    Custom Greeting Cards

    I've recently started making my own cards and wanted to know if anyone was interested in purchasing a handmade card. I'm attaching two examples. I also have cat and dog themed stamps. The cards are 4x5 and the charge is $5 a card. Before you say that's a lot for one card, remember that the ones you buy in the store are at least $3(unless you go to the dollar store like my mom). Everyone I've shown these to at work says I should sell them so I'll start selling them here. Unless I know you pretty well, I'll only accept money orders.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Here's the New Year card I also do cards that use some things from scrapbooking, such as the crimped paper. I am very versatile.

    Here's some more I made. The dog, cat and flower ones are the most recent.

    Actually if you just go to WalMart or someplace like that the cards are usually around $1 each.

    But I think for the time and effort you put into those they're worth about $5. Beautiful job. <3

    I think $5 is perfect. You can't find unique cards like that for much less, if any less than $5 anymore. You can find super cute cards for cheap, but, they are very generic. Don't get me wrong, I usually end up buying the little 96 cents cards from Walmart, but, only because I can't afford much else. But, when I start working again, I usually try to find the more unique cards. I like all of the ones you've made, Val! The cats and dogs are wonderful! Are they stamps? They're adorable!!

    I don't know..I've never seen cards like this in walmart....I don't think they have a great selecion to be honest...no wonder they're only $1

    I REALLY want the kitty one Val..do you still have it?? I'll so buy it if you do hehe. I wouldn't give it to anyway though, I want it for myself...

    The kitty one is gone but I can always make another one. Kari, they're stamps and then colored with water color pencils which work much better than chalk. I need to change the price, too. I'm charging $6 instead of $5. I really think that's fair. They will be more on Ebay, though. I'm looking forward to the Ebay adventure. Jadapit has given me my first order. I'm so excited!
