I love the way you take a paper pad and make magic with them.

[@naomishardlow4542]

I love the way you keep the card level with added paper.

[@ChlorJ16]

I TOTALLY agree with all the posted comments. Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas. You are inspiring.

[@susanmckee1469]

Super cute, super cheery...or should I say super cherry. Can't wait to use my Slice of Summer pad. More fun from Jade Blossom.

[@christinee1591]

Thank you for sharing. My favorite is the cards with ladybugs on it :)

[@marshr07]

Such great cards. Love the color combinations and all of the layouts. Really uses up all the paper.

[@camcas727]

I never need these paper pads until I see you make cards and then……🤪🤪🤪

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lol! Sorry about the enabling. 😉😂

[@maryloustasny4612]

Love all your videos and what you do with just one 6x6 paper pad. Great Job!

[@pattyfromherz9965]

love these cards, they are so adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angelaf5040]

Loved this! I really like it better at 5x's instead of 6or 7. I'm also thrilled I.got.an entire hour to chill out, relax,.and get inspired!! Every time I watch your videos I end up back in my retreat making pretties to.share with others, usually no matter how bad I feel that day. So, seriously Kristie, THANK YOU for the inspiration! God bless and Crafty hugs! If there's typos,.it's Kindle's faulty.autocorrect! LOL!

[@carolleewashington2920]

I love the sentiment on the lemon card. These are all great!

[@sueweddell9143]

You are amazing!!! Wow! Thanks so much for this video! ♥️♥️♥️

[@suklinkner8684]

Great video. I like the way you cut extra pcs of cardstock to lift some pcs to the next level.

[@stacycakamams4873]

So cherryful.

[@kimcrane1300]

Enjoyed watching

[@nancydufault6]

I love the tone on tone

[@ScrapbenaCreations]

I was going to say the camper trailer card was my favourite and then you made a pineapple card… and well you know me and pineapples 🍍 LOL! I really loved the lemon cards too! I don’t want summer to end!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thanks Jenn! The pineapple die is so cute, I had to use it. Crazy, but I'm actually allergic to pineapples. 😕

[@tracytracy622]

Love!!! And so good to see you stamping & coloring a bit again! {{{❤❤❤}}}

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! I will occasionally color, but only tiny images since I don't want to strain my eyes.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Loved 🥰 all of your cards. I am happy you are doing better. Yay 😀

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

I chose soo many favorites! My fav papers are the floral with light blue background and the butterflies, but I can’t pick a fav card! 💙💙💙

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you! It's a fabulous collection. So bright and cheerful! 😊💖

[@sue5560]

Again I am amazed at your skill of putting the pattern papers together! You make such beautiful cards! I love the dies you used at the end for your scraps! Thank you for all the time you put into your videos and sharing your gifts and talents! God bless Kristie!

[@jeannetomshack875]

What a lovely collection of cards, Kristie. The papers are so fun and cheerful. Love those butterflies. :) The lemon cards are so sunny, too. Thanks so much for ALL your hard work making these cards and videos. It's much appreciated! :)

[@CallMeCraftyAl]

Imagine my surprise when I came to see how you used the paper pad (I own it too) and spied TWO SheetLoad sketches. :) Love what you did with all of the cards - and that is just amazing you just had those few scraps left over. Thanks for sharing.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! This is such a cheerful collection! And your sketches are always so fun to use. 😊💖

[@suehanson3251]

A wonderful collection of cards,My husband says you are quick Haha I had to explain why xx

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! 😊 Yes, I'm a super fast crafter thanks to video editing. Lol!

[@janets132003]

My favorites are the ones you create yourself without a sketch. I like to watch you pick through options and your choices.

[@ThorneyRose]

A beautiful cheerful collection of cards. I love the “Thankful for you” cards with the gingham, cherries and wood paper on them. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶

[@deboraforrester7873]

Amazing. How creative. Thanks for sharing

[@nancyprobst6311]

I love these full length videos. The paper collection is so adorable and you turned it into an amazing set of cards. Love them all!

[@aliceadler4569]

What a cute collection, Kristie!!! I had my Medicare eye exam on Monday & no signs of glaucoma, thank goodness!!! I have some cataracts but not bad enough for surgery yet, thank goodness!!! I am so glad you brought attention to glaucoma or I would have never thought about it. ♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! Great news about no signs of glaucoma. I think cataracts are just something everyone eventually gets. I've heard the surgery is awesome though. (For when you do need it.) 💗

[@beverlystotz5652]

Fantastic cards! It was fun seeing all the Jaded Blossom products. Plus some new sketches - I can never get enough layout ideas. Thank you, Kristie!

[@ellaconner9452]

Such a fun colorful collection☀️🌸. All the cards are so nice! TFS

[@gojazzkdr]

I have made several mini albums with this paper collection, but you made me excited to make cards with it as well. They are all so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@tammyshaffer8836]

I love these 6x6 videos!! As usual, beautiful cards!!

[@deehauff2587]

Thank you for this video!! Echo Park is one of my favorite papers and I absolutely love it when I get to see how you have used up a paper pad! This paper pad was one of my favorites of this summer! I am always amazed and the wonderful designs you create!

[@roxannetucker5813]

Fantastic areas, Kristie. My two favorite cards are the truck and camper background papers.

[@Rios3021]

Thank you! You’re amazing. I wish I could coordinate the colors and the prints the way you do. Love all the cards,

[@carolmelton9067]

Really cute cards; I love the colors and patterns in this collection.

[@rhondita95]

The cards with the big lemons on them were definitely my favorites, as was the lemon paper. Another great job!

[@Taitcreates639]

You sure are one talented card maker, such fun and bright cards. Tfs

[@JoanOrloffDK]

WOW amazing cards 😻 I love the pattern papers, your card designs and the sentiments ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@leescraps1]

Amazing cards!! Love them all…especially all that Jaded Blossom!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you! I am really enjoying using Jaded Blossom's amazing products. 😊

[@jaditelady173mary4]

Great cards and video as usual Kristie. I hope you will let us know when Love from Lizi does free shipping on her peel offs. That's the only time I can afford to stock up on them. I got this paper in my Echo Park kit and didn't have that many ideas for cards. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@MelanieCravens]

Me too.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 I will always share about any free shipping LFL sales.

[@angelaf5040]

BTW, is that Catherine Pooler ink? It seems to be a one stamp & done ink for sentiments. The color is super vibrant! Love it!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Yes, the colored inks are Catherine Pooler. I love her inks! The black ink is by Honey Bee Stamps.

[@sgdarlin]

thank you for posting this video. What are the little “dots” you add to the cards for some bling? (I’m new to cardmaking) Are they flat stickers? Are they raised up? Thanks! The cards are all so beautiful. I found you through SheetLoad of Cards.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 The little dots are Love From Lizi peel offs. They are flat stickers that come in a variety of shapes. I love them! I do have a link in the description box where you can purchase them.

[@CraftyJP58]

Hi, I just love how you put your cards together. But I was wondering if you could make a tutorial or video on how you do your preparation from the very beginning. I see you use diagrams.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 Last year I did share a video where I talk about how I select card sketches for my videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHbFdZaNe62oaJI

[@clovergirlrita]

I’ve got to subscribe cards our wonder 😉 and what is that holder for your tape gun ?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much for subscribing! The ATG Holster is from Make It By Marko. They have an Etsy shop with lots of great crafty tools. I do have a link in the description box for their shop.

[@jaynieconnor1274]

Kristy could you please give me some tips on how to find a place to donate my cards and gifties

[@KristieMarcotte]

I really recommend just asking around. That's what I did. I donate the majority of my cards locally. Retirement homes, cancer centers, hospitals, churches, schools, small charities. If you are comfortable adding a message inside the cards, that also opens up the door for places accepting your cards. I include messages inside all the cards I take to the cancer centers and retirement homes. Just something uplifting to brighten their day. 😊

[@rjggrosser3965]

What are the pinstripe stickers that you use? Thanks for your video. Inspiring!

[@MelanieCravens]

Those are Love From Lizzie peel-offs.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much! 😊 I used Love From Lizi peel offs. They are amazing! I do have a link in the description box where you can purchase them.

[@judiththompson3120]

hello, I have been wondering how many sheets of cardstock do you buy of each color?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I like to have around 6-8 sheets of cardstock per color. It doesn't always work that way though. I always go through the cardstock in my craft room first.

[@Christine-te4mr]

What's echo park angel policy? If they have any!?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I don't know their angel policy. They probably have it posted on their website. I didn't sell any of these cards, so I didn't need to know their policy.🙂

[@Craftingwithellen]

Who makes those die cuts you used at the very end of your video?

[@KristieMarcotte]

It's from Jaded Blossom. Here's a link for the die shrsl.com/2xrsl

[@suklinkner8684]

Where is one yo get the sheet load sketches?

[@KristieMarcotte]

I have a link on my blog where you can find the SheetLoad of Cards sketches. (Link for my blog is in the description box.) Call Me Crafty Al releases a new one every month.

[@pattyfromherz9965]

how are your eyes doing since your eye surgery, I hope they are doing better.

[@KristieMarcotte]

My eyes are doing very well. Thank you for asking. The surgeries were successful and I'm currently off all my glaucoma medications. (Per my doctor's instructions.)😊

[@pattyfromherz9965]

@@KristieMarcotte That is wonderful news!
