The trouble with card making now is that there are loads of people doing it. I started a small business and despite hard work and a talent it flopped! If you can amke a few to sell to family and friends then OK but dont expect to make a lot of money out of it.
Reply:my mother and aunt both sell for different greeting card/scrapbooking companies. Stampin' Up! and Creative Memories, both very good! let me know if you want a catalog or something...or you could just search those companies in Yahoo's awesome search engine!
Reply:I do this... I have a small kids paper making kit make the cards.. and do my own photos and my own art work .. and sell say 5 for 10 bucks at the craft fairs and farmers market.. BUt This is a way to do it on your own. I also want to do what you are doing. IN the artists market magazine there is a list of the greeting card companies... that free lance your work... This magazine is a listing of the companies and how and what is going on inthe industry and whats new ... and what I read is that sometimes making your own line .. they will buy it. so its Artist market magazine. write and ask the company's how to go about having your cards looked at and I guess you go on fromthere.
