How to create an assortment of cards

[thall]

I have to make about 100 cards for an organization I belong to and I'm stumped as to how to make sure a I have a good assortment.

I am limiting myself to 5 stamp sets, 4 color combinations and 4 or 5 layouts.

The question is do I:
1) Use one layout for each of the stamp sets and just vary the colors
2) Combine a layout and color combo and just vary the stamp set or
3) pick a color combo for each stamp set and just vary the layout?

What do you ladies think?

Thanks

Whoa 100 cards! When do you need to have them done by? I would most likely do 10 of each kind then you would have to make 10 sets? I would make all ten the same and do 10 different sets. Does that make sense?

Well, even when I try to make cards the same they never are. However eventually as I'm making cards I'll find one that gives me some inspiration to do more of and then I just vary it a little or change the feature stamp or sentiment.

Looks to me as though you have some good ideas already. Based on what you have I would start with "1)" and see where it takes you. If you get bored or stumped then move on to "2)" etc. That way you don't set yourself up to do it only one way. Good luck -- and don't get STRESSED ... everyone will love them! :cool:

Thanks goodness I don't have to make all of them. I have to come up with the designs and make the steps simple enough that non-stampers can do the work. Then we will have a few get togethers to make all of the cards.
