You might ask, "what is an Angel Policy?" | Basically, it's a company's policy to allow the use of their products in handmade goods for sale. In other words, a Copyright Policy. |
Some companies do NOT allow the customer to use their product to sell handmade items (meanies!) while other companies have restrictions on their use (such as, you must mention the company in your listing; you can sell up to 20 items using this product; etc.). Each company has their own Angel Policy. I want to respect the companies (and not get into trouble!), so I did not want to proceed by posting stuff in my shop without knowing this company's policy.
A day or so ago I had emailed one of my favorite paper companies (My Mind's Eye) and asked if I could make and sell products that have their papers featured. I hadn't seen their Angel Policy on their website, so I had assumed they didn't have an Angel Policy... which made me sad because I love their products so much. Seriously, some of my best projects use their paper.
Welllllll... I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Amazingly, they said YES! Alright!! Now we're talking! Now I can post many of my previous projects (only my favorites) in the shop! I'm super excited! Many new things to come shortly!! Woohoo!!!
Lesson of the day? It doesn't hurt to ask!!
