Those of you who follow me over on Instagram may have seen the card I made for my partner, Charlie’s birthday. I posted this photo of a handmade extendable and shaped card of our greyhound Albert! It’s funny because I very nearly didn’t post it but I had such an excited feeling about the card and decided to share it. I’m glad I did as it turned out to be one of the most fun things I’ve made.
The process of manufacturing the card has been fairly long (not as long as the card though!) and I had to wait for a bit of money to come in before I invested in ordering a large amount of cards. Shaped cards are costly to produce, especially in smaller quantities. Receiving the first set of samples was so exciting and seeing a mini army of Alberts was adorable. I wanted the card to have a similar handcrafted feel to the original but with a high quality finish and I think I have achieved this- the card used has a slight texture and the illustration feels hand drawn. The deep yellow colour of the envelope was chosen to match the colour of the first thing I bought for Albert which was a fluffy yellow blanket 💛
Keep Cards, cards to hold on to and treasure.
I am huge fan of cards and I always keep my favourites from my birthday and christmas and if they’re special enough they will stay out all year round. That is my intention with this card, it wouldn’t be out of place sitting on your shelves and with the postcard slip it means you can write a special note without having to write on the card itself.
I hope you love this card as much as I do- I have plans to expand* this range even further! Let me know what you’d like to see next. Available to buy here. Thanks so much xx
