Greeting Cards? Who buys them?

I recently read an article on the spruce.com about who buys Greeting cards

1.) More than7 billion greeting cards are purchased every year with the annual retail sales of greeting cards are estimated at more than $7.5 billion.
2.)Nine out of every ten households buy greeting cards each year. (I need to research how many cards are created) The average household buys thirty individual greeting cards a year.

3.)According to the Greeting Card Association, women account for eighty percent of greeting card sales. This means that four out of five purchases are going to be made by a woman. .

4.)When men buy cards they are likely to buy cards for special occasions and generally only for their partner and family.
5.)A greeting card can cost anything from 50 cents through to 10 dollars in a retail store. The average price of a greeting card falls between the $2 – $4 price band.
6.)The Greeting Card Association also reports that cards featuring special techniques, intricate designs, and new technologies are at the top of the price scale. This would suggest that handmade cards that feature lots of detail and unique designs should be able to command higher prices.

I have been doing craft shows for several years and I know that I do not ask enough for my cards, but I want them to brighten someone's day. What was the last card you purchased?

How about a cute sample? This card and cute treat bag made with the Pick a Pattern DSP.

Yes this paper is included in the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Special. You can find this on page 188 of the Annual Catalog # 144163.

Easter in February?

Temps in the high 50's here in PA in Feb? While not the normal- I'm loving it (not a cold weather gal!) Warmer temps have me spring cleaning and thinking of spring projects- so when my friend Deb and I got together to create we decided to start on some Easter items. Starting today and for the next 10 days (or more) we'll be sharing some Easter treats, home decor and more! We have a facebook page together called Creative Duo- have you checked it out? Stop by there and like our page!
We decided to use the Basket Bunch Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. Have you seen this set- it is so cute!

We'll start off with treats - we have these great cello bags that we created toppers for....here is my first one- these are simple and quick to create.

Here's a close up of the topper-

These little bunnies are so adorable!

Do you create treats for the holidays? A little chocolate can make someone's day!

Ready to place an order you can shop my website 24/7 or contact me to place your order.

Tea-riffic Treats!

TEA BAG HOLDER

Cut your paper to 3″ x 9 1/4 ″

Score your paper at 3 1/2″, 4″, 4 1/2″ and 8 1/4″

Fold on your score lines creating a “W” shape. (I hope that makes sense??). The end with the narrowest scored piece is the front flap. Use the Corner rounder punch on this flap. Use tear and tape to hold the scored section (W) together. I used two glue dots (one on each side to make a pouch to hold the tea bag inside. Cut out the tea cut with the Cups and Kettles framelit on the Have a Cuppa DSP. Stamped the verse from the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set and punched out with an oval punch. Add a bow to the front flap. Flap is held together with a velco dot.

Blessings, Missy

Welcome back to this month's RemARKable Blog Tour! Time to show you another Holiday Catalogue Bundle! I know it's not Halloween yet, but I'm creating samples for an upcoming Holiday Craft Class - and you get a sneak peak!

The Bundle I'm creating with is the Reason for the Season Stamp Set and the Festive Flower Builder Punch #140847 $33.00.

This bundle is so versatile! The stamp set can be used as a watercolor image or 2 step stamped to add the outlines. Love the greetings in the set too! The punch is so easy to use and I can see lots of punch art being created with the shapes on this punch.

Here's my first card for my Holiday Craft Class

Supplies: Bundle from above - Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry Cardstock, Home for Christmas DSP, Gold Glitter Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Cherry Cobbler Ink. Tags & Labels Framelits, Big Shot, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Ready for the next sample? I'm really excited to share this one with you!!!!

It's a gift bag, with an insert - could hold a gift card, cash or a small piece of jewelry. The insert is lifted out by the ribbon tab- this could be used in Project Life or hung on your tree. The best part is what the treat bag is made out of - yep it's die cut from our glassine sheets!!

Supplies used- Reason for the season Stamp Set, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Shimmering White Cardstock, Glassine Sheets, Gold Glitter Ribbon, Old Olive, & Cherry Cobbler Ink, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Snail Adhesive, Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, Big Shot
