Greeting Cards and Note Cards

My mother and I have always enjoyed scrapbooking and the more we got into it, the more things we discovered that we could do with our creativity. We began making our own Christmas cards and sent them to family and friends for the last few years. We always got a lot of compliments on them. We worked one craft show that B's church was having and sold almost all of the cards that we had made. We enjoy making cards but didn't want to do just cards all the time and it was more of just a hobby than a money maker. 

After giving it a lot of thought and coming across lots of crafting ideas, we decided to start this little side business. The first things we have made are greeting cards and note cards. The greeting cards have cute little sayings on the inside while the note cards are left empty on the inside to leave room for notes (duh). Here are a few of our creations:

Sympathy Card
Thank You card
Mother's Day card.. hoping to get more of these made soon in time for Mother's Day

Dream note card
Once we get our online store up and running, we will sell our greeting cards and note cards in sets of 5 assorted cards. If anyone is interested in these cards or the others that we have (we have lots, these are just a sample!), feel free to email us BandDNovelties@gmail.com

Welcome!

Welcome to B and D Novelties and Gifts! We are a ma and daughter team that are using our crafting skills to make fun gifts for everyone. We are just starting out and only have a few products under our belts but I decided to start this blog to take you along on our journey of attempting to build up a crafting business. Right now, we currently have some jewelry and greeting cards/notecards available however, we have plans to make a variety of other things including magnets, purses, dog toys, pet gift baskets, and more. This is a learning experience for us and we will share what we learn in this blog along with showing you some of our products and our newest designs. Eventually, we will open an Etsy shop but I wanted to get the blog started first. Now for introductions:

The "B" part of B and D is Becky. She is a grandmother of 3 that works a full time office job. She loves dogs and spends her spare time with her Beagle, Izzi and her huge German Shepard, Kenji.

The "D" part of B and D is me, Deanna. I'm a work at home freelance writer mom with 3 kids and a husband. I don't have a lot of spare time but I do enjoy making crafts and using my imagination to come up with new ideas. I'm also a pet lover and we have plans on making gifts for pets as well as people. I will be the one posting on here most of the time but hoping that B will post once I show her how, lol.
