i make cards too! but most of the time i dont get paid for it when family for it because when they say 'can you make a card for X' it never seems to occur to them that it costs money to make and i suppose were in the habit now... but. im not asked to do it very often. its mainly mum who asks. but if anyone else asks i mention the cost - i managed to sell a few cards when i was in college.

i love it though.

there are cards on my blog - its mixed in with jewellery and atc's though. i think most of the cards are in the older posts

Hi there!
I was reading your posts and wondering, how it is possible... You said that in Ireland card making is very popular, but not quilling I love that technique and if want to see how it looks on card drop in to may blog:

I couldn't find any good craft shop with range of quilling stuff, so I need to buy on ebay.

I learned Quilling a long time ago, but never kept it up, as I found decoupage and found it much quicker

Wow, the cards you're making really look awesome!
I'm making playing cards, but usually it's just for myself (so far)

hey, I have recently started Cardmaking as a hobby but would love to sell them when I get good enough. Im having a little bit of a problem with my cards looking amatuerish though.. Can anyone give me some advice? I can upload a pic is it helps...?

Aishae

kick - are they artist trading cards?

ciara - its a great hobby! some people manage to sell cards but most who i know only sell to family and friends. some people know someone who owns a shop and will put a basket of cards on display - and not want a high a cut as most shops do. farmers markets and craft markets if the stall price isnt too high - word of mouth i s the best though!

CiaraMG21

Aish - Thanks for the advice. Im having trouble making them look sell worthy though if you know what I mean? maybe Im just too critical of my work...

Aishae

could be - sure you can post pics to ask for advice. we are our own worst critics though!!!
theres also the cara craft supplies forum i use - great place for cardies. great inspiration.

Aishae, there is some pictures of my cards on the thread 'Cardmaking - Feedback Appreciated'
Would you mind taking a look and give me some advice? I know they are a LONG way off perfect or sellable in any way yet..
