My friend sells each card for $3 and they are not too elaborate. Another friend I know sells them at $5 a piece and I believe these are in a store. The second lady boxes her and sells for $25 and it is an assortment of occasions. The minimun a card can be sold for is $2 dollars. Always remenber these are homemade and uniquely designed. Best of luck to you.
I sell cards sometimes at craft shows for $2 each... gift card holders for $1, Gift bags and Tissue w/tag for $3.00, I have sold tiles, glass etched items...etc for more...like $5-10. I am able to sell things for a little less because I am an SU demo and I get that discount (lot's of crafters become demos for that reason...ask your upline if you want more info)... But to be honest I do better in my Demo business, and I usually choose to be a demo at craft shows instead (we can't be demos and crafters at the same event). I don't take orders, but I look at it as an opportunity to meet people and invite them to my classes, and stamp camps... it's more productive and ultimately $$ producing for me. Hope this helps! Have fun!
Whatever you do, if you sell your cards you must have one of SU's stamps on the back of your card which shows it's made with their stamps. You also can't sell your cards on a website or from a permanent location such as a shop.
I used to sell my cards separately from $2.50-$3.00. I also made simple stationery holders and charged less per card if they bought a set of 5 or 6 that was packaged together. You should be able to do a search in the gallery section to see samples of what people use for boxes, or stationery holder. Best of luck to you.

FYI I charged $1 a card last year at a bazaar and was told by quite a few I underpriced myself. Since my cards are getting "better" I am going to charge $2 this fall. I have some different cards (fold outs - 4 folded) that I will charge $3.50 for.
I would try some with verses and some without. Personally I always leave my cards blank on the inside.
I think boxed sets are better with a selection of cards, maybe in a set of 6 use 2 each of 3 desiogns - like they do instores?
And as well as selling at craft fairs, try your local stores, hairdressers and beauty salons, florists etc places where people may buy a gift or a gift card and would like a handmade card to go with it.
And good luck with your business! I hope it is fun.
