Doodlebug's Under the Sea - 35 cards from one 6x6 paper pad

[@roxannetucker5813]

Beautiful bright colors in this Under the Sea pad! The stamps used are pretty cute too, especially the little pirates! Thanks for sharing your creative magic!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Roxanne Tucker Thank you! Doodlebug paper pads always have such cheerful colors and cute images. 😊

[@rubymeagher1005]

You are awesome! I, too, send out cards daily to developmentally disabled adults. So satisfying! Thank you for your reply. Blessings!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for your giving spirit. I'm sure you have blessed so many lives. Have a wonderful day!

[@asylumlane]

I love watching you create and it's amazing to see you even use up most of your scraps as well.

[@shannondewitt7950]

Love watching your process! I also really love the colors in this paper pad and anything from Doodlebug! Thanks so much for sharing as I was hoping you'd do another video soon!

[@carolmelancon]

Love the "beach" music and seeing your process.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you, Carol! My husband gets the credit for finding my music. I just tell him the style I want and he usually does a great job. :)

Inspiring as always, you work magic on a 6x6 paper pad thanks.

[@bethhansen821]

Thank you for such speedy answer to my question. Now I need to find out which ones I have stored (somewhere) and which I need to investigate.

[@yukongirl11]

love love your process!! Happy to see another video made!!!

[@Ness1279]

Welcome back, Kristie! Been a while since your last vidclip. TFS! 😁❤️

[@mita.s21]

Aaaah!!!! Yay!! I feel like it's been ages since you posted...but yay!!! AMAZING!

[@KristieMarcotte]

+Sanghamitra Sharma Thank you! Sorry about the wait. Life gets super busy around and after the holiday season. I won't take as long for my next one. :)

[@mita.s21]

+Kristie Marcotte Oh yay!! Knowing that made this wait worth it! TFS :)

[@monicarohr1950]

Love this! It has inspired me to try it!

[@rainlyte2003]

Hey Kristie Loving your videos. Would you please do a video explaining how you have your camera set up. You have the best, clear angle I've seen. Thanks! Creative Blessings!

[@KristieMarcotte]

+Kelly Henkins Thank you! Perhaps I will do a video showing my setup someday. But it's really not anything fancy. I use a couple of shop lights for my lighting and my camera is hooked to a post on the ceiling and hangs directly over my desk. It works great since nothing is in my way while I make cards.

[@rainlyte2003]

overhead angle is working awesome! thanks for sharing. Creative Blessings!

[@histerp51]

This was beautiful and soo interesting. I learned a lot. But I'm Sooo dizzy...Smile

[@RenePrice]

Love these videos!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@jodeecross8105]

How do I find out all the sketches that you used? Wow amazing you did such an amazing job! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@KristieMarcotte]

JoDee Cross Thank you! I always share the card sketches on my coordinating blog post. The link is in the description box. 😊

[@sgough4315]

AMAZING, KRISTIE ! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LITTLE PAPER IS LEFT. WELL DONE. SUE

[@nancern53]

You're amazing!

[@weeblez72]

amazing.. as always.

[@galecrafts]

Great way to use up an entire pad of paper! WHere do you find the sketches that you are following? What a help... Hugs, Gale The Happy Stamper :)

[@ashleycopper]

+galecrafts - ( The Happy Stamper ) Mojo Monday, Reverse Confetti, OWH, My Favorite Things. She puts where the sketch is from and the number of it at the bottom of the screen in white text. They are also on the blog post that is linked in the description.

[@KristieMarcotte]

+galecrafts - ( The Happy Stamper ) Thank you! There are lots of awesome card sketches sites online. I have a list of some of my favorites on my blog. And links to all the sketches I used in the video are also listed in the blog post.

[@margrivera8775]

Such a great tutorial! Do you need to request permissions to use the card sketches? I was hoping to try some for my own blog but I don't want to break any rules! Thanks in advance.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! I'm not sure if it's required to ask permission first. But because I use someone else's images, I think it's the right thing to do. So, yes, I did personally request to use the card sketches in my videos, as well as on my blog. Always give credit where credit is due. :)

[@margrivera8775]

Kristie Marcotte Thanks for the reply. I agree 100%, which is why I wanted to ask as I am still acclimating to blogging. Looking forward to watching more cards series tutorials!

[@normakhatab3699]

Hi have you made a video using the doodlebug 6x6 page for fairy tales or dragon tales?? Your videos are fantastic!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you, Norma! I'm glad you are enjoying my videos. I haven't made any videos using either of those collections yet. I did just finish the Fairy Tales 6x6. However, I did not record the process since I've been working on it on and off for the past month. Instead I will be sharing the cards on my blog. I have considered doing a video using the Dragon Tails though. :)

[@normakhatab3699]

Kristie, well I'll have to follow your blog now!! Love the work!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it! :)

[@newcreationstudio3969]

Love the video, do you mind me asking where you got that huge roll of foam tape from?

[@KristieMarcotte]

+Shannon McCree Thank you! I bought it on Amazon. It's Scotch mounting tape. The 3/4" x 38 yards.

[@newcreationstudio3969]

Thanks!

[@karenthompson895]

WOWZA!! 😁💖

[@bethhansen821]

I am curious about the sizes of your circle and oval punches. Yours are graduated so closely. I only have the large, medium and small sizes. Which ones do you recommend?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I use circle and oval die cuts, rather than punches. Mine are from Spellbinders, but there are lots of other companies that carry circle and oval die cuts. Usually there are 2 sets to purchase so you can have the close size for matting.

[@jodiekeighley3345]

What size do you card your actual cards themselves please Kristie?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jodie Keighley Hello. All of my cards are A2 size. 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”

[@HewyDewyLewy]

Yessssss!!!!!! : )

[@rubymeagher1005]

What do you do with all the cards you make?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Hello. I donate many of my cards to my church and local nursing/retirement homes. I put together card baskets to donate for different silent auction fundraisers. I love to give boxes of cards as gifts for family and friends. And I also use many cards to personally send out to people. There always seems to be a NEED for handmade cards.

[@KaBoom.V]

had you made videos using 12 x 12 stacks?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I don't use 12 x 12 paper pads. I prefer the smaller pattern designs on the 6x6's.

[@KaBoom.V]

Kristie Marcotte thank you. I'm actually just going to cut my stacks into 6x6 pieces and go from there. Your videos are great!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! I've heard of many people cutting their 12 x 12 down to 6x6 size. Years ago, I used to have lots of 12 x12's, but gave them away when I started using the smaller paper pads. Happy crafting to you!
