Where life stories become keepsake books
A unique way to preserve & save your greeting cards from your wedding, baby shower, or other special occasions.
Handmade by me!
Handmade by me!
I have always had a hard time throwing away a handwritten card or note, especially after my wedding. My poor cards went through the ringer as I developed a method for saving the actual cards & preserving them to read throughout our marriage. Now, I have beautiful books I can pull off my shelf every anniversary.
I thought you were a wedding photographer?
I was! Visit my About page for a little more on the change.
Each card is individually sewn into the binding, then covered & finished with your choice of materials. Choose between handmade papers or bookcloth for the outside cover, then pick the inside front cover & ribbon to tie it shut.
One card book is $80 & each additional book in one order is $60, before materials, shipping, & applicable taxes, & can hold a stack of cards up to 2.5" thick.
Rarely do I come across a card that can’t be sewn in, so order everything the way you want.
Invitations can be added to the inside front cover or sewn in as the 1st page.
Volume numbers bring books together with a cohesive finish.
More than just cards can be turned into a book: artwork, brochures, restaurant menus, & more.
A question I get asked online at the beginning of this process is sometimes: Are you a real person? I’m happy to say that yes, I am! I know it may be hard to send your cards across the country to a stranger, so see what others have to say below!
Not only was this so special to make but it was so easy. We collaborated on every piece of material to make my vision come to life & were able to do two different books with two different themes for my wedding & bridal shower cards. So stunning!! I will be sharing with all my future bride friends.
The whole experience was well organized & very responsive. She made suggestions & edits which turned out beautiful!
It's abundantly clear that Emily puts a lot of love into her art - I'm astounded by the quality of the card book she created & sent back to us! Emily was also wonderful to communicate with, & made the back & forth on material selection so easy.
I am so happy I purchased this item - all of our wedding cards were placed beautifully into two albums that were fully customizable. It's a perfect way to make our sentimental cards presentable & keep them together in a meaningful way :) Emily is wonderful to work with & we are so, so happy with our purchase!! Thank you!!!
Emily made books for our wedding cards & for the cards received after my husband passed away. The quality is unmatched. I was going to do books from one of those websites, but I am so glad I found Emily. They are personal & truly stunning. I keep them on a shelf in our living room next to my husband’s urn. Now my toddlers & I can look at them & talk about daddy when we’re all together.
I truly can not recommend Emily enough for the most amazing wedding keepsake! We had so many wonderful cards, & I wanted to do something special with them. Her card books are high quality & one of a kind! I LOVE them! You need this! I will be using her again for future "card" events!
I absolutely LOVE my card books!!! I really wanted to preserve the cards from my wedding because of the beautiful messages that our family & friends wrote to my husband & I on our wedding day. I found Emily online & knew a card book was the perfect way to preserve them! Emily was so easy to work with - she answered my questions, helped me pick out different papers that would work well together, & even allowed me to customize the design with leftover stationary from my wedding. I could not recommend a Dreamy Elk Card Book enough for anyone looking to create a beautiful & sentimental keepsake!

The card book is perfect! It does exactly what it’s made to do & I feel much better knowing the cards people wrote us are safely sewn into a book I can see rather than lost in some box. Emily is super responsive, very kind, & did a great job :)
