Spring is officially here! Well, in Arizona it feels like summer already. But I will imagine, for argument sake, that there is green grass for hiding eggs in my mostly dirt backyard. I have started making Easter cards for the 2022! When starting my business last year, I learned so much from local vendors, close friends, and even closer family members. I learned that content is key. How is it possible to know what I have available, if I do not post it? I've learned that there is a way that we all card shop, that I didn't consider before. I will be honest. I too, stand around the card aisles of Target, examining the competition. I realized that I like to read the message on the inside of the card, pondering if it is exactly what I want to say to a friend I haven't laid eyes on in at least half a decade. Cards, that my mother often reminds me to send out, thanking people for the gazillion blessings they shower over my family every year. I learned that cards are a dying breed among young people and yet, I make more because they aren't dead yet! and it makes me happy most of all. I learned that I have so much more to learn, not just about my business, but also about myself.
So in all of that learning, I have expanded my platform this year. I have added pre-made scrapbook pages, embellishment kits, die-cuts, and t-shirts. I have taken on a contract to make thank you cards for a local business as well as congratulations cards to my local hospital's Labor & Delivery floor. I couldn't have done this without all of you. I thank you, sincerely from the bottom of my heart.
So, before you go roaming those aisles of Target, think of CCC. I have begun to post the inside of my cards, so you will know exactly what they say. I upload my process videos, so you know exactly how they are made. And I ship within 1-2 days, so they can be there for you on time. Allow my cards to be the perfect words, to that perfect friend, no matter how many years there are between you. Thank you.
