E109: Greeting Card Design Workflow: How Claudia Orengo Created 19 Cards in 2 Days

Send us your feedback What would you do if you had 19 greeting card designs to finish—and less than 48 hours before the deadline? When an email from Claudia Orengo landed in Delores Naskrent’s inbox with the subject line “I designed 19 cards in two days,” Delores knew there was a much bigger creative-business conversation waiting to happen. Claudia is a graphic designer, watercolor artist, educator and online entrepreneur behind Heartmade and the Passive Income Growth Academy. She creates digital products and sells her work through platforms including Minted, Spoonflower, Patternbank and Zazzle. In this episode, Claudia explains how she approached her unusually tight Minted deadline without expecting every card to become an elaborate masterpiece.  She chose the tool that matched the time available, brainstormed before opening Procreate, worked in topic batches and reused existing artwork when her energy dropped. Claudia is also very clear that she does not recommend creating 19 cards in two days as a normal working routine. The value lies in the decisions she made—not in turning an extreme deadline into a new productivity standard. If you have a folder filled with patterns, paintings, illustrations or lettering but are unsure what to do with it, this conversation will encourage you to choose one manageable experiment and finish it.
