You’ve just gained another subscriber since your video is short and sweet. I can’t spare an hour like other Stampin’ Up creators show their cards and techniques.

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thank you! I try to keep them around 10 minutes or less, since I know I skip ahead when I see longer ones.

[@amyfouts9781]

I agree.

[@ru4repeattoo]

My thoughts exactly! 🤩

Beautiful card and tote bag!! ❤️
Your video popped up in my feed, and I’m glad it did. Great video!
I’ll definitely be back! 😊

[@catdeeann]

The cards are beautiful and the bag is a great touch. Thank you for sharing.

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks so much! The disigner series paper does all the work!

[@charly30us]

That tote is so adorable and it’s easier than the box I make for my card sets ❤

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thank you! I love the simplicity of it.

[@myrah3500]

I love this idea. I'd love to size it to put in an envelope and surprise my pen pals with a card in a bag.

[@StampingwithKristen]

That is something I will have to play with. Would your card be smaller than a typical card to all fit in an envelope?

[@maricar9487]

Great tutorial! Thank you.

[@LittleTreasuresbyNancy]

New subscriber. Cute tote for storing the cards. Much better looking than a regular cardboard box.

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks! And thanks for subscribing!

Viewing from the caribbean lovely and the colours to well done

[@StampingwithKristen]

I wish I were in the Caribbean! It has been 0 degrees here! Thanks for the comment!

[@ksbrook1430]

I like the tote - very simple to make.
I needed something like that the other day for a set of cards I was gifting. I ended up making a large envelope. But the tote is much cuter.

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks! I love how easy it is to make, You will now have another way to give cards.

[@jeannieschram6920]

Great Project. Keep up the inspirational ideas.

I'm glad I found you! I was hoping to find a tote that size! I saw Juli Baca make a small one and I fell in love with it and wanted to make a bigger one , but didn't know what dimensions to use. Thank you!

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks for subscribing! I am glad you like the cards and tote. I agree, the DSP is so great to work with!

[@cherin6037]

OMG Kristen you made my day. This is adorable...and matching cards? Wow. I have sets of A2 cards with their envelopes ready for pal gifts. BUT..matching cards might have to re-start those gifts! 😉 Thanks so much!! And another option if you're looking for a challenge might be same thing sized for either mini slimline or slimline cards?

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thank you! I am so glad you like it! I am sure your friends would like the gift matching or not matching cards. Cards are always an excellent gift! Good idea to create different sizes!

[@becnsamCraftingFun]

what a great card gift idea! thanks! just subscribed!

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks! I appreciate you subscribing!

[@sweetsarah9702]

I would like to make this tote but a bit smaller for just 4 or 5 cards to fit nicely in.

[@StampingwithKristen]

4 cards with envelopes fits nice. That is what I usually give.

[@jacquelineteague3545]

Hi im new to your channel. I love the cards and the bag

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks for the comment! The tote and cards are such a great little gift

[@amyfouts9781]

Thank u so very much. This is A very cute idea. I love it.
Could u use some cardboard 2 reinforce the inside bottom of the card tote?
Have a great, blessed day.

[@StampingwithKristen]

Thanks! You sure could add some card board to reinforce it. It isn't really needed for just cards, but if you wanted to put something heavier it would be a good idea.

[@amyfouts9781]

@@StampingwithKristen ok. Thank u. Have a great, blessed night.

[@alicia7280]

Lovely but simple cards and such a clever tote! Thanks for sharing. Is the embossing folder used on the cards perhaps the one from Sale-a-Bration rather than the one from the Basics pack?

[@StampingwithKristen]

good eyes, I used the Sale-A-Bration one,and then did some with the basics embossing folder and mispoke They look great with either one.

[@judylake8464]

This is beautiful. I noticed that you don't list the items you use in creating this ie: the scoring mat, the glass mat etc. I
Is this just an oversight in this video?

[@StampingwithKristen]

Yes, I should of definitely said that. I will add them to the list of products used in the description.

[@cherin6037]

Kristen what is the size of the DSP on each side of the tote please?

[@StampingwithKristen]

3" x 4 1/2" Have fun creaiting!
