    Tracey - Do you sell your Christmas cards? I just made 50 of them to sell at my first craft show this December and don't know what is the going prices at craft shows? I read on the internet they go anywhere from $2.50-$5.00 depending on the detail and size of the card. My cards measure 5x7 and have detail (bling, ribbon, stamping, etc). Anyone with any suggestions would be appreciated. Never made cards before, I was a little stumped with ideas at first but once I got started I was on a roll....lol I think they came out pretty cute.

    I used to sell my cards on etsy.com but it has been a while. The way I did pricing was to determine how much money I spent on supplies and doubled that for my labor. So if I spent $25 (x2) = $50. I made 8 cards then divided the $50 it cost me by the 8 cards. I would at least charge $6.25 per card before shipping or tax if applicable. Hope that helps. Good luck with your booth.
