Welcome again to Fascinating Fridays!!!!
Today's featured artist is a skilled cardmaker who enjoys a high sense
of imagination,,, Her elegant cards deliver a pure dose of art and

Name: Paulina Nakamura
Blog: Pretty Pink Posh
When and how did you start card
making?
I started cardmaking when I was a little girl. My mom owns a rubber stamp company, so I've always grown up with stamps all around me. I casually played with them as a child, but didn't really start to make it a hobby/ passion until a few years ago.

When would you say you are
most creative?
Oh, that's a hard one....my creativity comes in spurts. I would have to say, after I browse blogs, I'm usually feeling pretty creative.

What is your favorite
technique?
Honestly, I can't say I have a favorite. I'm kind of all over the place when it comes to crafting, so I'm constantly using different techniques.

Do trends inspire your creative
process?
Yes, they can at times. While I wouldn't say I'm super "trendy", I do like to know what is popular. On occasion, I'll add elements of trends into my projects.

Is there something about paper crafting you find challenging?
For me, it's probably just trying to decide which stamps/colors I want to use on a project. Once I get those decided, it's usually pretty smooth sailing after that :)
If you were stuck on a
deserted Island, what THREE paper crafting supplies would you HAVE to have with
you?
Oh, this is a torture for me, I love so many things. If I had to choose, it's my Big shot, Spellbinder dies and markers.

Is there a designer in the
paper crafting industry that inspires you? If so, what about their style or technique calls your
attention?
I can't honestly say there is one specific person. I'm constantly being inspired by fellow bloggers and crafters.

How would you describe your own style?
I'm having a hard time describing my style....I suppose it usually is fairly clean, and generally girly.
How long would you say it
takes you to complete a card or project?
Normally, a typical card takes 40-60 minutes. My cards are definitely labors of love :)

Do you have a favorite occasion to create for?
I would have to go with birthdays. It's fun to try to create a card that fits the recipients style.
When you are finished with
your creations what do you do with them?
A good amount of my cards go to various stamp shows across the country (to be displayed in the DeNami Design booth). However, I do also send my cards to relatives and friends, and occasionally will sell some.
