Hey I was just wondering where everyone gets their cards to put their bows on to sell? Do you make them, or do you buy them? Where is a good cheap place to get them?

I make mine and print them at home. I know a lot of people use the Vistaprint postcards though.

I used to use blank business cards and printed my own to, but am now hooked on VistaPrint. Their post cards have a glossy finish and you can add a message to the back, plus you get 100 free. I've placed two orders with them now and love everything I've ordered. They do great work and you can't beat the price. I added a pic to show the ones I use.

I make my own using Microsoft Publisher and print them onto cardstock. I've attached a photo and there are several for sale in my etsy shop.

I buy bow cards from RABOM, but I'm thinking about getting the post cards from Vistaprints. Do you use the over sized postcards?

My printer doesn't print good enough to print my owns.

Ditto. Great, glossy finish. I designed my own and them uploaded them to VistaPrint. I use both the standard and oversized postcards. I just printed two cards on the oversized ones but you could get 4 small clippie cards out of 1 oversized postcard. I didn't think of that until after I ordered.

I used the regular sized postcards, but it would be nice to have the over sized ones to for my flower clips that cover my logo on the smaller cards. That'll be next on my list of things to order, lol!

I just looked at your etsy shop. I LOVE your shamrocks for St. Pats day. Very CUTE! I want to learn how to make them. I am jealous! :)

Thanks! I've written instructions for the Love Bug/Ladybug/Bumble Bee and am working on one for Easter, but I have to admit the shamrock instructions are not mine. They are from Little Pink Ladybug. She has an etsy shop.

So does vistaprint only make small cards? How do you get hairbows to fit? I know I am dumb>:lol:

Vistaprint makes reg. sized postcards and oversized postcards. They tell you the exact measurements on the website. If you sign up for an account but don't order anything, wait a day or two and they will send you lots of free offers for stuff. Then you just pay the shipping :)

I just looked online and the reg. sized postcards are 5.47" x 4.21" and the oversized are 8.5" x 5.47".

I used my ruler and rotary cutter and cut slits in them and they fit so snug

Just starting out here and I am making my own for now. I bought card stock that looks like a brown paper bag and print out sheets of my label and then just glue it on. I cut a slit on them and clip on the bow/clippies.

This has been extremely helpful! I didn't have a clue what to put my bows on, now I know where to start looking!
