[@papercrafttherapist7998]

Thanks for mentioning that you simplified your #1 sketch. I think I'll try it again your way.

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi Ashleigh. I love your video. Outstanding job and fantastic top 5 countdown. I would live to see your top 5 sentiments.TFS. ❤❤❤

[@reganzick6535]

I love any of the sketches for 6x6 paper. Your number #5 and #2 are probably my favorites but I think all of these except #1 and #3 are in a binder I always go back to. I only have my favorites printed.

[@ScrappyMim]

I love sheet load for using up scraps. Your modification on June 2022 is brilliant. Love all these.

[@created2bless322]

WOW! I really loved how you showcased and went through your process of working out the pattern papers, sentiments, ephemera and the templates. I hope the other design team members do the same! HINT HINT if you are reading this! Also I am eager to see your top sentiments and you recreate these templates in upcoming videos. Great JOB! Thank you!

[@tammyb6497]

I would agree that it is very hard to pick a favourite sheetload sketch. Your top five are some of my favourites as well, and I have used your modifications on a couple of the sketches! Thanks for the fun video.

[@MintTwistCards]

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad my sketch adjustments are helpful.

[@gingermate7490]

Great video! These cards are lovely, and your modification of the June 2022 is brilliant.

[@janemason9557]

Love your video & love all your cards. Enjoy your alternatives and appreciate your explanation of them. 😁

[@michellewissler3013]

Wow, wow, wow! This was an amazing video! You made beautiful cards! I love all your tips and explanations. I'm definitely saving this video! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous card designs💖

[@MintTwistCards]

This made me smile. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@susankeller5557]

This is a wonderful video! I could watch you all day as I so enjoy creating in bulk! Have a wonderful evening!😊

[@jenniferreece2218]

This was great! I am completely mesmerized by your card making videos and really enjoyed your top sheetload selection. I always get such great ideas from you for using my leftovers. I am always amazed at how your scraps match each other so well, too! Thank you!

[@janweddell3878]

Great video with many great tips! I love to watch your process! Thank you!

[@MintTwistCards]

You are so welcome!

[@LeiNaniAdams]

Loved the June 2022 sketch also. I ended up adding a piece of paper to the inside card, to make a pocket for a gift card. It worked really well.

[@lynnmartin5141]

This was fun to watch. Thank you.🦋 got some great ideas Xx😁🦋🦋

[@michellebetts8031]

I’m watching your video now! February 2022 was the first Sheetload in ever did, and it is definitely my favorite!!!! I was trying to get a-hold-o’ my scraps and made over 60 cards! 💖

[@MintTwistCards]

Nice job!

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

I enjoyed the Joy fold sketch as well

[@shelmoore1552]

This is a go to video for me. Have watched it multiple times for inspiration. Thank you so much! Has really helped me create cards in bulk for the organization I donate to.

[@MintTwistCards]

I'm so glad to hear that. It's a different format for me but I think I'll try and do more that are tips and tricks as they seem to really be helpful for others.

[@shirleyh9583]

Thank you, this was great fun to watch you use so much of your patterned paper to make your favorite card sketches. It is hard for me to pick a favorite. 🙂

[@rosacaban9708]

Awesome video! I loved your choices of patterns and colors. Thank you. Much appreciated. 😊

[@MintTwistCards]

Thank you! 😊

[@marleenjanus7162]

Great video! It's fun to see someone elses top 5! Some of them really match with what I like to use, some I will probably not use at all. I will go through all the sketches myself to pick my top 5 later to post here as well.

[@jenniferallison8002]

I’ve narrow down my favorites to seven. I also enjoy February 2022, and November 20 which you had on your list. Very similarly, I love the sketch from October 2022. There’s three templates use lots of small pieces. For sympathy cards I think the April 23 is my favorite. If the paper is double sided, you can get four cards from one sheet of 6 x 8 paper. I really like how the July 2023 sketch feels the entire front of your sheet of cardstock with pattern paper without needing a layering piece. It’s great for colored cardstock bases. When I want to use a bigger pattern or I want to use a larger chunk of paper in one spot, I really like the June 2021 and the August 2021 sketches. in the August sketch, I adapt it to cut 1“ x 2 1/2“ pieces for the bits of paper that go on the side layer. I still cut the mats at full size, but I only put the pattern paper bits on the ends where they are visible. It was very hard narrowing down my favorites, and as you can see, I was not able to get all the way to five. I like them for different things.

[@MintTwistCards]

So many fantastic ones to choose from. I found it tricky to pick! April 2023 is definitely a winner also.

[@susanmiller592]

I love these! Sometimes I look at the sketch and it’s just OK, but after seeing your samples, I love how they turned out and want to try some of those sketches! I tend to make the same sketches over and over. I don’t think I’ve done any of the ones you did except for #1. I love that one and have used it a lot! But now I will try your other favorites as well.

[@MintTwistCards]

I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful.

[@Rosie-mz4bx]

Yes too video on favorite sentiments and maybe other goodies Thanks

[@MintTwistCards]

Thanks for letting me know you're interested.

[@DarleneHope]

Wonderful ideas and tips along the way thanks for your creative ideas. I also loved using that Blush paper pad… so pretty with the rose gold foiling ❤

[@MintTwistCards]

My absolute favorite.

[@JDRUSSELL]

Thank you! I’m enjoying your content! Your #1 Favourite Sheet Load is the one I tried this morning and I love it too! Next I’ll try your #5 Favourite (I rich in patterned paper scraps!) I’ll tag you on my post on IG so you can see how mine turned out 😊

[@MintTwistCards]

I'm glad you're enjoying my videos, and thanks so much for the support.

[@lindacosta1289]

Thanks for sharing! This is a great method for using up some paper pads. Love it!

[@MintTwistCards]

Lots of ideas in one video!

[@1stLucySchmidt]

I go through my accumulated Sheetloads every so often and try to pick new favorites to try. It's a never-ending game of hop scotch with Alicia's brilliant contributions. You chose well and did great. I recently bought my first pack of Paper Rose papers and they are, indeed, nice papers. Thanks for your "condensed" version of favorites.☺

[@MintTwistCards]

I'm so glad you enjoy the templates, and I'm glad to hear you're trying Paper Rose.

[@jharvey93]

Loved this video and love Crafty Al. I look forward to new sketches each month and can't wait to try them out. Thanks for sharing your top 5.

[@jesseb5112]

I have watched parts of this more than once. My scraps, random extras, backgrounds that I don't love (but have kept for years) ... have become overwhelming. I have 6 Halloween cards to decorate the insides and write full letters inside of. After that, I am going to grab a container and see what I can do with it. You have given me a ton of ideas!!!

[@MintTwistCards]

Wonderful! I hope it went well!

[@deborahbuonomo296]

Wow, great video! I enjoy how you take us thru your process of assembling the different layouts. I especially love your gnome cards, they are absolutely adorable. 💕

[@MintTwistCards]

Thank you. I feel like I should make some more of the gnome cards!

[@rickandsally]

I love the boat cards!

[@MintTwistCards]

So cute aren't they. So simple but great cards for all recipients.

[@deboraforrester7873]

Amazing. I’m a member and this really helped me. Thanks

[@MintTwistCards]

I'm really glad to hear it.

[@quiquidee]

I really love your videos! I love also how clear and how beautiful they are filmed. Could you maybe do a video showing your set up and equipment used? I've watched hundreds of content creators and I really love your set up! I am new to videos and mine look like they are from 2006 and in reality (lol) I am using a camcorder from 2006.

[@MintTwistCards]

My set up is quite basic. I use my iphone in a clamp on an elgato arm mount clamped to my dining table with two big lights in front looking down at my workspace. The items were all from amazon. Lights (VOLKWELL 50x70cm Softbox Lighting Kit, 2x135W 5500K E27 Socket Bulbs Reflectors). Mount is 3 items (Elgato Master Mount S - Main Pole Extendable Up to 54 cm / 21 in; Elgato 10AAC9901 Flex Arm; SmallRig Magic Arm Cool Ballhead - 1138). Clamp - YaYa Universal Smartphone Tripod Adapter. I hope it helps!

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

All of these cards are great. I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@MintTwistCards]

You are so welcome!

[@angieadwin8515]

Just found your channel. I love it. Your esthetic is lovely and in keeping with my. Rest assured I'll be using all these sheetload templates. Thanks for all you do.

[@MintTwistCards]

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad my videos are helpful for you,

[@pattimoffett6648]

thanks so much for these top 5. reorganizing craft room I found a box of scraps Christmas colors which fit Nov 2022 perfectly. whoot whoot an empty box...

[@MintTwistCards]

Sounds great!

[@michellebetts8031]

“Maybe they’re hip and happ’ning!” The best line of the video!!! I was thinking the same thing when you were talking about the sailboats, “They’re just distressed!”

[@MintTwistCards]

haha

[@lindaholt2235]

Brilliant choices!

[@MintTwistCards]

Thank you. There was lots of excellent options.

[@PapercraftsbyCindyellen]

Hey! I made that *same adjustment to the June 22 pattern!! It's one of my favorites- and that set of LF sentiments is prolly my most used sentiment set lol.

[@MintTwistCards]

Love it!!

[@Mary-el3pi]

I love all your cards and Crafty Al’s sketches…the modified Joyfold is a wonderful way to showcase many patterned papers with less card stock!

[@MintTwistCards]

I totally agree. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@HowcrossCastle]

BRILLIANT video…. thank you for the inspiration.

[@MintTwistCards]

Glad you enjoyed it. This video took quite a bit of time to create!

[@vickiluebke3684]

You’re my favorite card maker as we make cards in a very similar fashion. I love it when you put out a new video! Thanks for making your videos.

[@MintTwistCards]

That's so nice of you to say. The videos take quite a bit of work but I enjoy the process.

[@joansensing8504]

All are beautiful!!

[@junecornish6049]

I love watching your videos .The way you use up scraps.

[@MsGabmc]

This is fantastic - thanks so much for sharing. New subscriber here

[@MintTwistCards]

Welcome!

[@loribeck7496]

I love watching you create! I wouldn't be able pick my top favorite sheetloads.

[@brendawalsh8254]

This was great. First timer here and I just subscribed 😊

[@MintTwistCards]

Thanks so much.

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

I always enjoy your sheet load of cards videos. I think Alicia's sheet load of cards works so well with whole pad assembly line card making (which you excel at!). This round up of your favourite sheet loads was really great! ❤

[@MintTwistCards]

Oh thank you! So nice of you to say.

[@CallMeCraftyAl]

Absolutely LOVE this video!! I enjoyed seeing your favorites and finding out the 'why' for each one. Thanks so much for taking the time to make and share this. :)

[@MintTwistCards]

It was so much fun. Thanks for creating so many amazing choices!

[@kristinamathey1969]

Thank you for sharing these favorite sketches.

[@kathleens7898]

GREAT video!!! FYI, I use a nail file to eliminate the paper tags left on die cuts.

[@MintTwistCards]

What an excellent idea. Maybe a sanding block would be similar. I have one of those. I'll definitely give it a try.

[@annm7153]

That’s my favorite sheetload sketch as well. Great video.

[@barbhampton54]

What an incredible idea! I have all of the Sheetloads printed out, and it helps to have a shorter list to look at. I'm mass making Christmas cards right now to Operation Gratitude, so this is extremely helpful!

[@MintTwistCards]

I just looked up Operation Gratitude. How fantastic. I wish we had more organised places to donate cards to in Australia. I've managed to find a few gems but there seem to be more cardmakers than places to donate.

[@lorimauser2168]

It is hard to pick a top 5 when it comes to Sheetload. I've made each of the ones you've picked, so I have no argument with these being in the top 5. One criteria I have for a favorite is that they're usable for 6x6 papers.

[@michellebetts8031]

I haven’t even watched this yet and already can’t wait to!!!!💖💖💖

[@elizabethbuikema5640]

Yay! Another fantastic video from you!

[@cardsandcraftcottage]

Would love to know your sentiment top 5 sets especially those for cards to be donated.

[@MintTwistCards]

Thanks for sharing your interest. It helps me plan the videos that help people the most.

[@debpotter8315]

I was looking at my favorites the other day I'm not sure I can just chose 5 davorites.
