I was just wondering if you give them away or not? I take a picture of them and then I give them away. No point in having them sitting there collecting dust. I give away the harder ones too...the ones I know I won't EVER make on my own because they are too hard.
I use my cards for my own personal use, and then I also sell them at work.
I take a picture of each one so I have a record of it, in case I want to make it again, or if someone asks for one in particular.

Oh yes. I give them in packs as gifts to teachers (and I've been told by several that they look forward to receiving my gifts of cards each Christmas! that thrilled me!). I also give some to my grandmother as she sends out a lot of birthday ones and to a woman in my church who writes to her friend frequently. I send a lot out on my own to people in my church who are sick or need encouragement, for birthdays, and just to keep in touch.
I make cards for family and friends for special occasions. I've made sets of cards for friends as well, again I give them out for birthdays. I have never tried to sell cards, for me it's more of a hobby.
I make them for personal use, keep my mum supplied and recently started to sell them.
I often make stamped gifts: notebooks, photobooks, coasters.........etc etc and also packages of cards (mixed, thank you cards, birthday cards)

My niece has got me thinking about green living and reuse/recycle. When I give sets of cards as gifts, I'm trying to make them with extra, removable inserts and spare envelopes. That way, a recipient can pop in a new insert and re-send the card.
The cardstock inserts are smaller than the outer dimensions of the card. They are held in place with slots cut by a Making Memories slot punch, although photo corners would also work.

What a great idea this is!!

I use most of them. I belong to a swap club and get more than I can use so I have given them away. I don't sell because I don't want my card making to feel like business instead of fun.

I give them away. I make them for that purpose. I also keep my mother supplied with cards. I make a bunch for my mother in law too. I have given sets away as gifts too.
I also join swaps here and get more than I can use. My son and I are organizing a collection for a group that sends supplies to local military personnel serving overseas so I am gathering up my extras to send to the troops.

I give others the ones I made. I keep the ones from swaps and weekly make n' take session. I am thinking of giving those away and just take pictures of the ones I think I will make again.

I use some, I give some as gifts in packages, I sell some, and I just started making some to give to the ladies in the church that send them out as a ministry.
I mostly give mine away. I make birthday cards for my entire family and all holiday cards. I am starting to make some as gifts. I want to try to sell some but don't have a stash built up yet.
I usually send them to family or use them to send to friends on a RAK group I belong to on another board. I'd love to sell them, but there doesn't seem to be much of a market here.
I don't make a whole lot of cards, but when I do, some go to family, the rest go to the troops.

I usually make my mine for either my own use or for swaps I do on another board.
I also make some for others, too. Specifically, my mom, MIL, my kid's god-mother, and my cousin.
I've sold a set of wedding invites, and some graduation invites, and a few singles, but nothing major, and I don't know if I want to. Just when/if someone asks.
Do you give away your cards?
