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.
