I wont get much time this week for individual cards or creating this week as I have an order for 30 baby thank you cards that I got asked to make for a neighbour.
The problem I have is how much to charge I usually charge £1.50 for my cards unless they are very labour intensive. So I am in a real quandary.
The card is an A6 double sided pearl card blank stamped with thank you, a stamped & embossed image matted on pearl card stock, two rows of glitter peel off, a mini button or a mini hand tied ribbon bow & a printed insert with a doubles sided pearl envelope.
Update: after posing the same question on the Docrafts forum & opening a real can of worms, with many people saying that they charge similar prices, the consensus of opinion was that £1.50 was too cheap for a handcrafted card & as crafter's we under value ourselves.
So i decided that as we hadn't previously agreed a price for the batch of cards I would charge half of my normal price, but stating that it was a special price, that way should I get any further orders I am not committed to the same price & if they want christening invites or thank you cards I have room for negotiation, I thought that this seemed fair.
Sadly the images don't show how beautiful the two tone pearlescent cardstock is by Anitas ~ Timeless pearlescents range.
Lisa I don't sell my cards but personally I think you are under valuing yourself at £1.50...its so hard because people just don't realise how much love and hard work goes into making a card.

I agree with Emma, hun, but I understand it was a tricky situation. The cards are beautiful - just make sure you charge a LOT more than that if you do the Christening cards! Hugs, Debs xxxx
