How do you girls who make your cards remember who you sent the card to? I just hauled out my stamps and am wondering if I need to scramble and get new stamps. I would hate to send the same stamped card to the same person as I did last year.


Do you only make one style of card each year and send it to all your friends?





This has me puzzled

This won't be any help to you, but I just quit sending cards about forty years ago!

I guess you would call mine hodge podge, because I never make 2 the same. I guess that also eliminates giving the same one twice, lol. Good luck!

I make one card design and give to all I send to. I also keep 1 and date it, so I know what cards/stamps I have used in previous years.

I make cards every other year. It's too much for me to do it every year. I usually buy a new stamp and new paper, so I know the card is different each time I make them.

i make one card style a year also. but i keep a copy of what i made so i don't make to similar

[sdwhru]

I don't do cards either

THAT is actually a really good question! I never thought of that. I guess I just wouldn't mind too much or if it bothered me, I'd keep some sort of list with my holiday address book.

LOL! I am having this problem this year so I have decided to make some that I know I did not do before with new stamps. I can not remember what tags I gave family last year either.

Thanks all. I am going to use what I have this year and hope for the best. But, all of them ( except the word ones) are going to be sold cheap somewhere.


Does ACOT have a exchange board? I could give them to ST. Vinnies but really want to send them to another card stamper.

When I do a homemade card, I scan or take a photo and upload rather than save an original so that I can share with some friends online that don't get a mailed version. And then I save to a Christmas Card Folder. I don't do this every year either.

Every year I make about 80 cards - but I get bored with one design. So I make 8 different and 10 of each. Becuase the overall design is different I don't tend to worry about if I used the same stamp.
I.E. - I love the Dasher stamp from Stampin' Up! and have used for the last three years, but in different ways each year. This year I made them on the manly cards (the ones for single guys we know) with a birch bark background paper. Last year I used the same stamp, but paired it with snowflake paper and cool blues and embossed the deer so it looked like it was in the snowstorm.

But I always end up buying at least 3 new Christmas stamp packs each year. I am addicted to stamping. There I said it - they can come and lock me away now.
