Oh no! I loved the guitar Tom! BRING IT BACK! 😊

[@vickiegraham5597]

The music was so relaxing. It was so kind of Tom to play for us.

[@user-ru5fz3ve1u]

It seems that the vast majority of us absolutely LOVE it when Tom spontaneously plays his music in the background. It's soothing and beautiful and the videos are just not the same at all without it. I would most definitely prefer him to play the guitar rather than just be silent. I love experiencing the magic between you two, and I sincerely think that it's a really huge part of what makes all of this so great... so, please don't stop playing the music. It comes through your heart, and so many of us can feel it with ours.

[@carolmcgee5851]

I really enjoyed the music. If someone complained they couldn't concentrate then they are taking card making way too seriously. Card making should be fun and relaxing and anything new we learn along the way is a bonus. Keep on strumming Tom!

[@ruthstandefer1676]

Let them change videos. I think the major portion of the audience loved Tom’s playing music. Why does the minority always win. We want you back Tom.

[@hvluv2ski63]

AGREED...the minority upset So what!!

[@charlotteralls8477]

Tom adds so much to your channel, Gina! We love you both!

[@barbarasmith4600]

Break my heart, I enjoy your music so much! The soothing music lowers my blood pressure enabling me to learn the how too of the card making ! Don’t forget us music and card lovers!

[@ericakelley9564]

Love the music, love the idea of Tom doing a video, and love you stepping outside your comfort zone with the no black background ❤

[@margewilcox7025]

Watching replay. Beautiful card and love Tom playing the guitar!

[@judytracy5231]

I’m amazed that anyone would complain about Tom’s music. Your videos offer so much you can’t please everyone. Tom, I love your music

[@johenderson294]

I love the music….not distracting at all! But I guess you can’t please everyone. It’s relaxing.

[@jennaanguiano3202]

Missed the live but viewing the replay. I wanted to say that I LOVE the music. It's not like Tom is playing the guitar during the entire video...I always craft better with music playing in the background.

[@judyjefferies4593]

Love the card once again Gina. Love all the colors you used. I would definitely watch Tom make a card or two. I REALLY, REALLY miss Toms music. It really added to your videos. Even more relaxing. I am hoping he will bring the music back.

[@pennywilson18]

I love Tom's music. There is always the replay if you lost your focus.

[@krislong511]

Complainers are going to complain. It's your channel and you can do what you want. I love the guitar and the banter between you while crafting. To me, it's part of the magic~ much love and hugs!

[@donnadrazkowski411]

Love the music! I hope it wasn't discontinued due to one to two people. How about a poll who wants it.

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

That’s is sad it was so nice listening to Tom play the guitar. It was very relaxing. .

[@debtaylor4172]

Couldn’t watch live, doing replay. I just read all the comments made before I signed on.I agree with all the post about the music. You need to have it. If it bothers someone they have the option to turn off sound and turn on caption. We don’t have option to turn on music, where the music complainers have an alternative choice if they don’t want to hear it. Blessings to both you and Tom, thank you for sharing your talents ❤

[@debbieklapmeier2505]

GINA & TOM...You can NEVER please all the people ALL the time! MOST of us love your music!!!! There will ALWAYS be SOMEONE who isn't happy about SOMETHING! For those who don't care for the music can mute the sound and put on captions! YOU'RE THE BEST!

[@marshabrickeen591]

I love the guitar too!

[@lindasiegrist1535]

Watching on replay. Please bring back the music. It gives us excellent entertainment during those times Gina is busy cutting, coloring,or whatever (when Gina is not teaching).

[@pattymccargar9019]

I love this card! I really enjoyed the music too! ❤️

[@shevahn8219]

Missed the live, a little early for me in the land of Oz, picked up the replay. Thank you for the tips and tricks and I hope we get to hear Tom play his guitar again real soon. I found it relaxing and calming.

[@LeaMCallaisEndeavoursLLC]

Loved Gina’s explanation on Facebook about her reason to end the music to keep the focus on card making for all viewers. I recommend that if you need music to watch a KZbin card making tutorial, please play it in your home. Have a great crafty day. Lovely stamp and stencil set! Amazing card making techniques! Thanks Gina and Tom, enjoyed this tremendously.

[@dorothyp1473]

Love the music, don’t change a thing! You guys are great together which you don’t see very often in this day and age! Gina, you have a great talent not only in your card making skills but also your personality is so real, you’re not trying to win people over just to make money, you genuinely care about your crafting, your business, your family and your many, many fans. Keep up the great work! Keep on crafting and Tom, keep on playing your guitar!

[@nancyjenkins3411]

Hey Tom, I loved your background guitar music. 😢I’m really going to miss it!

[@pamelaselmer3270]

I love the music Tom …

[@cathyhostuttler7860]

So sorry someone found the music distracting. I personally don't see how, it was in the background not interfering with what Gina was doing. There is always one in the crowd tht has to complain about something😢! What a shame they had to ruin it for others. I really enjoyed it. I miss it! And yes we need more Tom time. Always enjoyable when he joins you and makes a card💕

[@dellacluff6795]

Bummer! I really enjoyed the guitar.

[@kimmcdaniel5708]

I understand not playing the music but I really miss it. It was one of the many reasons I love this channel. I found it to be relaxing.

[@lindaandersen4308]

I LOVED your music, Tom!! Very relaxing! This makes me sad!!😢

[@katlecksell8619]

🤬😡😳I’m with the folks that find the guitar helps with my concentration and focus… please bring it back! It may behove(sp?) you to do a poll to find out the percentages regarding music 🎶 🎼🎵 Please 🙏🏼 bring it back! Although we do LOVE the WOD, music is important. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! Thanks for showing an a2 with gold & lining things up… love the card!

[@janesmith497]

I love the music Tom! Bring it back.

[@bertas-cards]

Tom & Gina, I was sad at first about not hearing Tom play. After reading the post in your Facebook group, I now understand how music or extra sounds are distractions for fellow crafters who have a disorders like this. I thank you now for keeping it about crafting so our friends with this awful disability can keep their happy crafting time with you without having to turn the sound off. I get it as I too am frustrated with craft tools and supplies not being disabled friendly. That is slowly changing to make it easier to craft. Thank you both for being so understanding. 💜

[@reneebanbury7066]

I love both of you & your husband/wife banter as well as the soothing guitar music! Yes, yes, yes for Tom making a card video!!! 👍👍👍

[@debackard7138]

I’d love to see Tom’s card & show us his thought process. It’s always great to see artistic perspectives which often inspires creativity.

[@susanhammitt7080]

Tom should definitely play sometimes. Would love to see Tom stamp with you and also Rina and her boyfriend. THey were a riot!

[@charylhodges470]

I really like this flower design, so pretty.

[@cynthiawaage2245]

Tom 👍🏻

[@cl-wc9kd]

I love that flower design. Beautiful card Gina!! Bring back the guitar!! And let Tom make a card video. I am pretty sure we all make cards with noise in the background--tv, music etc. Bring the guitar back.

[@judyholman7304]

I love Tom’s guitar and MISS it!!

[@carinaarvidsson3650]

Absolutely gorgeous card Gina! Thank you so much for sharing! 💖Love Tom playing the guitar! 💖

[@pamr.5954]

Watched the replay. I love Tom's music! The card is gorgeous! Would love to see Tom do a video! My friends talked me into making cards. I was kind of lost until I found your channel. It started to make sense with your videos, and your cards are stunning. Thankful for both of you!

[@debbiebaldwin5161]

Love everything you do, Gina! And yes, Tom needs to do a card and I definitely miss you playing the guitar!

[@debackard7138]

Love your videos, Gina. Learning new things all the time. I’m a new viewer but voting to keep Tom’s music coming.

[@susanhughes1417]

Another beautiful card! Loved Tom's guitar playing

[@harrietvick1119]

Thank you for mentioning slowly moving your heat tool. I discovered years ago that it works much better than wiggling it!

[@dstrick12]

Love, love the gold! Very elegant! I also enjoy Tom’s music and word of the day! Thank you for all you do! ❤

[@carolwineman9447]

I've probably watched this a dozen times. Trying to get the layout right. Think I finally got it!!

[@paulacasey6111]

Simply beautiful! I love Tom's music in the background. I usually play music while I'm crafting. Also, I must be very happy when crafting because my craft room looks like a tornado went through!

[@karenbyron2813]

Tom, your guitar playing was wonderful xxx

[@melaniebarrett462]

Wow! I just found this video on Pinterest, so now I have more inspiration for my Modern Floral supplies! This card is gorgeous!

[@JeanandKenny]

I am always struck, that when you finish a card, it is so clean and beautiful. I have been making a card a day lately (ok, 3 days in a row to be honest) and when I'm done they look like a truck backed over them. These cards are gorgeous, so fun watching. (I also liked the music if anyone is asking).

[@kimm2274]

Love your live videos and really love Tom’s guitar playing in the background. I look forward to the soothing sounds.

[@user-pq7ge6tc2z]

I want the music! I want the music! I want the music!

[@sidneybaritz6787]

I think Tom would do a great video!❤

[@hbonetti1]

Love your music, Tom! Such a great atmosphere-just fun all around ❤

[@freedomofreligion3248]

I love the guitar, Tom's sense of humor, his & your relationship, all!!

[@cindyking4654]

I really loved the guitar. It’s very relaxing.

[@user-uc7lo9qp2e]

Lynn Le Bel I love this card! Fun to do non traditional to the black! Thank you for the great tips! I forgot about embossing the edges to make it match the rest of the embossing! Thank you for the reminder!! Have a happy weekend!!

[@theresah4846]

I’m really excited to see Tom’s creations!

[@user-rs1el7ni8j]

Sorry to hear music distracted people because I loved hearing Tom play while Gina creates. Love the passion of both.

[@patm2079]

The card is so beautiful thank s 💖

[@candiwelsh5524]

Had to miss the live because of a dentist appointment. Settling in for the replay😊❤️

[@danitaoleary1013]

Very pretty card!

[@comfortcreations2408]

I agree i love the music and it compliments Gina, not distracts!!!!!!

[@julieandrew40]

Great card Gina, I'm sad to hear that there have been complaints about Tom's music, I love to hear it. It's all part of the special teamwork that you guys share with us xx

[@juliecurtis9517]

I love love love all your tips and tricks!

[@donnaricardo2109]

Beautiful 😊

[@sandramagyar9595]

Catching this after the live. So enjoy the videos and I have this set so looking forward to doing these ideas. And like the others, I too like the music. It does not distract me at all. If a person gets distracted just rewind the video. Besides, use women can do multiple things at one time!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Beautiful card. Yes for Tom for a video 👍.

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Watched the replay. I love that stamp, die and stencil. I have to say I’m a little disappointed about the music as it seems so many people are. It just added something nice to the video. I so look forward to your videos, music or not. Thank you for another fun video 😊🤗

[@lindac6200]

Love the card, love Gina’s style and definitely would watch Tom do a video.

[@dianalama1591]

I ordered and received my full bundle but haven’t had time to use it… feel inspired by the steps you took on this video and the tips shared as to what you feel are easier to using this bundle!!! THankYou 🥰

[@jeannewagner8133]

I will add my two cents and say that I loved Tom’s music too. It was soothing and very low, and I am sorry it was distracting to some. I think it was less distracting to most. (If that made sense…) Love this card, Gina. Absolutely beautiful.

[@lynnhildebrand4896]

Love the gold trim

[@suziescrapbook3574]

Home deChore!!! 😂😂😂. Hilarious!! My husband can relate!

[@martamccool2740]

Very nice card. Wonderful!

[@gjohnson850]

I think it’s sad not to have the guitar. It’s always softly in the background and contributes to a relaxing craft time. Hope you bring it back.

[@kimberlyjasinski7019]

I can't wait to get this stamp set!

[@lornawilburn3605]

Love the gold on this card! So sad that some didn’t find Tom’s guitar as soothing as I did 😢

[@maryprovens2593]

I love it, like the change.

[@user-jt7fm8hf8q]

Bring back Tom and his beautiful music!!!!! The minority should not ever win! We love love love Tom!!

[@eijasillanpaa7]

Beautiful card. Thank you ❤

[@honeysuckinaw3500]

I would love to see you guys do a card together ❤️ 💜 was that the question? Or if it was do we want to see Tom do a card,well yes I would love to see that too🎉

[@sharondelrio8791]

The repairman was fixing my oven so I missed the live however I’m viewing the replay 😅😊

[@LynneM-pq4zn]

Beautiful card!

[@brendabreton2954]

such a stunning card

[@reneecassidy7279]

Love this card, need this set and miss Tom’s guitar in the background! If I could play any instrument, I would want it to be guitar! I love to have music on while I am card making!

[@juliecurtis9517]

I would love to see Tom do a video 👍👍👍

[@judyh7640]

BRING BACK THE GUITAR!!! Tom, you’re the bomb! It’s your channel, guys. Why should anyone complain how you present your format. Please don’t cave to the few viewers who don’t know how to use the volume and closed caption buttons. I’ll continue to watch either way because your cards are wonderful.

[@jennyk6598]

I agree fully with you!!

[@scrapinthyme5087]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it

[@gomiwhit3641]

I also love Tom's music--the complainers always win-what a shame-both of you are Great. mary whitton

[@gloriametcalf538]

Thanks so much for such a beautiful card and tips along the way. Tom, I miss your music, but do understand why you discontinued it. When I join in the chat, I don't chat much as I give all my undivided attention to Gina as I can't do both in my old age. So no hard feelings either way. I love your word/phrase of the day, Tom plus Gina's teachings and both make me happy. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU MUCH !!!!!😮

[@DeanieW.-uk4jd]

Great tips for lining up the dies and stencils. I was saddened to hear Tom wasn’t going to play guitar. It is such a soft, beautiful background to Gina’s instructing, that it added to the whole experience. The music was never a distraction, but I suppose there is the rare person that might find anything other than Gina’s instruction too much. Still, don’t punish all of us by having Tom bound and gagged in the dead-space only coming out for the word-of-the-day (my favorite part!)….cut him loose to play now and then….PLEASE!!!!

[@edesigns2g]

Great card, Gina! If Mr. Tom does a video, I would like to request music 😊

[@cynthialong7008]

I really enjoyed the guitar. It was relaxing to listened to it as I craft

[@sarahkendall9883]

Beautiful

[@pattymccargar9019]

I guess I should say I miss the music!

[@sheilarodriguez2556]

How about a tag-team scenario? Tom could make the background foundation and Gina can then add elements to make it into a card. Gina could man the Dead Space while Tom is on deck, and then switch back to normal for the big finish.
