Making Crafty Cards into Business

Rebecca Mead’s workshop is a small kitchen table and she was festinated by making craft work which she learnt while she was a child and learnt to sew by using paper instead of using cloth.

I am interested in Rebecca used her child-hood sewing skill to generate
“card-making”. Also she utilized the other people’s paintings, drawings, printings,
patterns, and some of graphic into her creation job, and then Rebecca casted and
sewed them to make the beautiful cards. Normally, she using a medium-gauge white
card. Besides, she looked for a variety of interesting papers, such as the textile,
Patterns, sequins and wallpapers to decorate on the top of card.

Overall, it is a great idea that designer combined different medium and skills to design her own craft work, and turned into a small business and settled on making arty, innovative cards. I like the idea that she sold her compositions on the cards and offered some blank space inside so that purchasers can fill them with whatever they like. Rebecca was so proud of her creative job and she said “It has been amazing how easy they are to sell. They seem to be quite accessible. I’m just a small business at the moment, but hope to get bigger.”
