Spring Garden Card Print

I’ve always wanted to be able to share my cards with others beyond just sending them to friends. I realized, though, that prints would be more affordable for people to purchase (and more time-efficient for me to produce) than originals. By now, I had a major collection of photographs of my original cards and artwork. It seemed I was one step away from card prints! I checked out local places to get cards printed, and found a very economical setup at our local office supply store. Above is one of my first prints—a photo of the very same painting as my last post.

The card prints came out beautifully, and after purchasing envelopes, packaging materials, and labels, I was ready to sell! Just last month I opened my greeting card shop on Etsy.com, called Countrygirl Art. The spring garden card was in one of the first sets I posted—you can see it here.

Print with Decorative Border

I should mention, Wal-Mart Photo Department was another place I looked for printing options. They offer a whole line of customizable prints, and you can even design greeting cards with your own photos. However, most of them have decorative borders (like the one I did above), which I didn’t really want. The price was also significantly higher than the office store. You can still make nice cards to send to your friends—their Christmas cards are especially good!
