This morning I decided to make something different for my Etsy shop. I had some little file folders that I decided to add some fabric collage to. I started the cover with some antique linen, added some old sewing items and finished the front off with some buttons. On the inside of the folder/card I collaged fabric, snaps, buttons and what not. Each folder fits right into a 5" X 7" envelope! I made 4 cards using sewing stuff and 1card acts as a little art journal folder. The art journal folder has a collaged fabric piece on the cover that I did a while back. Inside I used a postcard that I made this summer (It can be used as a pocket). Then I sewed a strip of linen to the opposite side and slid a little handmade book into it. Once again, they all fit into an envelope so they can be used as cards or gifts.
