This past Saturday, I held my quarterly card buffet. This class is one of my favorites to prepare for and seems to be one of your favorites as well! Seventeen of you come to spend the day with me during 2 sessions of this class! It happened to be my birthday and we had lots of snacks and lots of fun! I didn’t even care that my husband was out of town and missing my day, because I got to hang out with so many friends….then have hibachi for dinner with my punks and parents! Good times!
For those of you unfamiliar with card buffet: I prep 10 various cards and box all the supplies for each card into one shoebox. YOU get to pick and choose which cards you want to make and make as many as you wish….totally up to you! You can pay per card or I offer incentives that day which will earn you your cards for FREE!

Beautiful cards all of them! Great job
How much do you charge for each card? How often do you do this?
I charge $2.00 per card, but I also started offering incentives that day. They can earn their cards for free with their order! I do a card buffet every quarter. It’s so much fun!
