORDERS ARE CUSTOM MADE WITH YOUR CHOICE OF FINISHING MATERIALS.
** Upgrade your book with calligraphy!
These handmade greeting card books are the perfect way to collect & preserve your greeting cards from your wedding or any other meaningful event in your life. Extremely streamlined, each card is individually sewn into the binding, then covered & finished with your choice of materials.
One card book is $70 & each additional book is $50, before materials, shipping, & applicable taxes.
The average size of a finished book is 9" x 6". Each book holds a stack of cards up to 2.5" thick, roughly 45 cards.
Most cards can be sewn in (flat, folded, vertical fold, & even the tiny weird-shaped ones.) If you have a specific order in mind, I'll pull out cards only as needed to be inserted into a pocket at the end of the book. Pocket 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I get all of my materials from Paper Source & whatever you pick for the outside cover, inside cover, & ribbon will be added to the final cost. I have plenty of leftover materials from past orders that are discounted; discontinued items are marked down even further. See my website for my most current inventory. www.dreamyelk.com/greeting-card-book/
If you are wanting multiple books each made with different materials, tell me in the Special Request box your 3 finishing choices for each book. If you fill out the order form with only one set of materials & indicate that you need 2+ books, I will assume you want the books matching.

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 $15 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. You will also have the option for rush shipping in check out.
