[@sallyhill6565]

I agree with you about washi tape. Don’t think I ever used it on a card. As for now I’m really over the Gnomes. Don’t get them and they are everywhere 🫤

[@MaryMoisan]

I'm so done with gnomes and also mermaids!

[@bonniechesbrough5594]

Love this card so adorable. Please post another vintage card please please. At the gym one day, after the workout, all sweaty I am sucking down a large refillable bottle of water. My friend rips the bottle from my mouth. I was like hey...she holds the bottle up and there was a huge black spider swimming around in the bottle that I was drinking from. 🤮🤮

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Noooo....I would die 💀

[@barbborja1910]

Love the card Kelly. I started scrapbooking 26 years ago when I was pregnant with my oldest son (yeah, that actually did hurt to type) so I’ve been around for a lot of the trends. Generally, I don’t care what is popular at the time, I just do what I like and what interests me. I still make distressed, layered, foiled,etc. whatever I think looks good. I never cared for washi tape except to put on the back of an envelope. Current trend I don’t care for is super fancy envelope art. It’s beautiful, but I don’t have time to make cards, much less doubling it to make the envelope. If someone else likes it, great! Another trend I hope never comes back is the messy nest of string. I didn’t care for it then and still don’t. But if someone else likes it, great! No one ever complains that there are too many cookie choices in the grocery stores, why would they complain about too many choices in craft supplies?

[@sherrystanley6426]

I never want to see those cardboard circles that were meant for embellishments. You know what really amazes me about you? Every video you encourage. Your talents get better and better and you are already amazing, but you are humble, helpful and REALLY want to build others up to do what they love and love what they are doing. You are an inspiration. You appreciate us using your links to help you to have the tools you need to inspire us. Saying that - you also know how hard it is to find the money for all the things and you give us ways and encourage us to shop our stashes. Thank you.

[@crmuirhead]

I have never tired of the vintage vibe. Maybe it's because I'm a messy crafter so if I smudge my ink it's OK! Love the random nature of the textured backgrounds. Your Santa feels so authentic! Old dude, vintage background. Perfect!

[@747cindy]

Love, love, love this card! Yes more vintage. Vibrant Santa, just beautiful coloring!!

[@aufan7134]

Your water story reminds me of a trip home from store the beginning of summer. I drive a mini van with the middle seats folded down in middle row. I loaded all my bags of groceries in the van, start home and I hear the glug glug …. What the heck is that, I thought to myself. I get home, it’s close to 100 degrees out, open the side door and my GALLON of milk has emptied on my carpet! I vacuumed it for days with wet vac, and can still smell sour milk. Makes me gag thinking of it. 😂😂😂😂 Love this Santa card. ❤❤❤

[@denabaker96]

🤣😂🤣laughing so hard right there with you about that spider!!! My husband orders the spider murdering spray on line and sprays all outside the house and under the sinks or else I'm calling an exterminator and he doesn't want to pay 💰 that I would be your roommate in the mental hospital having broke down bc the spider crawled on our face!!😩😫😩😩 I do however love this card and would love to see you do another vintage one YES. I have yet to use washi tape on a card but I do like to reinforce the back of an envelope closed with it in a pretty color/design though. Love you taking off in your artwork career🎉❤❤❤

[@cpharkins8]

Love the vintage vibe of this adorable vibe! I'm game for another video. 😊 Also, I'm right with you on that reaction to the spider! ::shudders:: As for trends that I don't want to see return, I'm with the consensus: no more buttons, wide ribbons, bows, brads, eyelets, and washi tape. That said, I'm okay with twine and cording for the occasional embellishment and brads/eyelets for a functional purpose, and still use my washi to add a coordinating accent to &/or just to seal my envelopes. If a stamp image/message refers to buttons, I'm more likely to use a button die image popped up to mimic a real one, but if I happen to have a real one that works with my card design, the friend is super into sewing, AND I'm not mailing the card, I *might* use a real one (like once in many years kind of maybe!). I still have maybe two dozen small white & clear buttons that I could tint with alcohol inks for those rare occasions, and I do very rarely add ribbon to my cards, but on those occasions I use thin, narrow ribbon to avoid the extra weight & bulk -- I mean postage ain't cheap like it used to be, right?! I still hold onto a small amount of all of the above items for mixed media projects, but don't intend to revisit any of those trends if they return specifically for card making. 😉

[@traceylandt9026]

Love a bit of vintage Kelly! That Santa would be one of the cutest Santa’s around atm. A big NO to eyelets and buttons coming back from me, but a bit of distressing in the backgrounds is fine with me! I know to the non crafters in my life, they think I’m a bit of a hoarder, but as you said, just a cheap chicken and don’t want to have to buy it again, because it will come back. Keep well T x 🇦🇺

[@lizhummer1280]

I’m not big on vintage, maybe because people mix vintage and grunge together and it just isn’t what I like. However, your vintage background is clean,so it appeals to me, plus this large, non-detailed Santa is adorable. This might be one of my favorite cards you’ve made, and I have watched many of your videos. I also love your story time, even if it was bout a spider. I cannot imagine…..my purse, the paperwork it landed on, the water bottle….it all would have been in the trash can without a second thought!

[@55diy]

Love the vintage style. Funny when you asked which trend we didn’t like, the first thing that came to mind was Washi tape, and then you said it too! I used it on a card once. Once. Never again…Now I use it for taping down my dies as well. Trends I like: Vintage, Retro, Big florals that I can color. Trends I don’t care for: building a floral with stencils. I like to color and shade a flower myself…I have WAY too many patterned paper packs. I had planned to use on my scrapbook pages, but sadly I’m a procrastinator, so time to pare down..

[@jacquelinesmith5887]

OMG!!! Kelly that brought back memories of that house you and peanut were living in when you met Eric. I remember all those stories about spiders and bugs you told back then. Yes, I can picture you screaming and tossing the water bottle… I like that Santa! So often they just don’t do it for me because they’re not big enough to color really well like you just did. Loose, fine glitter glued onto cards or attached with double sided tape. There was glitter everywhere for weeks…

[@DJBouchard1002]

I love all your cards (bunny on the beach - so cute!) but this one is just...wow, and I especially loved seeing it come together.

[@debblws1961]

I would love to see Gnomes go to rest…enough already. Vintage is so fun. Love this Santa. Love the original Snowman like Frosty style without all the carrot noses. I’m a traditionalist. I love the stamped Santa before you put the colored version on too. You could have 2 cards. So awesome. You are an awesome colorist.

[@pconan1]

❤I LOVE the spider story, I would have done the same! Haha, the only thing I use washi tape for is sealing my envelopes, I only own a few rolls. I do NOT see the point of wax seals. I use all my ribbon bits, buttons and brads and even eyelets on tags now. I only make bunches of tags a few times a year so the old materials are holding out well. Seems like I was more afraid to use them when they were popular because I didn’t want to run out, now I’m very liberal with the bits and pieces. 🎉

[@dking1362]

This is the first Copic coloring video I have seen in quite awhile....I miss that "trend". I adore my Copics and use them often! My personal style is not vintage, but I enjoy seeing others who create it. I am fine with the passing of buttons, liquid embellishment "drops", and slimline cards. Never got into sewing on cards - don't want the time or hassle - so not missing its absence. I love making my own backgrounds, but find I do miss the beautiful designer papers. It has taken me awhile to pare down my stash, but I have always loved the variety of coordinating prints and patterns an artist can create from a color palette. Miss seeing ANY videos incorporating patterned paper - I seem to be the only one using it from time to time. 😔 Foiling is pricey (and I can get much the same effect from embossing),, so I HOPE that is a trend that passes quickly!

[@judyfrank2551]

Love the card. That Santa is adorable.

[@melodieisreal5933]

Love the card and the vintage vibe! I agree completely with you about spiders and bugs...at least you are mot still living in the critter house!! I don't ever want to see buttons on cards again! Lol

[@Via_Von]

Oh Kelly this is so darling! ♥️🎅🏻♥️ Yes, Santa clearly has some vintage vibes to him and your card base carried that theme beautifully! Thank you for showing your pigments and technique! ♥️🤗 I love pretty much every trend ... except the cards that have such depth to their design (think a plethora of 3-D floral elements) that one would have to ship it in a box and hope their recipient has a quality feather duster at the ready if they are going to display it. 🙄 Kind of ridiculous. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sueb-t2183]

so cute! I think my least favorite trend, is splatter, never use it and even though it looks great when others do, I just can't.

[@angelaadams9806]

I don't really worry about trends. I still use quite a few of those items mentioned. I just make what ends up on the paper. I try to have a plan and it just never really works out that way. I use anything I get my hands on if I think I can make it work. I don't have the funds for the stuff I would like to get. I looooove your background, the whole card is beautiful.

[@shirleysickinger200]

Love love love this card and vintage vibe.... yes do more!

[@rebeccanielson]

Love your Santa and definitely the vintage vibe.

[@2cre8iv2]

Such an adorable card. I agree with you washi keep it in the vault. Also brads and eyelets.

[@mariecurle5901]

I would love more vintage style cards.

[@madusonkeeper]

I remember turns out very pretty sometimes with gold metallic ink did some christmas backgrounds that way. Also once I did kraft card with teal blue and white pigment ink snowflakes and vintage photo distress. ORTHO HOME MAX WORKS WELL AND PET SAFE STEM AND ZEVO WORK.

[@emilybemily4397]

I wasn't a crafter at the time but a few years back I remember that matting and layering seemed to be a big thing - the more mats and layers the better. Put me off starting to craft for years!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

It was definitely a huge thing for awhile

[@normajeanbray5960]

I like your vintage style very much. Great Santa. Enjoy your videos, watch every one. Like your voice.

[@nancyrolfe3033]

Such a cute card and your talent is still stunning!! I’m happy ❤ you are able to do this for your full time job now. Sounds like you enjoy it and we definitely benefit from the extra time you have to work on your ideas and try different ideas. I’m “down for the vintage vibe “!! I’ve just gotten into cards. I wasn’t aware of any of this until I retired from teaching and accidentally had card making videos pop up as I searched for watercolor tutorials. It’s wild because I have dabbled in so many different types of crafts and I’ve painted with acrylic since my 20’s and oils in my 40’s. I guess I’m from such a small community and no one really did anything like paper crafts?? I’ve moved twice and would seek out the art community (usually just a handful of people). With the last move to West Texas oil area there’s literally not any art associations. When I tried getting it into the schools (I’d NEVER heard of schools not offering art!!) and starting an association I couldn’t get ANY support or interest from the Mayor, Chamber or school board. Hopefully, after we complete our remodeling, I can start some classes for children and adults in a building that is in the backyard and/or the house. I’ve been super excited about starting my new crafts. I’ve been watching but when I sit down to create a card I find myself feeling lost and overwhelmed. I’ve made three cards and each one has taken so many hours!!! I’ve never felt this way before when starting something new…even oil painting wasn’t this intimidating, etc. Maybe I will just copy what someone else has created until I get a “feel “ for the designs. I’m not sure why I seem to struggle with putting together something….. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated… Blessings, Nancy Rolfe

[@vivianarendt7989]

Love this card… yes to more vintage and even a bit of grunge… have only been cardmaking since 2020 so it’s all new to me…

[@PNW_Suzi]

Super cute card. Loved the spider story! Eek!

[@cathymorris8072]

Darling Santa card! I'm just getting into vintage. Your card inking & torn paper gave me more ideas to use on my cards. I'd love to see more vintage ideas. Thanks!

[@shirleymcneely1994]

Love vintage, show your other ideas. This card is quadruple awesome

[@carolrietzke6295]

I’m loving the vintage vibe!

[@annahellinger2183]

Love the Santa. You did an amazing job. I don't like the buttons or the washi tape. Thanks for sharing.

[@melissazabower339]

Trends but unrelated to crafting: target seems to have time warped to 1992 with their teen clothes. My niece thought the baby doll dress was amazing. I pointed out the parachute pants. Everything old is new again! 🤣

[@cherylmartin9618]

THAT WAS AN AWESOME JOB ON THE SANTA . I LOVE IT ! I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASK !

[@maryhughes6390]

Washi tape is the worst. I have only used it a few times, it doesn't stick well and peels up so yes only good for dies.perfect pearls are one of my favorites. Not that they ever went out of style, just not used as often. Great card!

[@marieperkins5004]

First time watching your videos. Loved the vintage Santa!

[@lauradavis7122]

Spiders! An aboriginal repellent I was told about is to put Chestnuts in all the corners of your house in the fall. I tried it for the first time last year and it really worked. Slowly, in the late spring, we started to see them again. Warning: cats love to play with them under your bed in the middle of the night!

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

Beautiful card as always. Diggin’ the vintage vibe. As soon as you said the word spider I knew where this was headed! I was laughing picturing what all you described was happening. Spiders don’t bother me as I think I shared with you a long time ago that I’d go down in our window wells and play with the spiders. What can I say? I’m a weirdo. Lol. Buttons and ribbons can stay out of sight IMHO. Even though I have a bunch of both, I’d still be good with them never returning.

[@lindastone8560]

I love this card. I would like to see more vintage. Glad you are getting to do this full time!❤

[@78Kimberli]

Amazing coloring and I love this card.

[@kathleenuribe3541]

Me too! I don't follow trends! I love your videos. Also I've your stories!

[@AngieBaumer]

Absolutely love the Santa. I just found you on KZbin recently. I so enjoy watching your videos! Fabulous job.

[@donnaricardo2109]

Another stunning card absolutely love your work

[@carolhinojosa908]

I love the vintage look. You're such a terrific colorist.

[@carolhinojosa908]

I'm like you when it comes to spiders. Even fake ones. They scare me to death.

[@carolprice3142]

Love your card . We were doing to vintage look back in 1996

[@wendyjackson5976]

Love this vintage card and would love to see more…I’m not sure what trends I don’t want to come back but I have so much stash I could cope with the return of most things 😅😅😅

[@violetolson6512]

Really enjoyed the lesson in vintage and your storyline. I hope to view your tutorials more

[@JulesandGrae]

Great card and loved the vintage vibe

[@deannamulder]

Love Santa! I'm in agreement about the ribbon but I also would not like all the 3D flowers to come back. Hard to mail a card with those little hummers on.

[@elainewood7719]

Loving the vintage vibes I would like to see more please. Spiders no longer bother me i just escorte them outside. Bee's that come in through the cat flap likewise. Wasps are open season.

[@jeanniewolfe8459]

Love this! I honestly thought I was going to pooh pooh Christmas cards this year. I don’t know why, maybe because it started in July. Anyway, you have inspired me to drag out my old Christmas wood mounted stamps. I like the vintage look. It’s hard for me to throw anything away but I still have buttons, washi tape and a ton of stick on letters. Can’t see ever using them again. Ha. Also, never liked the cutesy doily ribbon stuff.

[@debreeps397]

The Santa is awesome yes please show more vintage ideas

[@JPTBus]

I like vintage, particularly around the holidays. ❤❤

[@deannarobyn]

Girl I would have had a heart attack. I am terrified of spiders. I love your card as always. Santa is adorable

[@craftyasonline]

I looooooove washi tape. To look at. But every time I go to use it, I have no idea what to do with it. So now, I just use washi tape to either seal or decorate the flaps of my envelopes.

[@rhondacesana2221]

Normally I get depressed when I see a vintage style card LOL but this one is fabulous! Just enough vintage, yet still vibrant focal point. I still gravitate toward CAS but would not want to see buttons and bows on cards. One button maybe; skinny twine okay. But multiple buttons and grosgrain or satin bows - no thank you😂

[@user-sl6ep9wo9m]

Hi Kelly. My 7 year old daughter and I love watching your videos. Her favourite ones are the sangria card(she hadn’t asked what that is yet 😂) and the potion bottle one. She has watched them over and over lol. Thank you! I was wondering if you could do a video on the poppy cards you did for Hero Arts. They are absolutely stunning. I don’t think I really have a least favourite cardmaking trend or a favourite one. I don’t follow trends but if I like the technique or result, I will use it at anytime but am glad that supplies I may need are readily available if that technique is trending.

[@juliegonya6236]

I'd love to see your other vintage ideas! I love the look. This one reminds me of when I was a child. - I hope mulberry paper stays way deep down in my stash ;-)

[@LauraRumble]

Trends… *whispers* I don’t like the gems and pearls thing… please don’t chuck me out of craft club! 😂

[@Cre8iveCindy]

That’s hilarious. No worries girl, I’ll sneak you into the club through the back door. 😂

[@theresapace892]

totally digging vintage vibe xx

[@LoJo99]

Love the vintage vibe…..awesome coloring!

[@AdventuresWithCarissa]

Luv the vintage vibe you created, because it’s a modern vintage with the clay snowflakes and gold embellishment.

[@lindameche6942]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Your painting is beautiful too. Thanks!!

[@suelanham5125]

Your are my sister! I can’t handle spiders. I had an aunt once who stored her drinking glasses with the open end up. I was at her house, made myself some ice tea and lifted the glass to my mouth to drink and found I was looking at a grand-daddy long legs as he was sliding toward my mouth! 🤮”oh, he’s harmless” did not help the situation!! I would like to see something that is popular right now go away and that is foiling. It is just another gimmick to get me to buy more expensive stuff I can’t afford. I refuse to start that trend. Loved your card, Santa is adorable.

[@Harleylady2000-Teresa]

Omg your story just made my day lol the woman work cracks up when I see a spider

[@helensheppard8435]

Love the vintage vibe

[@rhondasarcone6822]

I’m sick of stitching lines on dies. Well I kind of like certain dies like borders with cross stitching or dies made to embroider on. But not straight stitching. And I don’t like machine stitching on paper especially messy stitching and especially long thread tails. Love this card.

[@CraftyToad70]

Beautiful card. The size of that Santa stamp is amazing. I am right with you on the spiders. The good Lord gave them acres and acres to live their best lives. If one ventures across my threshold, I have no mercy and just hope my husband is home to dispose of it’s carcass!

[@bevhill9818]

Love the Santa and the vintage vibes. Please do not bring back buttons.

[@katrinadotta7628]

Haha, I like listening to story time😄 I don’t know if I’ve been doing it long enough to have a worst trend list. I would agree that washi for me is really difficult to use, so I’m good on that one, to each their own. I think overuse of buttons and ribbon would drive me crazy, My biggest pet peeve are supplies that don’t last in storage, I’m looking at you pastes! The press n seal trick works pretty good though.

[@jane-ellenweidanz9236]

Torn edge - used to that years ago! Love the background. Don’t bring back grommets.

[@marianamyers4142]

Love the card. Love the vintage.

[@tabithamackenzie2172]

Love this card and the vintage look. The spider story… uh yeah, I’d do the exact same thing. Do not bring back eyelets - that hammering drive me nuts!!!

[@lyncrawford3349]

Kelly, my mum hated spiders. Someone told her to put down horse chestnuts around doors and windows. Of course you need to be careful as Kaitlyn and the dogs are running around. Another fabulous card. Love, hugs and prayers. To you Kelly, Eric, Nathan, Kaitlyn plus your mum and dad.xxx❤❤ ❤ from Northern Ireland.

[@avrawilliams8675]

i agree about the ribbon!

[@scubajenn5]

I love BIG stamps & I cannot lie!! Yes...that's been said. I said it again without shame! I still tear paper in my crafting. I use ribbon occasionally (because I have A LOT). I do NOT like stickles! I don't like using the stickles to outline an image, a shape, a sentiment...no thank you! However, I have lottsa stickles...I have since seen a youtuber use them to paint over their images so it's just a broad sparkly whatever. That has renewed my "cheap chickeness" to use them up!😊

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Love your card. Thank you.

[@pattymackenzie-burns1352]

GORGEOUS!!!Love it!

[@lindamay3539]

Love the card. Love your spider story time .. my scared scream is grasshoppers. Ugh!! The ones with wings are even worse. Who said they could have wings. ?

[@bethjackson8727]

I struggle with vintage because sometimes it becomes too distressed or old looking. I’d be interested in seeing how you deal with the vintage look.

[@MareeForman]

Your cards are gorgeous and this is no exception. Love the vintage look and you did it so well. I think that the big bows are a no no for me. 💕💕💕

[@clb343]

I live in AZ…. Last evening a wolf spider fell off my cabinet door, brushing my arm as it fell to the countertop!! You probably heard my scream from way over there!!! The third one we’ve had in the house in just a few days!! They’re helpful spiders…. But I do not want them in my house!!!! 😮

[@clb343]

And I love your Santa!! Gorgeous!!

[@5kidsnluvnit]

Gurl FACTS!! spiders yuck! totally love this Santa, bring on the vintage but then I'm a fan of all things kelly taylor! you never seize to amaze me, I'm a sucker for holidays especially Christmas! one trend I never got into is buttons and eyelets ( remember the lil metal setting tool and hammer??? 😂DEFINATLY not my thing! but im so grateful you share your creativity with us! thank you kelly🤗🥰

Love the vintage vibe. HATE spiders. Washi tape. I never really found a use for it!!

Your copic coloring is just insanely good. Love your videos. Long time watcher here lol. That sounded a little creepy sorry, ha ha. After watching this I feel like I'm going back 2 m,y desk to finger paint lol. You are so talented. Santa looks awesome!
