I would like the addresses of the card sketch companies. I don’t have a computer. I watch you on my phone. You are a blessing to me. I always liked all card designs, but you taught me what my card style is. How you create cards is my style. Finally at 81 I have discovered my style through you. Layering makes everything look professional. Thank you for all your videos!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much for your kindness. 😊 My website is compatible with mobile devices. So you can still access all of the sketch websites from your phone. You'll just need to tap the 3 bars in the upper right hand corner, then tap Sketch Sites.

[@bevrieschl5802]

Very good ideas. I like Doodlebug too.

[@kellybraille]

Wait whaaaaat? Haha I've been crafting for years, but have only been watching online crafting for maybe 2 years - I had NO IDEA there was a stash of "card sketches" online. What? This is like CHRISTMAS! Mind blowwwwwnnnnn.

[@kellybraille]

Aaahhh I'm mostly into inking...methinks I've stumbled into scrapbookers land 😁 I love learning new things! Cool!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Lol! Sketches have been available for many, many years. There are even sketches for scrapbooking. 😊

[@helenec.9824]

This is hands down the most informative and helpful card making video. Thank you!

[@corinnewatterson5556]

I tend to just improvise, but sometimes I see a sketch on your videos and think maybe I should try something different, so thank you for all your thoughts

[@debbiepeysen9419]

😢I always am in awe of you when you make all the cards. Now I really appreciate all the time you put in before and after you make the cards. Thank you

[@ellengates7843]

Your tutorials are so clear, clean and amazing. I could listen to you all day. Thank you for these tutorials.

[@marthakemmann3058]

Ok, so I’ve been saving and printing card sketches I like for some time now and I have a b-zillion 6x6 paper pads. Now what?? Something is missing in how to proceed. How to choose which papers go where? At about 5:50 in the video was the key that I needed to hear. You found the paper you wanted to use and THEN found sketches that will work with it! 💡💥👍🏻🤯🔐 BOOM that was “key” that I was fumbling with. This totally changes the way I look for sketches now. Thank you so much for sharing your brilliance and creativity with us!

[@DianaZ46]

Wow. This info is incredible. Had no idea this was out there.

[@angelaf5040]

I also want to thank you again for helping me get started sharing cards with people in retirement homes. Being disabled / isolated is hard. I think as a former nurse it makes it harder in a.way because I can't be out in the world trying to make a difference. With prayer and your guidance I've found purpose again. I feel so good working on the cards, then delivering them and seeing what a.simple card can do for someone's day. It's just what my heart needed to make me feel I'm doing something to share kindness! God Bless! Hugs from Kansas!

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It is amazing how a little act of kindness can brighten someone’s day. 💗

[@darlenebrent7310]

Thank you for answering my previous question about how you plan what you make. Your cards are beautiful. I enjoy watching all your videos. Thanks again.

[@sherrysilvestrini7799]

I just found you! I love the simplicity of your explanations. Thank you so much for sharing♥️

[@taniab2018]

Thank you so much for this video. Very easy to follow & very useful. I love it. A great reminder that I can modify sketches a bit, too.

[@turtluv2000]

What a fabulously informative video! Thank you! I can't wait to get back home and start this new-to-me way of card making.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! I'm happy my video was helpful for you. 😊

[@zinapalmer7875]

Your generosity in sharing your knowledge and talent is so appreciated

[@Stahlmaks]

Thank you Kristie for sharing how you use sketches for your card making. Especially when you are preparing for a 6x6 pad week!! I have so many 12x12 pads and recently decided to cut them down to 6x6 so I don’t feel overwhelmed :) I didn’t realize OWH sketches were still available! I used them a long time ago when I’d send cards to Sandy. But then got out of the habit of sketch designs. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful videos!!

[@KristieMarcotte]

The OWH website was shut down, but Sandy made the sketches available on her blog. I also have all of the OWH sketches saved on a Pinterest board. 🙂

[@sheriwitthoft5895]

You are a magician! You pull paper together that I am so intimidated by! Thank you for sharing this process with us. LOVE this so much

[@denisethompson9960]

Thank you so much for this video. I love watching all of your videos. For a newbie like me your videos are the best

[@cathyslate5423]

Thanks so much for this video . Very helpful. Followed you for several years now.

[@thepeddler9226]

You are such a nice person to watch; you so openly share your mind and your talent - I saw your original video and it wasn't that bad. Mine were all made in a hotel room so it's pretty dark - it's the only time I could catch my busy husband to tape me! I went to check a few posts but never checked out the other links you had at the top. I have it on my list to go back to your blog and click on everything. I'll get to know you better, that's for sure. It's funny because I do the exact opposite. I'll check out a made card, figure out the measurements and then create another one. And of course I would change some of those cards because of what's left with the pack I want to use. Until you, I didn't know how to use a sketch...

[@wandaxxxx7406]

Thank you for sharing your creative process. I found it very helpful. I did not realize you had the sketch sites available on your blog. I guess I never go to your blog, only KZbin. I will definitely be using that in the future. TFS

[@tyoutram6908]

Thank you for sharing! Great information for a beginner card maker.🙂

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Very helpful, Kristie! Thank you! From Cheryl in AZ

[@wendlit]

Fantastic video- jam packed full of inspiration 🌸🌿

[@thaicajun]

Thank you for showing the process behind the sped up videos ❤

[@mamaluvscrafts5443]

Thank you so much for your videos Kristie and for taking time to share your cards, assembly and process you use and breaking it down for all of us to understand so we can create beautiful cards with success. You are so kind and generous and it's very much appreciated!!! Stay Safe

[@paulaaddison546]

Great video, Kristie! Lots of resources and great tips!

[@jeannetomshack875]

Excellent! Thank you so much, Kristie!

[@janbcards]

Hi, Kristie. I can't believe I found your video today! On my blog this morning I shared my first every sketch card. I made it using a Freshly Made Sketches. I'll certainly be making more. Many thanks for a great video. xx

[@christinepattee5463]

I’ve been making cards for two years now and I didn’t even know card sketches was a thing! Mind blown!

[@luckylinda7777]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I enjoy hearing your thought process....it’s like getting a view inside your creative brain. Be blessed.

[@lauramurphy438]

Thank you for sharing this information. I found this very helpful and informative. Have a lovely day!

[@joannewilliams2559]

Another great video, Kristie! Thank you for sharing.

[@melissacrawford303]

This is exactly the video I was needing to watch. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@jacquelineb.3907]

Kristie, thank you for taking time to share with your followers and others.

[@sunfish4]

so glad I found this older video, I really learned a lot. thank you

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! 😊

[@Taitcreates639]

Very helpful, just kade a bunch of Christmas cards, took me forever. This is my 3rd yr as a card maker and I really need to find a better quicker way. Gonna ck out some sketches on your blog. Tfs

[@mcortichiato]

Wow! This video was super informative and so helpful to me. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@lornamcnutt8047]

Loved this video - Thank you Kristie love your channel

[@gloriataliaferro5054]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your thought process when you create your cards. Very helpful.🤗

[@ritaswanger1047]

I was excited to see how you choose sketches. That has always interested me.

[@KristieMarcotte]

Thank you! It's the most popular question I am asked, so I figured I'd make a video about choosing sketches.😊

[@lindabeede5180]

Thank you for this video! this is one of the hardest part of my crafting! :)

[@debbieduran6791]

Lots of great information. Thanks for sharing! Liked your polish btw and ordered it!

[@laceystonerock6609]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I've always wondered how you plan your sketches out so efficiently! I've learned so much watching your videos.

[@Deneen31]

Wonderful video Kristie and I’m sure many will appreciate it. Love that you showed how you figure out the measurements of sketches that don’t have any measurements on them. I also really enjoyed seeing your process on picking out papers to go together.

[@lisastanley1007]

I’ve been watching for a long time, and this really helps solidify the things we see you do so often, super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing these sketches and sketch sites. I really appreciate you sharing the measurements as well 😊

[@KarenAicken]

Awesome video ... thanks for sharing your thought processes with us!

[@caseyslove]

Very insightful- thank you for sharing - this will be a go to video for me. I’ll need to check out sketch sites.

[@maripahl9671]

Great ideas. Thanks!

[@elvamcnurlin5736]

Thank you for sharing your process.

[@DianeSturlinXX]

Great explanations! See👀 you can teach this old dog new tricks 🤗

[@bonniemcgrew7508]

Great video!!! Thank you for sharing this.

[@melissamcneil683]

I'm so glad I found your channel! I think I may have seen some in the past, but this is right up my ally. I watch all the most known names in card making today, but sometimes it's just too much. The cards are beautiful, but not what I would be able to make. Just watching this video alone has helped so much about card sketches. I've always been a bit intimidated by them. Not any more. Thank you so much! This was an extremely helpful video. Now to go back and watch your others.

[@greenlady43]

Excellent! I’m saving this to refer back to, thank you

[@sherascreations5678]

Thank you for all the information and encouragement ❤️

[@deborahcrowder1550]

[@Mary-el3pi]

This was so interesting and informative! I recently “found” you and have enjoyed seeing all the cute cards. Love the tutorial at the end…I will have to do way more exploring now! Thanks a bunch!

[@suealger3154]

You create so many wonderful cards. We really appreciate your talent and thankful you share it all with us. This is truly a wonderful video and will go in my library as one I will refer to regularly. THANK YOU

[@franciscavanbochove2465]

🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Kristie, you answered a lot of my questions 🥰🥰🥰

[@kristen2439]

Thank you for sharing this video.. I love your videos they are so relaxing to watch before bed.. I just tried to follow the sketches in your Booville 6x6 paper pad video.. it was the first time following a cards sketch

[@beverlystotz5652]

Yay!! This is so helpful! Knowing what is out there is the key. You eliminate much of the thinking for me by providing the info in your blog posts!! Thank you for doing this. I most definitely appreciate it!!!

[@lorimanning924]

Thanks so much for sharing your process!!!

[@lindas.9313]

Your videos are some of my favorites and I really enjoy watching your creative process. Thanks.

[@nesyacollings119]

Thank you for taking the time to generate this video! Great information.

[@roxannetucker5813]

Thanks Kristie, for sharing all these very appreciated tips of all your amazing card designs and ideas.

[@paulistanaemoregon6617]

Kristie I waited so long for this video!!! Thank you so much for sharing your thought process it helped me a lot to understand the logic choosing card sketches! I enjoy your videos very much and you brought inspiration for me to use my paper pads. You are a talented and gifted crafter!

[@chriscoussement7027]

Bedankt voor de vele informatie en de schetsen van de kaarten ze zijn stuk voor stuk zo mooi

[@babsleach3578]

What a great video! Thank you so much for sharing this! You also have such a great eye for picking out pattern paper.

[@janeywescott8850]

A fabulous resource! Thanks so much.

[@alecscreation]

[@lynneclark7902]

Thank you for this! I enjoy your videos very much! Now I can try some on my own. 🤔

[@cathyholtz6896]

Thank you!!!! I am overjoyed.

[@christisteger1242]

GREAT tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[@KayDerr]

I just found your video. 3 years later LOL. I love it. Very informative. Thank you for making it.

[@BarbaraAustinUTSP]

I am really impressed with your process. You make it sound so simple to use all those papers and scraps !

[@KristieMarcotte]

Aw, thank you so much! 😊

[@njmontoya3376]

Thanks Kristie for the info. You make it seem so easy!

[@carbooth49]

Thank you for this. Very helpful. Always look forward to your videos. I find I try challenging myself to use up the whole 6x6 paper back. Although it takes me a long time, it is nice not having a bunch of small scraps. It’s also cost efficient to use stuff up rather than storing it. Thanks and keep up your awesome work.

[@luckylinda7777]

...now I want that paper pad.....however, I have several others that I could practice on. LoL

[@samanthatansley]

Amazing video, thank you for always sharing so much!!

[@candiwelsh5524]

Wow. Thank you so much Kristie! This was so helpful and very generous of you. You are so very gifted and inspiring. GOD bless you my dear❤️

[@gloriaholmes2942]

Thank you so much! I enjoy your videos, but this one explained so much. Thanks again for taking the time to go over all the details.

[@carmennamenek5400]

Thanks so much for sharing your process this was super informative!

[@anmiyoto]

Thank you for explaining your process in picking sketches! Very helpful! I'm trying to use up as much paper I've hoarded over the years before I buy any more new ones. Your videos really motivate me to use up all my paper.

[@robbiefitzgerald79]

Great video, I can see why this one is popular. Thanks

[@moreadsAlot]

Thank you! This is so informative. I’ll share with a friend who is new to cardmaking.

[@jantine4039]

That was really fun to watch how you make these decisions! Thanks!💕

Hey Kristie, this has been an enjoyable and informative video. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Kristie, you STAR! This is just what I needed to kick my crafting mojo into gear! I have a file on my computer of card sketches, but I find it hard to pick the right papers. Thank you!

[@camillewalling6793]

You are totally awesome and taking the time to show us how you do this is amazing. I have enjoyed watching you make many cards and have tried some of the sketches. The info you share is so helpful. You are the queen of sketches and make it seem so simple. I only wish I could be as efficient as you. It takes me days to come up with a design, maybe this video will help to simplify my choices. Thank you Kristie for all your hard work and great tutorials... we love you and your talent. Hugs...
