If arts and crafts are your passion, and/or your business, then sometimes you need to get inspired with new ideas.
I don’t mean go to shows and copy something else, but just take a look at what is out there and it will quite often spark an idea.
Go to craft shows out of town, fall fairs, and especially crafts magazines. It can happen to even the most creative person, you just get stuck in a rut of making the same things every year, and you want to freshen everything up, try something new!
If you go to the magazine section of any store, you will literally find a magazine for every possible subject, but in the craft section, there are quite a few, scan through, see what others are making, and what will usually happen, if you are a creative person, something will spark an idea.
It quite often has nothing to do with the project you see, just something about it sparks another idea. You need visual stimulation to get the imagination going, get the creative juices flowing. Since painting and sewing are my passion, I subscribe to craft magazines with these subjects, for ideas, they also introduce me to new products, such as new paints, new fabrics, new paint brushes… things that light that light bulb in your head!.. and ideas just start flowing so fast, you need to write them down!
So, get yourself some craft magazines, subscribe to make life easier and its like Christmas when they come in the mail.. I can’t wait for each new issue, to see what I can come with for this years crafts, and if you are really original and creative, maybe look into putting your creation in the magazine. They are usually looking for fresh ideas, you may make some money that way!

You can find it.
Good luck!
Nice work, you did pretty good.
If you are using a concept and a technique and bringing your own creative influence to it, then you are in the clear. For instance, the style, a method of cutting, etc. If you are copying the entire design of the card and only changing the colors, that is not going to cut it.
Secondly, as an artist myself, I find that when you bring your SELF to a creative endeavor, it usually runs out much better. People can tell when love has gone into a creative project. Use these craft "recipes" as a jumping off point to express some of your own values. Love animals? Nature? Warm colors? Great! Find your own style, and your are much more likely to suceede in your business.
Great talent Der Mann.
What you can do is make your own. Start off by making one a couple of pages and pass it around where you live. The more people who want it, then start adding more.
I haven't seen any but there is a site that has recyleable
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.

Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
a really great craft website is craftster.org
you can carefully iron any wrinkled pages.
To keep them in good shape for years to come, you can get a food saver, and vacuum pack them. This will keep them in good shape for excellent condition collectors items in years from now.
