To make a long story short, I came across these greeting cards on Etsy during my blogging time off and wanted to share them with you. I thought they were so beautiful! The lady that makes them is Sylvana Borrelli from Australia. She makes cards for weddings, baby showers, and even some cool vintage pieces featuring Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. She will even personalize your card. How cool is that? There's so much talent in this world.This is NOT a sponsored or paid post, I just admired her work and decided to blog about it.
Cards have really come a long way. How do you buy greeting cards? By the box? Individually? When events come up? What's your style? I try to pick something unique for the person or event.
Have a Great Weekend Everybody! I need to find a hobby! Oh yeah, I blog! Let me rephrase that! I need to find a hobby that PAYS! LOL
You thought I forgot huh? NOT moi!!!
Mrs. C of Cairel Chronicles! Congratulations!
Will she choose the Bandersnatch skirt or Tradewinds dress? Both would look superfabulous! Look for an email from me! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I adore those cards. Is it wrong that I want to send a link to everyone coming to my wedding so that they'll buy them for me?! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I always a personal touch and vintage touch to my cards, so I either made them or find something more vintage looking. However it think it's sad more people are turning to e-cards. Cause these cards u share are such gems!

That only says how very thoughtful and sweet you are as a person, Kim. Every little thing you say or do sets you apart from others and that's what I admire about you. Those cards are beautiful and special. I have been hooked to making handmade cards for occasions.
ReplyDeleteThese are so adorable, I would buy them and frame them. Happy weekend Kim.

Well, for some crazy reason, I'm partial to the "Tiffany" card. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteI have a box of really cute fashion-y cards that are my go-to cards because they are blank so they are great for any occasion. But I do like to go out and buy funny cards at the store as well.
I really like how these are textured...never seen anything like them before.
Okay...I am officially obsessed with these cards, they are stunning little pieces of art...I would want to start a collection of them.
ReplyDeleteThose are a work of art Kim!

Lovely times ten!!! I almost died laughing because I'm a card lover too, I just hate the steep prices. Have you ever bought the box from Costco? Not as couture as the gems you posted but pretty nice. I was on a hiatus myself ... Missed you girl! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI love these wedding cards! They reminded me of my cards which I used to make in scrapbooking classes. Geez, ever since I started blogging, I haven't touch any of my scrapbooking stuff.
