wow.. you should sell them... you know, somebody handmade these cards and sell for $5-6, some are even >$10 depends on the design...  really good profit (although I don't know how much is the raw materials, overhead, etc. but selling for $5-6 I think it's pretty high, am I right? Hallmark ones are only around $3-4)

多謝.. 其實我自己自問就真係冇乜藝術天分, 你地見到既呢幾張都係人地 pre-cut 左既 shapes 同 papers. 佢地已經配搭好邊個打邊個, 邊個印邊度, 我照抄住0黎整.... All I need is to glue them together! 哈哈... 如果你地都去上佢地既 make n take classes 呢, 一樣可以做到!

LP, 我見出面賣 at least $4/card just for a simple design! 我就算係賣, 都唔會有人會買我既作品 =).... (我未有fibbi 同claichan 整得0甘有水準啦, 佢地整得好靚架!)

LP:
I'm also beginner la...It takes me so much time to make one.
I can understand the high price tag for the handmade card. The materials: envelope, plastic bag. Those are already expensive to buy locally. The tools such as the embossing folder/machine, ink, rubber stamp, paper....they costs a lot. Even if I sell at $5 each...may not get the cost back...not even take consideration of the time spent on it...

But still...if I can just get $3 back for each...I'll be happy...at least cover some of the cost

你地識整的﹐我建議你地賣喇。。。第一﹐整左D卡賣比人有種開心的感覺﹐不是嗎﹖有人欣賞嘛。。。總好過放在一旁封塵﹐另外﹐正如 FIBBI 說的﹐ COVER 部份 COST 都好丫。。。

應該大力向D公司宣傳你們的產品﹐因為好多公司每年係咪都要送卡 (講真近年 PERSONAL 的 XMAS 卡真係收少左好多﹐最多係 COMMERCIAL 的)﹐一定有市場架﹐特別係D細公司﹐唔會大批買 HALLMARK 的卡﹐又想特別D﹐所以真係會有人買﹐老實講我老闆都買第二次喇﹐都係呢D HANDMADE CARD﹐次次埋單幾百我都覺得幾肉赤﹐但係他覺得開公數有得抵稅 OK 窩﹐所以訂完又訂。。。。

你地識 CRAFTS 的真係要加油啊~~~

你向一些小公司推銷﹐或者設一個網站來宣傳﹐這樣比較有效而且省錢。。。
講真我個人都覺得 $5-6 一張卡好貴﹐但賣點係手造﹐都會有人買﹐用埋 RECYCLE 紙D 白人仲好 BUY添﹐我去 LONSDALE QUAY 行街﹐有家店子都有賣﹐好似成 $10 張呀。。。

PL: 其實我自己都識整埋再做紙, 不過太過長時間啦... =(
妳老闆係咪都整卡架?

it's easier to say than to "sell".  I'm trying my best to make lots of christmas cards to sell to my co-workers and bosses.  (Sadly, I'm broke due to over-spending on scrapbooking materials)  They do love my cards but hand making cards take lots of time.  Usually, with the limited materials, I can only make max 3 cards of the same design...  

gosh, you can tell I really seriously thought making some money out of something I love to do....
