How to Create a Handmade Greeting Card "Factory."

You can actually make a living constructing and making handmade cards at home.  I did this by servicing over 2,000 stores for about 15 years making cards this way. Of course, after awhile I paid other people to make the cards.

Here is an example of how I set up my manufacturing process for my card business.

Step 1 Gather Materials

Gather all materials you need for your card. This task requires I have glue, cardback, envelope, cello bag, card text square, and image square. I will assemble them all and make a card.

 I loved your instructable, but would also like to hear about who you contacted at the stores, what your pitch was for them to sell your cards and how often you scheduled replacing the cards.  More of the business side would be very helpful!  Thanks!
