Graphia Bella Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hi ladies !!!! As a designer, it's sometimes though to choose between many possibilities and I would like to hear you about the manner we packed her stough for store. Some of you prefer seperated packs (papers, elements, patterns, solids, etc.), but some of you prefer to buy the collection with all included on one. I try to offer both and I mention it on my products descriptions (for example: If you have already bought the collection, don't buy this pack because it's already included on it). And all included on the collection one is describe on the description of the products (I always make the collection with all in one inside). Now I want to know, what each of you prefer.... All the collection in one pack (value pack, collection biggie) or all separated on different packs (papers, patterns, wordarts, elements, etc.). In the hope to answer the need for largest number of you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I personally like the value packs or collection biggies. I like to have all them matching pieces so it's easier for me to put a LO together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diannecp Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I don't use a lot of embellishments so the collections are less appealing for me (although I still buy my fair share!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I like value packs and full collections. I mix and match collections a lot, but I like having the option to use just one collection, where everything is meant to go together. Collections make it easier and faster to scrap pretty pages!

Ngaire Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I'm the same as Carla. Love those Value packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I pretty much only buy collections because, like Mikelle said - everything is meant to match and go together. I'll sometimes buy a value pack but not when it's very expensive and it depends on what's in it as I don't like premade clusters, frames, etc - so wouldn't use them. I don't like the little bits and pieces sold separately, never buy those. I like embellishments and they usually make or break a buy for me. I'm not fond of one embellishment (like a flower) repeated over and over, except in a different color. I like having a variety of embellishments. Thanks for asking!

englishrose Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I nearly always buy collections. I like it when 2 or more collections from the same designer have similar or complementary colour schemes so that I can "mix and match". I also like it when the embellishments include something different (with a family full of men, I get very little chance to use all those flowers that figure heavily in a lot of collections). Thank you for taking the time to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Collections are the most versatile like many are saying. I agree with Hilary and Marilyn that a variety of embellishments are great. I prefer papers that are not too over powering more toward solid or texture, torn, chalked or burned edges. I always find it a challenge to use large patterned paper.Masks, frames are nice too and strings or stitches. That is my opinion since you asked.

A-M Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I also like collections and a good variety of Embellishments. I like to see solids in amongst the papers with some textured and some very flat with minimal texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphia Bella Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Nice ! Thank you so much ladies for all your answers ! It makes things easier for me to guide me while I'm creating. The French and English world of scrap is so different, sometimes it's difficult to choose de guideline for a collection. I'm taking notes and I will try to keep it in mind....

AggieB Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Interesting, how do the countries differ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodScrap Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I also like the collections and/or Value packs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphia Bella Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 On 16/09/2017 at 4:07 PM, AggieB said: Interesting, how do the countries differ? I would say the kind of scrap... The French scrap is more axed on true elements, more 3D layouts, scenic and big arrangements of elements. For example (one page of mine): And English scrap is more axed on 2D, style life 365, papers elements and drawing, artsy style. The second page is an example for me (also with a page of mine): Do you notice the difference ? It's a question between real life looking and real paper scrapbooking looking. One style looks more real and the other looks more crafting style. So, everyone has it's own style and it's what it makes digital scrapbooking wonderful and a so colorful world !!!! Personaly, I try everything because I love to learn and try new things. But some scrappers prefer to stay on the same kind because they like it and they are really good on this particular style. So, depending on wich kind or style of scrap you make, you don't shop the same way ! It's why I asked this question and make the relation with kind of scrap. Someone who love Artsy style will prefer to buy different packs and mixed them. Someone who makes layouts on a specific palette will prefer to buy a collection to be sure all are matching ! Do you understant my reasonning ? I don't want to loose my own style, but I can try to pack my stough in store to meet the needs of a larger number of you.

MariJ Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 That was a great question to ask and now I understand why you asked. That is so interesting about the countries and you explained it so well and even showed photos to understand better. Thank you for all of that!

CRS Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I like both styles, and find it depends on the photo and my mood which direction the LO goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphia Bella Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 One more time, thank you so much MariJ ! You're so sweet ! CRS, you're like me... I love all styles, it depends of my mood of the day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'm a collections gal. Usually the Value Packs are great, but sometimes they have pieces I'd never use, so being able to buy add-ons separately is nice. I prefer the first style, myself.

AggieB Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks for explaining, Bella. I see what you mean about 3d vs 2d. The top layout is really striking - I love the glow of the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphia Bella Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 You've got a really good point Smiles ! It's true that with value packs, it's not always everything we work with. Thank you so much AggieB... You're really sweet. I prefer this style too... I make sometimes the second one, but I'm rarely satisfied by the final result. I love the layouts of girls who really got talent on this style and I would like to be able to do, but I don't ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeronicaS Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Very interesting topic. I sometimes wonder if i am not creating what people want. I love so many styles of scrap but am out of my comfort zone when trying to create some of them. I also usually try to come out with a collection though i wish i could get away with just designing papers as it's my absolute favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphia Bella Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 It's nice Veronica. Papers are the basis of all digital scrapbooking projects. Many girls love papers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
