From there I determine what style of card will suit and then I dive into my load of paper.Beth Norman-Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660887911283811823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919169506940942873.post-84203072542628672642007-09-20T15:48:00.000+01:002007-09-20T15:48:00.000+01:00Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog jenny.

Then i choose the paper next. It can funky paper or nice looking but I never know what it will be, or I might stamp it myself if I don't like what I have and the stamps I have are what I like then the stamps become the paper itself. after that is where I have a hard time deciding embellishing as it harder for me so i don't know if I doing it right or if it ugly or nice?? This is where my hardest my hardest time comes for me but I keep on trying as i love stamping. :)Monica-FChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179206635207339932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919169506940942873.post-25270714508147577312007-09-20T11:00:00.000+01:002007-09-20T11:00:00.000+01:00Congratulations and what a lovely idea.Mine depend...Congratulations and what a lovely idea.<BR/><BR/>Mine depends on why I'm making the card. If it's for a specific occassion, I tend to design the card round the person and what sort of thing they like. Otherwise it is normally if I have new goodies to play with or if I have seen something that has inspired my in a mag or on someones blog.<BR/><BR/>Since I have started blogging, I also like trying my hand a challenges, as I can play it a bit safe and this tends to push me a bit more!Tarasdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532582022746992453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919169506940942873.post-25327884755904755742007-09-20T09:45:00.000+01:002007-09-20T09:45:00.000+01:00Hi Jenny,From one Blogger starting out to another ...Hi Jenny,<BR/><BR/>From one Blogger starting out to another buiding up her hits .... congratulations on a sucessful site and what great Blog Candy.<BR/><BR/>Its been a while since I last made a batch of cards, but generally I find that the type of occassion and time of year starts my inspiration off. I'm stimulated by colour, so tend to lend my hand simultaniously to colour and stamp/embellishment choice.<BR/><BR/>I hope when I'm fully back on the crafting mat, to be able to share a more comprehensive method.<BR/><BR/>Until then ...

Right now I'm in crisis mode - meaning I'm not doing cards unless I need it that very day. So, depending on the occasion for the card, I pick a stamp set and then decide what from my stash I want to work with colorwise and technique wise. This really doesn't work well for me because I want to do every technique in every color and use every cool tool i have!!!!<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919169506940942873.post-15553958939365281262007-09-19T14:46:00.000+01:002007-09-19T14:46:00.000+01:00love, love, love your sleighride card!

If I am working with Design Team product, I'm starting with paper or stamps and I let the mood of that direct where to start. Then other times, I just plain need a card to send out in the mail (usually yesterday!) so I work from that angle. I guess I'm kinda all over the place with my starting points.
