I want to start making postcards. Not sure why, I just have a thing for them and I can't find them in any store anymore. Theres a website called PostSecret where people write down secrets on a postcard and mail it to them and they publish the secrets in a book. It's all anonymous. Then there is a site where you can send postcards to random people around the world adn recieve them too! Pretty cool and it's free. I can't do it cause no postcards. I am gonna start just using blank index cards and gluing stuff to them. I don't have a computer or printer ATM so I can't print them off. Do you guys think I could make a business out of this?

You could go to zazzle.com and design tee-shirts, post cards and many other products. When they sell you design they pay you a royalty for you design. It is free and alot of fun. I have a site there called tru creations. And the best part is I don't have to have any inventory or print it or even ship anything. Everything is done through this site. Check it out. It might be just what you are looking for

I am a member of a craft site that has a lot of paper and card making tips and ideas, You can check it out and see if you can get any ideas from there http://www.craftqueensforum.com Another idea might be to take old greeting cards and tear it in half and then you will be able use both sides for post cards, one will already have a design on it and then the other you can create your own design on. I think it may be cheaper this way and just think of the possibilities. As for making a business out of it I think if you put the time into you can do it if you would want...there are people out there that will buy it I am sure. Best of luck to you and happy mylotting

what this sounds like are artist trading cards. there are lots of those out there and the rule of thumb with atc's is that they should always be traded, never sold. what i suggest is for you to take a look on etsy to see if you see anything like that.
