Greeting Card designs UK?

JuniorDesigner

Hi there! :hello:

I design some cards for Greeting Card Universe but the site is predominantly US based and wondered whether there was a UK version at all?

Basically you upload your design and the sell it online and you receive commissions for sales etc but I can't seem to find any UK alternative?

Any pointers would be great!

Looking at that site it looks more like funky pigeon or moonpig rather than a site where you can create your own and receive commissions.

Zazzle have greeting cards on their site as well as other products and they allow you to have your own online shop, create designs and receive a commission on sales. Just make sure to sign up under zazzle.co.uk rather than zazzle.com.

Cafepress also have greeting cards and it works the same as Zazzle.

Also you can print your own and sell them at craft fairs, Christmas fairs and so on - a local paper supplier near here (also on line) sells pre-cut and pre-creased card stock. If you have a local 'fancy' town (i.e. somewhere with small stylish expensive shops) try to get some of those to take them. I despair at the junk cards they try to sell in WHS or Clintons these days.

Another one you could look into is Phoenix Trading, they are always on the lookout for new designers, although it's very competitive.

Can't post a link, so try googling phoenix trading artists.

I do Phoenix Trading and can thoroughly recommend them as a company. Their main site is www.phoenix-trading.co.uk.
