Houseboat Greeting Card | Whimsical Floating Cottage with Dog | Circle Sticker Option
$2.95+
A whimsical floating home for anyone who loves a little magic.
My Houseboat Greeting Card began as a playful idea — if you lived on a houseboat, why wouldn’t you bring the yard, the picket fence, and the loyal dog waiting on the steps? It’s a tiny world that feels both impossible and perfectly natural.

✦ Printed in the USA on archival paper for lasting quality
✦ 2x2 lavender sprig sticker for sealing
Optional upgrade:
✦ Add a 3×3 circle sticker featuring the full Houseboat illustration

Care instructions
Resin picks up finger prints and the surface is affected by plastic wrap or bubblewrap. It needs to be wrapped with tissue paper first then bubble wrap so that it doesn't mar the surface, If the surface does become marred just let it sit out in a warm room and eventually it will go back to a smooth surface.
Gift wrapping and packaging
I can wrap any gift you might want to send with charming paper and card. People will love the packaging as much as the gift ;)

I’m a very happy repeat customer. This card is so clever. I love the way it’s made, with high quality card stock. Love the colors. Valerie always encloses each card in cellophane with a few darling stickers. My friends love receiving her little works of art!

Valerie, you never fail in combining the right colors especially in this boat house. It has also made my friends happy because they were dog lovers and they really liked that there is a dog in it.
