I have a bit of good news, which is that I can now increase the amount I'm donating to Invest in ME! I started by donating 25% of the price of cards because I'd spent a lot of money on card-making materials and I needed to make at least some of that back. Every time I sold any cards, I'd deduct 75% of the money I received from my debit column, and every time I used one of my own cards, I'd deduct from my debit column the amount I'd have paid for it if I'd bought it elsewhere.
Now, although I've bought more materials over the years and am still in the red, the debit column is slowly going down (this is due partly to a couple of donations made specifically for me to buy more materials, so thanks for those!).
In future I'll be donating 50% of the price of cards to Invest in ME. So please keep buying - the more cards you buy, the more I'll be able to give towards ME research. I don't raise very much, but every little helps ... .
Meanwhile, the Big Sale continues - I still need to clear some of my older cards to make space for new ones - but it will finish at the end of February, so grab a bargain while you can! See this post for details of the blank and birthday card sale, and this post for details of the Christmas and other occasion card sale.
And I haven't been able to wait until the end of the sale to start making new cards, so this post contains a sneak preview of three which will be coming soon. They don't have their own pages on the site yet, and aren't included in the Big Sale, but I do have some available to order now so if you would like any of them please let me know.
The 4x4" Valentine card at the top of the post says With Love inside in black letters and will cost £1.40.
The A6 garden design above is blank so would be ideal as a Mother's or Father's day card, and will cost £2.00 (please note, butterfly and flower colours vary slightly from card to card, but will be some combination of red, orange, and yellow - if you mind which you get please ask and I'll see what I can do).
The A6 Easter card below says Happy Easter on the front in holographic gold letters and is blank inside: this will cost £1.80. The gold cross and white pearlescent panel are very shiny so this card catches and reflects the light: the photo doesn't do it justice.
Please order by the end of January if you would like cards to arrive in time for Valentine's day; by 15th February if you would like them in time for Mother's day (which this year is on 6th March); and by 7th March if you would like them in time for Easter (which this year is on 27th March). And don't forget to check out the sale and the rest of the site while you are here: if your order comes to £10 or more, UK delivery will be free.
