Campfire Light with Copic Markers: Rambling Day Recap

[@zeylabrandt9708]

Oh, Kelly, honey, you ARE special! Yes, many of us are busy, though not always as busy as yours. But your gift of storytelling and your card making talent are very special, and much appreciated and enjoyed by many. Thanks for the smiles!

[@christineh1988]

The highlight of my day is when a Kelly video is posted. Chip dip fairies (you must have a fairy for everything!) and herding cats in your brain... where do you find this stuff! You have put a smile on my face that I still haven't lost. Your patience in piecing together your card with your masks and all that colouring is amazing. And no - my days are certainly not crazy like yours, but that makes me appreciate all the more, the effort you put into sharing your cards.. so THANKS!

[@whoooami2090]

You do the best one-layered cards. If I tried all of that, Bill would have been in the fire, drowning in the lake. 😂

[@janeagleson7822]

Awesome card! And yes, you have every reason to be exhausted! You have so many jobs, a little boy, a house to manage and you are a professional crafter! Makes me feel tired just to think of all you do!

[@reneepeace2050]

Awesome scene!

[@chantalle7340]

BTW-The cars is a masterpiece!!!

[@amandapitman617]

"One night, in a phosphorescent sea, he marveled at the sight of some whales spouting luminous water; and later, lying on the deck of his boat gazing at the immense, starry sky, the tiny mouse Amos, a little speck of a living thing in the vast living universe, felt thoroughly akin to it all." - Amos & Boris by William Steig Your card tonight, and Peanut's insistence on a moon, reminded me of this scene from a children's book. I thoroughly enjoy your one layer cards!

[@martharoberts2167]

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Scene card, Kelly! Your talent even while herding cats is I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Thank you.

[@MegaDharrell]

You are amazing. Your patience and love of the one layer card makes me smile! You lift my spirits soooo much. You do you boo, and never stop.

[@peggyfullbright5709]

As usual, terrific job Kelly!

[@glennistrotman8421]

Beautiful card, thanks for sharing

[@ilonamollema6467]

You really are the Queen of one layer cards! ❤ I've seen a lot of comments about how Bill would have ended up if someone else had tried to mask and stamp this scene. They are hilarious and I think my card would be a resume of all of that. A nudist Bill with no arms, laying in the water and the campfire floating around. 🤣 I've so much respect for the way you are able to keep all the balls in the air! I couldn't do it, I'm sure. But you do it, and still smile and make jokes while taking care of everyone and everything. Hats off for you! Your an amazing woman!😘

[@chrisd2832]

You're a genius when it comes to masking...and Copics too of course. I love watching you create these amazing scenes.

[@patcox8745]

Masterpiece!

[@kristintorres2466]

You make my cheeks hurt from smiling so much as I watch your wonderful card come to life. Kelly, I remember those crazy days when I was stretched with kids dogs and work. Now my youngest has 5 more days of high school left and I am asking myself where did the time go. There are days I don’t even see him with his schedule and mine and my daughter is in Chicago at graduate school so she is not home often. It’s great those to have you to listen to and hear your side of things and remember when! Thanks as always for sharing.

[@bakaderka1]

You are the Queen of the one layered card! I would have lost what little bit of my mind I have left trying to figure this out!! 😜😂 Lawson's chip dip is the BEST.....I miss it soooo much!!!. I miss Donato's too......

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Girl, I just had Donatos breadsticks this weekend. They are the best but I can only get them at work. All the other ones are closed down in this area :(

[@christyscherbarth1428]

Love the card. We took our daughter camping when she was a baby. Then our son came along and we did the same thing. Our children who are adults now still love to camp. I love the card and your story in how your day was going. Yes, we all have crazy days and lives. Lol

[@henriette9969]

Oh my Kelly, you made me laugh all the time, poor Bill, than the story, Bill again, story and all those lovelyness in one video😂😂😂. Thank you so much Kelly, you made my day and a gorgeous card!

[@kristinosifat464]

Oh Kelly - you should really add comedian to your list of jobs!! I was only 6 mins into the video and had to stop it. I was laughing so hard when your hacked off Bill’s ears! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Funny & talented - great card!! 😃😃

[@tracilord4854]

Holy Smokes! Stunning as Always! ❤😘

[@scrapgirl6]

Beautiful card and I think you are like Wonder Woman! You do so much and you’re awesome !

[@lisaobrien8060]

Seriously adorable card

[@cathymorris8072]

Sooo cute! Early on when you were coloring the sky & water I thought it would be a mess but as you say it's a trust exercise. Peanut nailed with the suggestion of the moon. I love listening to your stories and laugh out loud!

[@lindailey2225]

I certainly did enjoy your Bill the Bear card plus your surgery on him. I just sit here and grin when I listen to your stories and sometimes just bust out laughing. I agree with the lady that said to take wipes with you to peanut's BD party at the bowling alley. It's amazing how dirty bowling balls get. Many thanks for picket fence code which I used today for ink, a stencil and several stamp sets. I have an addiction to stamping supplies and I know why some call it a collection. Now I want onion dip with wavy potato chips. Have a great week.

[@debiv7834]

Love this card! So fun! Now I need s’mores!

[@MultiCoolkitten]

LOVE this card! I’ve been missing your one layer cards!

[@reginaperkins8255]

I do mix media, I don’t do cards but I love watching your videos. The detail that you put in them is just awesome. 👍

[@kristinevencel2898]

LMAO during this video!!!,!,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Great story time today! I don’t know how you can handle everything you do. I get tired just thinking about it. Lol I do remember just running...running...running when my boys were little. Not sure I could have dealt with 3 jobs. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. And this card is so darn cute!!!

[@mycreativebent]

Love this. I hand drew an element on one of my cards and it’s because I watch you and you do things like that. I love the gas story. My husband is the first one and i tend to be like you. I love all your videos but I will be honest. I like all the stories.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Yay for trying new things!!

[@cherylcrenshaw6164]

You are the Queen of scenes malady. I love watching how you figure it all out. It is way more than I would do. Thanks for sharing.

[@kmlanagan]

Love, Love, Love this card. Also love story time! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@samanthajohnson2690]

Yes! I too am always burning it at both ends. I work full time(in 4 days) , teach card making class on friday, both my kids are mid track season(meets everyday this week) , trying to help my mom get ready for a garage sale both she lists her house, and on top of that I signed up to have a craft table at my boys school craft show..so I need to make 300 cards in the next 18 days. So I'll be really in need of a nap soon.

[@ilovescrapbooking]

LOL! Old Town Road... my kids run to skip my apple music when that comes on! hahaha! Oh, and super cute Bill card!

[@pamlambert7181]

I love watching you make scene cards! Great card

[@terriconrad4612]

Great card and coloring! Per your usual talented self! And BTW....parenting, work, family, friends, expectations, obligations, etc etc....part of our human existence. But be comforted in knowing you are not alone.... by many who are still in it and many who have lived it and now are on the other side of it. I had 4 kids and was very involved in all they did, and I remember the fatigue and pressure. Now that I’m on the other side, I see them with their kids, probably more appreciative of when THEY were kids. Just be easy on yourself, say no when you have to and make time for yourself. AND.... enjoy eating those chips and dip while you can! Someday they’ll be a distant memory! 😫. Lol! Always love your videos! Sorry for the novel! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@743linda]

Cute card! I love Snyder BBQ chips too!!!

[@Kathylquiltz]

Simply amazing! A great bedtime watch and story. 🙂

[@renaedavid9727]

I just can’t get enough of you and your amazing creations! Thank you for sharing

[@kathybalch]

Who in the holy hell put a thumbs down on this beautiful and informative card?! Sheesh! Free education you nut. Thank you for all your work and fabulous explanation of the hows & whys of this firelight card Kelly.

[@janets132003]

Great lesson, tfs.

[@abbystone5738]

OMG! I can't believe you're killing me with Snyder's chips!!!! Haven't had those in years and years. . .

[@barbborja1910]

Adorable card. Happy early birthday to Nathan! Just a bit of Momma advice, usually if you book a bowling alley for a birthday party, they have a room in the back for parties. Of course, you should double check when you call to book the party. Please remember to bring baby wipes. The kids will have filthy bowling hands and will be starving. Very difficult to get them to go wash their hands, baby wipes are a decent alternative.

[@NancyLynn]

Ditto on the advice for booking a bday party at a bowling alley! Great card and great story....I was ROTFL! Happy crafting Barb and TFS Kelly

[@Kitchensurprise]

Great, as always!

[@stylesformiles79]

I've had 2 dogs around pools that they couldn't swim. Funny & sad. Great card & thank you for the fire lesson.

[@craftylemur]

Such a gorgeous scene. I love making one layer scene cards. It's worth all the time and effort when you see the end result and you have shown that here.

[@OwlCreekRanchGirl]

I love your storytelling. You are hilarious!

[@Kambennett3]

Beautiful card!!! Lots of work for you but I love your long videos and I could watch you color all day!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lisadelong1455]

Awesome one layer scene card. The "glow" from the fire is realistic looking. Coloring is amazing! When I heard about Billy Ray in a rap song I was thinkin oh hell no. Lol

[@mitzibud6908]

Your VO brightened the start of my week. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit!!

[@78Kimberli]

Wow! This card is absolutely stunning!!!

[@andreahastilow8581]

One of those type of days is what we call a hamster wheel day, where you're running all the time but getting no where, man alive we have a lot of them at times so I'm right next to you on that. Card is brilliant with it without arms & ears hehehe. Hope the party goes well, nearest I get to bowling is spooning pudding into one xxxx

[@suebrozek4305]

Stunning card. You are amazing. I have a thought for you. You could make cupcakes (I think they would be easier at a bowling alley) but instead of frosting individually you can push them together and frost them as one (they call it pull apart cupcakes or something like that). I don’t know if it would be less work than individually. I’ve only done one or the other (cake or cupcakes). Maybe some other followers may know? You could go to google, KZbin or go to Pinterest to see them? Just a thought. I love your stories. You make watching even more enjoyable. Thank you for all that you do for us.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

What a cool idea!

[@Ladycrafty6]

This card is absolutely amazing and your narrations are fabulous! This made my day! THANK YOU!

[@KonaSitkaRose]

This is an outstanding scene, Kelly! I love the yellow highlights from the fire. Creating an entire scene take a lot of time for me, a ton of work. When done, it's usually fulfilling, sometimes it just should go into the garbage lol!!! Thank you for the incredible beauty! Aloha PEANUT!

[@cakegirlscott]

This card and these story’s make me so happy! I have watched this video fully 2 times, this is so amazing love it so much

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

Bill has arms..Bill loses arms...Bill get them back😂😂😂Bill loses ears permanently 😂😂😂😂 Chip Dip Fairy😂😂😂 I was belly laughing! Your scene cards are so amazing!!! I cannot mask because fussy cutting give me anxiety. Seriously, I don’t know if I love your cards or your stories more😂

[@susanbyers7523]

Really cute card

[@samanthamann1523]

oh my gosh! so cool!! LOOOOOVE that vibrant night sky!! amazing!!!!! soooooo cool!!

[@jess424619]

Love this card!!! It does look like real fire! Thank you for sharing your Amazing talent with us!

[@kellyjoskreations]

AWESOME CARD! I Absolutely LOVE your videos!!!!!! Thank you!!!

[@TheresaPetermann]

The comments your videos get are too funny. Had me laughing all over again. Most of the music you talked about I have never even heard of. I know I am dating myself big time. Great card, love Bill. I've never tried to color an entire background in with copics, have to get brave and just do it. thanks as always for sharing.

[@teresadoyle1396]

WOW Kelly, I love your one layer scenes, they are always amazing and I have to admit, I always learn something if not many things! TFS!

[@cathymiller4489]

I'm 1/2 a tank before I refill! I'm also an Army brat. We never show up late, we are always early.

[@heikecarlson1281]

You are so right about the Snyder's of Berlin bar-b-que chips, they are the best!

[@melindamorgan1736]

That card is a masterpiece!! I’d love to be able to do that but being precise doesn’t come as easily as it used to. I love watching you and hearing all about your fun and crazy life.

[@Jacq28]

You are the best at one layered scene cards! I'm too afraid to even attempt masking!

[@suzie5340]

Lol Kelly your so funny, this was part stamping part surgery ! But honestly you do the best one layer cards ever, brilliant. I am going to try more but one layers, you have inspired me yet again, I love the stories too, your a genuine artistic genius my dear 😘🇬🇧 and I am pretty sure if I had done this card, Bill would be on fire lol !!

[@chrishawnsimpson]

Beautiful card. Awesome stories. i laughed the whole way through!

[@Rachaelfrancesart]

You are awesome. I love listening and watching. So real....

[@traceylandt9026]

Gorgeous Kelly! Thanks for sharing. T x

[@tiffanyb4646]

Aside from this card being super cute, I just am tickled that you said my name twice in this video and that your son has the same nickname as my baby sister who is now 28 ❤️ she’ll always be my peanut

[@cardsbycolie]

Amazing card! Very intricate with all the masking but soooo worth it! Your so talented! 💜🖌

[@pomerx2]

As I’m listening to you remove poor Bill’s arms and ears, all I can think of is “I got your nose” from when my son was little lol 😂

[@KDVoller]

Peanut should have a blast bowling for his birthday.. Call the bowling alley and see what they have for party packages. I have 10 grandkids and we take all of them bowling for school breaks so all of the cousins can get together. PS.. ♥️ the card.

[@christie7252]

Yay! A scene with lots of masking. These are my absolute favorites to do and you are about the only one to do them on a regular basis so thank you! Love this little scene, now maybe I need Bill the bear. Purple Onion Designs are my favorite for scenes, so many cool little bits. You should check them out!

[@pamfarr7761]

This is one awesome card Kelly. Like I've told you, I'm still catching up, lol. And yes, you are just one of many, many women who try to make more hours in a day than there really are. And like one of your other subbies said. You need to add comedian to your list of jobs. Love your work, your videos, your stories and most of all, love you 😘❤

[@kellm2301]

Hey Kelly, Thanks for your videos. I learn a lot about masking and copic colouring from you. Just seeing you apply the theory is a huge help in understanding how the colours work together. I also listened to your commentary on life and had a giggle because it is nice to hear someone from my own generation talking about music, etc. :D Just listening to you reminded me of an audio book I just finished called "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado Perez. It offers an explanation as to why we don't have a moment to scratch ourselves. I think you might find it interesting. Anyway, I love your work. All the very best to you. :)

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I'll check it out thanks!

[@LizReeves1971]

Love watching and listening to you! Watching you make a card is so relaxing, listening to the cats can be a little🤪. Just teasing...I love you!

[@nicoleengland9223]

You are the goddess of the one layer card and of story telling, and I wish I was half as good as you are at copic colouring. I also wish I had that bag of cats running around my head😱😂 Freaking hilarious

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Super cute card ❤️❤️

[@susandzama3000]

Dairymans chip dip from Marc 's yum!

So cute! Bowling party would be super fun! I still dont know how you keep up! You make me tired! LOL

[@sarahaudette218]

Love this card! I absolutely love your stories along with the card making! I haven't been in my craft room much in the last 2 months cause I'm having baby #4 and haven't been feeling to well. Hope to be feeling up to at least coloring soon.... I very much enjoy your videos! Take Care ❤💕

Pregnancy is hard. Sending prayers for you and your peanut!

Great card ~ great story time~ who could ask for anything more. Thanks for sharing. xo

[@stanky6261973]

I love your coloring skills, they're outstanding! I love your stories and your exaggeration (16 when it was 2) I actually do the same thing lol and I can appreciate that :) Thank you so much for both.

[@01pnut]

Card is gorgeous! Voiceover - 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@pjtodd6756]

I had planned on doing one for my husband, but then thought the brother-in-laws would like it also. Made for a long day, and I forgot to not stamp his ears! UGH! Glued a makeshift hat on. Not as cute as Honey Bee's, but, I didn't have to restamp everything. Thank you for the video!

[@kathleencarter9739]

You are just spot on with your shading Girl! Also i agree with you on Billy Ray Cyrus! My husband hated “Achy Breaky Heart” that’s the only good song he did. Good to dance too.Great card!

[@meganharp2422]

Great card, you always knock it out! The billy ray song is just plain ridiculous, my daughter mentioned it a few weeks ago. Thought it was a joke!? But I do love how you wanted to be JaRule forever!! I literally spit my coffee out!

[@the_paper_trail_with_makira]

Too adorable!!!!! 💕

[@gialicegarcia]

I totally get what you are saying about a crazy day. But if you have not seen the movie bad moms I hardly recommended for you to watch it. Btw thank you for sharing what you do with us!

[@blondecardsncrafts]

Fab card! Your so gifted. Listened to the 2 songs, like 'em both lol Tfs 😁😘

[@urbangardenproject]

This is fantastic! I have to try this lighting.

[@nancielively723]

Kelly, I just love that you are a “HOT MESS”! I think living here in NEO may contribute ...something in the water? Here in Canal Fulton our family preference is Lawson’s Chip Dip with Gold’n Krisp Potato Chips from Giant Eagle. I have a Snyder’s distribution center a few blocks from my house. I will keep my eye out for any barbecue chips that happen to fall off a truck.

[@michelehogarth1001]

Great card hope all goes well with the birthday bowling party. Cupcakes are much easier to serve but you will have to let us know what you decide. Take care have a good week.

[@dawnwplus9]

Omg! Heard that song this weekend and was like "what is this crap?!" 😂

[@veransia]

OMG, thank you so much for this video! I want to use this stamp set to do a Father’s Day card but wasn’t sure what to do. Your card is so gorgeous... not sure I could do the same, but really appreciate the tips for masking on Bill the bear... the arms and ears, lol. Gives me some ideas for sure. I haven’t watched the whole video yet cause GoT is starting in a couple mins, but I’m coming back as soon as we see who survived this week, lol. TY, Kelly!!!

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

Amazing card. TFS
