A friend asked me to make 2 graduation cards for her. School colors red and black. I outlined the hat with the sakura black glaze pen, and added black diamond stickles to the tassel and the top of the cap. one has red eyelets, the other has black. Dunno who makes that paper, but I got it at Mikes. I have no idea what to charge for them? Suggestions?

These are perfect!! By reading all the other posts I'm beginning to realize I sell my cards too cheap! LOL! I charge $2.50 each but you can definitely get more!

Love your cards.
In Minneapolis, handmade cards retail for $4 and up. When I sold to a store, they gave me $2 and charged customers $4, so when I sell directly to friends/family, I split the difference and charge $3, but I'd still charge $4 if selling at craft fairs, internet, etc.

These are so NICE! I love these. I have this set and have never been able to come up with a design for using the graduation cap that I liked. Like Taylor, I also charge 2.00 to 2.30 a card. I never know what to charge. Looks like I don't charge enough either.

Nice card and commenting on what you charge....I know that Pier One carries homemade cards and they charge 4.95 to 5.00 each for them.....I think it really depends on the time and materials so if you can come up with something not too time consuming I think 4.95 is very fair....Homemades are very special and one of a kind

Simple and pretty - I also think $3 is more than reasonable - custom made cards with envelopes - she'd pay just as much if not more at Hallmark and they wouldn't be nearly as cute.
