I am about to start my own stationery/card business. When you started out how did you fund your business? Did you have a part time job other than Etsy?
Congratulations on starting your own business! When I started out I used my own savings. I purchased a printer and a paper cutter about 2 months after I opened my Etsy shop. I was working part time as a consultant while selling on Etsy. You might want to check out my Quit Your Day Job Interview where I describe the process of starting out and how I got where I am today

Let me know if you have any additional questions. Good luck!
