When I attended a craft show back in October to display some of my hand crafted cards and other paper crafts; I was approached by a woman who asked if I would be willing to create personalized Christmas cards for her family to give x25. She wanted them to be all identical.
It was fun project to take on and she was happy with her order!
Hard to tell in the picture...but the punched snowflakes have dazzling diamonds on them...the elf eyes have crystal effects on them (so they look 3D) and all the elves pom-poms have liquid applique & glitter on them. So the card had a lot of dimension. This was how I packaged her order. TFL!

This is just awesome. The wooden creat looks like the one those little oranges some in at the supermarket. What a creative idea. I'm sure your
customer will remember this gift for a very long time. May God bless you.

Thank you.....the crate IS from the little mandarin oranges that come out at the grocery store during the holiday season. I thought it made a great inexpensive packaging/basket. I just added a little paper & embellishment to it and.....voila!

Beautiful cards and love the packaging! I had a craft fair a couple of weeks ago and also got 2 orders for Christmas cards. They'll want about 20 each. I have no idea how much to charge. How did you decide??

What an awesome job. I have just been asked to do something similar. How did you gauge your price. I would be making cards in quantities of 10 - 12 cards.
