Card Maker's

When you make your cards haow do you store them?

Do you sell them?

I sell mine & i have order's too, i have some birthday order's & christmas order's & also the school is having a fair so i have a stall....an opertunity to sell them there too!!!

I make and sell also (locally) I store them in plastic boxes (I have 4 now I think) They each have dividers so all of the birthday ones are together and so on!

I sell them in my MIL's small general store. Those are in individual plastic sleeves. The rest I make for myself are stored in a photo box with tab dividers.

When I moved.....I misplaced my plastic sleeves.....I may have to order more just to get thru the holidays!

They are hard to find around here!! I used to find them at Michael's in the handmade paper making area... but no more! If you have a place you order them from, would you mind PMing me the link?? Thanks!

No problem...I will have to look thru my receipts and find it! I need to get on this and get some ordered!

I have a card book I keep mine in. In Jan I try to make all the ones I need for the year.
I tried to sell some at a carft fair once. Didn't sell a single one. There is a girl at work whos buys them from me.

I have a school christmas fair comming up, lol, thanx!!
I also have a woman in work that ask's for so many at a time

I store mine in clearbags, and stack them in boxes, so I easily can flip trough them.

I use to go to fairs, but now I don`t have the energy anymore... I usually sold more than 100 cards on each fair, and it took my joy out of cardmaking... I had to turn into a machine...and I didn`t like that!

I do sell a lot now too, but from people ordering from me, not by going to fairs.

I dont use those bags anymore, becoz i find them expensive & there's not really much profit as there is, & also i find alot of ppl like to look inside the card, kwim?

Since i have been NOT useing those bags i have been selling more, so they are not really around long enough to get gubby, kwim?

This will be my first fair, hope it goes well, but i have where near 100 cards!!

Better get working!

I store mine in clear cello bags,sells some,keep some and family come and pinch some!

I too store mine in clear cello bags and keep them in photo boxes. I haven't sold a card in forever so I've been just giving mine away. I'm thinking about trying to sell on Ebay. I live in such a populated area with many "big name" stampers so it's hard to get my cards into stores.

I remove the clear bags, and keep them when I make a sale...
I never run out of clear bags then....
