PS for years my style was Victorian and shabby chic and distressed and grunge but since I found you I’ve converted over to Queen and Co and doodlebug and LFL and bright happy themes. Thank you for all the happiness you’ve brought to my crafty world 😀

[@KristieMarcotte]

Cathy Krebs That is quite the change of styles. I’ve always preferred the brighter designs. 💖

[@wendywell4864]

Wow!!! All your results were terrific! My favourite was the gingerbread shaker!

[@jeannetomshack875]

Excellent work, Kristie! I really liked how you made the elf. Great thinking out of the box. All the cards are wonderful.

[@ShanShan-sz8bo]

I love this format where you show just one card at a time instead of showing you making multiples at a time. It’s easier to see all the details of what you are doing. Beautiful cards! Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@paulaaddison546]

These are adorable Kristi! I agree with you that Queen & Co. has made the layouts simple using their foundation dies!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Paula Addison Thank you! I love using Queen & Company products. 💖

[@paulaaddison546]

Kristie Marcotte thanks to you introducing us to Q&Co, I’ve bought almost all of the foundation die cuts and the ATG machine.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Paula Addison Queen & Co’s foundation dies are my most used die sets. I hope they come out with more next year. 🙂

[@luckylinda7777]

Once again I’ve been inspired. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lucky Linda Aw, thank you! 😊

[@reneekennedy38]

I love the videos that you narrate.

[@lisgreen5675]

Her voice is very easy to listen to for almost an hour. And she doesn't stumble on her words like our tv news people.

[@carmenchiapa2323]

Hi Kiristie your cards came out so cute and pretty. I hope your well and doing wonderful. Your friend Carmen

[@maryschamberger26]

Enjoyed watching you making your cards. Very nice!

[@DiamondsandDobermans]

Oh Kristie! How adorable!! My brain is exploding with inspiration! I think I may have to sleep on the steps of the post office tonight because my kit is supposed to arrive tomorrow 😀😀😀😀. I cannot wait!! Thank you for doing the complete voice over. You have no idea how helpful that is though I understand why you sometimes don’t do it. Love you so much!! ❤️

[@KristieMarcotte]

Cathy Krebs Aw, you are so sweet. I hope you have had time to play with this adorable kit. 😊 With Queen & Company’s shaker kits, I find this video format a bit easier since I’m spending so much time die cutting and assembling shaker cards.

[@lorrainebarnes97]

Such a great card kit. I ❤️ the elf card ( you are so clever) and the bell/Joy to the World card. X

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lorraine Barnes I just love this kit! The elf card was so fun to make. 😊

[@lisgreen5675]

This video was so awesome!! I loved watching you assemble the cards. I have lots of Queen products but still haven't tried them. The videos help me feel like I can do this. The cards are SO PRETTY!!! I love the gingerbread house, wreath, and elf cards. But they're all so fun. I have to buy this complete set now!

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Kristie, Love all the cards made, you all ways do such a beautiful job on them, I also love this format that you do, you see one card made then you show the other, this must be much easier then the others you do!!, TFS, Cheers Anna.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Anna Kluytmans Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I find it easier to record making cards this way. But the editing takes me way longer. I’m very slow at doing full voiceovers. I do like to mix it up though since some people prefer this video style. 🙂

[@joymoss1898]

These are all adorable!

[@carolstubbs5684]

I love your cards as well as the voice overs. Thank you so much for sharing your cards!

[@ellaconner9452]

Very pretty cards! I love the elf❤️❤️. And the wreath is pretty too. TFS

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Your cards are just sooo stinking cute 😍 I love your set of cards. I can't pick a favourite for they are all my favourites ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs have a wonderful weekend

[@ellaconner9452]

Omg I also love the shaker gingerbread card too 😉

[@julierogers3256]

Really enjoyed watching these beautiful cards come together! Such pretty papers and adorable shakers. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@berniejohnston6670]

Kristie great job you are so talented loved the Elf.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Bernie Johnston Aw, thank you! I loved creating the little elf. 😊

[@jenny154]

Beautiful cards love them! You gave me so much inspiration to make more christmas cards and the sketches looks like a lot of fun to use.

[@jwaam]

The elf is adorable and so clever. Love it. Thank you for sharing.

[@valsfaves787]

So festive!

[@tammyspruce8213]

always love your card videos Kirstie!

[@carolleewashington2920]

I love all the wreath cards. The white wreath is my favorite. These were suck cute cards.

[@robinhowe23]

Love all your cards. You are so creative.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Robin Howe Thank you! 😊

[@helenwhitehead6228]

Kristie you have done it again, beautiful cards thank you for sharing. I have just ordered the kit. I find when making my cards now I pay more attention to the amount of tape, glue and mounting tape I put on, I find myself thinking "Kristie would put on more and also that will sag if you don't put something under it" Great suggestions.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Helen Whitehead Aw, Thank you! This kit is so adorable. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😊 Since I donate most of my cards, I want to make sure they don’t fall apart, so I use a lot of adhesive. I’ve watched other crafters and cringe when they use just the smallest drops of adhesive. Years ago, I volunteered for a non-profit organization that collected cards from crafters and mailed them overseas to our service members. I helped open the boxes of cards. There were so many cards that fell apart completely or were missing pieces due to poor adhesive. Very sad.

[@cardprincess7956]

This was SO fun to watch! Of course, I had to pause the video and order the kit! The outline dies were sold out, so I’m hoping I can use my scan n cut to make the backgrounds. I also followed your suggestion to get the matching paper pack; otherwise I’d spend all my crafting time trying to match. Thanks Kristie - I enjoyed the video!

[@KristieMarcotte]

CardPrincess Thank you! Glad you were able to get a kit. Looks like it’s sold out currently. They will be restocking everything at some point though. Happy crafting! 😊

[@beverlystotz5652]

Love them all!! My fave is the wreath. What a happy surprise to start Friyay like I started Monday!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beverly Stotz Thank you! It’s an adorable kit. I may be spending a bit of time with you Monday morning. Just depends on if I can finish a few more cards tomorrow and edit a video. 😊

[@irisestherlopez9430]

Great video. I love the elf. So creative.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Iris Esther López Thank you! The elf was so fun to make. 😊

[@lauramurphy438]

Hello Kristie, Lovely cards. My favorite cards are the ones with the gingerbread houses. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day!

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Everyone of these cards are wonderful. Thank you for sharing. 🤗😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

cynthia tuczynski Aw, Thank you! 😊

[@valkrush6777]

Amazingly beautiful cards! Had to make several orders today!! HoHoHo

[@janets132003]

Great cards as always.

[@sheilaperl4155]

Fabulous cards and video!

[@odettegilbert8220]

Extraordinaire, merci, merci, merci!😘

[@KristieMarcotte]

odette gilbert Thank you! 🥰

[@heatherglenn1487]

so many adorable cards. I've been on the fence with this kit, but you always show how much potential they have when I'm not sure. Turning the reindeer into an elf is beyond brilliant. If I end up getting this kit I'm totally stealing that idea.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Heather G Aw, thanks! I highly recommend this kit. It is adorable. I was so excited when I figured out how to make an elf out of the reindeer head. So fun! 😊

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

I’m so amazing at all the cards you have done this is just great for someone like myself. i didn’t no that these kits was around you keep coming up with great ideas with the colors you put these together.

[@ellenmancuso2489]

As always, very nice!

[@trehs98]

Love all your cards, very beautiful! Tfs

[@mommytomario]

Amazing video as always..hugs Deb

[@rosieallbon5950]

I reckon one of those loony blings - in red of course - would make a great Rudolph nose! 🤗 I really couldn’t pick a favourite this time... but I did really like the wreaths, and the shaker reindeer. The elf is really sweet and good on you for thinking it up! The smaller reindeer at the end would be a lady reindeer (doe) of course.....😜 Thank you for sharing. Top job! Your down under friend where it’s too hot for snow 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosie Allbon I think you are right about using some of the bling for Rudolph’s nose. Queen & Company sure has a huge variety of fun bling. 💖 This kit so adorable. I loved assembling all the cute shakers. Hot is never fun. No matter what time of year. I’ll try to send you some cooler weather. 😄

[@blondecardsncrafts]

Great cards Kirstie 😍😁 tfs

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

These are all adorable cards!! Just got my kit. tfs

[@roxannetucker5813]

I absolutely love, love this group of cards! My favorites are the wreath and the Gingerbread house. The octagon card with the green Elf, at first I thought you were making it into a Grinch card the way you cut cut the ears ;I thought it was the eyes for the Grinch. Great cards Kristie!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Roxanne Tucker Thank you! This kit is so adorable! Lol! No Grinch, just a sweet elf. 😊

[@shermullet6765]

I just KNEW you would make some beautiful cards with that kit.

[@mrs.9315]

Yay! I've been waiting to see what you do with this pack.

[@scrapplancreatewithtracey9714]

[@sarashazmina2396]

Cutest cards i’ve ever seen ❤️

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sara Shazmina Aw, Thank you! 😊

[@lauriemyers3]

I just ordered a kit! I wanted to make sure I got one before they sell out. I want to go back and order the foundation dies!! 😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

Laurie Myers Yay! Glad you got a kit. Everything is selling out fast. I highly recommend the foundation dies. I love all the sets and use them all the time. 😊

[@chelseylacey6156]

Does a kit include the card patterns?

[@jodyknapp5374]

Hi Kristie! I love this format seeing how you do one card. I really loved the gingerbread house card but had a question on how you reversed the die to get the candy canes facing two different ways. I have a few dies I would like to try this with. Thank you for sharing!

[@dhocke31]

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I have one question. Please why do you put a small stripe of paper in The inside of your Cards? Have a Bling Bling day. Greetings from Germany

[@KristieMarcotte]

dhocke31 Thank you! 🙂 The strip inside the card is simply for a little extra decoration. It’s also a perfect way to use up the last scraps of the paper pad.

[@Bindersandcash19]

Love these cards you are very talented don’t think you can get this kit in the uk x

[@KristieMarcotte]

Elaine Brickwood Thank you! Queen & Company does ship internationally. 🙂

[@creativecards4u]

Those are so sweet 😍💕 Thank you for the great ideas. Do you have any kids cards?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Mary Lou Rosado Thank you! I always enjoy using Queen & Company products. 😊 I think most of my cards work perfectly for most ages.

[@joshoemaker64]

QUESTION: For the shapes that have die cuts, if you have thin foam, can you use the die cuts to make your own shaker frames and acetate cut-outs?

[@KristieMarcotte]

JOANNA SHOEMAKER Yes, you can cut your own frames out of foam with the dies in the kit. But you would need to double the foam so it’s thick enough for the shaker toppings. You would need the outline dies to cut the acetate pieces. 🙂

[@SusieScrapper]

I’m currently ‘trying’ to make the reindeer card. I’ve got all the parts die cut and am ready to put it together. The first thing you do is add the foam outline to the dark reindeer head. How do you cut it out so that it doesn’t separate? I can’t figure it out. Lol

[@KristieMarcotte]

Susie Gerdes I used the coordinating outline dies for the reindeer head. They are not included with the kit, but I absolutely love them since they are perfect for cutting out the background to the shakers. You can also cut more acetate with them. 🙂

[@TexasBunnee]

As always, adorable cards!!! I do have a question...do you print out the card sketches? If so, how do you store them?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Laurie Balderas Thank you! 😊 I do print out all the card sketches I use. I store them in an expandable file folder, separated by sketch site and in chronological order. Nothing fancy, but it works for me. 💖

[@tracylee9640]

Maybe a silly question -- but you have a very long list of links (which I LOVE, by the way!) -- I am wondering -- did you use items from every single link? Just thinking this may be too spendy for me in the long run, even buying a little at a time. Thanks for any info. I love, love all these cards!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Tracy Lee Hello! It’s not a silly question at all. Yes, I did use an item from every link provided. Now, that doesn’t mean you need to purchase everything I used. You can easily substitute bling, twine, dies, etc that you already own. Also, many of the links are for the main tools I use. And I also provide multiple sources for many of the supplies. The North Pole Kit comes with almost everything you need to make cards. Obviously you’ll need cardbases and adhesives, but everything else is optional. I hope that helps. I appreciate your kindness! 😊

[@tracylee9640]

@@KristieMarcotte Thank you -- this helps a lot!

[@rosieallbon5950]

Kristie, do you know if the toppings, especially the square cubed shaped ones, scratch off the foil in the bell shakers or scratch the metallic cardstock in the bell shakers? Just curious... 🤔 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosie Allbon Hmmm... I didn’t notice any scratches on the cards with foil or specialty paper. I also didn’t have the cards very long since I gave away all my Christmas cards. I think the specialty paper would be fine. But maybe not the foil. I have accidentally scratched the foil before. 🙁

[@rosieallbon5950]

Kristie Marcotte thanks for that Kristie. I was curious! 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺
