I have just found you, how I do not know but you are AmaZinG!! I have not seen a video like this ever. I have looked online for the Papers etc of Away in a Manger. It’s discontinued 😢😢 Cannot find it in the UK and a couple of Etsy shops in the USA have parts of the collection but are not shipping to UK at the moment. I am disappointed, but I am also delighted, I will be following you from now. Thank you for the inspiration, even though I am two years late!!😍😍

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness. 😊 I share this style of video quite often on my channel. I love using 6x6 paper pads. I recently shared a video using Echo Park's newest Christian Christmas collection called The First Noel. Maybe you will be able to find that collection in the UK.

[@theelaavar]

Thank you for this! I wish I had found this video back in November!! This is the set I used this year and thanks to being sick, I just could not get inspired!! I managed to make what I needed, but now I'll be ready for next year! I already have most of what you used in this video, but I clicked several of your links and ordered more! I'm thinking I'll start way early and get enough cards made to donate to my church! Again, thank you!!🥰🤗

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ela Avar Bummer about getting sick. I always lose inspiration when I don’t feel well. Great idea to get an early start this year. Thanks for using my links. I appreciate the support. 😊 I hope you have a lovely week. 💖

[@theelaavar]

I just bought one (or more) of each part of this set!

[@bethpiquard]

💗 EXCELENTE como siempre. 💡 IDEA: con esos scraps se pueden hacer una tarjeta o dos más. Al principio eran 9 tiras. (Pero las usaste para pegar adentro de las tarjetas.) Entonces te quedaron 5 más. Y sea con 9, con 5 o con 14, si usabas las tiras junto con lo que les cortaste, 😃 podrías haber realizado una tarjeta más, o incluso 2 usando esos scraps y decir que realmente usaste TODO. (Jennifer Mcguire tiene videos de tarjetas hechas con SCRAPS. 💡 Tal vez te dispara ideas!!) De todas maneras, 💖 excelente!!!! (Semejante cantidad de tarjetas las guardas o las vendes? Jeje) 💜 Abrazo!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Analía Piquard Thank you for your kindness. 😊 I know there are lots of amazing ideas for using up those thin paper scraps. I actually like putting them on the inside of my cards as a bit of decoration. Sometimes I wish I had enough pieces left over for each card. 💖

She sure does. I did. Although I haven’t had time to play with the peel offs I’m so glad I got them. I’m ready to use them on Christmas cards.

Kristie, I love this pack. I was hoping you would use the manger scene did cut with the paper with ths star. I would have loved to see what looked like. I will use my imagination...lol. Great job! ;0)

[@KristieMarcotte]

kakylong2 Thank you! It’s a very lovely paper collection. Sorry I didn’t use the combination you were hoping I’d use. I think I had considered it. But then I really liked the look of the one cut apart on the star paper instead. 🙂

[@jeanettep3642]

Really awesome job! I'm waiting for the day you can't find a scrap left lol. Thanks for sharing :) I've been also watching a channel called Bourbon Creek Crafts. She is tackling 12x12 pads. She mentions you often as her inspiration.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jayel Pritchett Thank you! I will always have some teeny tiny scraps leftover. But I do try to use as much as possible. 😊 Yes, Bourbon Creek does an amazing job using 12 x 12 paper pads. How sweet that she has mentioned me in her videos. She’s very talented. 💖

[@piaasmussen7921]

Hi Kristie, I love watching your videos, they are great inspiration for me :) I have one question though, do you make the card a tiny bit smaller than the rest? :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Pia Asmussen Thank you! 😊 My cards are all A2 size. But it bothers me if just a sliver of the white card base is showing, so I just trim it off. (Except for the times I intentionally have a thin border of the white card base showing.)

I discovered your one pack or one sheet wonder videos yesterday and this is the third one I’m watching. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Could you please tell me what brand or kind of colored paper is used for accent (background). I love those green and red colored papers. Thank you!

[@KristieMarcotte]

G Wilson Thank you for your kind words. And welcome to my channel. 😊 I use a variety of cardstock brands. Some has been hanging out in my craft room for many years. When I do need to purchase cardstock, I usually go to Joann’s when they are having a sale. They carry Bazzill, Coredinations, and Darice. When I know the brands and colors, I try to list them on my coordinating blog post. I believe I used Bazzill and some old Color Mates cardstock for the red and greens.

[@janicewhite5707]

I enjoyed this compilation! Where did you find the green embossed paper? I really like the look it sets off.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 It’s by Tonic Studios, called Spring Silver. I do have a link provided in the description box where you can purchase it. The paper isn’t embossed though. I used an older embossing folder by Darice.

I see you use the tape gun a lot. Any issues with it holding over time? Been considering getting one but haven’t so far

I haven't had any problems overall. I will add a little liquid adhesives if the papers have a specialty finish on them. The ATG refills are very inexpensive. I buy mine from Tape Jungle. If you use the code PINK you will save 10%.

[@Minalynn53]

I'm sorry I know you've mentioned this before but I can't find it (if it's somewhere obvious my sincere apologies, I place all blame on allergies). Is the paper you use for your card bases the Accent Opaque Thick Cardstock Paper 100lb Smooth? I found it on Amazon and I think this was it but I wasn't completely sure. Thanks!
