how I make high-quality, homemade, illustrated greeting cards ✨ & tips for successful sales!

Hello friends & welcome to the video where I share the entirety of my process for making greeting cards at home with you! Here’s a quick breakdown of everything we’ll cover:
◦ Design process (using Procreate and Photoshop)
◦ Printing tips & considerations (how to set up your printing document, how to account for bleed)
◦ What materials I use (my favourite paper, envelopes, cutting tools, scoreboard, + more! I try to be low-waste and eco-friendly as much as possible)
◦ Pricing (I share both my cost and pricing breakdowns, as well as share tips for how to price your own cards)
◦ I'll also share my thoughts on some important considerations to make before entering the world of making and selling greeting cards (i.e. how to make cards that actually sell in a very competitive market!)

One of the main reasons I decided to finally make this video is that I finally found the perfect greeting card paper! I’ll tell you all about it at 6:12 - here is my affiliate link to Red River Paper’s website if you’re looking to order some for yourself: https://www.redrivercatalog.com/?a_ai...

☀︎ important note ☀︎ I am based in Alberta, Canada so the prices discussed are in CAD and my tips are based on my experiences as a Canadian card maker and shop owner.
