See, that's what makes no sense. There only so many supplies and many people use the same ones to make their unique pieces.
The charm on a chain thing I guess I get but really. I use cardstock that I'm sure many other printers also use. Likely even the same brand. My printers are all HP and probably the same as other print shops. Many of us use roughly the same wording on similar items.
I know how to make paper but geez, I really don't want to start a papermill just so I can keep creating. lol
To be blindsided though, that's not cool for the shops suffering these takedowns.
There should have been a warning, a heads up, something, so shops could get their ducks lined up.
I know one shop that glues lace on an item that is mass produced. The lace or ribbon is commercial and the whatzit is commercial but when you combine those things something new is made.
Is it because that whatzit can be worn outside of the event it was made for? Is that what's happening? If it can be used in any other setting it's not allowed?
My son and daughter in law had a Tree of Life at their wedding. People would write their names on it. They used it for their first anniversary celebration and it hangs on the living room wall of their house. Would that be the same. It was a "guest book" of sorts but also a home decor after the event.
Say if you create a hanging banner that spells out Happy Birthday, it can't be sold here? What about if they add a second banner, same style with a name on a second string? Would one be allowed and not the other?
I'm so confused!
