3D Handmade Cards

[Spotted Paw Creations]

Hi everyone!

My name is Donna Bell.

I just opened up my shop today.

I make paper tole (3D) cards.

At my shop I have Halloween and Thanksgiving themed cards.

In a couple of months I will be updating with some Christmas and New Year's cards.

Come by my shop and tell me what you think.

The name of my shop is Spotted Paw Creations.

Your cards look intricately cut!  Nice work.

Hi Donna,

Welcome to icraft.  Your cards are very interesting.  I would guess that it's not too early to start adding Christmas themed cards into your shop now.

I am making some Christmas tags and will have them on sometime next week.  I will put on some Christmas cards after the Canadian Thanksgiving.

I have a group on facebook and I joined twitter today.

I believe Twitter has been discussed in the "bootcamp" forums here.  If you replacement you might find something useful if you are new to it.  (I don't use Facebook or Tweet myself.)

Hi Spotted Paw Creations,

Welcome to iCraft Community! Glad to have you on board. 
Your cards are lovely and just in time for Halloween. I'll be sure we include some of them in our Newsletter that's coming out soon.

Just wanted to mention that you can join us on Twitter http://twitter.com/icraft or Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/iCraftca/7670217021 as well.

I am getting into Christmas mode now.  In a couple of weeks have have two Christmas Craft sales I am selling at.  Making cards every spare moment I have.  I will give an update about how everything went!

Hey Spotted Paws!  Sounds like you are really launching into the Christmas season!!!  I just finished 41 Christmas stockings for some shows that I have coming up along with a heap of decorative pillows too.

By the way, I use twitter a lot too, not so much Facebook, to promote my work and it has brought me business.  It doesn't come overnight but is worth the investment of time.

List lots, and frequently, as Google likes to see new content.  The more new stuff that Google finds, the more frequently it visits your site which helps to put you on the top (or near the top) of the heap in your product category.

Make your store Google friendly! Keywords and  SEO are things that you should read up on in the forums and in the Bootcamps.

Let us know how you make out at the Christmas events and share your best tips as I'm new to them too!

Cheers
Christine

Wishing you luck at your events!  Will love to hear how they go for you.

Thank you everyone for your advice and encouragement.  I am planing on putting more items in my store this week.  This is such a busy time of year.  I will have to write in my day planer a day and time to add at least one item every week.  In the new year I am going to start a blog.

Looking forward to seeing the holiday-themed cards! Thanks for posting!

Today I forced myself to sit at the computer and put on a new listing!  Lots more cards to come.  Will try to put on one a day for a while.

Awesome!

Just had my first craft show on Saturday! I sold 25 cards and 57 gift tags! I also had lots of really great comments. A lot of people are sending the cards to family and friends over seas.
