Good Morning Stampers!
A couple of days ago I read an interesting article about things that we buy which have an incredibly high mark-up - and I wasn't surprised to see greeting cards on the list. It stated that the mark-up on greeting cards is 200% - can you believe that?! One reason people are willing to spend their money is on greeting cards is because of the convenience. Hopefully all of you stampers out there keep a good stock on hand so you don't have to waste your money buying cards at the store! In the article they also mentioned that the cards that people save are the ones that somebody made for them - it could be something that your child made or a hand stamped card received from someone you love! Today I will share a few more of the cards we made at class.
