A few weeks ago I decided to have a few of my watercolors made into greeting cards. I had requests from a couple of people for cards; I wasn't certain that I wanted to delve into "paper goods" as I'd never really had any experience with it before, but I just thought it might be fun!
I chose three of my favorite watercolors - the originals of each have been sold and, well, I kind of missed having them around!
I outsourced the printing - my little HP isn't quite up to the task of producing sales-worthy printed goods. Once they arrived with the base level envelopes, though, I was underwhelmed and decided to upgrade to a high-quality colored envelope.

I think they turned out pretty cute! I will have to see if I want to continue with paper goods - anything that takes away from studio time has to be super-important in my mind - but for now they fun and are for sale in the shop!
Is there something you tried on a whim? Did it succeed or fail?
