I am so excited. If you're anything like me you have stacks of cards that you make that never go anywhere, LOL. I've had many comments from friends and family to sell my cards on etsy, etc. Well, I wasn't sure about etsy, I set up an account but didn't want to pay fees for cards that will just sit there. So I did an experiment. I made a batch of cards for mother's day (you can view them
here) and sent them with my mom to her work as there had already been interest in my cards (I donated some for an event they had) but I didn't think they would actually sell given the opportunity, you know. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! Not only did the original 6 sell the very first day but each night I've been commissioned to do 2-3 more. I have also sent in a box of about 25 all occassion cards hoping those will start selling too! I am really in shock. I never thought I would get such an awesome response. The three cards showcased above are all custom (sold) creations.....as you can see I have printed custom sentiments as well since I don't have a stamp that says grandmother or nanny! LOL It's been fun and exciting. I need to buy cardstock as I'm completely out (was running low anyway) and I did buy the new labels 1 nestie set with my "profit". I have no idea if it's really profit or not but I bought the nesties! (as you can see I've already had fun with them)
I feel bad b/c I have not had time to do my DT assignments so I will be playing catch up tonight as long as I don't have any more requests come home! There are some awesome contests going on at
The Digi Shack - check it out the prizes are AWESOME! Also, join us for some party chat at PaperCraftPlanet! You can find our group

Awesome possum... I'm playing with the idea of an Etsy store too, but I'm just not sure! Yeah for you though!!
AWESOME! Congrats!
That's wonderful! I think all of us are probably looking for ways to sell (or something) our huge backlog of created stuff. I'm so glad you found an outlet for that!
Good for you!! These are awesome cards, I am sure they loved them.
