Aren't these cards wonderful?

Back in the day, department stores often had large scales you could step on, insert a nickel and get your weight and a fortune. Well, it's 2023 and you can still get a fortune. In fact, you can get 5 or 10 of them!

These original cards are printed on heavy cardboard and look great in almost any mixed media project - collage, visual journals, greeting cards, shadow boxes, ATCs, altered books, what-have-you. If you're into altered books, showcase a card through a window cut into the preceding 5 or 6 pages. Looks amazing.

For the holiday season I make Christmas crackers and always include one of these fortune cards.

Several years ago, when RubyDog's Art House was a bricks and mortar store, I hosted an altered jigsaw puzzle collaboration. The sample in the 4th image is from that project. Clo Laurencelle did this piece as a bit of a spoof on me. The cards read: " Your ideas at times are rather large. Sometimes you undertake more than you can accomplish. ....you are apt to get excited and make things lively." Pretty accurate observation from one of my customers!

If you order more than one packet I will make sure you do not receive any duplicate fortunes.

Why not add RubyDog's to your list of Favourites? That way you can find us, again. After all, it's so easy to get lost on Etsy, isn't it?

PLEASE BE AWARE:
Etsy has now begun to charge sellers when a customer finds their shop via another site or search engine (Google, Bing, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.). We are forced to pay them 15% of the total order (including taxes and shipping!) on top of all the other Etsy fees. It would be greatly appreciated if, when you come across an ad or listing via any site other than Etsy itself, you do not click on it. Instead, if you would simply cut-and-paste the title into the Etsy search bar, you would be doing all the small businesses on Etsy a great favour. Thank you so much.
