Card Making
The art of making
greetings cards has become a very popular hobby over the
last decade and has steadiily grown alongside
scrapbooking and rubber stamping. There are
now several magazines in the UK and the US that are
devoted to cardmaking, aswell as over 150 books published
on the subject.
Handmade items have become
increasingly popular to consumers, and handmade cards are
no exception. Over the past couple of years
crafters have tried to make a profit from their card
making by setting up small businesses. The
popularity of e-bay has made this possible for many
crafters, along with the low set-up costs of websites and
internet based selling. This has also had an effect
on the increased popularity of craft fairs and craft
markets.
