Recycling Christmas cards wk29 and a surprise

[@jacquelynmccall9219]

I am a retired teacher and I think what you do is organized in a way to teach your audiences to do what you are showing us. If they think they are too long, maybe they need to stop watching. I think there are people who get joy out of picking apart anyone who is doing something they dont have the nerve or talent to do. You are a pleasure to watch while your creativity show itself. I truly enjoy watching and getting ideas from you. Choosing papers that will go with or not go with is an art and difficult for most. You show the process.

[@dittomarks]

Does anyone else sit here and go "Oooh! Ooooh! Use that one!" when she's picking out background paper and embellishments? LOL! Vicky, I love your recycling card series. I love watching your design process and I feel like I learn so much about color and pattern and texture just by watching you. I hope you didn't change your format for the rest of this series - you're adorable, and so are your cards. I truly appreciate you sharing your time, talent and design decisions with us.

[@kristiepatterson6776]

Vicky - I love your format. At least for my purposes - you are correct. Trying to determine how to use the card is the hardest part. You have really helped me see two and sometimes three cards in one. The half hour is great and I too am glad you don't use music. AND thanks for sharing Jennie's and my card weekend. We were so excited when you responded - it made our weekend all that much better!! To all of you out there - REMEMBER - it is not hoarding if you share!!! My family's motto. :)

[@CraftingVicky]

LOL love the family's motto! that is a great one and one that I will have to remember!!! Thank you for sharing that precious time with me and allowing me to share with the rest of the world!

[@jeanlevesque9474]

Don't change! Love them the way they are. Thanks for sharing.

[@darlenedaugherty3476]

I like your videos just they way they are, please don't change them. You have helped me so much creating my own cards, you're a wonderful teacher.

[@sandynicholls7021]

Really enjoying your thought process of how you put your cards together. Please don’t change. Love the way you layer your cards. Thanks for sharing. Sandy from Australia.

[@krudeacres]

Your videos are perfect the way they are. If I don't have the time to finish a video I leave it up and come back to it when I can. I love that there is no inane music.

[@CraftingVicky]

:) Thank you for letting me know!!!

[@donnakillewald9151]

Having a lot of craft supplies just makes you have more fun.

[@CraftingVicky]

That's what I think as well! Don't think you can have too many supplies lol :) TFW

[@blairmahoney9015]

Hi Vicky. I happen to like the length of your videos. Please don't shorten them. I really enjoy watching you brainstorm while crafting. 😄

[@obeldisk3102]

I love your videos just as they are...not too long at all and I prefer listening to you rather than just music & no talking. I also like that you make your cards from beginning to end. That's how I learn from you. Please keep doing exactly what you are doing. Hugs.

[@charlsiesmith302]

Please just keep doing things your way. Love your videos. I love to watch you find the elements for cards. Thank you

[@donnah7264]

I like it when you go through the process of showing how you chose paper. That is the hardest thing I have when making cards. Keep up the good work!

[@heatherj8520]

Only recently found your channel, but the length is just right. Not too long so you get bored, and not too short leaving you wishing it was longer. Love your cards. You are so inspirational. The video at the end was great, they looked like they really enjoyed their team time crafting. Tfs.

[@CraftingVicky]

So very happy you are enjoying the videos! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!!!! TFW

[@donnagasser158]

Please don't change the way you do your videos. I've watched a couple of others who had music and precut and pre-everything, and they drove me crazy. I didn't learn a thing. I love the way you do your videos. Very education and fun to watch. 30 or even 60 min. isn't too long. When you run out of cards you use stickers, that's even fun to watch.

[@wendymcallister1797]

I love your videos just as they are, you are fabulous 🌹 I like to see your process and how you work each one through. I'm happy there's no music and your vids are a good length. Keep on being you.

[@momkrk49]

I'll be sad when you reach the end of recyling Christmas cards, this makes my day.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

wow - Vicky your cards are beautiful and I enjoyed seeing the photos and video at the end - how inspiring TFS

[@smurfie161]

Love how you do with your videos Vicky , keep on doing it

[@button4631]

I love your current format and I see no reason to change it unless you feel the need to change something for your own reasons.

[@malinandersson8467]

that´s why I enjoy your videos. No music and seeing the process. Love the lenght on the videos too

[@CraftingVicky]

Glad you are enjoying them Malin! I just want to continue making content that people actually enjoy! :)

[@blackitten2]

Your time frames are great and I don't care if there is music or not. I love what you are doing and always enjoy your videos. The girls at the end were so cute and sweet to let you know you were their inspiration. Their cards were lovely as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@CraftingVicky]

I was very lucky that they did share with me and that they were willing for me to share with everyone as well. TFW

[@olliebic1]

Just keep up the good work and keep your current format coming. Your following has grown because of how you craft. Thanks heaps.

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you for the comment! I always want to make sure to do what you guys want (the majority of you) because I want keep as many happy as possible. So it's always good to have the feedback :) TFW

[@karenburks9821]

I "discovered" these videos the first part of December. I had not done any Christmas cards and just the thought of pulling out everything and making some was daunting, to say the least. I am loving these. I love them so much that I am still watching them after Christmas and plan on watching the entire series, probably more than once. I like the length of them very much. When it is someone that I really enjoy, (such as yourself,) the longer, the better, at least for me. I am also going back and catching up on all your videos. A great Christmas present for myself. Thank you for letting us see into your creative process with the picking and choosing of papers, stickers, embellishments, etc. I feel like I am crafting with a friend. Hugs and many, many thanks again for sharing your crafting ideas with us.

[@CraftingVicky]

so glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@lindasmith6256]

I like the 30-40 minute videos. I like to watch the process that you go through to pick out your images and the papers that you use underneath. You are not going to be able to please everyone, so keep up the good work. Keep sharing your ideas and the methods you use to create your cards. If the videos are to long for some, they can always watch half then save it ad return to watch the remainder at a later time.

[@Maggiesplace48]

Another great lot of cards tfs Vicky, Love the end video so cool

[@BarbaraRademacher]

Vicky, I LOVE longer videos, even LONG, videos. Keep it up! Thank you.

[@create557]

Please do not change anything about the way you do your vids, I love them just the way they are, unless you want to make them longer. Lololol. The ladies are adorable hanging out and crafting with friends is awesome! Diana tfs

[@joannedonovan9489]

Love that extra surprise! Great job, ladies!! Glad you got so much done, also!! And thank you for sharing their pictures & videos, Vicky!!

[@lynneb9946]

I like your videos just the way they are. I think it is interesting to see the process of how you pick the papers and embellishments.

[@2learn4ever]

I like your videos just as they are. Half hour is fine with me. The only time I speed up the video is when I come online very late and I'm feeling sleepy but want to see the end before I hit the pillow. I sometimes replay it the next day anyway. I don't need music for your videos at all it would distract me. I like your system of trying different papers and card with the images and it helps me when I use the same system for my cards. Thank you for all your videos, I never miss my Mondays with Vicky!

[@CraftingVicky]

ahhh thank you so much :) Glad you enjoy your Mondays with me!

[@quirkycat2489]

Your video's are great as they are, and so are your cards. 'If it ain't broke, leave it alone'.

[@mcdanielsw]

I like watching you decide what papers to use and how to use them. Even though it makes the video longer I think it’s more interesting.

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you so much for letting me know! I always wonder and hope to make something that is useful! TFW

[@artisticwriter]

LOVE your long videos and I enjoy watching you select paper and images. A lot of other people already choose ahead of time and I like to watch the selection process. If people DON'T like your long videos, they can either stop watching or fast forward. IF you break them up in 15 minute segments they have to watch both anyway. If they have to stop watching, they can just come back and watch where they left off! Also, not having music is not a problem! Please don't change your format! Thanks! :)

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you very much Rosanna for letting me know :) I want to make sure that people enjoy my videos and try to please as many as possible even if I know it won't be possible to make everyone happy.

[@margaretbedwell58]

I was crafting gift tags and book marks right along with your show. I love your channel just the way it is. My table looks just as messy but like you said you can see what is there even if it is just a little scrap...and I have been depleting my little bits. Thanks for all the inspiration I really enjoy your program, and don't fuss at hubby too much, it makes the show real, We are all sitting around crafting, drinking tea (or coffee) and enjoying just being there and sharing. Have a Blessed day.

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Margaret! So glad that you are crafting along side! TFW

[@67crafter56]

I am so glad to read all of these great comments. I have been watching your recycled series for several weeks and I hope you don't change anything about it. I like your style!

[@CraftingVicky]

Support has been AMAZING and I'm so very grateful for everyone of you watching those videos! I hope that you will continue to enjoy them! TFW

[@sharonkenchington4679]

I love the way your lessons go. I need to see the choice part of your video as that is how I learn. Please keep them as they are..

[@LilCraftyNook]

I can get a good amount of layering/dimension without postage going up. I get overwhelmed at times! I just finished Halloween cards for my grandkids, got a few Thanksgiving and Christmas cards made. (When I get tired of making the same thing, I switch!) Your timer idea is pure gold!! Keep it up, I really like your card videos!! TFS!👍🏻

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Nikki! The timer I find is really something that helps me focus :) Otherwise... well it takes me longer and I hesitate a lot more! TFW

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Love your videos just the way they are. I have to laugh because we measure the same way. If I use a ruler I’m always off, no matter how precise I think I am. The best way for me is mark and cut. 👍🏼

[@CraftingVicky]

hee hee hee thank you for telling me! I feel that I'm alone in my way of not going straight with measures :) TFW

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Ladies love your suitcase stash of embellishments. Your station setups were fantastic, can you imagine the maids when they had to come in and clean up all those pieces of paper? Different kind of party 🎉 in here for sure. 👍🏼

[@CraftingVicky]

LOL I hadn't though of the maids... too funny! yeah not the typical party!

[@kristiepatterson6776]

LOL - 👍

[@robinbohn7478]

I love your videos the way they are I wouldn't change a thing!

[@liisabjork76]

I enjoy your videos just The way you make them . I like the awkward silence, the rummaging for paper... Because if you had them already layed out , we would be missing the moments of problem solving which is the lessons I enjoy. Being extremely prepared is unnatural. That is why ivwatchbyoyr videos most because you are organic, and REAL.

[@CraftingVicky]

oh yeah I'm real for sure bloopers and mistake included :) I also like to see others do that I don't feel so bad when I go and do it and it doesn't work out perfectly the 1st time around! TFW

[@janicecostello3641]

Hi Vicki, new sub here. Just found your videos and have been binge watching them. I agree with the others, what I like about your videos, in addition to your creative process is the fact there is no music and you think out loud, almost as if you can hear me!! You have inspired me to try to make cards- I am going to try to make invitations for my daughters upcoming bridal shower., thank you so much and keep the videos coming!

[@CraftingVicky]

oh would love to see them!!! You can share what you make on my FB page so that I can see it. Would love it. Enjoy the process.

[@joannedonovan9489]

I'm with everyone else ... we like your videos the way you've been doing them! (I binge watch them, and probably will more than once, so I will hang in there however long you do!!)

[@patriciastubbs7605]

Love your videos just the way they are. Works for me !

[@sharonhosmer2313]

Love your videos and 30 minutes is not to long. Stay the way you are. Can' t please all the people all the time. Lucky if you please some of the people some of the time.

[@mawmawvee]

That is so neat, hearing from others and seeing how you inspired them in their card-making. So sweet of them to let you know. Thanks for letting us see what they made.

[@kennyc36]

Vicky - I love your videos and, for me, the delay always comes with deciding on what goes with what. I like the 30 min video and timer idea and must do that. I obsessively put scraps back with the pad and that is something that I have to stop as I have scraps everywhere. You have a lovely voice and I like hearing your thought process. You are fab!! Love Shirley (London, UK) xxx

[@CraftingVicky]

oh my... you are very well organized if it's by paper pads! Must be easier to match them with the next card! I can't be bothered lol and so when I post on my blog... well if it's not a new piece of paper I can't for the life of me tell you the brand.... :) glad you enjoy the format of the video! and yes the timer really makes a big difference... you will see on Friday what happens when I don't use a timer! TFW

[@ppacker01]

Great cards! I think for format is just fine the way it is. Skipping ahead is always an option for those who don't want to watch the entire thing. I'm fine with no music. I find the music to be distracting! Love that the ladies shared their weekend with you! I don't think you realize just how many people you inspire and how many things you have made me take a second look and think about using a little differently! Keep making these wonderful videos!! We love you!!

[@CraftingVicky]

ahhhh Peggy thank you so much for those kind words!!!! I was really blessed that they shared their weekend with me! I felt over the moon that I had been part of that special weekend! TFW

[@triciamaloney5737]

Peggy is absolutely correct. I couldn't have said it any better!

[@mayjor11]

Love your videos. Just found your channel.WONDERFUL!!!!!!

[@charlsiesmith302]

Oh no do not change you way of doing videos. They are perfect. Thank you

[@teresachoate2683]

I love all your card and tag recycling. I have been wanting to do cards for awhile now and you have made it look so simple. Thank you and please do more....

[@CraftingVicky]

It really is simple! Sure hope you do give it a try!

[@rivers.stream]

I love your program just as it is! Don't change a thing❤❤thank you for your time and all the beautiful crafts and art you share❤❤

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Marcy for letting me know! TFW

[@frps56]

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@michelleconway8935]

I don't see anything wrong with the lenght of your videos, you have taught me alot, don't change anything

[@Fit_Kitty]

Dear Vicky, I am one who loves your videos, and especially this series - it's my favourite. I hope you don't change anything! I like the length of the videos just as they are - I can watch and craft right along with you, even if I'm just die-cutting, etc. I don't always get the videos watched right away, and I don't always comment, but I eventually get to them and they are always a joy to watch! I don't know why anyone would want music added because I like to hear you talk and tell us about your thought process as you create, and the music would be distracting (for me). Great cards again this week - you are an inspiration to so many, including me! I enjoyed seeing how the two ladies were inspired, as well as the cute cards they made! I will be disappointed when/if this series ends, but when/if the time comes, I will re-watch your old videos in this series. I like to make non-religious holiday cards for charities (seniors in nursing homes, hospitalized children, etc.) so I like to make cards all year long - your video series has been so helpful with the inspiration. Thank you for your videos!!!

[@CraftingVicky]

That is so sweet of you to donate your cards that way! I will have to check around here for things like that! Especially if I continue this series! :) Not that I'm saying that it's going away lol

[@lsr-pdrecipes7775]

Miss Vicky, please don't worry about disgruntled people. They have the choice to move on, or speed up the video. You do an amazing job and just so you know.... I AM going to be doing this with my large stock of cards. I've already started by separating the parts of my cards and putting them in the large zip-lock baggies. I separate the sentiments and put them into another zip-lock baggie. I have so many ideas, now, thanks to YOU!! I enjoy your videos VERY much.... don't change a thing!!!

[@lsr-pdrecipes7775]

By the way.... I've been binge watching your videos for the Christmas cards.. for the last 3 days!! You owe me a new sofa... LOL!!!

[@CraftingVicky]

bwahahahaha thank you for the laugh of the sofa :)

[@CraftingVicky]

So happy that you have been enjoying my videos! Thank you so very much for letting me know. I'm very excited when people say that they are also doing this! TFW

[@lsr-pdrecipes7775]

You are VERY welcome!!

[@kristeendureck8810]

I love your videos just the way they are :). You are so inspiring! I can't wait to get to my cards!! The girls weekend was a hoot! wonderful job, girls!!

[@CraftingVicky]

Yes their weekend get away looked like a lot of fun :) TFW

[@greetjeb7030]

Love your videos, they really inspire me and the length is just fine! And no music please. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Greetje for letting me know! I also don't like having music... it distracts me lol

[@deborahdettor1694]

Love your videos just as they are...they're very inspiring!!!! LOVE the clip at the end😂😊🔆

[@CraftingVicky]

wasn't it super cool ?!? I loved it!!!! I was over the moon that they shared this with me!!! TFW

[@deeuk5520]

Great video as usual. I managed 4 cards today out of 2 from last year. Happy days. Loved the little video at the end. Thanks for sharing. x

[@CraftingVicky]

Great job making 4 out of 2!

[@renateedwards7897]

I like / love the way you have been doing these.

[@barbarahiggings3517]

I love the way u do it don't change a thing have a blessed day

[@gloriaeike4973]

I have no problem with the length of your videos. Enjoyed the short video of Jennie and Kristie's card making video and they made some lovely cards as well.

[@CraftingVicky]

They really rocked their cards! And I was super happy to see that I'm not the only one with LOTS of embellishments! :) TFW

[@kristiepatterson6776]

Thank you - lots of fun on a rainy day!!

[@kennyc36]

Loved The surprise videos - even more brilliant ideas xx

[@CraftingVicky]

It was super special that I was able to share that with all of you! I was over the moon that they would have a crafty weekend like that looked like a lot of fun :) TFW

[@kristiepatterson6776]

Thanks so much - especially the “brilliant” part!😂

[@ellenstrang6957]

Hi VickyJust got back from a scrapbooking event in Michigan with my sister. I have told lots of people about your video. I have tried to find you making cards out of scraps but I only find #5. and I can't find any higher than #29 on this. I hope you have not stopped making videos. Keep scraping!!! Ellen from Wyoming

[@CraftingVicky]

you couldn't find anything higher than 29 because that was where I was with this series :) If you search in the cards playlist that I have you should be able to find all the scrap cards as well :) Thank you so much for telling people about me! That is very sweet of you!

[@janeknapp9133]

Still loving your process!

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Jane! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@lynngregory2336]

I enjoy your videos as they are so carry on.

[@wendyjansen8835]

I like the videos how you make it , dont make this different. I like she how you rhey makes. Thanks for sharing with us! :-)

[@rgilles218]

I think every thing you do is perfect

[@CraftingVicky]

glad you like it! TFW

[@creativetamara1326]

very much enjoy the length of your videos also the content.... thank you

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you Tamara!

[@lindalogue4092]

Love the Kris and Jenny weekend card making idea

[@CraftingVicky]

It was an amazing idea to do a weekend getaway like that! :) So glad they shared with me! TFW

[@imakethings3953]

Love your videos 30 minutes or an hour. Please no music. Just keep on being you.

[@CraftingVicky]

I don't think I could be anyone else lol would be way too much trouble but if there's stuff that I do that bug people I want to make sure to solve that. :) TFW

[@feliciadunson1064]

That was nice of you to share & nice cards, even though this is a late comment

[@barblukacik2724]

You amaze me with the cards you make, I don’t have dyes etc for circles .I use glasses or lids, Yougive me great ideas, I learn so much from you THANK YOU SO MUCH,, How do you figure where you mark for cutting the paper for the background papers etc.?

[@CraftingVicky]

You are so welcome! I like many layers and I want to get to see them all so it's a question of leaving a bit of each one underneath :) Hope that answers the question?

[@MugsyMakes]

I love the videos you do! You do you

[@debbiepohl4165]

Love you videos just the way they are............ please don't change them

[@deborahshort111]

I love your videos and your style. Don't change a thing. You are very creative! I'd like to know what the brand name of the adhesive runner is that you use?

[@CraftingVicky]

I have started using the Tape jungle refills and those are just as good as the name brand and sooo much cheaper! You can find them here: www.tapejungle.com/products/standard-atg-tape-56720.html

[@ceciliagallant4263]

Love your videos. Your an inspiration.

[@jeaniespinks2053]

Love these videos not to long

[@CraftingVicky]

Glad you are enjoying them Jeanie!

[@mariashehan4523]

That is my favorite card......

[@CraftingVicky]

which is your favorite card? :) TFW

[@brendatrimmer4482]

What eraser are you using it? Is it an adhesive eraser or one for your pencil markings? I have not seen anything like that in the USA.

[@CraftingVicky]

The eraser must have been the regular stadler eraser? It's nothing special. I do have some for adhesive but only use them when I really really mess up with my glue gun lol or if I want to use a sticker and raise it up.

[@mcdanielsw]

You mentioned something about the tape you use that’s cheaper. Can you let me know what that is?

[@CraftingVicky]

It's a no name brand that I purchased at Tape jungle. You can find it here www.tapejungle.com/products/standard-atg-tape-56720.html it's a lot cheaper than the name brand and works just as well! I wasn't sure initially but love it and placed another big order with them! TFW

[@mcdanielsw]

I just ordered 12 rolls. Thank you!

[@CraftingVicky]

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!!

[@jacquelynmccall9219]

What is the brand of your tape dispenser and where did you get it?

[@CraftingVicky]

You can find the tape dispenser here in my amazon list of favorites: goo.gl/gJZTrr

[@francesinglis6078]

I found another one that I’ve not seen it’s a bit late but I love your format 😊 x

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you so much 😊

[@MRVICTORCRAFTER]

SO COOL!!!

[@malibukazoo8563]

Your videos are fine the way they are.

[@patriciadee2804]

I like the format the way it is. I enjoy watching you "think", trying different papers and embellishments and your thought process making the decisions. As for the time/length, I will watch the majority of the video regardless. Sometimes I'll go forward just a bit here and there, like after you've decided on your layout and putting it together, jump ahead past all the glue gun part. Also skip ahead when you need to go off camera to find something. As for music, a no-no for me. If I want music I'll put on a music video, not a how-to-craft video. Hopefully I'll get caught up to the 2018 videos. LOL!

[@CraftingVicky]

That's exactly what you need to do for those parts :) Skip ahead! Glad you enjoy the series! And sure hope that you get to 2018 soon lol

[@mariashehan4523]

Can you sell me the scraps.....Christmas paper

[@CraftingVicky]

I'm doing pretty good at using them all now :) I should have thought of selling scraps before! And maybe I should do that for some of the other papers I have. Thanks for the idea!!!

[@pamyclark1263]

I love your thought process. Please do not change anything about your videos. I think the continuity is important and splitting them up would be difficult and distracting.

[@bonniemyers1163]

I like your videos just like they are

[@jeankatzmarek4347]

would'nt the card look better with the trim.

[@CraftingVicky]

quite possibly :) there are so many possibilities with them. And that's what makes it fun

[@susanrascone2098]

I like your videos just the way they are. Especially no music as sometimes it is so loud and distracting that it is hard to hear the person.

[@sandrashauls5840]

Tfs!!!!!

[@sammcgowan76]

Please don't change anything I love your videos just the way are. Your channel is fab. And music playing is just annoying. Tfs sweetie. Crafty hugs sam xxxxxx

[@sheilacarter6471]

the videos are not too long!!

[@margarettamlin8869]

Keep the video as they are don't like music video love your cards

[@sandyroberts8159]

Do your videos the way you want to do them. Too much worrying about everyone else. You do you :-).

[@tina35611]

I enjoy your videos just as they are. Seeing the entire process is interesting. I find music in videos annoying, just my opinion. Thank you for sharing😊

[@CraftingVicky]

Thank you for taking the time to tell me! I really want to make sure that I make videos that people enjoy!

[@TanBraeDesigns]

Hey Vicky! You just keep on as you have been. These videos would not be the same if you made changes.

[@CraftingVicky]

:) Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and letting me know

[@creativetamara1326]

104 thanksgiving cards,,,phew

[@CraftingVicky]

that's a lot of cards! WOW
