I’ve been printing cards. I love the process – the designing, carving, printing and best of all – looking at the finished product. Sometimes the process goes smoothly, sometimes not so much. I’m still learning (and there is a lot to learn) but I’m having a great time doing so. I print on cards that I purchase – some are just plain paper (white or cream), some are simple backgrounds which are intended for “embellishment”. I also like to work on cards that other people would consider finished or ready to use. The challenge is to improve upon an already great looking card.
I like to play with a variety of styles while I try to develop my personal style, with a sense of humor.
I’m working on building inventory while I develop my selling strategy. How will I know when I have enough?

Hopefully you’ll never have enough 🙂

Lovely cards Terri! I especially like the “for the birds” Just for You card and the stabbing With Love. Have you considered visiting a card shop like Papyrus and asking the manager if someone there might be willing to eyeball your portfolio? They mass produce cards, but I think their cards are very nice quality.

Thanks so much Nancy. Glad you like them – nice to think even someone from the Big Apple would think so! A couple of those are printed on Papyrus cards, so I’m not sure what they would think about that. I always leave the original card info visible and stamp that I have taken “creative indulgence” with the cards. Hope that’s enough to make them legit!

Well, if you used their cards in the first place, you might be crossing a line with them with your “creative indulgence”. Then, you might want to try to market them in another way.
P.S. Call me V.

I think that some of my cards could not be mass marketed because of what I use for “stock” but I can’t imagine printing enough for that to be a problem. I do have loads of cards to print that won’t have that issue but where’s the challenge in that? Thanks again, V.
