I came, I bid, I got to make them. Yay!
On Etsy, Alchemy is a section where buyers go to request custom items. They have to list what they want made in detail, how many they need, how much they would ideally like to pay for it, and when they need it finished by. Then, once they put in the request, sellers bid on the item for a chance to make it. They list the price they can make it for, the estimated cost of shipping, when they can have it finished by, the description of the item they would make, the method of shipping, and payment terms. If the seller's bid is accepted, they get to make the item, receive payment for it, ship it to the buyer, and then get feedback in return. It's a really neat place to go for awesome ideas and great opportunities for both buyers and sellers. So, one more time, ...HOORAY!
The map cards I made were 4"x6", and were made with ivory card stock. They matched perfectly to the invitations, the image of which was sent via a pdf file. That was very helpful since I was then able to use the graphic off of the invitations to put on the map cards so they matched. I loved having the chance to make these, and I hope the couple enjoys them! Thanks for the idea, Lauren!
