There seem to be an ever increasing number of occasions when a greeting card is appropriate. Not so many years ago greetings cards were mainly restricted to Christmas and birthdays but now there almost seems to be a card for every occasion. Just as the number of cards increases so does the public demand for something just a little bit different.

This can provide an opportunity for anyone with a little artistic flair to build a simple home business producing their own hand made greetings cards. It is not hard to make a greetings card which is going to stand out from the mass produced items available in card and gift shops.

It is a good idea to decide at the beginning exactly what style of cards you want to produce. If you can become known for a specific type of card that is easily recognised as your work then this can help establish your reputation in your local area.

You will need some basic items such as card and possibly some applique. If you visit your local magazine store you will find several craft magazines with adverts for card making materials. In some magazines you will also find useful articles on card making as well. Your local library should also have books on the subject.

One big mistake many card makers are guilty of is that they never sit down and actually work out the cost of their materials. Many consider that it is a hobby as much as a business but even so you do want to make a profit from your efforts. You should also decide how much profit you want to make from each card.

There are two main methods for selling the cards that you make. The first is by approaching local card and gift shops and offering them your cards to sell. Realistically very few will buy your cards; however, some may be willing to take them on sale of return. This means that you leave some stock with them and then return after say a month and they will pay you for any they have sold. Obviously they will expect a percentage of the sale price as their profit.
