Unbelievably amazing! Yes it’s definitely cute! You’re so talented!

Well video is up for some month but my Idea or suggestion would be to coat by yourself if you dont find the right paper. This might not end up in the same way as the paper itself but could be an alternative. By that i mean like most sticker shops using some protective vinyl sheets on top of your printed cards. Then you could also use glittery effects and stuff to create more special ones. Yes its increase of working time and material costs but I would think this could be same with price for the liked paper in the end. Hope this helps or give another idea to try 🙈

You left out the cost of sales. You likely spend money on booth space and you spend your time sitting in your booth selling products.

What else can i use at the back if cant get strawboard or chipboard

Super helpful! Thanks

Great information and ideas! Thanks so much for sharing :) My cards have been selling well at a local gift shop for almost two years. It's so much fun :)

This is such a helpful video! The simple realization that not everything is worth selling wholesale was life changing for me!! Thank you soooo very much!!!!!!!!!!!! Love how helpful you are.

Thanks Rebecca, hi from Ontario. Thank you for making this video, I’ve had a channel for ages but keep deleting my videos because I’m never happy with them. Video clip storage keeps being an issue too. I’ll take your tips to heart and hope to breathe some life into my video creating motivation.

I added a comment a few minutes ago, but then I got distracted. I must have clicked on something else and my comment disappeared. So, I'll try again. Here goes take #2: I like the vulnerability that you show in your videos. Creating art to show others is scary. In your videos, you "put yourself out there". I thank you so very much for doing that. I watched your video on making cards. It was so informative. Please keep making videos, and please keep showing us your vulnerable side. I'm blown away, not only by your art. I'm blown away by your ability to make us all feel like we can create art. Thank you.

I am making a special journal for my daughter. I have used cardstock for cover sheets but bit sure of paper weight for journaling. I like constitution paper feel what would you recommend?

Wow, i love it pict. I hope next you can teach we to painting. I like your paint.

This is the best tutorial I have seen in a while!! You are so natural, and pleasant! A terrific design and cheap and easy to do! Thank you so much!!!! Sue

It’s probably not the cheapest, but Red River Paper makes some great card stock. You can buy the paper in sheets (and some in rolls) and they also make pre-scored cards in different sizes. I like a matte finish, so I use Polar Matte 60 lb - or Pecos River Gloss if I want the shine. Great company - but they are US-based.

I love the idea of flipping from client-focused revenue to income-producing products. Your channel is great, Rebecca. I’m always hesitant to share my art because I’m so focused on my consulting business but the creative in me is calling louder these days.

Thank you so much for posting this video! The way you talk about your art; describing, and critiquing it is so helpful and reminds me of my art teacher in high school. He thought me so much in those formative years on how to truly observe the world and translate what I see into a story on the page in a way that is clear and unique. That is exactly what I see you doing in your work. I often fall on trying new styles nearly every time I pick up the pencil, but you have inspired me to get back into the mode of creating a "concentration" (as we called it in AP art) again and really narrow down my style into a cohesive thought. Thank you again, Keep doing what you're doing!

Wher did u purchase ur rubber stamp

Congrats to 10k!!

Nice, you don't score your cards, just fold them.

Do you make any color adjustments before printing? I prototyped a notepad based off of your previous tutorial, and couldn’t get the color to come out as vibrant as yours seem to be!

Fascinating demo! Thank you. 🎉

I like the card a lot! Have a great day, and thanks for posting! 🎉 from New New Hampshire USA.😊

Thank you so much Rebecca. You're very generous with the information you put out for free so I'm sure those who're interested and financially able would not mind the pay wall! I did want to ask you about the Kromekote paper- I have an ET-2800 and no matter what I do I end up having "pizza wheel" marks with my inkjet. I read that it's because the ink isn't drying fast enough so the rollers end up transferring the ink and I suspect the thickness of the paper might also ply a role. I've already turned on quiet mode and the "thick paper/envelope" setting but to no avail. It normally has that issue with glossy sticker paper but the lines are not as nearly noticeable. I believe you also have an Epson Ecotank so I wanted to ask if there's anything else you recommend? I think it may just be my specific model but wanted to double check before trying out another paper because I absolutely loved it! I believe RedRiver paper might be what I try next since they also have the cover glossy paper and many recommend it for greeting cards. Thank you again!

Ty and especially for showing us in another video how to make a stand for art prints. I made two 😊

Where I am in Ontario , Canada these foam boards cost $1.50 for white and $2.00 for black. I made a white one then today I bought some black foam boards and cut out the pieces and will glue it together tomorrow. Can't wait to see how the black looks!

Thank you for sharing your card ideas. They are very practical. What is the best software to use to make cards without compromising your intellectual property?

Thanks for doing this video. Where did you get that cute couch? I love the pattern on it.

What thickness is the paper (gsm)?

I know this is an old video, hoping you'll see this comment. How do you ship your card orders to your customers? Are they in a ridged mailer even if it's just one card ordered? Thank you for this amazing video! It has been so helpful.

Does the gloss side crack a bit along the score and fold?

Very well done I am going to try this! Thanks for the video Tutorial !

Cute!

Thanks so much for all of the hard work and research you are doing. The paper looks lovely. I wish they made a semi gloss because that’s more my style. I may bite the bullet and try this one out for fun, but holy cow Amazon wants $108 for the paper. Why this is the case I’ll never understand since we make paper here in Canada (Cornwall). I swear we’re making it for the US and they sell it back to us for double! 😝 Now that wouldn’t surprise me.

So glad I found your channel just now! I’m Canadian and it has been so hard to find reference that is relatable. I can relate to the paper issue. I’ve been hunting for years and still haven’t found anything I love that was recommended from other CZcamsrs. But they say customers don’t care too much about the paper as long as the print is nice and decent thickness. I guess my expectations are too high - lol! I purchased a very expensive Canon pro 100 a few years ago after watching many videos of artists recommending it for quality prints. But let me tell ya, it is a money sucker with ink! I feel like it asks me to replace ink after only 20 pages..if I’m lucky. It’s absolutely ridiculous! I’ve been looking at the Epson Eco Tanks with the dura bright ink (important), but I want a higher end brand. I think you are on the right track with that! Anyway, thank you for your generous content. I subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Hoping there is one on how you ship your cards and cost, because boy Canada Post is insanely expensive. I’m curious if you bother offering tracking or if you use regular mail-and all that good stuff. Alright! I’m off to binge watch your channel!🤗

What is the name of the sketchbook? Is it good for watercolor

girl I'm so the same. I know i have boring editing to do but I want to be fun and artsy and procrastinate lol

This is so good, sounds like an amazing holiday ☺☺

This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much for your time and detail.

I miss your post update miss. Finally i find it today. Great job.

Glad you had a nice holiday...thanks for sharing all the new art and sketches. 🎉 👏

Hi, thank you for this video... I do have a question. Do you identify the source of your cards, on the backs, in any kind of signature? I've been making watercolor cards for a while and want to expand my business into printed cards. I am interested in how you identify your cards, as a way of helping your business grow in future. Thank you!🎉

Thank you thank you thank you great video you've got a new subscriber

This is fantastic! You’re a great teacher.

Thanks great video

Thank you so much!

Love this video. Thanks for all of the info. Be careful. That constant repetition on your hands may take its toll. Speaking from experience.

Could I possibly ask what thickness or pt. of chipboard you use? Its the one thing I can't find an answer to and my notepads are so flimsy! But I don't want to spend a fortune buying the wrong weight! I would so appreciate any insight you could offer...

Amazing Rebecca! Thank you.

Thank you! This is a really great project to use up the foam core I already had available. My first art show is coming up & I don't want to invest too much yet. Very detailed which is sometimes the part that is missing from other videos.

So gorgeous! 🌼

Great tutorial and great product. I wish you loads of success! Thank you for sharing. <3
