Now open!
We're now open for business! Feel free to purchase lots of cards! Honestly, I think the cards look pretty good. My mom says that the actual cards look better than the website pictures. So... there you go... testimony from a biased source.

Yes, it is true. I have been VERY pleased w/the image quality of the cards I've received from HandsOnCards. It was fun to write on the notecards & send them off to friends. Of course, as you say, I am a biased source!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE OPENING OF YOUR STORE!
Mom, thanks very much for the comment and for your support through the entire process.
Congratulations, Eliot and Angela! I got a Christmas card from your parents. It looked really cool! Best wishes for a successful business. As far as suggestions...how about Get Well, Congratulations (different picture for specific occasions: Wedding, Graduation, New Home, New Baby, etc.), Anniversary, Thank You notecards, and for each one, maybe offer the option of a Bible verse version of each card that quotes scripture to reach a niche of Christian clientele. I can think of a lot of ladies from church (like my mom) who would love to buy your cards, especially if they had Bible verses on them. She and I often shop for cards, looking specifically for ones that have Bible verses. Just some ideas that came to mind that I wanted to share with you. Very cool business idea! Phong's sister, Phuong-Mai, makes her artwork into T-shirts too. I was just at Staples and saw iron-on transfers that can be printed right from a regular color printer and ironed onto T-shirts/fabric. Your artwork would look especially cute on a line of Baby products like little bibs, burp cloths, or onesies or T-shirts for kids/adults. Especially if they included Bible verses, cuz I remember your mom gave a Christian-themed bib and burp cloth set as a gift when Maya was born. I loved it so much that I looked and looked for similar Christian or Bible verse-based Baby stuff, but could not find anything. I know you're just getting this off the ground, so I don't want to overwhelm you with suggestions, but just some ideas that came to mind. Again...congratulations and may the Lord bless you both in this new business endeavor!
hey Lisa, thank you very much for the feedback. Angela and I were trying to think about more ideas for the store and this helps us to have some more goals for the future. I like the idea about having Bible verses. I was thinking yesterday about the need to focus more on the messages in the cards. I think this may take some time, but, like I said, it gives us some more goals to work towards. thanks.
