As an aspiring card maker, I really enjoyed this video, as well as your commentary! I love pattern paper and have tons of it, bothe 6x6 and 12x12 paper pads/packs. PLEASE do more videos like this one. TFS 😊❤
From one paper addict to another, I love you! Love your process, thank you for sharing all your tips and technics! I'm with you, let the beautiful paper do the talking! I enjoy all of your YTs, keep em coming! Be well, be safe.
you blow my mind! I'd LOVE to figure out how to use a 6X6 paper pad! I just get it and can not see the process, even if I sit here and watch it step by step. I watch these type of videos in awe, and then pull out my pads and get overwhelmed and put them back on the shelf. these are beautfiul.
YAY finally someone that admits they use recollections cardstock! I use 110 for bases and the 65 lb for layering. I do wish you could buy entire packs of some colors.
In July I noticed Michael's does carry some packs with all one color, some with 5 related colors. And it wasn't just white, ivory, Kraft, etc., there was red and a light turquoise blue that I remember.
"If you don't have sentiments, that's okay. These can be notecards. You don't have to have something on the front of your card...let the paper put all of this together for you." "I could talk about this stuff for hours! Which would probably drive some people crazy. Hehehe" 😂😆 "Your solid cardstocks helps that pattern paper become your focal point. We always have to have a focal point." "I just love playing with paper. I just love the texture, and how it feels, and what we we can do with it." I enjoy the nuggets of wisdom along with the beautiful cards! Thank you, so much. 🥰
I loved watching you make note cards. I also love that you do not waste anything. It hurts my heart when people create something and if it doesn't quite print right they throw it out instead of turning it over and trying again. If it doesn't show through the paper, no one will ever know it's there once the glue dries. Love your channel.
Love it! I started doing this but on a way smaller scale and it takes me way longer to come up with 2 or 3 cards! After watching your video maybe I could look at the whole pad instead of struggling to use just 2 or 3 papers. Your cards came out beautiful!
Thank you, Desiree, for sharing this idea. It is very freeing not to have to measure anything. And the ideas of "no greeting" and using white card bases saves time and money. I predict a couple of "speed" sessions ahead in my studio. Peace!
These cards are gorgeous. The best part you created them so quick. I’m staring this video and hope you make more. It is an awesome gift idea too. Gayle💜💜
I like the idea of making notecards and it would be great to have this part done and if you needed to pop it up to the next level you are already halfway there. Love the video, chat away and please make more, we can always use tips and tricks 😊
Thanks Desiree. You always give me a feel good vibe. Love that about all your videos. Please teach us more about paper and cutting. You are most welcome to gab away. 👍💖💐
Your commentary is always so entertaining, Desirée…‘I don’t think I used Vintage Photo on any of these! Maybe?’ Lol In this crafting world of techniques, tricks and tools, needing the latest thing, it is refreshing to see you give “permission” to make cards simply out of patterned paper. This is a great idea for a gift set of cards too! Always enjoy your videos. TFS! 😘
AC Moore shut down. Not Hobby Lobby. Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I have so much pattern paper from scrapbooking but wasn’t sure how to use it for card making. Can’t wait to pull the paper out now and create.
I really enjoyed watching this video. There is so much beautiful paper out there and its so collectable, and now I can see how easy and fun making cards using just paper can be. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing this fabulous technique! I spend so much time trying to figure out what paper to use but your system is really going to help me. Blessings and hugs from Canada!
I still use my Perfect Layers rulers. The company made shorter ones a few years ago, and the are even easier to use for card layer than the older long ones. 👍
Love this! I enjoy making complex cards, watercolouring, etc. but sometimes I just need a card quickly and want to get on with my day. This is perfect! I could see adding a die cut word as a sentiment and maybe some gems (I'm allllll about the sparkle haha) and ta-da! cards made! 💗
Love your use of patterned paper and how simple you explained it. Would love to see paper piecing using patterned paper also, love the idea of this but have had struggles 😁❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks! I do the same inside. The same way..usually if I think it through.. just to give it a little something extra.. And the snail mail is not iIN over here because everybody has smartphones now.. The
Love the pattern paper! 👌 I was inspired because I have a LOT of pattern paper and I thought I was going to have to make junk journals with most of it. Question: What to you do about sentiments now 🤔? Do you make up a variety and just have them ready? Do you stamp on the inside? Do you wait and add sentiments as you need them? Enjoyed your video.
Do you have any playlists of your journal series? I tried following a beginner type one you did that went from the start and was very thorough but it was a bit difficult to find again with my short memory. Haha. Love your laugh btw! And all of your inspiration and this simplicity series reminds me everything doesnt have to be fancy.
I loved this video! I was stuck on wanting to find templates to make card making easier but I have found that I work better just going with what feels right. Thank you so much for this video. So happy I found your channel. #newsubscriber
Hello! New to your channel and I enjoy a good 'ol "gab" video sometimes lol so thank you for your chat and sharing your thought process. I am in paper chopping mode this week so your video crossed my path just in time.😁 thank you! (New subscriber here)
I just watched this video. I wouldn've used a die cut to cut out a sentiment from the sandwiched piece of paper to glue onto the top piece of paper and have it match. No one would see the negative space since it's covered up and your sentiment would match.
could you give me a direct link to the papermill paper you use? I looked and there are several cover weights. some say 12, some 10 some 98 pound weight. Thank you. Very nice video. I learned a lot.
Good evening Desiree. I just got done watching one awesome video that you did of making cards with different pattern card stock and may I say that you did an awesome job too.👍🏻🥰 I do love watching your videos and if possible, could you do more of these kinds of videos in the card making? Have you ever made a video on making holiday cards too? If so, please let me know and I will definitely check out all your videos to see if I can find a Christmas card making video. Hope you have a blessed night and keep up the great work too. Hugs, Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️🙏🏻🌴😍🌸😎🦋👼🥰🌺😘👍🏻❌⭕️❌⭕️
Include a Thank You ...and then some! Awesome!! Hello there Desiree. So wonderful to hear from you. I’m happy that you are wanting to expand your the concept of card making. But no matter what you do, I will always check you out and in fact, if I’m not mistaken, I do believe I have subscribed to your channel.👍🏻 I want to try to expand my TH-cam watching. God bless you and hope you are having a blessed afternoon too. Sue(Clearwater, Florida)❤️👍🏻🌸🦋🌴👼🙏🏻🌺😍😎⛈❌⭕️❌⭕️
When cutting I usually just go with what looks appealing but for the most part in the area of 3x4 or 3.5 x 4.5 or even 4x5.25. This is in inches for the pattern paper and then for the mats I add a 1/4 of an inch. Hope that helps?
Here is the link to the paper I get for my card bases... www.thepapermillstore.com/color-copy-98-bright-white-card-stock-8-1-2-x-11-in-110-lb-cover-250-per-package.html
Im at the point of the video where you say you don't measure and man do I feel that. I will try to measure and feel like I do things even worse than when I just do it by eye.
Beginner card maker here, I am learning all the time Thank You!
Great way to use up our 6x6 paper pads. Would be a great set of cards to give someone! Enjoy you and you move your videos along, which I love!!

I’m glad to see someone using patterned paper to make cards for a change. Thank you, they turned out great!

You should watch Kristie Marcotte. That's all she uses is 6x6 paper pads.

Great tips on using those hoarded paper packs and selecting solid colored packs. As always, stunning cards and entertaining video.
Great video! You called it "simplicity" but what a great idea and I needed the reminder to use these 6 x 6" pads and knock some cards out! Thank you!
Very pretty! I have been using my cricut to make cards.
I absolutely loved this video
Thank you sharing your use of patterned paper. When I started cardmaking 6 months ago, that's all I used.
So very nice, simple and beautiful!

Lol, I am glad you enjoyed the video! I love having these types of cards ready to go and all we need to do is an a sentiment for any occasion!
Thanks for your upbeat, positive thoughts.
Excellent! So glad I found you...I was making things complicated!
Oh I do as well sometimes! LOL
These cards are gorgeous. The best part you created them so quick. I’m staring this video and hope you make more. It is an awesome gift idea too. Gayle💜💜

What a great idea of using up the pad of paper. Tfs your video
Excellent lesson on simplicity! Beautiful!!
Liked this, thanks for sharing, simple but so pretty.
Beautiful cards..love them 🥰
Such a good way to use up bits of patterned paper!!! Tfs❣
These are so pretty. I still getting comfortable with mixing the paper and card stock.
Keep playing with your colors! Your eyes will let you know if it does not look right…

Thanks Desiree. These were beautiful. You have inspired me to go take a look at what's in my stash. 😊
Just found you . Just want to say thank you for the inspiration!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your creative process. Your voice sounds so familiar to me and then it dawned on me. You sound just like Leah Remini!
I knew she sounded Like an actress and yes Leah Drunk it is. She could do voice overs for Leah.
I still use my Perfect Layers rulers. The company made shorter ones a few years ago, and the are even easier to use for card layer than the older long ones. 👍
I’m always looking for ways to use patterned paper. Thank you for sharing

Many times I do not worry about a sentiment. I just wright my note on the inside of the card!
Cool idea! I spend way too much time & money on stepping everything up!
I do too sometimes!

I tried following a beginner type one you did that went from the start and was very thorough but it was a bit difficult to find again with my short memory. Haha. Love your laugh btw!

AC Moore closed, Hobby Lobby is still around!
So sad they closed.
Thank you, whar a great idea. I have lots of these papers.
Great video! Will you be making videos with pink & main kits anymore?
Thanks! Not at this time… I was a guest designer during then and was honored…
I loved this video! I was stuck on wanting to find templates to make card making easier but I have found that I work better just going with what feels right. Thank you so much for this video. So happy I found your channel. #newsubscriber

Yes,.
what are the measurements for your cuts?

The SImplicity series will be continuing, I am also in the process of expanding this concept of making it grow with new ideas!

This is very helpful. Thank you. Maybe I missed something but what size were your original cuts (generally)?
When cutting I usually just go with what looks appealing but for the most part in the area of 3x4 or 3.5 x 4.5 or even 4x5.25. This is in inches for the pattern paper and then for the mats I add a 1/4 of an inch. Hope that helps?
It's really interested in this but I'm still learning. Is it A7 or A2 card base? Thank you. I'm really like to watch your videos and learning more.
I mainly use an A2 card base top folding.
I can’t help it, lol lol I love that ring on your pointer finger!😆where did u purchase it?♥️🤦🏻♀️
Many years ago from Silpada…
I think someone else posted this comment also but I would love to know the dimensions you’re cutting most of the sheets into
great video ! can you tell me the name of the paper pad ? I love it :)
Oh I am sorry, This was from a kit, I believe Simon Says and I do not remember which one it was...
I checked out The Paper Mill site. I can’t find 110 lb. cardstock there. Can you give us a link? Thx.
Here is the link to the paper I get for my card bases... www.thepapermillstore.com/color-copy-98-bright-white-card-stock-8-1-2-x-11-in-110-lb-cover-250-per-package.html
How do u cut them to fit your card
Unfortunately I do not measure…. I just cut where my eye likes…
I am interested in any technique you wish to share!
Hobby Lobby is alive and well. I wonder where you heard that.
Your voice reminds me of actress Leah Remini...
Lol thanks!
Yes! I thought this too!!!
I use glue I don't like tape runners to dam expensive
Im at the point of the video where you say you don't measure and man do I feel that. I will try to measure and feel like I do things even worse than when I just do it by eye.
Just have fun and ENJOY the process!
