Note Card Set-Part 2

This is the first set I did the other night. It took longer than I thought, but maybe that's because I was gossiping on the phone and watching Criminal Minds at the same time.

But first I want to say thanks to everyone who gave me advice on how I should market these note cards for my Walk. Great advice! I have decided to do 8 cards with white envelopes packaged in a clear envelope for $10. My first set, as you can see, also included some dsp on it. I have decided not to use dsp, just a colored stamp somewhere in the corner and in the bottom corner of the envelope. It moved much quicker and I was able to make the sets faster. I did 2 more sets last night using Real Red and Briliant Blue as the cardstock base. I'll post those later on tonight.

Note Card Set

Hello out there,

*

I wanted to share with you a very cute idea. In my SU group we received a beautiful notecard set for Christmas. As you can see this beautiful set consists of 20 notecards, which are just SU Very Vanilla CS cut in fours and stamp at the bottom corner. The notecards are wrapped together with a vellum band and embellished using the punches. Now what I think really sets this gift apart is how they decorated the holder. Which I am told was just an acrylic photo frame without the cardboard back. How stinkin' clever is that? And then it was decorated with double-sided DSP. Now I've been looking for these frames or something comparable and have had no luck. The one place I have not checked yet is Hobby Lobby.

Now I was thinking, wouldn't this be a great way to raise money for my walk? I would offer the notecards and the money raised would go directly to the March for Babies. I have decided to include a small note explaining the walk and why we are doing it. Now here is where I need your help...

• ...should I package them in just the clear envelopes?(cost would be cheaper)
• ...how many should I offer in a package?
• ...how much should I charge?

Help me out ladies, I need all your great ideas!!!

March for Babies

Just a quick side-note. I have decided to walk in the March for Babies Walk for Premature Awareness sponsored by the March of Dimes. The walk will take place on Sunday April 26, 2009. I have thought about doing this for about 3 years and have never gone beyond "thinking". Well this is the year for me to do it. I plan to get my boys involved as well because they are the reason I am doing this. Why? Because Alexander was born 10 weeks early weighing 2 pounds and 10 ounces and Nickolas was born 14 weeks early weighing 1 pound and 1 ounce. So what better way to help out an organization who had a big "behind the scenes" effect on the survival of my two boys.

Wish me luck-it's a 3 mile walk!!!
