Nope, I was pulling for this stamp set. It's just too cute! I'm glad you chose it. I hope you're going somewhere WARM for your vacation!

[@christygetscrafty]

Yay! I’m glad! And yes! We’re heading out of the snow down to the Florida keys. My dad and step mom rented a house and invited us to come down. I can’t wait!☀️

[@HeatherCashArt]

This was so fun!! I was so excited that you picked that stamp set because that was the one I liked too! And also the sentiment, so cute! I can't wait to see the finished result!!

Yay! I’m glad you had the same set in mind! I really appreciate you watching, Heather!❤️

Love the choice of using the Dear Santa stamp set for a Valentine's Day card, Christy! It is always good to see how to stretch our stamps and use them for other holidays....you do that so well! Looking forward to seeing you copic color your images and put this cute card concept together! 💖

[@christygetscrafty]

I appreciate that so much, Marsha! I do love to find new ways to stretch my stamps and it means a lot to know that you enjoy those types of videos! Thank you!💕

[@jennifershaffer7366]

I watched these videos backwards. Seeing the finished product first, it seemed so obvious which you should pick. Thank you most of all as someone who presents new product pull out last year product. Please don’t apologize for this some of us are pulling from 15+ year old stash lol. Please do more ❤

[@christygetscrafty]

Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind!☺️

[@zammymille]

Loved this. I sometimes struggle with how to start. I’m never this organized so fun to see it like this ❤

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad it was helpful to you!☺️

[@cives2008]

I love these process videos. It’s funny though, I was leaning to a different frame and a different card base. I am looking forward to seeing the card video-especially to see your colouring. I always love watching you colour. 😊

[@christygetscrafty]

That’s the great thing about card making, is you could potentially make the same card but change it up to your personal preferences.😊 The finished card video is up now!

[@cecieh]

I really appreciate this kind of video, as I am a new card maker and have no idea how to plan out a card. Thank you so much for sharing your process! I would love regular ones like this.

[@christygetscrafty]

Thank you so much for weighing in! I’m so glad it was helpful to you!😀

[@reallycrazy4paper]

Perfect stamp set. You are fascinating to watch and I want to grow up to be just like you. When I finally get to making my next card I’m going to try planning like you do. Thanks for the insight into your process again. Have a great day. Hugs.

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, you are so sweet, Julie! I hope you’re able to get back to crafting soon! Thanks so much for continuing to watch my videos in the meantime! Big hugs!🤗

[@scrapscrapthat]

I use the edge of a little scrap of cardstock to move my stamps about so they don’t stick to me. I love watching how you think Christy! TFS

[@christygetscrafty]

I love that tip, thanks!☺️

Enjoyed the video…trying to start card making again so these types of videos helps me with my frustration in how to get started

I’m so glad! Welcome back to the card making community!💗

Hi Christy, Thanks for showing us how to make better use of our stamp sets! I'm looking forward to the Copic colouring and seeing your card come together!🥰

[@debbiewaksmonski4100]

Another wonderful card. I love the stamp set you chose. I was hoping you would go with that one. Although, all three of the sets are adorable, and would thoroughly enjoy cards with those as well. I really liked the heart paper, but the way you broke down your reasoning for why you thought the little flowers would work better was extremely helpful, and makes absolute sense. So thank you for that. Even though making videos isn't in the realm of possibilities for me, (filming, editing, posting, etc...) is FAR outside my wheelhouse, I find the help and guidance to make better cards on KZbin. Wonderful creators such as yourself, are a huge benefit, and much appreciated! ❤

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, thank you, Debbie! I’m so happy that you found this video helpful. Stay tuned for the finished card video on Friday!☺️

[@debbiewaksmonski4100]

@@christygetscrafty oh absolutely!!! No doubt about that. I'm on the west coast, so I'm sometimes a couple of hours later. Your videos are a great way to start the day! ❤

[@scrappinggrammychristine7508]

This was so helpful. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@christygetscrafty]

I’m so glad to hear it!😀

[@09mclemens]

Since I rarely create my own card designs, I find these videos very helpful. It allows me to play along while you go through the process with the added benefit of hearing what you consider in finalizing your choices. (The mailbox scene and postage die were my first choice. I'm looking forward to seeing the final project ) These types of videos are also helpful for picking up tips and tricks (like laying out the pieces and taking a picture). I'm glad you like using the grip mat in your Misti. I use mine that way, too, and love not having to mess with the magnets. Have a great week.

[@christygetscrafty]

That’s awesome that you are creating along with me! That just warms my heart so much! I’m glad I picked your first choice of stamp sets!😊

[@mecheledunlap4301]

I thought the stamp set & snow cone card stock, I did like the hearts with the dark background (it should be used for a card this series). & I sometimes cut out the center columns of the die set ❤❤❤ can't wait to see the card!!!

[@christygetscrafty]

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about those patterned paper choices ever since. There were a couple of good ones. I’ll definitely have to save the others for another card!😊

[@janellekrey9121]

Great video! I’m always struggling with all the options I have so it’s nice to hear you walk through your thoughts on how you choose everything. Thanks for sharing!

Love this tutorial, thanks for the super helpful tips! Happy New Year to my favorite card maker & colorer (colorist?!)! 🎉

[@christygetscrafty]

Aw, I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate that! Happy New Year to you too!💖🤗

[@TheLovelyrosepetal]

Hey Christy, I love the stamp set you chose and would have gone with it myself, so I am really excited to see how this turns out! I love this video and find it super helpful. You always make great content and are so inspiring. I am sure that this type of card video will generate a lot of interest. I was thinking about something you could do and I know you haven't made it to your subscriber goal but if you were to make a card and have it as a giveaway you might get more subscribers and you would definitely make one of your viewers really happy. It wouldn't break the bank and I am sure it would bring lots of views and comments. It's just a thought I had while I was watching you show us how you brainstorm. No pressure but could be a fun idea. Anyway, I love your video and am super excited to see it all come together. Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us. I really appreciate all of the time and effort you put into your channel. You are amazing and I am so blessed to have you and your channel in my life. Have a fabulous week. Take care. Lots of love and big crafty hugs!

[@christygetscrafty]

Thank you so much for the idea, Rose! I’ve thought of doing something like that myself, but I think I would need to get a P.O. Box first because I don’t want to use my home as the return address on the envelope. And I’d hate to not include any, just in case it were to be returned. Also, how would I announce the winner? I hate to do a follow up video that is just that. Should I announce on Instagram? I just need to figure out all the details before I implement it. I really appreciate you suggesting it!💖

[@PaperSquirrelsCardDesigns]

It's supper helpful to go through those thoughts with us--for me the planning is the hardest part these days! It's especially helpful that you talk through various possibilities on your way to making each decision.

[@christygetscrafty]

I totally get it! I literally spent about six hours yesterday planning out three cards. Some days the ideas are just harder to come by. I’m so glad you found this one helpful!💗

[@JoJoLS80]

When you get a stamp stuck to you or need to move it use a eraser the don't stink to them

[@christygetscrafty]

Thanks so much for the tip!😊

[@joycebennett2310]

How do you store your pre prepared cards? You have many colors and styles of cards. How do you keep them separate but handy?

[@christygetscrafty]

I have a little clear bin to the right side on my desk where I store extra card bases. If you watch my Craft Room Tour video I show it in that one. I hope that helps!☺️

[@joycebennett2310]

Thank you for your quick response. I will look for your tour.

[@carakistler8315]

How often does hello bluebird restock. Looking for blooming happy specifically…. Thanks in advance

[@christygetscrafty]

It all depends on the manufacturer. Right now I know they are shut down, so it could be a little while, unfortunately.
