What does it actually mean to make cards? Tell us about your process.
Making cards is not that easy. First of all, I need inspiration so that I can make the card with love. Then – an idea and materials with which to realize it. Creative thinking and imagination are also an integral part of the process. No matter what time it is – whether it’s two or three in the morning, if I have a clear idea, I get out of bed and start creating.
Is the card an illustration? Nowadays, there are many different types of cards. I think that the illustration is part of the card. It is the basis, it adds color, a personal touch, it “speaks” to us, illustrates and complements the text written in the card.
What event/occasion do you dream of creating a card for? I love making all kinds of cards, but I would definitely like to create a thank you card for a veterinarian. Yes, I love animals and I think that would be a wonderful card!
What do people most often NOT know about making a card? In my opinion, people do not know about the satisfaction that the process of making it gives me. I have been asked “Don’t you get tired of making the same thing?” – No, I don’t get tired, I answer, because each card is different and unique in itself. I have put a different feeling, time and method of making into each one. It is a pleasure for me to make cards – the emotion of creating something and making someone happy with it is indescribable.
Favorite examples that have inspired you in your work?
My inspiration comes from events, incidents, emotions and most of all from close people!
