When ideas come they often flow, other times I get a complete creative block! I try to make notes of all my ideas, so that I have something to go back to and work on when creativity dips. Advice to other designers out there \u2013 make a start, even with one design &#8211; card design gets addictive quickly, especially with the real time sales you can see on thortful, showing you what is working and what isn\u2019t.
