Hello welcome back. I've been card making this morning, well anything to avoid putting the washing away! It actually got me thinking about what it takes to make card or more importantly what it costs to make a card. Now your regular card seller you find a craft fair has paid usually around £10 for the table (they may even have had to provide a table too!. So factor they need to sale 3-4 to cover the table fee. So £2 to £3.50 for a hand made card sound like a lot? This is what it took to make one card. The products on this table would cost over £50 to buy!. Now I'll admit it's not the most striking of cards so not really the best example but i am sure you will begin to see how £2.50 for a hand made card is not actually that much. Could you guess how much good quality card costs? Let's take an A4 piece for around 35 pence. Its a lot isn't it.
Of course card makers are mostly just funding the habit ( well helping to). The best part about buying a hand made card is the ability to have it personalised or set to a theme. Plus have you noticed how much it costs to buy a mass produced card from the high street!. How ever please don't let this post put you off getting into card making. You don't have to buy lots of products to produce a card. Of course you might want to!. As always thanks for reading I will leave you with some pictures of some of my recent card makes. Xxxxx
