Now that I found my cards... I am wondering if I want to make just one design or a couple. I met someone who makes all of her cards different.... I don't think I Can do that!!
So, what do you do? One card design? A couple? Or all different? I Usually make 50.

I make mine all different but I make mine all year round. So I have lots of time and don't have to worry about time running out.
Making them all different gives me a chance to try all the different things I see and like. If I made myself choose only one or even a couple of designs I would run out of time just trying to make a choice of which one.
Besides making them all the same would feel like factory work to me and I am not good at factory work.

I make all of mine different. I like to personalize them.

Mine are all different. Using the same design just ends up killing my creativity for months.

I used to make them all different, but this year and last year I did the factory routine. I think I like doing different ones better, even though this is faster.

I make mine all different. If I do more than one with the same design, the second one never looks as nice to me. But I don't have that many to make to give as gifts.
I do send store bought cards as well.

I usually do 3-5 of a design and do five or six different designs. So kind of in the middle  |

I make around 36 or so each year, and they are all the same.

I usually do 3-5 of a design and do five or six different designs. So kind of in the middle I'm doing this now. In previous years they were all the same, but I always ran out when I needed to send just one more. The OCD in me hated to send out ONE different one. Now they are in bunches so if I have to send out a singleton it won't bug me so much. LOL at myself. Yes, I keep a record of who gets which design so I don't accidentally send them the same one next year. |

I make the same design so I can put them together in an assembly line style. In the past I've made anywhere from 80-100+ cards. This year I'm pairing down my list.

Same since I have to make so many. The past few years I have been using the Cricut "Inspired Heart" cartridge. I have been using the Christian themed images. This year I'm doing the singing choir.

In the past I have made one card design for everyone... I realized that I was wasting my time, energy, and supplies making cards for people who didn't appreciate it. So now I just make them for my crafty friends. This year I'm making each of my friends a different card, that I hope speaks to their personality, I know they will appreciate it. I'm thinking I'll just buy cards for everyone else. Luckily, or unluckily, depending on how you look at it, I don't have many individual cards to make. Maybe 10 total.

I use the same basic design, but sometimes I switch it up with different papers.

Last year I did several styles. This year I did all of them the same. Probably took about the same amount of time overall because this year's were all stamping/embossing.

I know Christmas is over, but I'm just reading this post now. [sorry about that]
I try to create one design each year, and then use different papers, embellishments, etc. to mix it up. I will also go online for ideas and will maybe make a few with a different design just to try it out. A couple of years ago I spent so much time on handmade cards, I wore myself out. So now I only send the handmade ones to those who will appreciate them.

I do one design, but usually have two colour schemes. This year there was one design, one colour scheme, but they had snowflakes. Each snowflake was different. They were really fun to create!
