It’s that time of year when my wood floor is covered with little pieces of paper and I have glue stuck to my fingers. Sounds like the holidays, doesn’t it? I’ve been making handmade / collage cards for a long time now. I remember sitting on my rug in my old bedroom at my parent’s […]

Holly Goldberg Sloan - I LOVE what you did with the cover of Counting By 7s! Super talented.
weekly wrap-up 12/28 | The Pretty Good Gatsby - […] received a GORGEOUS handmade card from Estelle (she recently shared past year’s cards and, I swear, she must be magic or something). The second I saw it I knew it was from The House […]
Shannan - This is such a clever idea. I’ll have to keep this in mind for next year’s gift giving. They turned out great too!
Ellie - These are beauuuuutiful! You are so creative and talented, Estelle! 🙂
December Madness | An Estelle "Shelve It", Estelle - […] I’ll Be DIYing for Christmas: my bookish cards from last year […]
Jess @ Gone with the Words - These are simply the most wonderful ever! You do such a great job, E. Love them so much and I look forward to seeing what you create each year. <3
Retrospectively Reading (11) | The Reading Shelf - […] “I’ll Be DIY-ing for Christmas” @ Rather Be Reading […]
Leah - I was wondering if you still made these!! I’m seriously blown away here, Estelle, not even joking. I keep scrolling back up to stare at them – I’m absolutely in love with the Snow Child card!! (& oh my gosh the Nowhere but Home skirt!!!)
Chloe @ YA Booklover Blog - These are absolutely beautiful! I love the Snow Child one especially 🙂 The time and effort you put into these is so amazing, they must be such a treat to receive (but I don’t know if I could bear sending them away!).
Ashley - Those are all such beautiful and thoughtful cards! Such talent!
Jess, Books and Sensibility - Wow, these are amazing. So creative !
Annie - These are gorgeous! It’s amazing how closely they match the books’ covers. You’re so talented Estelle because these are all SO GOOD.
Jessica - I love these! Yes to patience as a craft tool. I DIY-ed 15 cards this year with an X-acto knife and there were moments where I questioned my sanity, yikes but the end result is so worth it.
Brianna - These are beautiful!
Tiff @ Mostly YA Lit - So gorgeous. You are such an artist, Estelle, in your crafting, your makeup, and your writing! I’m sure the recipients must be so grateful for your effort.
I’m making a card for my sister-in-law tonight for her birthday, other than that, it’s cookie baking season for me!
Lola - Wow I am impressed, those cards looks fabulous! And indeed sometimes it’s the small things that count. You really put a lot of work and effort in it and I love how easily you can recognize the book the card is based on.
Candice @ The Grown-Up YA - Okay, the Counting by 7s one?! With the little Santa hat? I mean, TOO CUTE! And the Nowhere But Home one? GAH! These are so beautiful! Good job!
Lauren at Bookmark Lit - Oh my goodness these are gorgeous! Absolutely great job. I’m obsessed with the Twenty Boy Summer one!
Andi - This is AMAZING E! I am blown away by your talent! I can’t even begin to imagine how much time and love goes into these. Nicely done.
