You know the best time of the day is when I am in deep creating mode and in deep thought. I think about the individual card that I am working on. I imagine who will buy it and who will receive it. Therefore lots of thought goes into each card I create, hence the one-of-a-kind cards. I used to think that I had to make dozens of the card that I created. I never wanted to be without that one awesome creation. Then I would hang onto them forever and have to make myself sell them. I have had to make some changes over the years.
Now I make ONE card, love it and then let it go when it sells.
The most important thing is imagining being the one the card is given to and opening it for the first time. What kind of impression does the card make? Does the design have the kind of appeal that it's supposed to? Do the colors work together? Would I like to receive this card?
The handmade gift always means more in so many ways. It means that you thought out the card and/or gift. It means that it was personal and meant just for the person that it is gifted to. A card makes a first impression with the person who purchases it and the one whom receives it. Know the the cards purchased from me were made with love.
