Carta Bella Christmas - 35 cards from one 6x6 paper pad

[@Mary-el3pi]

I keep going through your old videos and continue to be amazed! I never would have put some of these papers together, but you just make it work! Great ideas.

[@theresahamner1580]

I really can't pick a favorite! I love them all and I'm truly amazed at the few left-over pieces.

[@anne-mariestevenson3296]

My fav cards are the paper pieced ones at the end particularly the one with the black "frame" and the green on green. My fav bit of the video is when you show the tiny scraps at the end! TFS

[@KristieMarcotte]

Anne-Marie Stevenson Thank you! So many people love my scrap cards at the end. My daughter really enjoys getting those tiny scraps. She makes good use of them. 😊

[@ingrid2543]

I purchased the 12 x 12 pack of this paper, I always watch your videos, great ideas for this Cardstock

[@lindas.9313]

Sketch Saturday #456 was my favorite card. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Linda S. Thank you! 😊

[@sharonpimento3257]

I have just made cards from scraps for my son ... u r my hero ; )

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sharon Pimento Yay for using up those last scraps! 😊

[@beverlystotz5652]

Some day I will break out a paper pad and do this! I'm always mesmerized!! I really liked the cards using the collage die at the end.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beverly Stotz Thank you! The collage cover up die from MFT is always fun to use. 😊

[@beverlystotz5652]

I just took advantage of the 25% off sale and bought the landscape die. Woohoo!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beverly Stotz Awesome! It’s such a fun die. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😊

[@SharonPerehudoff60]

Always admire your beautiful cards, Kristie! Thank you so very much for taking the time in sharing your wonderful creations.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sharon Perehudoff Aw, Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@judiththompson3120]

Hello again, I am watching this video again and wanted to tell you how brilliant you are by using the remainder of the die cut sheet to use in the misty for stamping The sentiments. Just brilliant.

[@KristieMarcotte]

judith thompson Thank you! I find it easier to hold the die cut in place while stamping. 😊

[@ThorneyRose]

Beautiful cards Kristie. 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosanne Allbon Thank you! 😊

[@carlottaford3455]

Another fabulous video. I don’t have this paper pad, but with your inspiration and sharing the sketches with measurements, I’ve been able to create beautiful cards with what I have. Thanks to you, card making has become one of my favorite crafts.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Carlotta Ford Thank you! I’m so glad you have been enjoying using the card sketches with other paper pads. You definitely don’t need to use the exact ones I use. Happy crafting! 😊

[@valsfaves787]

Great sketch choices for this festive paper. They all look beautiful!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Val's Faves Thank you! This was a fun paper collection to use. 😊

[@GerriannCreates]

Love the cards with your second sketch choice.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Gerriann Armstrong Thank you! 😊

[@joycetaylor3036]

Always enjoy your videos! Hard to pick a favorite one as I like them all

[@KristieMarcotte]

joyce taylor Thank you so much! 😊

[@RhondaMiller]

Wonderful inspiration for getting some Christmas cards done. I love all the cards. I think my favorites are the MFT #163 and Freshly Made #34.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rhonda Miller Thank you! This paper collection is just beautiful. 😊

[@heatherupton820]

TFS Kristie, as always, inspiring. Absolutely LOVE MFT Sketch 163 cards - another to add to my ever growing stash of sketches.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Heather Upton Thank you for watching! I’m glad I could share another fun card sketch with you. I try to find new ones to use to add to my own growing sketch collection. 😊

[@servane-my6lj]

Oh Kristie you made so beautiful christmas cards, I love all of them and the paper is beautiful too. Bises de Christine

[@KristieMarcotte]

servane 1966 Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. This is such a lovely paper collection. 😊

[@annwoods5668]

I love your process!! You make changing the tape in your ATG gun look so easy...it isn't!! LOL

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ann Woods Thank you! I’ve changed the ATG tape probably at least 1000 times by now. So I’ve had a lot of practice. 😊

[@donnaward6158]

WOW! What inspiration I've gotten from you! Thank you!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Donna Ward Aw, thanks! I’m glad I can provide some inspiration for you. 😊

[@denisekersey8120]

[@carmenchiapa2323]

Beautiful cards anyone would be happy to receive them.

I LOVE the last die you used💖

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ella Conner The collage cover die from MFT is one of my favorites. 😊

[@joethridge7999]

I'm new to cardmaking and I have to say, until now I never understood the purpose of double sided cardstock, no matter the size. Now I get it. Your videos putting these together to make beautiful cards are a joy to watch. Thank you.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jo Ethridge Thank you and welcome to the wonderful world of card making. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

sew nut1 Thank you! I love using MFT’s collage die with the last of the paper scraps. 😊

Jamie Jo Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and support. 😊

[@bethhansen821]

Yay! Christmas cards by Kristie! Each and every one of these is great and I know who ever gets them will proudly display it in a place of honor. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. I appreciate it when you include when you change your mind - I do also. Once again, thanks for your awesomeness!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beth Hansen Thank you! I always appreciate your kindness and support. There are some videos where I seem to be quite indecisive. Lol! 🙂

[@squislesquisle6551]

Beautiful cards as always. I was thinking it would be great if you could do a video showing us your favourite dies for card making.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Squisle Squisle Thank you! Hmmm, my favorite dies. I have quite a few favorites. Especially cover dies. 😊

[@debbierenwick1980]

I am always amazed at how you use up almost every inch of the paper pack! Am going on a scrapbook retreat this weekend and am using this video as my inspiration to see just how many cards I can get done with no waste. Prepping starts today!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debbie Renwick Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊 I hope you have a great time at the retreat. Happy crafting! 😃

[@joanlarock1350]

My favorite are the ones with the woodgrain background. And as usual your work is wonderful! I now enjoy doing the paper piecing ones like I've seen you do, and in this video had the little squares. Of course, I like to sew quilts as well, and I think it reminds me of that. Thank you, very much, for your sharing!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Joan LaRock Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I love finding ways to use up the last of the paper scraps. The cover up dies are always fun. 😊

[@toneisha1985]

Beautiful cards! I don't think I've ever commented before but I enjoy watching your process!! So much inspiration!!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

toneisha1985 Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and support. 😊

[@roxannetucker5813]

I absolutely love your Christmas collection! I love to make holiday cards more than any others I make. I really liked all your designs, but can't see any that I love more than the others!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Roxanne Tucker Thank you! I really enjoyed using this paper collection. Fall cards are my favorite to make, but Christmas cards are fun as well. 😊

[@janets132003]

Once again, stellar! My favorites are always the last ones you do. I love the quilt look. Thanks, again, Kristie, love your cards and videos.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Janet S Thank you! My final scrap cards tend to be popular. 😊

[@brendaclark2703]

Absolutely beautiful

[@GenevieveCreatedOnALark]

[@Ktbasket]

It's always like magic! Love watching you create!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Cathy Barwick Aw, thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@butterfly_74]

They are all beautiful, hard to pick which is my favorite. I am with Loly, I don't have this paper pad, but have a lot in my hoarded collection. TFS.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lisa Neil Thank you! It always feels great to use up some of the older craft supplies. Then, you can buy some of the newer releases. 😊

[@gillianwalker4766]

Such pretty cards! I do like watching even though it's sped up. You can still see how you put these together. The Pretty coordinating papers are definitely key! I have a ton of Christmas papers so I will choose coordinating pads and work on selecting some card sketches and get to work!! Thanks for sharing how you create! It is fun to watch!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Gillian Walker Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. It’ll be time to start making Christmas cards again soon. 😊

[@dmurfval702]

Love all of them! Beautiful cards with beautiful paper. I'm always happy when it pops up you have a new video. Was nice listening to Christmas music while watching. Thanks Kristie.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Donna Vallee Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and support. 😊

[@yteldee]

Fabulous cards!

[@halomom1]

Thanks! It's so nice to wind down at night with one of your videos! I love the patchwork cover die you used at the end. The card with all the same tree pattern paper was so cute! 😁

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lisa Shireman Thank you! I really enjoyed using this paper collection. 😊

[@gloriascraps2]

It’s never too early to start making Christmas cards! Love this collection and the cards you made. My favorite card is the Noel card with the poinsettia 💕. Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Gloria

[@KristieMarcotte]

gloriascraps2 Thank you! That’s one of my favorite cards, as well. 😊

[@terrie1226]

Well done as always, it's always a pleasure watching you do cards with the paper pad... To pick a favorite would be hard cause I like them all....thanks for sharing Kristie

[@KristieMarcotte]

Terrie Rodrigue Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@debralico911]

I enjoyed listening to your Christmas music as you design these beautiful cards😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debra Lico Thank you! I actually listened to Christmas music while I was making the cards. 😊

[@bevpisko8247]

As always a lovely set of cards. Would love to see you do a video with masculine themed cards. I also donate a lot and am always asked about making ones for men.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Bev Pisko Thank you! 😊 I’ve actually done several masculine themed videos. Pink & Main’s Be Brave collection and Authentique’s Durable collection are some of them. Check out my video list. I just wish the paper companies would make more masculine paper pads.

[@ellaconner9452]

Love Carta Bella! These cards are so pretty. One of my fav is the Noel with poinsettia .. can’t wait to see your other collections!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ella Conner Thank you! This paper is so lovely. I really enjoyed using it to make cards. 😊

[@teresaodierno979]

I saw this paper pack lately and just love it. You make the most beautiful cards.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Teresa ODierno Thank you! It really is a beautiful paper collection. 😊

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

I really liked the peace on earth using the Freshly Made sketch. I might need to make something based on that sketch. TFS!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Crafting and Relaxing I really like that sketch and will probably be repeating it in future videos. 🙂

[@faithmalta9301]

lovely, elegant cards as always. Thanks for sharing :)

[@sherrysomers9859]

Always wonderful. I really love those gold ones and I also like it when you used the gold for the circles. It seems sparkly, like Christmas 💖

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sherry Somers Thank you! The gold touches just seemed perfect for this paper collection. 😊

[@angelaf5040]

Oh I'm SOO happy to see you did this collection! I thought it was beautiful when I bought it and hoped then you'd lead the way!! LOL! Lovely cards Kristie, it would make anyone's Holiday season a little brighter to get any one of them! God Bless

[@KristieMarcotte]

Angela Fishburn Thank you! It really is a lovely paper collection. I couldn’t resist buying it. 😊

[@karengerek643]

WOW, these colors are exquisite together. As always, they are very lovely; but something about them this time is different. Must be the colors I guess. They are truly beautiful, Kristie. This video couldn't have come at a better time. We had HORRIBLE storms very early this morning and humidity came along for the ride, causing me excrutiating pain, so being able to lose myself in one of your videos (I actually watched it twice) came at such a great time. I feel blessed every time that I get to watch you create. Be well -

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Gerek Thank you! I really enjoyed using this paper collection. 😊 I hope you are feeling better now. I’m glad I could provide some distraction from your pain.

[@dtunjian]

Great cards again Kristie and my favorite was the one with the collage cover up die - I love all the cards you do with that die they are beautiful

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debra Tunjian Thank you! I just love the MFT collage die. You will be seeing more cards from that die in the future. 😊

[@rachelrussell8538]

So beautiful! Watching your videos makes me excited about crafting this weekend. Beautiful job. The cards with the gold are my favorite. That paper pack has a lot of great patterns.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rachel Russell Thank you! It really is a beautiful paper collection. 😊

[@jeannetomshack875]

That's a lovely paper pad and you've made a wonderful collection of cards with it. I like the slightly rustic, comfy feel of the papers and the warm colors. The addition of the gold embossing looks wonderful. It's too hard to pick a favorite.They are all so lovely. I do enjoy the new to me sketches and the looks you achieve with the cover up dies. I always enjoy watching and appreciate your time and dedication to your card collections and tutorials. :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jeanne Tomshack Thank you! It really is a lovely paper collection. I enjoyed the mix of traditional red and green with the hints on wood grain and black. The gold embossing seemed to compliment the cards nicely. 😊

[@denisedornbusch1002]

Beautiful cards.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Denise Dornbusch Thank you! 😊

[@sashabelle728]

[@KristieMarcotte]

Angela Scott Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I always enjoy using the collage die from MFT. 😊

[@sherriehughes8353]

Oh no! Just when I convinced myself I had enough Christmas paper for this year. Now I find I NEED to get this pad. I love, love your videos. The music on this video was great, not the obnoxious christmas music, but nice and soothing. My new favorite card is Mojo 491 and I also loved Saturday Sketch 456. Your stamped images in gold was beautiful. I so enjoy your videos and would like to express my appreciation to you for your hard work in sharing. Thank you, thank you. :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sherrie Hughes Thank you for your continued support and kindness. I really do appreciate it. 😊 Sorry for the enabling, but this paper collection is just beautiful. And just a heads up, I will be doing a few more Christmas card videos for this year. I need a lot of Christmas cards. 🙂

[@sherriehughes8353]

Kristie, I ordered the paper pad from Scrapbook.com as per your posting. The service was the greatest, got it in 3 days. Now the work begins. Thank you so very much for all your ideas and creativity. Looking forward to seeing more ideas. Thank you for the link to Scrapbook.com. I will definitely be using them more often. Happy Fall to you! :)

[@ruthportway5198]

The Kirstie, I like all the ideas but will use them for general cards as these are not ‘Christmasy’ enough for me - we all have our own ways don’t we.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ruth Portway I love how everyone has their own style with crafting. It’d be no fun if we all made the exact same stuff. 🙂

[@mackinacdog]

I love your cards each is so unique and well thought out. tfs. I love that quilt pattern die as I have always loved quilts I have to get it. My favorite is the one you did with half of a circle! But they are all darling. I would very much like to know where you got that quilt-like die. I didn't see it on your list. I looked in the garage in my Christmas storage and found this collection and didn't even remember it until I saw it online again. I had thought I lost it two years ago? I just love it. thanks again

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness. This was a fun set of cards to make. I used a collage die by MFT in this video. I do have a link provided in the description box where you can purchase it. 😊 Yay for finding some crafty goodies you thought you lost. Happy crafting!

[@kristinajohnson1796]

That was so amazing!

[@michiganlighthouse]

Love watching you turn 6x6 pads into cards. All turned out beautifully! Question: after seeing you use the card creator die so often, I purchased one. The frame turned out just right, but how do you cut the little squares from your leftover paper scraps? I'd love to see a dedicated video on how to use these various card creators/background dies start to finish. I can't seem to figure out how to cut the various little pieces from scraps.

[@Taitcreates639]

I don't know how you do it. I am new to card making and your videos on the card packs blow me away. This pack is beyond festive and calm and cheerful too. TYFS. Hugs. PS. How can I get some of these card sketches so I can have them handy?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Bonnie Tait Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I’ve been making cards this way using 6x6 paper pads for many, many years. Lots of practice. 😊 I always share the sketch measurements and links on my coordinating blog post. 🙂

[@thestamphut007]

I love the idea of the 6 x 6 pads and enjoy every video you do! I would really like to know where the gold card stock is from so I can buy a bunch!! It is fabulous! I love all the cards this paper pack is great!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Tina Hamp Thank you! I love using 6x6 paper pads for card making. 😊 I bought the gold cardstock many years ago at my local Ben Franklin. It came in a pack of 25 sheets. Unfortunately, I don’t have the packaging any longer so I can’t tell you what company made it.

[@amandalaplante943]

Getting me in the holiday mood! I liked the green and black patterns in the collage cover up die the most. Thanks for sharing! Do you usually donate cards to local places or thru the mail?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Amanda LaPlante Thank you for watching and for your kind words. 😊 I donate my cards locally to a few different organizations. Retirement homes, a small charity, and a small amount to my church. 🙂

[@frankfende1165]

Where can I find the foil strips you use to trim your cards? I just love this Technique.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Frank Fende Hello! The thin stickers are called Peel Offs and are sold by Love From Lizi. I didn’t actually use any in this video though since I hadn’t joined Love From Lizi’s design team yet. But now I use them all the time since they are amazing!

[@feliadame9250]

Love your cards. Great music and inspiration, I am new at card making so TFS. Where would I be able to find the sketches.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Feli Adame Thank you! Welcome to the wonderful world of card making. I always share the sketches on my coordinating blog post. The link to my blog is in the description box. 😊

[@ashesforbeauty6582]

Great video!!!! Love this paper but I can’t find the coordinating solids anywhere! Yours are perfect. Is there a pack of them or did you choose from your stash?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Shannon Clifford Thank you! I generally purchase individual sheets of cardstock from Joann’s. I look through my stash first. Ifdon’t have what I need, I’ll bring the paper to the store. Then I can really determine what colors I’ll need.

[@debrashaw9130]

[@laurielindsay4562]

Another great video! You are so very inspiring! Do you sell any of your cards? Or are they just for charity and personal use? Thanks so much Kristie!!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Barb Faucher Thank you! 😊 I do not sell my cards. The majority are donated to local organizations. Others are given as gifts. And then, personal use. I enjoy sharing my cards with others. 🙂

[@brendamault9369]

On your last card did you use the Die-namics Collage Cover-Up to cut the carta bella christmas pieces for your card? I am in love with that card as all of them. I going to subscribe to your channel after sending this. Thank you so much...I love your video.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Brenda Mault Thank you! Yes, I used MFT’s collage die for the final cards. It’s one of my favorite cover up dies. Perfect for finishing off the last paper scraps. Thanks for subscribing. I appreciate the support. 😊

[@mik67kel]

I love your cards. Where do you get the sketches from?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Kelly Lewis Thank you! I find the sketches from several online sites. I share all of the sketches on my coordinating blog post. Link is in the description box. 🙂

[@janetdewilde7931]

Beautiful! But I would like to know where I find measurements

[@KristieMarcotte]

On mobile devices, click on the small downward arrow in the right hand corner underneath the video to expand the box. My blog is called The Best Things in Life are Pink. I also have a board on Pinterest with all the sketches. 🙂

[@ruthportway5198]

Great cards - where did you get the fried die to give the quilted look?

[@CraftingWithCarla]

what lb cardstock do you use for your matting? 80?

[@rosemarierohlfs789]

What company cardstock r u using. I love this paper pack but having a problem matching lighter weight cardstock for layers. Stampin up is great paper but my cards r so heavy by the time I am done with layers etc. I am so glad u picked this pack. I think the first sketch is my favorite although this changes with each new card u make. Lol

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosemarie Rohlfs Hello. I use a variety of different brands for cardstock. Most is stuff I’ve had in my room for many years. When I do need to purchase a specific color, I buy cardstock from either Joann’s or Michaels. Bazzill, Coredinations, Recollections. Since I use a heavy weight paper for card bases, my cards can handle the layers just fine. 😊

[@AKgalStamps-Donnamarshall]

I’m assuming your little squares collage is 1in squares?

[@KristieMarcotte]

The squares on the MFT collage die are just slightly over 1 inch.

[@rebeccawilson758]

I loved your video. Could not find your blog. You mentioned giving your cards to a retirement or senior home. Are they given to the residents as a greeting to them, or are they for the residents to give out? Was curious on that if you don't mind me asking.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rebecca Wilson Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I always put my blog link in the description box. eponinekc.blogspot.com/2018/09/carta-bella-christmas-35-cards-from-one.html The cards I give to the retirement homes are greetings passed out to the residents. I write an uplifting message inside each card. 🙂

[@LilCraftyNook]

They’re all gorgeous, of course, but I think my absolute favorites are the one with the cut aparts for the sentiments. (You were wearing the grey and white striped shirt) Couldn’t see the number of the sketch. Around 35:40. Also, it’s hard for me to ascertain your prep time and die cutting time. I see you do that during the video (Prep time is cutting stuff up, IMO). When you give us the time frame of making the cards (“just under 5 hrs”, etc), is that the time you’re leaving out in your calculation? Does this make any sense at all?😜 Thank you!❤️

Nikki Hensley Thank you! This collection includes some lovely cut aparts. 😊 The “just under 5 hours” is everything you see in this video. Just sped up 7 times. My prep time is everything off camera. Choosing coordinating cardstock, selecting card sketches, figuring out measurements for the sketches, die cutting, sometimes coloring images, scoring card bases, etc. There’s a lot more time involved creating these videos than what is shown. 🙂

Do you just use white cardxstock for the card?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Hello! I always use 120 lb white cardstock for my card bases. I buy it in bulk. Then I use different colors for the card fronts.

Hello, I was wondering if there's away to print off your sketches?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Hello. The sketches aren't actually mine, but you are welcome to print them. You can find the sketches on my coordinating blog post. (link is in the description box) 🙂
