Yes, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I'll either want to make a card/letter business or something to do with art. Haven't decided exactly what yet. But I want some opinions on what people think it's important to know. All help is appreciated!

If you're thinking of making handcrafted greetings cards, then my advice would be to go for something a bit unique. There are so many people making cards (I tried selling mine but it's really difficult to get into), so you need something that's different.
There isn't a lot of mark-up with card either - for some reason people will still pay a fortune for a mass produced handmade card from a card shop, rather than buy a truly handcrafted card for a crafter.
Sorry - hope I haven't put a dampner on things. Wish you all the best with whatever you decide to do.
