During the holiday season, a friend of mine invited me to make cards with her and that's pretty much all it took for me to fall in love with all things paper related. Since then, I have been stocking up my arsenal which is (almost) beginning to rival my bead collection. I've purchased all sorts of cardstock, embossing powders, glues, embellishments, etc.... With all of my new supplies, I have been experimenting with different ways to incorporate my new found love of paper-crafting with my old favorite, jewelry making. It didn't take long before I came up with these...
When selling wares online, or even in a brick and mortar store, competition can be stiff. Even if your designs are fresh and unique, presentation is very important to make your creations stand out. I started making these earring cards to compliment the colors in my designs and to make my pieces stand out. Two words: BRIGHT COLORS!!! I love these earring cards because they really help bring attention to my creations. Plus, they are super fun to make!
Another welcome addition are these handmade "Thank You" cards. I like to include these whenever I make a sale on Etsy. I think this is a nice touch to set your shop apart from others and also to help the buyer remember you. These are super fun to make, too!With the handmade marketplace, it's all about the details. It's important to find a way to make the details as fun as your primary craft!
