Pink & Main Beach Bum - 51 cards from one 6x6 paper pad

[@jo-annrattray1531]

I love your cards as you pay so much attention to making sure they have just the right amount of embellishments to make them so special to your nursing home friends

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jo-Ann Rattray Thank you! I appreciate your kindness! 😊

[@susancstufft2530]

I always enjoy watching the cards appear from the stacks of paper pieces. Thanks.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Susan C Stufft Thank you! I appreciate your kindness and support. 😊

[@kathiezimmerman2284]

thank you so much! I have been so busy getting ready for our 450+ vacation Bible school that I haven't had time to craft, this is almost like it! thanks so much for sharing your wonderful ideas.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Kathie Zimmerman Thank you for your kind words. 😊 Sounds like you are going to be busy for awhile. Once my kiddos are out of school for the summer, I won’t have as much crafty time.

[@cnctexas]

Thank you Kristie for this wonderful recording. Always a highlight to my day warching.

[@KristieMarcotte]

cnctexas Thank you for watching. I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@sashabelle728]

You outdid yourself this time! 51 cards, wow!! They look great and I'm sure the recipients will love them. Who wouldn't?? Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

[@KristieMarcotte]

sashabelle728 Thank you for your kindness and continued support. I really appreciate it. Yes, I believe 51 cards is the most I’ve ever made from a 24-sheet paper pad. Whew! 😊

[@andreagreen571]

Wow, that was a lot of cards from one 6x6 paper pad. I wish one day I will be able to layer and create beautiful cards as you do and have less waste. I loved watching you create each set of cards from the beginning. Then when you used the scraps on the last cards I was simply amazed. You should create classes to teach others. Beginner, intermediate and advanced card creators. I would be the first enrollee. Thank you for sharing.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Andrea Green Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I’ve had many requests to create classes. Perhaps someday. It would take a lot of thought and planning. 🙂

[@andreagreen571]

Question...what pound paper do you use for the base and the matting?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Andrea Green My card bases are 100# cardstock. The paper I used for the layers varies since I use several different brands.

[@KathysScraps]

I love your music you used for This! I also enjoy watching you create all these cards and so does my 91 yr old mom-in-love!

[@Pamslife]

I love watching your video's and then i go to your blog and see the sketches .. Thank you for always including that ..

[@KristieMarcotte]

Pam's Life Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I’m always happy to share the sketches with fellow crafters. 😊

[@samrcat4077]

Have seen many people create cards from a paper pack, but yours has a bit more. The cards are well planned & executed, yet they aren't plain. Each has little extras that dress them. The music was peaceful. Your video was a pleasure to watch and I'm sure recipients will love the cards. I subscribed so I can see more.

[@KristieMarcotte]

[@lequitahicks9076]

I have been watching your cardmaking videos for a couple days now. I just have to say, you are a Card Making Bhadie! 🥰 I have several sketches saved but when I work them they dont look right lol. Watching how you coordinate the papers and mix the stamps and die cuts blows me away. Thank you so much for sharing your tutorials with us. You are truly an inspiration to anyone wanting to become a cardmaker.

I can not say which I Iike the most, I like them all. How you matched the colors and the busy design of the designerpaper, stunning. I often fight when I try to matched different designs.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Hanne xo Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. Including solid cardstock really helps balance all the busy patterns. 😊

[@estellebusby5369]

[@ababaigalit]

I loved how your nails matched with the dark navy of your nails.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Avigail Raphael Thank you! It’s fun matching my nails with the paper pad. 😊

[@valsfaves787]

I had to watch this in a couple of seatings but it was so worth it! The use of more solid cardstock with the busy paper patterns resulted in clean and simple cards perfect for anyone. Great job, as always👍

[@KristieMarcotte]

Val's Faves Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos. Hopefully my next one won’t be quite as long. 😊

[@carmenchiapa2323]

I was stunned by how you made patriotic cards out of mixed pattern paper. May God bless you for making so many people happy. Your cards came out beautiful.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Carmen Chiapa Thank you! Even with the touch of tan color and the name Beach Bum, the paper pad just looked very patriotic to me. And since I need patriotic cards, it really was perfect. 😊

[@valsfaves787]

Any length of video is fine with me...I look forward to them and am very adaptable with my viewing schedule💕

[@KristieMarcotte]

[@dww786]

Thank you for this, Kristie. After a week of so many sad news stories, seeing somebody calmly & efficiently go about sharing kindness with strangers is uplifting, and it's appreciated, soothing, and more needed than you may know. :o)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Super! Enjoyed watching you create! The music is beautiful!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debbie Baez Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@ThorneyRose]

💖💕❤️! Wow! You’ve excelled yourself Kristi! And such beautiful cards. I love the streamlined neatness in the way you work, and how ordered your desk is. I also noticed in the video you did with Penny how she has already learned the value of putting a tool away as soon as she’d finished with it, even if it was needed again soon! You are an inspiration to me, and I’m sure a lot more besides. God bless you Kristi! 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺

[@KristieMarcotte]

Rosanne Allbon Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I try to keep the visible part of my desk clean while recording videos. Especially since I don’t have a lot of space showing all of the paper pad. Now, outside of camera view, it does get a bit messy. 🙂

[@Sjohnston1928]

Beautiful cards! I find masculine cards difficult probably because I only had girls. Your video has given me ideas for using sketches, layering, and patterned paper to help add texture, color, and pizazz to my masculine and gender neutral cards. I love the idea of making and donating cards, especially to our wonderful veterans! Thank you a great video and tons of inspiration.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Sandra Johnston Thank you! I’m so happy I can provide some inspiration for you. 😊 Masculine cards can definitely be challenging. Especially since most paper collections are more feminine.

[@ellaconner9452]

Very nice cards! I really like the extra touches that you add to the cards that aren’t on the sketches. Thanks for sharing!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Ella Conner Thank you! I appreciate your kindness! 😊

[@jeannetomshack875]

Fantastic work, Kristie! Really enjoyed the sketches and the music. It's always so inspiring to watch you work. Makes me want to get into my crafty space and get busy. Thank you so much for all the time and effort both you and your husband put into creating your wonderful videos. :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Jeanne Tomshack Thanks for always being so kind and supportive. I truly appreciate it. My husband was surprised when he saw my video was an hour long. But he did a great job finding enough music for it. I hope you get lots of crafty time today. 💕

[@bethhansen821]

This was amazing! A new record for number of cards made (I think). I wasn't expecting the patriotic papers with a "beach" title... that's fine. You are so generous - I know the people at the retirement home look forward to getting your special cards. Thank you for the uplifting cards that were a wonderful change from the news. Can't wait for your next batch of amazing.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Beth Hansen Thank you! Yes, I believe this was the most cards I’ve made from a 24-sheet 6x6 paper pad. It actually felt like the paper was never going to run out. Lol! Even though the collection is called Beach Bum, I could only picture patriotic cards. But that’s okay since I’m going to need at least 90 cards for the retirement home. I’m over halfway there. 😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

my life Lol! Yes, I usually use about 2 rolls of tape per 6x6 paper pad. But with so many cards, I definitely needed that 3rd roll. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@nancyfleming4422]

This video was memorizing, so many cards from one paper pack! Also, they are great cards too.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Nancy Fleming Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. 😊

[@aliceadler4569]

Kristie, have you ever thought about doing a live stream and showing other crafters how you accomplish this??? I am sure we all have extra supplies that we would love to turn into cards for shut-ins or nursing home patients who deserve recognition but for one reason or another do not get it. I work full time so the only days I can devote a whole 7-8 hours to a project like this is on the weekends. But if I knew what to gather together in terms of solid cardstock & enough tape runner refills, embellishments, etc I would plan for a weekend to do this with you. Just an idea!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@KristieMarcotte]

Alice Adler I really haven’t ever thought about it before. Even though actual recording time is only about 5 - 7 hours, it takes me way longer to complete the paper pad. I stop the video a lot while I figure out what stamp, sketch, embellishments, etc to use next. I never know exactly what supplies I will need. The only supplies I know for sure that I’ll be using are the 6x6 paper pad and cardstock. And of course the usual tools, adhesives, card bases, etc. 🙂

[@christinamorin3651]

Always such great cards Kristie! I look forward to each new video you make :) I really like this paper pad and plan on ordering one. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Christina Morin Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I really enjoyed using the paper collection. And it would be perfect for a variety of card themes. 😊

Excellent designs once again Kristie. I always find your videos inspiring and I truly enjoy watching you create. Wonderful sentiment set, I had to pause the video so that I could just over and order it for my cards next year (already finished the ones for this year; YIPEE). Have a great week. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Gerek Thank you! I always appreciate your kindness and support. Yay for having your cards finished for this year! I’m trying to stay ahead so I’m not scrambling at the last minute to get cards finished. My crafty time is usually limited during the summer when my kids are out of school. Hopefully I’ll still be able to post regular videos though. 🙂

[@e-mae-w7824]

Great cards, enjoyed watching

[@ycwalker52]

Wow Kristie, you amaze me. This is a beautiful set of cards. I never think about mixing patterns like you do. I usually use the papers as backgrounds with other cardstocks and sentiments. How is your piercing mat different than other mats, many of us use to craft on? I always look forward to your videos.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Yvonne Walker Thank you! I’ve always enjoyed mixing patterns. That’s why I enjoy using 6x6’s for cardmaking. The papers usually all coordinate. If the patterns are really busy, I will add solid cardstock to help balance out the cards. The piercing mat I use is just a foam mat from We R Memory Keepers. I don’t like to put holes in the craft mat on my table. 🙂

[@karenkeltner2014]

I just found your channel and subscribed! These cards are amazing! I enjoyed the entire process!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Keltner Thanks for subscribing and for watching my video. I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Weird question, do have to put your left hand down on the cutter to hold it before u lift the blade? The new version I’m using requires that I hold the base down, otherwise whole thing lifts. Seems like cutter arm too tight or base should weigh more. Maybe u just get used to it and always synchronize holding paper on before lifting arm?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Crafting and Relaxing Hello. I had to check because I’ve never really thought about it. I think you do need to apply a little bit of weight with your left hand. But since you’re already holding paper, it’s really not a big deal. If you just switched trimmer styles, it will probably take some time to adjust. Hopefully you’ll soon love your Tonic trimmer. 🙂

[@CraftingandRelaxing]

Kristie Marcotte Ok, I bet you are right about adjusting to a new style. I feel like a paper crafter learning for the first time. 😂

[@monicasanchez-conrad5947]

As always you seem to take a really busy paper pad and make it work! I'm wondering in your thought process when you're putting this all together how do you determine your solid paper sizes? Do you purchase them in single sheets or solid packs or in coordinating packs. Like Recollections at Michaels or coordinations at Joanns has both solid and five paper packs that coordinate well together? And the same for the 12 by 12 paper? If you don't end up using all of your solid paper do you have a stash for that as well?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Monica Sanchez-Conrad Thank you! As far as what size cardstock I use, I don’t really have a preference. I always look through my cardstock stash first. (I have quite a bit) If I don’t have the right colors, I take the paper pad to the store so I can be sure to find the perfect colors. The stores generally carry more 12x12 colors than 8 1/2 x 11. Most of them time I purchase single sheets. But for a few colors, like black or navy blue in this video, I’ll buy the value packs. I only buy the single color value packs. Any unused cardstock gets added to my large paper collection.

[@lynneb9946]

God bless you for sharing your lovely cards. Do put any words on the inside or do you leave them blank?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lynne B Thank you! I always include a handwritten encouraging and uplifting message inside every card I give to the retirement homes. I also donate cards to a small local charity. They request the cards blank inside. 😊

[@papercraftmoon869]

Took me three Times to watch through this xD its so relaxing and the music so calming so i fell asleep twice🙈🤣 love the Cards as always! Cant wait for the next video! Just got a lot of 6x6 pads that i Will try to use for Cards- But every tome i want to start i get a bit scared 🙈

[@KristieMarcotte]

Papercraft Moon My husband used some calmer music for some of the video this time since it’s an hour long. I figured a lot of people would need to watch the video in shifts. 🙂 Don’t be scared to use those paper pads. Just take it one card at a time and have fun. 😊

[@papercraftmoon869]

Kristie Marcotte 😃👍🏻i had a hard time sleeping for some days so it was very good with the music! :D i Will try with one card at the time! Just got some more dies that i saw u have :D so Will be fun to try them! 🌸💗😃

[@KristieMarcotte]

As always, loved watching you work. What do you put on the inside when you are doing cards for rest home guests? Gloria

Amazing!! What are the most care you've ever made from one 6x6 paper pad? Do I need to sit down first before reading your response?! Take it easy, sweet pea. :-D

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Thompson Thank you! I believe 51 is the most cards I’ve ever made using a 24 sheet paper pad. I wasn’t trying to make that many cards, it just happened based on the sketches I chose. 😊

[@terrie1226]

You did it again now with a Patriotic theme.....that is a lot of cards from one 6x6 paper pad. I notice that you have a lot of layers for each card does it make your cards a bit heavier? Thank you again for sharing this technique...

[@KristieMarcotte]

Terrie Rodrigue Thanks for watching my video. I really appreciate it! 😊 I’ve always loved adding layers to my cards. It’s just my style. The extra layers do add some extra weight. Not a lot though. I also use a nice heavy weight paper for my card bases. It makes a huge difference in the overall feel of the cards. 🙂

[@pathobbs1783]

Amazing! How many hours of planning before you film the video....or have you made these cards so many times you could make them in your sleep?😊

[@KristieMarcotte]

Pat Hobbs Thank you! Planning really doesn’t take me very long. I choose a paper pad, coordinating cardstock, get card bases folded, and grab a couple stamp sets. Then I just get started and figure out the rest as I go. It has definitely become very routine for me. 😊

[@beka19743]

Kristie Marcotte most definitely, lol.

[@sophyamary]

And I'm not sure if somebody asked you this already, but how do you keep all your sketches? Do you have them all printed out or do you print them as you're using them?

[@KristieMarcotte]

sophyamary I wish I had an awesome answer for you on how I store the card sketches. Currently, I print them and just keep them in folders by sketch company and in numerical order. I really need to find a better method though since my sketch pile is quite thick.

[@RHG412]

Hi Kristie! I've become addicted to your KZbin videos! I have a question about your nursing home project. Are the cards you make TO the residents or for them to use for others? And if they are TO the residents, what do you write in them? I have been making projects for a local nursing home and am thinking about starting to make them cards too. I need some input! Thanks so much!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Robyn G Aw, Thank you. I’m glad you are enjoying my videos. 😊 The cards I make for the retirement homes are for the residents. I write a message inside each card. I usually provide about 30 cards every month. (The activity coordinator passes out the cards to those he feels needs one.) But for holidays, I make around 90 so every resident will receive one. I keep my messages short, just a few sentences. But I always keep them positive and uplifting and closing with ‘Sending Sunshine and Smiles’.

[@karencassels1266]

Do you have a certain measurements you start with when cutting the 6x6 paper. The camera is going so fast looks like you start off cutting each piece the same way?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Karen Cassels I use card sketches for most my cards. All the sketch measurements are listed on my blog if you are interested. I use several different sketches for each 6x6 paper pad. But I usually cut the background piece first, so the cutting may look similar. 🙂
