Trying an Etsy Card

[Sarah VanDam]

I got the idea that it could be fun to make cards to put on Etsy. So, I got a Cricut machine and am trying out this design where two butterflies interlock to close the card. I’m kind of wondering if I’m going to spread myself too thin in doing this, ‘cause it’s proving to be a lot of work, but I want to try!

Any thoughts, critique or encouragement on this?

@Sarah-VanDam This is so pretty! Looks like heaps of work, for sure.

@Sarah-VanDam Gorgeous! Have you tried to let friends/ family/ stranger open them without your help to test if they could get ripped?

Sometimes we make something and sort of know how it works, so our body knows how to handle something we make even if it is fragile... but it could rip easily in the hand of customers or strangers. Speaking from experience when my cousin sent me a complicated pop up penguin card

@ArtMelC Thank you! I’ll make sure to do that
