Wonderfully cheerful cards, Kristie. Thanks for sharing. :)

I am just loving your videos. I found your channel the other day and can't stop watching all your wonderful tutorials. I gave up paper crafting for the past few years but want to get back into it now that I am retired. After watching what you do with the 6 x 6 packs and getting so inspired by your videos, I only wish I hadn't sold all the 6 x 6 paper packs I had hoarded throughout the years! But so many new designs out there and this time around I will have to be more mindful of what I purchase! ;) Thank you for sharing your talents and beautiful cards!

[@KristieMarcotte]

A Ito Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m glad I could provide some inspiration for you to start crafting again. If you buy paper like I do, it won’t take you long before you have a huge supply. Lol!

Well this was a happy surprise!! An iced tea date on a hot afternoon!! That lemon paper is adorable. I would love a whole paper pad of that!

[@dmurfval702]

Happy, cheerful cards! Learned a couple of new things from you watching this video.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Donna Murphy-Vallee Thank you so much! 😊

[@TheStacysperry]

You are an amazing card creator! Since I’ve found you I’ve decided that you must have an engineering background since everything has to be level, and that I’m going to go broke because I buy all the paper you use! Two 👍 up

[@KristieMarcotte]

Stacy Sperry Aw, thank you so much! 💖 Not an engineer. Lol! I used to work in the medical field before quitting to stay home with my kids. It’s my crafty OCD that makes me want everything level on my cards. Sorry about the enabling. I have a bit of an obsession with pattern paper. 😂

[@eeejil]

LOL, "I actually own a pink bicycle.." Like THERE'S a shocker!! Even your envelope mailers are pink. I just love you Kriste! 💖

[@KristieMarcotte]

eeejill Pink just makes me happy. 😊💖💗💖

[@myhoneyscrafts127]

The cards are very pretty. Going to try some of these sketches.

[@KristieMarcotte]

My Honey’s Crafts Thank you! I find the sketches online from several websites. I always share the card sketches on my coordinating blog post. Link is in the description box. 🙂

[@myhoneyscrafts127]

Kristie Marcotte Thank you so much for replying. I went to your blog and found everything I needed. Can’t wait to start. Love your videos.

[@DarleneHope]

Loved the tips you shared as you went along. These cards gave me quite a few ideas for using up some of my Proj Life cards. Thanks for sharing your creativity- it helps me to learn from the way you select patterned papers (I struggle to figure out which papers to put together).

[@KristieMarcotte]

DarleneHope Thank you! I have a ton of Project Life cards as well. Especially after switching to the PL app for scrapbooking. I love finding sketches that help incorporate the 3x4” cut aparts or journaling cards. 💖

[@linedaigneault5801]

Beautiful cards !😍

[@KristieMarcotte]

line daigneault Thank you! 😊

[@dww786]

[@janets132003]

I liked the lemon paper but my favorite was the watermelon.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Janet S I really like all of the fruit papers. This is a very cheerful paper collection. 😊

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

Love this pad of paper. You made some really pretty cards and I'm sure the charity will be glad to get them. Do you ever share the charities you donate to so others might send them cards too, or do they have all they need?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Crafting a Planned Life Thank you so much! 😊 I mostly donate my cards to a small local charity. They like to send cards with handwritten messages to donors and those that need an encouraging word. They don’t need a lot of cards and I’ve always been able to keep up with their requests. I appreciate the offer though. Have you seen Scrapbook (dot) com’s Cards for Kindness drive? They are accepting cards from crafters and donating them to a variety or organizations.

[@shawpaperiekas600]

That lemon paper was my favorite too!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Kathryn Shaw The lemon paper is very lovely! 💖

[@sashabelle728]

I really like the patterns in this paper. You made some beautiful cards!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

sashabelle728 Thank you! I knew I needed this collection as soon as I saw it. 😊

[@lauramartin7300]

WHERE do you find the sample layout cards that you use to make the cards? love this video. new to card making, get stuck on how to make fronts, those seam to be very helpful. thank you so much for this video.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Laura Martin Thank you! I appreciate your kindness. I share all of the sketches on my coordinating blog post. The link is in the description box. I find the sketches online from several websites. 😊

[@lauramartin7300]

[@irishone1962]

How do I find the AWESOME templates that you use for your Beautiful Cards?? Thank You!

[@KristieMarcotte]

[@KristieMarcotte]

Debra Shaw Thank you! 😊

[@loreendekort9551]

Are the love from lizi pin stripes similar to the pin stripes you can use for nail art?

[@KristieMarcotte]

Loreen de Kort I’ve never used any nail art stickers before, so I’m not sure. Love From Lizi peel offs were designed for paper crafting. They are amazing! 💖

[@mariannash1975]

As always, love your cards. If your charities need more cards, can you give us the names? Just found out the Pink and Main store near me is moving to Florida. 😩

[@KristieMarcotte]

Marian Nash Thank you so much! 😊 That’s too bad Pink & Main is moving away from you. It’d be so fun to visit their store. The charities I give cards to are very small. Currently, I’ve been able to keep up with their card needs. Thank you for the kind offer though. Have you seen Scrapbook (dot) com’s Cards for Kindness drive? They are accepting cards from crafters and sending them to a variety of organizations. 💖

[@mariannash1975]

Kristie Marcotte thanks, Kristie. I’ll look into it. Can’t wait to see your cards from the Beach Bound kit. 😊

[@frankiecanada2806]

so adorable!!! Would love to get the layouts :)

[@KristieMarcotte]

Frankie Canada Thank you! I always share the card sketches on my coordinating blog post. Link is in the description box. 🙂

[@frankiecanada2806]

Kristie Marcotte ok thanks so much I really love the line stickers not sure what u call them but they are great really enjoy your videos

[@KristieMarcotte]

Frankie Canada The stickers are called peel offs and they are made by Love From Lizi. I have a link where you can purchase them in the description box. They are amazing and I use them all the time.

[@thepeddler9226]

I have some sheets that look so much like these ones I'm going to try and do something with them. I bought them for another project but decided to use something else instead and had no idea what to do with them. I have matching ribbons and stuff.

[@KristieMarcotte]

The Peddler Very fun! I really enjoyed the bright and cheerful colors in this collection. 😊💖

[@cindyn3383]

I love your video so I subscribed! : )

[@KristieMarcotte]

Cindy N Thank you for your kind words and welcome to my channel. 💖

[@cindyn3383]

Thank you Kristie : )

[@frankiecanada2806]

how can i print the layout you show

[@GiGistitches]

On the first card, the measurements don’t add up. 3x5.25 for the vertical strip on the left, then 4x5.25 will make the card 7x 5.25. Am I missing something? Just starting to use card sketches and a bit confused. Thanks

[@KristieMarcotte]

Yes, the 4" should be 1". I didn't put the measurements on that sketch, I downloaded it from Mojo Monday. Maybe I'll add an adjustment.
