Do you make cards to create or make cards for someone specif

I do a little of both! The ones I make just to create and put in my stash. Lately I've been playing along with a lot of challenges and I try to tailor my card to the recipient. Since most of my relative's birthdays have passed I've moved back towards scrapping a bit more!

I would like to get to the point where I have a nice stash of cards made up in advance that would be appropriate for most of my friends/family. I used to make custom cards for everybody/every occasion, but that isn't going to happen anymore because I don't have time for that. I always end up thinking about it two weeks before someone's birthday (when I don't have the time) and then completely forget about it until the day before when it really should have been in the mail already.  

I do some of both. Birthday (male and female) and anniversary for my Sunday School class I make ahead. I make custom ones for family birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I try to keep a stash of sympathy, thinking about you, and get well. Other occasions I usually end up doing at the last minute.

I do both. Sometimes I forget and it's good to always have cards handy.

I've been making cards since I was a very little girl, and I've never made a generic card. However, I'm an artist and illustrator by background, so I admit, that's just how I work. I know not everyone has the same abilities. Now that I am a digital designer, I still do cards individually, only on my computer. My favorite thing to do is use old photos, or modern photos that have been altered in a funny way.

*That said, the only exception to the rule is Thank You cards... I might create a generic design and have them printed. But birthday, get well, new baby, wedding, etc, I tend to make them specifically for the person.

I do both. I would like to make each one specifically for each person but sometimes there is just not the time. So I have a stash.

Many of the cards in my stash are all done except for the sentiment which I can add at the last minute. That way the cards are generic until I decide which occasion it will be used for.

I always make a cards with a specific person in mind ... and that's my problem. Too many times I find myself scrambling at the last minute to make a card! I keep saying I'll create a stash of generic cards, but that has yet to happen!

I'm another one who makes cards just because I love to but at the same time will make cards for someone specific. I keep all the cards I have made and aren't ready to send out in a basket.

I do both. For specific people, I have the list of birthdays and cards are made in November for the next year. Christmas cards are usually done by May. I do swaps but I make all the cards alike at the same time, and send them out in their time. I also have a stash. I have donated to OWH when the stash needs pruning.

just to create for me...i use the occasional one myself but the majority go to the local vet who sells them to raise $ for animal rescue
it then provides me with an excuse to buy all those sweet lawn fawn critter stamps........!
