I think that you have some good ideas and could do well.

You have asked for opinions so I thought I would mention a couple of things which may make your cards sell quicker based on what I have found tends to sell more quickly. First I back most of my cards with some mirror card as the first matt. This creates a professional look and cards with this backing always outsell those without. As you then put card etc on top you can always gut the middle out to use elsewhere to keep costs down when starting out. Alternatively you can use border peel offs to start with to get a similar effect.

Secondly I do feel that the Nan one is a little too busy for me. I would try to keep my designs a bit more simple if you are selling them, the cost of embellishments can be expensive and having one can sometimes have more of an impact than several different ones. I love the thank you card the most, the colours go together really well and it looks really balanced.

Some of my best selling types of cards are literally an expensive foiled background card with a bit of ribbon and a foiled sentiment, possibly a few gems.

I hope you are not offended that I offered you some advice. Just trying to boost your sales

Good luck
