E-commerce · Crafts & Sewing
A buyer is making cards for a wedding and needs the paper by Friday.
Paper craft is bought for a deadline. A wedding invite, a teacher's day card, a scrapbook for an anniversary. The buyer needs sizes and counts that match what they have planned, and delivery before the date.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Paper crafts online are scrapbooking paper, quilling strips, origami sheets, die-cut shapes, stamps, embossing tools, washi tape and card-making supplies, bought for a card, a scrapbook or a decoration with a date attached. GullySales works on how your listings state sizes, counts and finish, how occasions and deadlines drive the calendar, and how crafters are brought back for the next set.
There are two quite different customers: the hobbyist who makes one scrapbook and the small seller who makes fifty cards to sell. They buy from the same pages and need different things from them.

Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell paper crafts online.
- Sellers of scrapbooking paper, patterned sheets and cardstock
- Quilling, origami and paper-cutting supply makers
- Stamp, die and embossing tool brands
- Sellers of washi tape, stickers and journal decorations
- Small-business suppliers who sell to card and invitation makers
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A seller who cannot give sheet sizes, weights and pack counts
- A shop that promises delivery by an occasion without checking its own dispatch
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of paper crafts.
Sheet size, weight and count
12 by 12 inches or A4, light paper or card, how many sheets in the pack. Scrapbookers buy by the pad and compare the number of designs.
Pattern, colour and theme
A coordinated set, floral, vintage, festive, solid. Buyers want to see every sheet in the pad on a flat photograph.
Tools and compatibility
A die has to fit a machine, a stamp needs the right ink, a quilling tool needs the right strip width. The buyer checks before adding to cart.
Occasion and last order date
Diwali cards, wedding invitations, baby showers, teachers' day. The buyer has a date and wants to know the item arrives before it.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell paper crafts online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“People ask if every sheet in the pad is different”
A cover image does not show the inside. The question arrives on WhatsApp and the answer is a photograph we could have placed on the page.
“Our dies do not fit the machine they own”
The buyer bought a die and found it did not work with their cutter. The listing never named a machine.
“Small card sellers order once and vanish”
A maker selling their own cards would buy again, but has no reason to remember us. No message reaches them before their next occasion.
The scope
The work we would propose for paper crafts.
Measured on purchases, conversion rate, cost to win a customer, average order value and repeat purchases. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- Every sheet shownA flat photograph of each sheet in the pad, with the size, weight and count, so the buyer sees what is inside.
- Machine and tool compatibilityEach die, stamp and tool lists the cutters and inks it works with, in a table linked from the page.
- An occasion calendarCollections and ads timed to Diwali, wedding season, teachers' day and birthdays, each with a last order date.
- Reorders for small makersA message ahead of each occasion to makers who sell cards, listing what they bought last time.
- Creators making cards and scrapbooksCraft creators who make a project from start to finish with your papers, linking each item they use.
What we do
What you get for paper crafts.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A pad contents gallery
Every sheet photographed flat, in order, with size and weight.
A die and machine compatibility table
Which dies and tools work with which machines, kept in one sheet and linked from the pages.
An occasion calendar with order cut-offs
The dates by which orders must be placed for each occasion and the collections to push before them.
A card-maker reorder list
Which small makers bought what, and when they are likely to need it again.
How the result is measured
- Purchases
- Conversion rate
- Average order value
- Repeat purchase rate
- Return rate
- Orders placed before each occasion
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
After the call
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Your range with sizes, weights and counts
- Machines and tools your dies and stamps fit
- Sales by occasion for the last two years
- Questions customers ask before buying
- Photographs of each pad and set
Selling in India and abroad
Selling paper crafts beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
12 inch and A4 sizes
Scrapbook paper is 12 by 12 inches in the US and the common size elsewhere varies, so buyers abroad check which album and cutter it fits.
Festival paper crafts for the diaspora
Diwali, Holi and Raksha Bandhan cards sell to families abroad, who need the order days earlier than local buyers. Delivery time to the destination decides the last order date.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
