Don't ever worry about making the video too long. We come to see you because we enjoy watching what you do. Too long? Never!

Aw, you are so sweet! 🥰❤️

[@kiwilliams6410]

I really love watching you make cards! You are super talented. You do it effortlessly.

Those wave cards where you made your own paper out of the scraps were my favorite! Creative way to use scraps and they turned out beautiful. Loved how they almost looked like fabric.

[@jessicadarinbennett7441]

I absolutely adore all the cards you make! They always come out super cute and elegant 😊 I've bought a few things (paper, dies and stamps) because of you, and I love it all! Thank you for sharing your talent! I would love to send you a card to show you how my cards have changed for the better 💜 Coffee and Friends was the first video I saw of yours and have been watching you ever since. Have a wonderful day! -Jessica

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much for your kindness and support. 😊 The Coffee & Friends collection was so fun. I love happy mail and would be honored to receive a card from you. I have my mailing address listed in the description box. I hope you have a lovely week. 💖

[@PapercraftwithKay]

Awesome cards . Your choice in music is fine. A person once told me you can't please everyone all the time and the majority of people are happy with what you do. I found that most helpful. 🙂

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 Very good advice. I know I will never be able to please everyone with my content. 💗

[@marycollier1293]

I love blue and white paper. You made some fabulous cards (as usual)!!!

Beautiful as always! I’m always shocked at how little you have left over.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you! I do my best to use up as much pattern paper as possible. 😊

Great cards and great patterned paper to choose from!

These are all really nice. I was going to say my favorite was "......", but then there was more and I could no longer decide. ☺️

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! I really enjoyed using this collection. 😊

[@jamiecoutu]

Such lovely cards!! I love the color combo.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you! The colors in this collection are so pretty! 😊

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

Love these colors! My favorite was the one with four small white squares. I sometimes use different music like you said, either because I want to switch things up or I'm watching on a different speed. If I want to learn a technique (like tying better bows) I might slow it down to 0.25 speed for a minute, and sometimes I watch the whole thing at 2x speed and/or fast forward here and there depending on my schedule. Looking forward to seeing your growing pattern paper scrap pile and seeing what ideas you might have for it! 😊 Thank you so much for these wonderful 6x6 videos! I love the mix of this kind and the kind, the occasional short video about oen card/technique, and the kind with the full voice overs.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed using this lovely paper collection. I try to share a variety of video styles so there's something for everyone. I'll admit my 6x6 videos are my favorite. 😊 My daughter watched one of my videos at a different speed once and had a good laugh at how my voice sounded. Lol!

[@tammyjackson5411]

Love your cards. The music is good. I don’t mind the longer videos. I grab one of my many projects and work on it while watching. I am looking forward to see what you do with all yours scraps!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you! Sometimes my 6x6 videos do get a bit long. Lol! The don't feel that long when I'm making the cards though since I always enjoy the process. 😊

I only stopped when I started dozing off - the aftermath of PT, the lovely music, and all of that peaceful, ocean blue!! But then I finished watching. Simply magnificent. All of it. Some people's children..... Lol!

Sorry to put you to sleep. The peaceful ocean will do that though. 😉 Thank you for always supporting me. 💗💗💗

These pattern papers are so beautiful. But I really liked it better when you take your time and Stamp It where we could stamp with y'all

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! 😊 My 6x6 videos have been getting a bit long. That’s the only reason I took out most of my stamping time.

Greeat to see a lot of the older MFT sketches, and as usual, you've sparked my interest to go looking back at those older ones...

OMG ! I just got this entire release-don't usually do that but I thought this was an exceptional release. Of course I had to have the new colors -her inks are a must, I'm going to watch this in segments- I make charity cards now and get SO much inspiration from you, TFS , These colors are so wonderful, this whole release just spoke to me and blue isn't even my favorite color. I'm a green girl with yellow running second, Have a great day everyone,

[@KristieMarcotte]

The entire new release is amazing! If I colored images, I would have purchased the other stamp sets as well. I'm very happy with CP ink pads. No regrets at all about now owning every color. Lol! 😊

[@TheStacysperry]

Great video!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@2CraftySeniors]

Sorry Kristie. I forgot your policy about links and put one in my first comment. So... what I said was: These cards are all really lovely. On these videos of yours I usually make myself a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy the video. I sometimes keep the music volume low or even mute it if if becomes too repetitious. And this is when I put in the link... which I won't do this time. There is a place called 'Creative Commons' that has many music artists who share their music free and without license. I am not associated with them, but thought you might be interested.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 I get a lot of spam, so it's just easier to not allow links. Yes, I have used Creative Commons music. Some of the licensed music I use is also on Creative Commons. Paying for an annual license is a great way for me to support the artists who provide music for creators to use. 💗

@@KristieMarcotte how do these ink pads compare to others like GinaK, Altenew, Pinkfresh?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I enjoy how you add two different DSP prints to one card. Quick question when adding embellishments such as rhinestones do you add extra pc of cardstock when you mail the card?

DUH! Play my music in the background - sometimes I wonder where my brain is anymore. :-) My music - totally INAPPROPRIATE to the general public :-) (Pandora - "Theory of a Deadman" station). I totally enjoyed this and will need that paper pad - your cards, as usual, are GREAT!! TFS

[@paulashattuck5983]

Just a question, Why do you sometimes cut the card base when you go to put the front on it? Do you film this a one time or is it spliced together?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I don't always want the white card base showing, so sometimes I need to trim off just a sliver. Probably a little crafty OCD on my part. Lol!

[@paulashattuck5983]

Thank you so much! Enjoy your vacation away from home. Sorry, I missed the other part of your original comment. I do not film my 6x6 videos all at once. It takes me several days and I take breaks all the time. (You will usually see my shirt sleeves change if I'm wearing long sleeves. Lol!)
