2) Take the color construction paper and sketch out traces on it. If you are not good with drawing, you can cut them from magazines.
3) Cut out the shapes and letters from the color construction paper.
4) Then fold the construction paper into half and arrange the cutouts on the paper that has been folded so as to determine the design you will make on it.

Help answer the question about greeting cards
How do I go about marketing my own line of greeting cards?I have been drawing, scratching, around on paper as long as I can remember. I have used many other expressive mediums of Art as well. It has been a dream of mine to have my own line of greeting cards that no one else has to offer. I am at the point right now that I am confident in my workings where I believe I am good enough to pull that off. I have several original characters of my own that I believe will work well togather with some carefully composed text to convey Heart felt emotion.

Hi:
You might try to find examples on HGTV and DIY's websites. I don't think there is an individual card making show, but I know I've seen spots on Carol Duvall and other craft shows that have cards made from various materials including die-cuts, cardstock, fabric, rubber stamps, and many other unusual items. I make my own holiday cards from my pastel paintings that I take digital images from and then print them out on usually Strathmore deckle edge cards, and use vellum envelopes to mail them.
Hope this helps and gets you started.
haha this has to be one of the best of the virtual greeting cards youve made.
i have then stored away like you do. Some people would say throw them away, but when you read them they bring back fond memories, which are priceless….perhaps some day you would sort them out, it is a personal choice really

Good luck with the greeting cards.
If you aren't sure where to start, I really, really recomend the book "Artists and Graphic Designer's Market." I included a link to this year's copy. It not only has suggestions for how to submit, but addresses to every greeting card company in America as well as the guidelines for submitting to each. Be warned, though, they're really selective. My boyfriend and I each submit to dozens of things a year, and only every once in a while do our submissions get accepted. The bottom line, though, is to keep trying. If your work at it hard enough and if your art is good, you'll make progress.
You don't need a factory. Just contract a reduced rate with a printing company to handle your designs in low volume with the hope of increasing business as yours grows. In slow economic times like these, you can negotiate great deals like this. That frees you to spend more time on designs and distribution. Not a bad idea right now so go for it.
