Tips & techniques on how to sell your handmade crafts easily, confidently & successfully : 3D Butterfly card using Stampin Up Feel Good stamps & butterfly punch

Hi there, good to see you! Today's card theme is butterflies or "flutterbyes" as my youngest daughter says ;)

The photo looks really crooked doesn't it - the card wasn't I can assure you! Here's a close up of the 3-layered butterflies ...

Continuing on with my daily blog challenge, this card was designed for the following challenges which required either butterflies, so saffron & basic black colours or adhering to a sketch ...

Fab n Funky - add a sentiment

I used basic black cardstock as my background and layered it with whisper white which was run through the big shot with the polka dot embossing folder. The ribbon is so saffron taffeta and I used the butterfly punch and yellow ptterned designer series papers to make the 3 layered butterflies and then the bitty butterfly punch for the teeny tiny butterflies which were punched from some retired papers from á suite called Mocha Morning. The butterflies were finished with some basic pearls and the sentiment stamped in so saffron using the Feels Good stamp set.

A couple of months ago I asked you about increasing interaction on my page & you gave me advice around engagement and asking questions to my customers building up trust. Since doing this I have noticed that my interaction talked about figures have gone up people are engaging more in my posts and we are building up trust which had resulted in a few more sales!

I started to make jewellery as a hobby in 2010 since then i have gathered various skills, which has caused customers at work, friends and family to say "oooh you should sell your creations". I fumbled around with advertising, a single fair and a couple of car boots. I found i wasn't doing very well and started to get frustrated and looked for help. I immediately found Marketing Creatively and since then everything has changed for my business and I! Using the 50 "cardinal rules" (as i call them) and every single piece of information i can suck from your blog, I am starting to expand my reach ten fold, i am finding networking much easier and much more focused, I am now blogging, which to my surprise is a big hit, and i am also planning to do tutorial videos and contact my local newspapers and such to get a bit of coverage. All in all I can't thank you enough. You have been such a great inspiration and help and I know I couldn't have done it without your support, and the support.
