Leaf Note Cards

Hello!  I just have a quick project share with you today.  I have been trying to make some notecards to donate to my daughter’s school for their annual fund raiser.   This is the first of 3 sets that I have completed. 

Here is a look at one of the cards in the set.  I didn’t include photos of each card because they are all pretty similar.

Here is a look at the entire set.   The photo is a little warm.  The coloring in the photo above is more accurate.  Each is lined with Papertrey Rustic Cream cardstock.

So what do you think?  Do you think asking for a minimum bid of $5 for 6 notecards and envelopes is too high?  I’m not sure what to put on them. 

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!

These are gorgeous! I don't think $5.00 is too high! I think you can go $7-$8.00

I'm sure you're going to package them too!

These turned out really pretty. I like the reversed punch.

I think your price is totally fair, if not on the lower side.

Good luck!

I don't think that is too high a price for such beautiful cards. You never know what people will pay though. Where I live people seem to think auction means really cheap and they just won't bid unless it's below value.

Chana Malkah said...

Absolutely Stunning CAS Design! I think your cards will do well at the auction! Fantastic work! Your project is CAS at it's most powerful! Thanks for playing in the CAS challenge this week at Jackson's Digital Expressions!

I love these, really elegant! Thanks for joining us at Use it Tuesday!

Marianne said...

These are just gorgeous Cheryl. I think $5 for the set is an absolute bargain but I guess it's a good starting price. I'm sure people will jump at a chance to buy these.

Thrifty Finn said...

I agree with Marianne. 5 dollars is way too cheap but as a starting price it's okay. You have to think how much one of these cards would cost in a store.

Crafty and Green said...
