I’ve just added five sets of gift tags to my Etsy Shop.
One set (pictured below) features blue/green/tan-ish Basic Grey paper with sage green raffia flower and tie. Click here to view the item listing.

The next two sets include a brown and light blue polka-dot paper and blue raffia flower ties. (I can’t recall what line the paper is from, sorry!) Click here to view the listing.

Finally, I have two sets of five brown and light blue paisley-patterned paper with blue raffia ties (same paper line as above… but the name escapes me). Click here to view the listing.

If you have a specific gift card color scheme/design you’re looking for or would like them in a larger quantity, please send me an email (amykant-at-gmail-dot-com) or convo me on Etsy.

I absolutely love making cards - greeting cards, postcards, note cards, invitations, thank yous, etc…
For awhile I’ve been thinking about starting a small business. I have taken the first step - opening an Etsy shop - and my father and I are exhibiting at a craft/artisan fair in November. I am also looking into selling some religious-themed items on consignment at my church’s bookstore.
Etsy has an Alchemy feature - where people can commission custom handmade work from the Etsy community. I have been looking over some of these solicitations for the past couple days and have almost placed a couple card/invitation-related bids.
I figure, it’s one way to start, right?
You see… some day, I would love to design/make custom, handmade wedding invitations, baby announcements, thank yous, etc.
What is the best way to start?
P.S. Gotta come up with a business card design… ugh.
P.P.S. the images in this post are ATCs (artist trading cards) I’ve made for swap-bot swaps.
