How to Make Greeting Cards for Your Home Stationery Business

Hi, we made a newer video on this topic with more updated info, watch here!    • How to start a greeting card business...  

Updates:

I created my own greeting card template to place 2 cards on a single page, now available in A2, A6 and A7 size: https://www.easysundayclub.com/collec....

Whether you are just starting out and not sure which paper is best for you, or you're ready to commit to a card stock to print your card designs, here are the card stock and paper companies I use for my business and recommend:
- Red River offers high quality card stock for artists and photographers. My favorites are their River Linen and Polar White Matte card stock: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/cards...
- Unfortunately one of my recommended store for lower quantity card stock went out of business in 2021. My current go-to supplier is (lower cost but you have to commit to higher quantity): https://www.thepapermillstore.com/car...
It took me a couple of years before I started buying card stock in bulk once I committed to a single type of card stock. It's ok to start with small quantity even if the cost per sheet is higher, but do make sure you cards are profitable!
