I absolutely love this older video. I don’t like cards with a load of waffle, and faffing around. These are perfect. Thank you Xx😁🦋

[@janethenderson4650]

You are the best card maker that I ever seem . Thank you for that video.

Janet Henderson Aw, thanks! You are very sweet. 😊

[@beverlystotz5652]

Touchdown! Lol!! Fabulous cards. You know, I can craft and have football on, but I can't craft and have your videos running. Because FOMO! I always have to back up to see what I missed. So this was all you, me, and a cuppa this morning and I loved every minute of it. Thank you for breaking my Monday in gently!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beverly Stotz Haha! I hope you still like me, but I’m not really a sports fan at all. That’s why crafting always comes before football. 😉 But I’m happy we had a lovely Monday morning together. 💖

Thank you for all the great tutorials. I think I have watched your videos several times. You have shared a lot of helpful tips and ideas. Right now I am making Christmas cards and have tried many of the sketches you share. But sometimes I have a hard time trying to color coordinate. That is not my strong suit. Thanks so much again.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Janet Doecke Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this lovely Christmas collection. 😊 I don’t let the thumbs downs bother me. I can’t please everyone.

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

The ironic thing is a thumbs down is the same as a thumbs up as far as KZbin is concerned…lol….according to a very popular KZbinr 🙂so if anyone thinks their thumbs down hurts your channel it has backfired on them .

[@lorrainebarnes97]

A great set of cards. My favourite is the poinsettia card. Simple but classy. X

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lorraine Barnes Thank you! I really like how the poinsettia card turned out. 😊

[@kathyvick2710]

This is my first time watching your channel. First of all….😳! Wow! Mind blown at your creativity and talent! 👍🏻 I am a crafter as well….stamping, scrapbooks, paper crafts, etc. I love buying paper (my hubby would say I’m a paper hoarder…😉) for various projects including the 6”x6” paper pads because I love the designs but then get home and put them in my stash for “another day” hoping I will get the creative juices going. This video was very creative and inspirational to help get my creativity a boost. Thanks for sharing and I will be checking out your other videos! Blessings…🙏

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much for your kindness! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. 💗

You are the BEST..................keep it up. God Bless You Thanks, Scherree

[@KristieMarcotte]

Loved this one, especially the traditional colors/patterns and the new sketches you adapted. The more Christmas cards the better no need to stop!! 😊 My favorites were the car pattern one with the Christmas tree (I actually thought it was a brick pattern at first) and the black snowfall one with the one large silver snowflake.

Love your work. If you want to save money on using shiny paper boarders use shiny wrapping paper instead. I buy it after season mark down and save even more. I also bought finger nail accent strips for the shiny stripes you add on, this also is much cheaper.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Renee Kennedy Thanks for watching my videos. I appreciate the support. 💖 I find it easier to line up the layers if I start on one end. Then I know I can get at least 3 sides even. I can always trim the last side if it’s a bit too long. I try not to press the paper too hard just in case in need to reposition it if the last side is too short.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beth Catanese Hello and welcome! I appreciate your kind words. 😊 I use card sketches all the time, not just for Christmas cards. They are great inspiration and you can easily adapt them. Yes, you could definitely use sketches to create scene cards and add in some cute animal images. I don’t color very often, but I do like to use ephemera packs. For this video, I decided to stick with mostly sentiments and some die cut images. ❤️

Really liking your videos... I looked but I'm not finding it listed. What is the really thin trim you use? Silver and red strips?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 The thin stickers are called Peel Offs and they are made by Love From Lizi. I do have a link provided in the description box. I love Peel Offs and use them all the time. 💗

I'm considering getting the same paper trimmer you use. Do you still love it as much as when you first got it? Is there any drawbac kk s I should know about before buying? Thanks

[@KristieMarcotte]

I love my Tonic trimmer! I've had it for over 10 years and it still works great. No replacement blades to buy! The size may be a bit large depending on how much space you have. But there is an expandable bar so you can cut up to 12 inches. I also have the smaller version, but I don't care for it at all since it doesn't seem to cut straight.

Can you tell me where you got the Christmas gift dies you used at 29:20 in the video please? I love them! I know this is a year old now but I'm hoping they are still available. Thanks.

[@KristieMarcotte]

The tiny gift dies are from Queen & Company’s Special Delivery kit. I believe the kit is still available. They don’t retire their products very fast.

Your cards are beautiful. Where did you get those super thin strips of red, green and gold foil?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Yasmin Dellemonache Thank you! 😊 The thin strips are called peel off stickers and they are sold by Love From Lizi. I have a direct link in the description box where you can purchase them. I absolutely love adding them to my cards! 💖

Hi Kristie, love ALL of your cards. Question, If I want a product and click on it, say to scrapbook.com, put it on my wish list will you still get credit when I go to buy it? I'm moving and can't order anything right now.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Donna Murphy-Vallee Aw, thanks! 😊 Most companies have a window of time after someone clicks through the link for commission sales. It varies for each company, but I’m sure it’s only about a week or 2. You could always add stuff to your wishlist now. Then when you are ready to make the purchase, click on my link again. I really appreciate you wanting to help support my channel. It means a lot to me. Thank you! ❤️ I hope your move goes smoothly for you.

Is the paper from the 6x6 paper pad similar to cardstock weight or typing paper? I have paper pad I need to use up but the weight/thickness of the paper is more like typingl paper.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Carta Bella's papers are a really nice paper weight. I believe it's a 65 lb weight. Not as thick as cardstock, but way thicker than copy paper. I don't care for paper pads with really thin pattern paper.

Kristie I receive my "Love from Lizi" thank you. Now I can start use on my cards. Where did you get the finger cutter. I look at JoAnn's and went on Fiskars and didn't we it?

[@JudithMott-zm6bg]

How can I get supply list and directions for these?

[@jackieguillemette576]

Hi Kristie, I have been watching your video's for some time. Love them. Can you tell me if you sell your templates? Jackie G

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! I didn’t design the card sketches, so they aren’t mine to sell. You can always print them to use though. I share them on my blog and also a link to where I found them. 🙂
