Sunrise they are lovely, sorry I have no idea how much to charge. I'm terrible at asking people to pay for my stuff

we love crafting and making cards and everyone says we undercharge way too much but I just can't ask for more money we do it because we love it , we like to make a bit of profit but we're just c**p at the pricing side of it lol
someone help me please

Mary – take care – hope the medicine starts to work soon, and doesn’t cause too many side effects for you.

Flourgirl – the silhouette looks a lot like the ‘Craft Robo’ my OH bought me for Christmas. It can do some amazing things when you figure out how it all works. At the moment I still love my cuttlebug and nesties, so we currently have a his and her’s crafty thing going on in our house!

This is my OHs proper entry into TomsMoms challenge which has all been done with the Craft Robo.

Love the ‘stroppy’ little girl image – do they do one for boys, as sometimes that is my oldest to a tee :rotfl:.

Myz – hope you have had a better afternoon.

Lovely card Butterfly – simple but very elegant :T

Great robot card on your blog Rusty – not sure if anything is missing from it, but I love the layout you have used.

Sunrise – sorry I’m not sure how much you could sell the notelets for but just wanted to say are gorgeous.

Hoping to do some more cards tonight as my order from Craftsuperstore has arrived today, and I am really pleased with it. I ordered some of the gemstock card which is ‘lush’ and a mixed pack of 20 basic grey 12x12 papers. I love them as they are all different to what I have already in my stash.



edit: sorry for my links to the blog being so big - I have no idea why it is doing it, but it is driving me nuts:mad:

RustyFlange & Tomsmom - if you dont mind sending me some to play about with that'd b excellent please ... think hubby would kill nme if I bought anything else at the moment lol! Silly question ... but would do you do with them after re.\colouring them in?!?!!?:o

ETA - I've finally managed to make a couple of thank you cards - how do I go about showing people? Should I just upload them to photobox or something like that?

right lets try it another way
what if I charged £4 for them what do you think , too much ,not enough ???

HopeAndDriftWood

I think £4 is perfect, it was the price I was going to suggest. Only cuz that's around what I've seen similar selling for, though!
Make sure you get a little profit, and if you are, £4 is great in my opinion

I order bits and bobs from ebay all the time, I order from all over the world aswell and generally don't have a problem. I have emailed the seller of that stamp as I ordered 2 more from her and I have asked her to combine the shipping for me. 9 times out of 10 on an ebay auction they will state the postage to the UK if they ship here, order more than one item from there and if you ask nicely they will generally combine shipping. Never ordered from a website out of the UK though so can't help with that but then I guess that is where you have to think about tax etc? I have never had a problem though! Oh and I always pay by paypal a lot of sellers outside the UK and those of us who are happy to ship to those who don't live in the UK (me included) state paypal only for bidders outside the UK

thanks for the info, I will have to stop being chicken and brave it with something cheap foy my first try then Lol
