You don't neccessarily need to make a ton of things. I would focus on one thing first and then put those up and see what sells.
I would also look into silk screening if you want to do notecards. The paint gives notecards a really polished and professional look. It is really easy to do with not a lot of start up costs (I silk screened in high school for a textile class I took). Actually I'm pulling out my old gear right now to silk screen some napkins since no one on Etsy has what I want at a cheap price. :-)
My in laws have access to a ton of stuff...a silkscreening machine, a heatpress, and I can even get vinyl done. I just don't know how much it costs to make a screen, so I could actually make something. I feel like I would need a small variety of types of cards or designs.
If you aren't too good with designing images from scratch, you can always go to a stock photo website. That is what I did for the graphics on my invites, but then I designed the invites, programs, stationary, etc. using that image. I think it cost me $1 for the graphic.
I'm not sure what type of silk screening machine they have. I just made mine out of an old wooden frame with a fine meshing screen. Then I bought the chemicals to make the media, coat the screen in that, and let it dry. Afterward I take a transparent of my design, stick it on the screen, then take it out for some sun exposure (5-10 minutes), wash it off, and I have my screen. If it is an industrial silk screening machine, chances are they have the frames. You would just need to prepare the screen.

I'm trying to find something I can make to sell on etsy for a little bit of money to help pay my bills and for the wedding while I'm trying to find a job. I'm not awesome at anything (like Mrs. Poodle), but would love to sell something small, like stamping blank note cards, even though it's really simple, but not sure if it's something people would buy. I've also thought of trying to sell vases with ribbon on it like I've made before or trying to sell maps (like Mrs. Ballet Flat's) that I've done before. I've also thought of doing recipe cards or making stuffed animals.
I've never sold on etsy, so I'm not sure if something like that is easy to do. I'm just worried that I'd have to make a ton of things, and then wouldn't be able to sell anything.
