So here are some photos of cards I have made in the past (some of the Xmas ones you may recognise!) I'll put them behind a cut for you. Have a look and please comment to say whether you would in theory consider buying such a card (and if so,

For good quality handmade cards (which yours most definitly are) I would pay £3.50 - £4 depending on the size/amount of ornamentation.

Thanks, that gives me an idea where to start.

I love the elephants :-D I don't tend to use cards, so stick to the free ones I get from charities I donate to, but I bet these would sell well. The cards I made a bit back have all but sold out in the store in Lawrence, where they were placed on consignment. They sold for $4 bucks each (that would be about £8... I think, my money conversion is a bit sketchy to say the least), and I'd say yours are nicer than mine.

I think the conversion is the other way round. 4 bucks for 2 pounds.
Thanks!

With regards to prices, have a look here

etsy is a place to buy & sell handmade stuff - it's quite a well-known site for handmade things - like ebay but focused on only handmade stuff - i love the fabrics & ornaments available from here.

As for how much i would pay personally, i'm a fan of handmade stuff so i would pay anywhere from CHF4 to CHF8. i think you could even charge CHF10 & people will still buy - especially if they know it is charity.
Walter says he would pay about CHF5 - that's without looking at the cards.
