[@sandih4741]

Wow, I'm always amazed at how you can use every last scrap!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sandi H Thank you! It’s fun figuring out ways to use as much pattern paper as possible. 😊

[@mikhail114]

Loving the recent additions of characters to your cards! These videos are always so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@KristieMarcotte]

mikhail114 Thank you! It was fun including the cardstock stickers. Doodlebug makes the cutest products. 😊

[@roxannetucker5813]

Doodlebugs Christmas Town paper pad made the ideal cute holiday cards, Kristie. All of the cards are fabulous! have usually around 67 cards to make for the Christmas season, so' I need to get mine started and I have a lot of the 6x6 pads.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Roxanne Tucker Thank you! I love Doodlebug paper collections. Happy Christmas card crafting! 😊

[@annettelyle363]

You are one Mad Crazy Card making girl!! Wonderful! Just wonderful!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Annette Lyle Aw, thank you! This was a fun paper collection to use. 😊

[@sandypellecchia5699]

Wow! I loved what you did with this paper pad! Great cards and very very little left at the end! They’re all wonderful: love them!!🎄

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sandy Pellecchia Thank you! It’s always fun to use Doodlebug papers. 😊

[@JesusFirstForever]

Kristie Just Love your cards...….it sure makes a 6x6 paper pad go a long way. Please let me say as I know everyone else feels the same way. Thanks a Million times over for all your hard work and sharing with us. So glad I found you. Love N' Prayers Scherree

[@KristieMarcotte]

S. White Aw, thank you so much for your kind and supportive comment. I really do appreciate it. I have the sweetest crafty friends. 😊💖

[@donnaconaway9368]

I love watching these for layout designs. I add more personal touches to my cards than are ever in these videos. I do love checking out the numerous layouts though. I need to start making a file box of layout ideas. This paper pad is not Christmasy enough for my tastes, but Echo Park and Carta Bella have nice 6 x 6 paper pads this season. I love the pads that include cutouts. Happy crafting.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Donna Conaway I’m glad you are enjoying the card sketches I share. I’m so grateful to all the talented sketch designers. I like to make a variety of different styles of Christmas cards every year. I just love Carta Bella’s Christmas collection. It was the first Christmas video I did using the new paper collections from the year. I can never resist Doodlebug’s darling 6x6’s though. 😊

[@JesusFirstForever]

Hi Kristie Just realized how much I Love Love Love all the beautiful Christmas Music it's JUST GREAT...…….If it were left up to me we would play Christmas Music year round. Let you in on a little secret my daughter( Leah and I play it year round.) I know were nuts but we just love the holiday spirit and you can't help but be in a good mood listening to it all. I had never heard the long instrumental song. It gets me in a good mood, Thanks for listing it and thee author .Now I am going to get me a copy of it to play in the car, it's simply lovely. So a BIG HUG to you for the whole package. Love Ya, Scherree

[@KristieMarcotte]

S. White Christmas music is very enjoyable. I usually listen to it while making Christmas cards. I think it’s fun that you and your daughter listen to it year round. I’m glad I could share a new artist and his beautiful music with you. 🙂

[@ThorneyRose]

Yay Kristie! Another 6x6 pad done and dusted! It’s great to see that beautiful cards in non-traditional colours can still speak the message of the season so clearly. It helps, of course, that this 6x6 pad was transformed by the hands of a skilled crafter! Thank you Kristie, for continuing to share what you do so well with us, your viewers. 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosanne Allbon Aw, Thank you! I’m so grateful for sweet crafty friends like you. 😊

[@angelaf5040]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@terrie1226]

It still amazes me how you put all of these cards together...you certainly have an eyes to mix up pattern paper with stripes and so on...it's always a pleasure watching you...well done and tfs

[@KristieMarcotte]

Terrie Rodrigue Aw, Thank you! I always appreciate your kindness. I hope you have a wonderful day. 😊

Joan Orloff. DK Thank you! Doodlebug paper collections are always so fun. 😊

[@papercraftmoon869]

Loved all the card! Specally the pink ones!!Lately i have gotten more and more in love with the color pink🌸😍 and i really love it as a christmas color! Just got the Stamperia Pink christmas papers and they ate sooo pretty😍

[@KristieMarcotte]

Papercraft Moon Thank you! Pink is the perfect color for any holiday, in my opinion. Lol! 💖💖💖

[@carlottaford3455]

I love that you start the Christmas cards early. I’m slow getting mine done and it’s good to have the inspiration.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Carlotta Ford Thank you! I try to get started on Christmas cards as soon as the paper collections get released. The problem is trying to figure out which paper pads to buy. There are always so many choices every year. 😊

[@marionk.2236]

So beautiful! Warm greetings from Germany !

[@KristieMarcotte]

Marion K. Thank you! 😊

[@beverlystotz5652]

Kristie, you are amazing! I'm actually working through a Photo Play collection using your technique. It is taking way longer than 5-6 hours but I'm thrilled with the results! Thank you times 1,000,000!!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beverly Stotz Thank you! I love that you are using this technique with a different paper collection. That’s okay if it takes longer than my crazy card making. As long as you are happy with the results. 😊

[@sharlenechapman6718]

Another fantastic set of cards!!!

~~Oh, what fun it is to watch/ How Kristie's making cards!~~ ^_^

[@KristieMarcotte]

sophyamary Aw, you are always so sweet! Thank you! 😊

[@MetalScrappinChick]

I wish I could change my ATG tape as fast as you do in these videos Kristie lol 😁 I absolutely love this paper collection! Doodlebug is probably the cutest paper company ever 😊. I am really tempted to go and buy every product listed in the description, just to make all of these exact same adorable cards. But then that would not help my serious craft supply hoarding situation lol, and the fact that I have a closet full of Christmas card making supplies that has been accumulated over the last 20 years and just seems to grow instead of shrink - even though every year I make approximately 70 Christmas cards plus handmade gifts plus projects for different swaps.

[@KristieMarcotte]

MetalScrappinChick I am pretty fast at changing the ATG tape. Lol! 😉 Doodlebug always makes the cutest paper collections. I can rarely resist buying every one. I should stop purchasing new 6x6’s and try to finish the ones I already own. But there’s always fun new stuff available. 😊

[@karengerek643]

Such a sweet collection. The use of the stickers was a great idea. Every single card is just so stinkin' cute. So grateful that I have you for inspiration. Be well Kristie -

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Gerek Aw, Thank you! I’ve enjoyed adding in the cardstock stickers with the Doodlebug paper collections. They make such adorable products. 😊

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

I truly enjoy your videos. Your creativity with matching the papers is so fun to watch and I am not a fan of watching cards being put together(well actually there are a few people I like to watch cause they get right to the point). I like to see the end result with some explanation. But you speed up and the process and DON'T TALK. LOL You also leave the card sketch up in the corner so we can follow it. Thank You for sharing.

[@KristieMarcotte]

cynthia tuczynski Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. My 6x6 videos would be sooooo long if I didn’t speed them up a bit. Lol! Doing voiceover is not my gift. I do more explanation on my 10 cards 1 kit videos. If you want a closer look at the card sketches, I do share them on my coordinating blog post. 😊

[@jeannetomshack875]

Fabulous work, Kristie! The collection is so fun and your color and sketch choices are wonderful. I really liked the idea of adding the vertical strip to the cards where you normally add the horizontal. Why didn't I think of that?! LOL Thanks so much for sharing and I can't wait to start on my own set, thanks to your inspiration. :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jeanne Tomshack Thank you! I think it’s the first time I’ve ever used a vertical strip to the inside of the card. I didn’t want to waste the paper, so I figured I’d try it. 😊

[@suzanossino2684]

You're amazing--and so are your cards!!

Great colors in this Christmas collection and love the iridescent stickers as well. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debra Tunjian Thank you! I had the iridescent Peel Offs leftover from a previous video using a Love From Lizi kit and knew they would be perfect for this set of cards as well. 😊

Too cute! Great job as always👏🏻

[@KristieMarcotte]

Val's Faves Thank you! 😊

[@olivemaycards]

I had to laugh at "just one more card" - I usually say that at least once (sometimes a few times) after I think I'm done with a paper pad. I like the cardstock stickers you used with this pad -the results are very cute!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jo Blackford I was finished. But I kept looking at the leftover scraps thinking, I could use those for another card somehow. So I did. Lol! I really like the coordinating cardstock stickers and they are less expensive than the Odds and Ends die cut packs. 😊

Yea!!!! Another amazing and delightful video! Love the Doodlebug papers - they're so cute. (I also got the Halloween one.) You really went to town on this collection. So many sweet cards. Thanks for sharing. Now, I'll wait eagerly for the next one! (That's right, I'm hooked on your imagination - can't get enough!)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beth Hansen Aw, Thank you! Doodlebug papers are always so fun. I bought the new Halloween collection as well. But I have plenty of Halloween cards for the year. So, it’ll have to wait until next year. I have a huge list of videos to work on right now. 😊

Where did you find that delicious treat? Hoping I can get some for me >:D Sweet Sunday #220 is my favorite of the collection, though I do still think they're all beauteous.

Nice. Just got this pad but no stickers. I have a snowman stamp. Hopefully I can get some other ones to use before I start making my cards. Thank you for sharing ☺

Such cute paper!! You did a fantastic job as usual 🎄I most certainly love the sketches on this one as well. Tfs have a super weekend

[@FanofFoulLanguage]

I’ve been in love with that does that multi circle curved die that you use for banners. Please tell me where it’s from if it’s still available! Thanks. Never mind. I found it!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

kelli green Oh good! Glad you found it. It’s a fun die from Reverse Confetti. I have the star garland die as well. 😊

[@laurelsinger7166]

I love the card with the circle banner. Do you have a link to buy that die? Love all your videos!

[@KristieMarcotte]

laurel singer Thank you! The die is from Reverse Confetti and is called Circle Garland Confetti Cuts. They have a star design as well. 🙂

[@photosbyjerseygirl9499]

Very cute ! Do they require extra postage?

[@KristieMarcotte]

* Photosbyjerseygirl Thank you! None of the cards are overly thick, but I would probably put extra postage on the cards with dimensional tape. Although, I usually donate my thicker cards to a local retirement home. 😊

[@photosbyjerseygirl9499]

Kristie Marcotte thank you for answering 😀

[@roden70]

Beautiful cards once more. The stickers go really well with the paper. I have a question: for a few cards you used a bunting of beads in the corner. Is this a die? The little irridescent stickers add so much to the cards and are so simple to use. Are they from Love from Lizzie? I have to try out to find if they are sold in the Netherlands because the shipping makes import so expensive. Thank you so much for sharing your cards with us Kirstie. It is very inspirational.

[@KristieMarcotte]

roden70 Thank you! It was fun including the cardstock stickers since the images are so cute. 😊 The die is made by Reverse Confetti and is called Circle Garland Confetti Cuts. They have a star design as well. The iridescent stickers are Peel Offs and they are exclusive to Love From Lizi. I know she ships internationally, but I’m not sure how expensive it is. I absolutely love her Peel Offs and she sells a variety of colors. 🙂

[@JesusFirstForever]

roden70 The iridescent peel offs are less than $3.00 and there are so many colors like solid gold and solid silver. I use them all the time there so inexpensive. Just log on to "Love from Liz" she also has some very cute and priced reasonable card kits each month. You must check them out. Hope you order some they really jazz things up and they go a long long way. Scherree

[@JesusFirstForever]

Hey they are $1.69 each for Love from Liz peel-offs

[@KristieMarcotte]

S. White It’s a very reasonable price. Especially if you’re a monthly kit subscriber. I love the Peel Offs! 😀

[@deborahcarr4058]

Kristie, since you layer a lot, what weight cardstock do you use?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Deborah Carr I use 100# Cover weight cardstock for my card bases. It perfect for handling the extra layers. 🙂

[@jenisyverson8187]

I love this collection... as always you did an amazing job 💕💕. I love the pinstripe iridescent stickers, do you know if someone more “local” to WA carries them? I was trying to purchase from the Love From Lizi site but shipping was outrageous 😩

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jeni Syverson Thank you! I love Doodlebug paper collections. 😊 The Peel offs are really fun. They are an exclusive Love From Lizi product, so currently you can only buy them through her store in the UK. The sheet I used was leftover from the Festive Friends Card Kit I recently used. 🙂

[@dww786]

Jeni, have you thought about seeing what else you might like in her online shop to make the shipping worthwhile (she has many lovely items, & I'm planning this for my "Santa wish list"). And/Or, maybe compile an order with a friend? Those peel-offs are luscious, I agree! Just a thought. :o)

[@jenisyverson8187]

Cards Classic or Cute .. I did look at her other items and have a little “wish list”, but as I added items shipping just got more expensive...I was going to be paying more for shipping then the actual items. I didn’t think about splitting an order with a friend, great idea!! Thank you 😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

Cards Classic or Cute The Peel offs are so awesome! I added a bunch to my last order. 😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jeni Syverson If you have a crafty friend to share the shipping costs, it’d be super helpful. Also, if you really like Love From Lizi monthly kits and subscribe, you don’t get charged any extra shipping to add things to your kit order. But if you decide to order, stock up on the Peel offs. They come in many colors. I love the glitter and mirror Peel offs. 😊
