At my retirement Open house today one of my friends asked how I came up with the card we were making. Not the design so much but the saying or theme of it. It was a Happy Day Card.
She thought it would be easy if it was a card class such as Birthday Cards, Mother Days or my Christmas Card class. But how do I select a theme for an Open House or just general classes?
I had to tell her it was not that hard. Sometimes I pick out the stamp set first. Sometimes I design the card first and then choose the stamp set or saying.
Since I need a lot of Thank You Cards, a lot of my general cards are Thank yous, just because I need them. So you will see a lot of my general classes have thank yous or thinking of you, and some birthday cards.
My Tips & Techniques Tuesday and There's A Card Thursday you will see a lot of these types of cards, thank yous, thinking of you and birthdays.
If I have to do a card based on a stamp set it is sometimes really easy to see a card just based on a stamp set but other times it can be pretty hard.
I really love the stamp sets and sometimes they just talk to you. I just let it flow and decide what I need most or really look at the stamp set and image what it will say to me.
I enjoy making cards and deciding what to make is one of the fun parts. I hope this helps you in making our cards.
Happy Stamping
Mary
