Floral Greeting Cards On Zazzle

I seem to see a lot of greeting cards with floral images, and my own store is no exception. Many of these are my own photographs but I will use Public domain and CC licensed images when available.

The first cards here use images available from Dover Publications samples which are available for use in your own work, personal or commercial as long as you obey their rules which are really quite lax.

You will see that that there is a  difference in the text between these two cards; if you know Zazzle then you will know that it is nearly always possible to edit (or customise as Zazzle calls it) any item in their product range. Store owners/designers often allow customers to chcosse their own wording or edit what is shown to allow for the customers own personal message.
Also, many cards are left blank for those personal messages which seems to be a modern trend with art or craft based greeting cards.

Cards are available in three different sizes from 8.5 x 11inches (large card) to 4 x 5.6 inches (notecard). Prices reflect the size of the card.

Another similar design using a Dover sample, an image of a rose:-

The next card is an example of my own photography, this shot was of a wonderfully colourful bunch of flowers, too good to miss making further use of. One of a number of Mother's Day cards on my

Vintage Mothers Day Cards

Wow, sure is hard to make posts here regularly - I really must try to gee myself up. With the latest new poetry blog I now have seven on the go and I am writing articles on one or two web-sites. I am going to have to start to make a concerted effort to rationalise and plan my on-line activities.

Do you find that you spend too much time on forums without doing anything really positive ..... thats me; always procrastinating. I read rather than get down to doing that which I should be doing. A much more positive approach is needed.

Ok, enough self-development, what have I been doing on Zazzle?

I made a set of St Patricks Day cards and begorrah, I sold 24 of one design. A nice little earner.

Mothers' Day in the USA in 2012 is Sunday May 13th and a few weeks ago I started to create some mothers day cards with a view to possibly getting a few sales for this holiday. So far I have sold one card. That isn't going to make me rich. It is a small victory however, and I will be looking for more opportunities to create cards and expand my portfolio.  Like everything else on the internet, you need lots of "stuff" to even stand a chance. I am also trying to improve my SEO understanding to bring more visitors to the Zazzle store as well as my other web-sites.

Here are a sample of the vintage cards that I have in the store:

Of course not being sexist, I am also putting together a set of vintage fathers day cards, June 17th in the USA. Here is an examples of this set I have designed so far:


All the cards can be customised by changing or adding/subtracting any text and sentiments to make the cards personal. You can even add your own photographs.
