Please don't ever stop telling your stories because I absolutely love them! I lost my mom in 2001 and my dad in 2005...I still think about them every single day. Thank you for your lessons today!

[@andreamcclelland3152]

A beautiful lady brought beautiful products at truly beautiful prices....thank you for helping the world become even more beautiful!!!!

[@Bkchester78]

It’s so amazing the lessons we continue to learn from our childhood that are so pertinent today! So glad you have some wonderful memories of your mom! Such beautiful samples today and loved watching this lesson! Awesome prices too!

[@lizbeebe9649]

Thank heaven for Mom’s! You had a wonderful Mom that taught you well!!! Thanks for sharing! The class was great!

[@cherylcullen9087]

The metallic flakes are so beautiful! Adds that extra pop on each card! And the strip you added the purple and green stazon ink on the sliver metallic flakes is spectacular! And the red and brown to the rose gold is fabulous! Then when you added the greens and a just a bit more brown...it looked like a beautiful marble countertop! Totally amazing! This was such a fun class Stacey...you are the best teacher! I love how you think outside of the box! I would have never thought to have added ink to the metallic flakes!!

[@rwhalen1771]

Stacey, you are truly an artist that thinks outside the box, thank you for showing us these techniques. Oodles and oodles of options--I love. Rita

[@karenjones7414]

I like how you always take the high road! Such integrity! Love the papers so much! And the foil flakes! Such a great class! Thank you!

[@debbiebaker4515]

I’m rewatching this and I live the teachable moment. I have always taught my children to do the right thing ... because it’s the right thing to do. My kids are now adults and live by this.

[@dmatt6266]

Now I remember how beautiful the flakes look after putting them down. And thank you for the extra ideas, they are fantastic!! You did it once again!!

[@barbaratanouye2656]

Stacey, you are the reason I love your videos. your momma taught you right. I can listen to your stories all day

[@csthankful]

I love your heart, Stacey and love that you openly share the teachable moments and other happenings. You are my kind of gal!

[@arktisticallycreative4932]

Your stories & updates (Lady Gaga's pups) made it so much more special, too. YOU DO YOU, STACEY! DON'T EVER STOP! WE LOVE YOU JUST AS YOU ARE!!!

[@cherryb1115]

Don't ever change! You make so many smile, laugh and giggle, so why would you change? I love it people share their lives and moments in life that may help others. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!

[@PaperToPetals]

The paper, the flakes, the stamps, the samples, ooo la-la, I want it all. Soooo pretty! As usual great YT. Love Saturday with Stacey, so inspiring.

[@caroleshay9153]

I love how you showed to use the flakes. Others I have watched working with the flakes looked so excessively messy. You have inspired me. I LOVE using Metallics on my projects.

[@judiwerner6259]

Yes, beautiful products at a beautiful price. I don’t know how you do it every week, Stacey, but your classes always inspire me.

[@patricialinaburg4009]

You sharing you stories is why we all feel you are a friend. Thank you for sharing and showing your ideas. Hope your back is feeling better soon.

[@gloriaochs5253]

Mums are very wise and they always give us the best advise. I love the flakes, I have so many and I haven’t really used them, now you have give me so many ideas of how to used them . Thanks again . Great KZbin

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Loved your teachable moment. Oh and great story about Sizzix...they have a great sense of humor. No wonder we love them all. Great class today.

[@renaewolford3270]

Great tutorial! Loved the flakes and glue and tape technique! You always come through with teaching moments! and thx for sharing your stories! Love them!

[@c_baker6006]

Thank-you for teaching a less messy, less waste way of using gilded flakes. I have avoided playing with them for those reasons. Appreciate your artistic expertise!

[@carmenraddatz5362]

Stacey,. You are amazing. I wasn't able to watch yesterday morning as I was driving. I'm in shock! Thank you so much for chicken chicken gift card. Please do NOT ever stop being honest, sharing your life and teaching. That is who I watch you and try to make my purchases from you. Thank you Carmen

[@kathyroehrer4711]

Awww that was so sweet of them to send you that gift!! ❤️ What gorgeous projects on this video!! Thanks again Stacey for the how to videos!! 😘

[@delftmom3]

I love your stories Stacey!! Please don't stop telling them. And take care of your back!! We love you!

[@arktisticallycreative4932]

Absolutely great class today. Stacey, I cannot tell you just how much you mean to us. I honestly DO learn something new EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch one of your videos. Really love when I catch it live, like I did today. Been papercrafting since the 90s (was a Stampin Up! Demonstrator for a while, too). I have many products that sit around (don't we all), but YOU come along & "breathe new life" into them. Thnx for loving (& sharing with) us! My love, hugs, & kisses to you, Michael (Mr SMS), & the kids. Special THNX to lil Michael for packing. Now, if I can just clean & set-up my craft area!!! 😜🤣😂

[@michellerickard1290]

Stacey, I have to say I just love your parents. Your stories really bring them to life and to help me too! So thankful they taught you well and that you share those moments with us.

[@bevpage5441]

Hi Stacey. You always stun me with your kindness and insight. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Love the Sizzix foil flakes - the Reprint papers and toppers are so very beautiful and of course Sue Wilson dies are always fabulous. Love this KZbin - thank you for sharing.

[@susankempff4467]

Love your stories and object lessons...always good to remember what we learned in kindergarten. Love the flakes... super price....Thanks Sizzix and SMS.

[@shirleywood2901]

Stacey, you always take us on a learning curve, another great tutorial. Love your story - a lesson for all.

[@joycebenton9337]

I admire your scruples and I appreciate all I have learned from watching your you tubes. Thank you.

[@carolmcgregor3612]

Started watching the live but then needed to pause it. Then forgot about it. I planted my garden, made bacon lettuce tomato sandwiches for lunch, did 2 loads of wash. Came upstairs and remembered I was watching the class so I watched the whole class. Thank you Stacey for all you do for our craft. Love the product on this class.

[@sunlitegodis]

So love the stories and the lessons you teach- not just the crafting ones! Thank you for sharing a bit of your life and all the ideas and skills for making beautiful art. :0)

[@mtnmovenfaith1]

I LOVE your stories!!!! That's what makes friends. Can hardly wait to get the papers - just lovely

[@lauragehringer7212]

Reprints paper designs are exquisite. The life lesson story gives me hope something I say to my daughters will sink in and be helpful in their future.

[@wendihaikugrl2651]

Funny how something from when we were little kids from how many years ago comes back to us as “grown-ups” and is relevant now. A testament to you & your mom! Great tutorial & I LOVE ❤️ that paper! 💐

[@sunnires7326]

Good morning from NJ Stacey and everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and staying positive! ♥️ Thank you for being a constant source of making hearts happy, Stacey and best wishes for continued SMS success!

[@karenkeene2710]

As usual, this was a great class........I dont go out much anymore so this is my entertainment for the week.....LOVE out to you, your crew, and your son for all the hard work you do !!!!

[@teapot491]

I watched the premier and I've watched it three more times to get everything down so I can repeat this on my own. I have plenty of the flakes and I've never used them yet so now I have inspiration. Love this class.

[@suzboeh633]

It is like you chose this class for me! After years of not much paper crafting, I have been watching many of your videos over the last few weeks. I just decided that I would try out stamping first and the metallic flakes are calling to me!

[@debbiedellaire3495]

I always enjoy your stories as well as the classes - thank you !!

[@BobbiJoMadethisbyHand]

I have to tell you that I learned SO much from this video! I always learn a lot from you Stacey and appreciate you sharing your knowledge! you are a true blue wonderful person!!

[@roxaneemerson4286]

I love that you teach so many things, ideas and I love your laugh 💗💕❣. I hope your back gets better soon.

[@donnasperry4823]

Thank you taking the time to show us how to use the foil flakes. It makes me want to try them. I am on a budget so I like the ideas you give in using the products in different ways. Thank you so much. Love you.

[@monicalinerode1783]

Wonderful warmer day at our house in NE Ohio that my husband and I were able to walk almost an hour today, Saturday. Most of the snow has melted but my husband remembered to shovel snow in 5-gallon buckets to melt into snow water for our indoor plants. Thanks for taking the time to post. Take care of your aching back.

[@lisamoline7474]

Great class today! I love metal flakes - they add so much to a project! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@christywatts3346]

I love the gilding flakes. I forgot how simple those were. Thanks Stacy for the demo. And your Mom definitely was a wise woman and could see both sides of a situation.

[@madamhd626]

Thank you Stacy for another informative,interesting and teachable you tube class.....blessings dear one 🙏

[@cherin6037]

Good morning to all SMS peeps . Thanks for great videos and all behind the scenes work you do to get us our goodies!

[@jacquecoonan5675]

What a truly beautiful You Tube, from your story to the product! Thanks again Stacey!

[@cyndiagilbert6216]

I love your stories. And I know I’ve felt that way before. It’s a disappointment when something isn’t going the way you thought it would. The paper is so beautiful! I love all of it!

[@pennykitzmiller]

I enjoyed watching this class. Because I just love anything foiled!! You are truly an amazing person.

[@elisebb8423]

Stacey, your mom must have been a very smart and special lady! Thank you for bringing in affordable, quality products!

[@karinhoag8159]

thanks for being such a ray of sunshine every weekend Stacey!

[@lindaanderson7375]

Love your stories! I always learn something new for an old product on my shelf. Never thought of coloring the flakes with Stazon. I only have a couple of colors but great idea! Continued prayers for your back.. TFS.

[@Jackin2002]

Flakes and Markers are my Kryptonite! the paper is gorgeous, love it Stacey!!!!

[@cindyward5105]

Wowzers! That was a whole lot of crafty goodness. And the 'humanity" lesson makes it even more special! :-)

[@auntsuzieqsp]

Awesome you tube love the paper

[@outdoorsy.lori12]

Thank you for sharing yourself with us and being real! Life is always teaching us if we are paying attention. Any who, love the price on the metallic flakes too good to pass up. Pretty , Pretty cards!

[@Optshun]

Love your stories... proves mom always knows best! Beautiful products and fun class, see you next Saturday!

[@sunnires7326]

Gosh thank goodness for our Mommy’s voices in our heads and hearts even though they are not here with us! Hooray for our Mommies! ♥️ ♥️ Well done!

[@karengreig7013]

those cards are Gorgeous!! Love flakes, but never knew how to use them properly without having it all over the place. I always learn so much. Thank you

[@sharonmc4930]

I just love all the ways you show us how to use every product.

[@lynnmandeville1163]

You're so sweet; so real and so like all the rest of us. We're all just human. You have a great mom.

[@rtd1791]

“The hardest thing in life to learn is which bridge to cross and which to burn.” Don’t remember where that comes from but your teachable moment reminded me of this quote. I think learning to balance between the two is a life long process; sometimes you leave the bridge up but no longer perform any maintenance. I’ve been a fence sitter on the flakes, but now, oh my! As soon as you started rubbing in the flakes I thought alcohol ink. The edges and various orientations of the flakes after they are rubbed in are perfect for a process I affectionately call “ crudding up”. I not a huge fan of blank smooth perfection. That’s probably why I don’t use mirror foils very often. Few moments in life call for it. I like objects and people who look like they’ve been through some stuff and have a story to tell. I just got my Fur Babies collection yesterday. Wowzers! Honestly there were a couple of stamps I thought I’d pass along when I ordered, but after actually holding them in my hand, nope. I’m keeping all of them. There’s a great balance between cute and sophistication in the collection. I also realized that there’s more occasions to use the pet images than I thought. I actually was gel printing with the dog and cat background dies last night. I used the dies straight away. The background dies are brilliant with a gel plate. Even the edge dies that are meant to trim the edges of the stamps have interesting uses for mixed media.

[@jackieladue7644]

So happy my order arrived yesterday. Thank you for the surprise freebie which was included. You're thecbest! Jackie

[@DeborahsZoo]

Have to say we (Myself & my son) absolutely love Stacey Tape. It will fix just about anything 👍🙂. Also Stacey I love how you are the better person. Hope you have a wonderful week. Stay safe. Hugs!!!💜

[@franprichuk3679]

Great video this week, Stacey. I'm with you on the Yellow. Yellow is my favorite color. It makes my heart happy too....have a wonderful day! Cheers!

[@kathyvanstee9677]

I love your You Tube classes and the live chat...so much fun!!!!

[@kayteescraps6679]

Your story reminds me of moments my mom would teach me too, she would always say, "Do unto others how you would have them do unto you." It's hard to be kind and fair even if you are not treated that way. Thank you for sharing!

[@renecrawford1796]

Thankyou Stacey, for being the bargain hunter craft queen, we all benefit !

[@deniseoharra2478]

Love your videos! Thank you all at SMS for being so awesome!!

[@deeterra6339]

Well done Stacey, beautiful presentation, as usual you are costing me money, I am currently into doing junk journals and I love the papers. I have a very good supply of your sticky tape and I love it. Thanks for staying real.

[@gwenburns6011]

Love what you did with the gilding flakes. And, I am so happy to know that they can be used with small word dies. I was going to experiment and now I know. I move on to making things.

[@marthasalas927]

Stacey, your mom left you with many pearls of wisdom. Now to see if I can do all you showed I already have flakes. Have a wonderful weekend

[@jacqulynherman7617]

Great U-tube. Wonderful cards! You make my heart 😃 Loved your parable (your Mom’s advise vs Sizzix offer). Hope your back gets better soon, stay safe.

[@ednam7]

Loved your story about the birthday party. Made me think a lot. Love all this stuff and would love it all.

[@sandradavid4080]

Dear Stacey, thank you for such a great video. It took me 3 times to watch but it helped my insomnia 🤣. your mum was a very wise woman

[@kathleentritt7225]

Stacey, I’m late today so I missed the live class but I’m so glad to be able to catch up. Your story passed on such a wonderful lesson we need to be reminded of. Doing the right thing is not always easy .... but it will always be the right thing! Thank you for the reminder. Love your classes, always happy with my products, you’re a good teach and a sweetie!

[@paulinesharp6973]

Thank you again for another great KZbin lesson, fab products and gorgeous samples, take care x

[@lauravance8261]

Love the flakes they just make a card. And very easy to use. The cards the gals made are beautiful.

[@482milena]

Love Love Love the way you have shown how to change the colours and what a difference it makes to the flakes

[@MultiCoolkitten]

Beautiful cards and beautiful products. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@Kayj1223]

I love your stories....especially when your Mom is involved!

[@ilenetedescucci6923]

What an awesome class today Stacey!! I always learn something new from you! And by the way your laugh is infectious and I love to hear you laugh! God bless you and your family. Have a great week!

[@patriciascoble9680]

Wish I lived closer. We don't see these kind of bargins here and it costs so much to buy off shore. I always enjoy your classes. Thank you from New Zealand.

[@jilllederer9628]

Hi Stacey Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for all that you and the SMS team does.

[@lisamdrake5696]

OMG! I just LOVE EVERYTHING in this KZbin! Just placed my order...my second order in less than a week! Can’t wait til it all arrives! ❤️😁

[@francesbartholomew8057]

Love the Reprint Papers. I've never cared for flakes. Your classes are wonderful!

[@ninadowlin4938]

Loved the stamping with the glue and foils. Then stamping on that. Wonderful results.

[@maureenrobertson350]

Thank you for the tip on letting the glue get tacky. I love the edging method. Beautiful!

[@janesprando3638]

Good morning from Milwaukie, OR. We were without power and internet for 9 days. I missed the last 2 Saturdays and YOU all. Happy to “see” you and Stacey!

[@wandaharris2875]

Like your story and your since of fairness. Beautiful paper and card samples!

[@marklafleur7910]

Loved your story! So important for the world we live in today, where it tends to be an all about "me" society. Values like those in your story seemed to have been left behind and forgotten. This way of thinking is becoming extinct. Instead, it's more about "I'm not going to take that" or "I don't have to deal with you" attitudes. Before reacting to things, we all need to take some time and mull things over. We all get hurt or upset over things, but taking that time to really look at the whole picture before reacting can make a world of difference. Thanks for sharing and enlightening us!

[@tammyjones6358]

Once again, you and your girls did a fabulous job.

[@dianedragt7389]

Always a good reminder to be kind .we are learning about having a conscious in our bible studies this week ,your story fits in with that, thanks for sharing. Even at the age of 70 we always need a reminder, your mom was very wise.

[@michellecuppy8816]

Very beautiful! I had to go order these flakes after starting your video yesterday... but silly me forgot to add them to my order after finding so many other things I had to have too 🤪 Your mom was a wise woman who taught you well

[@PaperToPetals]

Love your Momisns, they’re the best! Look who she raised!

[@dorasanchez5075]

Hello Stacey and SMS girls. The foiling flakes are a great. I only had a little but I cannot wait to get more. Thanks for the class.

[@ianmackellar2307]

I did not expect to like this video, but I do like it and love the shiny stuff. I always learn something Thanks

[@melodiepellegrino2919]

I love you and your sharing of your life. We are all only human, doing the right thing isn't at ways easy, glad you do.

[@renaejolie2043]

I think these were some of the most beautiful cards you've ever made.
