Thank you so much!

I’m a native Floridian but I move to East Tennessee! When I journey I never can decide what to take so I pretty much take everything! lol! I enjoy watching y’all’s videos because y’all make me laugh! I like that y’all are married and working together! 😊💜💕 Oopsie, I forgot to say I really like your cards! Another Oopsie! Lol I’m going to make lots of these fit thank you cards! I love the black and white one that y’all made! Y’all are so inspirational! Thank you again! Have a blessed time in Florida! 😊

We always go to the same place just after Christmas and into the new year and it's a holiday apartment at the North Sea coast, very quiet up there, just walking, sleeping, reading, swimming (in the pool, not in the sea!!!), sauna, cooking, eating - and for me, crafting, of course. Since I know there's an "Action" store up there (a Dutch chain store with lots of cheap craft supplies), I take the most basic tools (scissors large and small, a cutting knife, a steel ruler, a bone folder, cutting mats small and medium), glues (foam pads, foam tape, liquid glue, snail, narrow double-sided tape), coloring pencils or markers. I also take some sets of bought pre-cut 3D cards and toppers as well as stamped & die-cut images ready to color. I then usually find some more pre-cut sets at the store there, plus I buy one of two storage boxes of the kind I use all the time. I start out with making loads of 3D toppers to last me for the year (or longer) - if I run out of any type of glue, I can buy more there. I also play with the card sets - I usually put them together differently from what the package says. And then I color my pre-stamped images. Vacation over, two boxes full of pre-made elements, and a couple of cards. I loved this video - not just because you're sending out such happy-mood vibes, but also because there weren't that many measurements to follow and you are not heavy on the advertising. You sell by simply demonstrating and chatting and entertaining, I'm sure, while others give a lecture on product numbers, special prices, how you can't go without this or that, and never stop mentioning how fantastic everything is. You make me want a certain type of paper simply because I SEE how versatile/pretty it is. Thank you and enjoy your time in Florida - best wishes from Germany!

@@KarenTitus You know, most of my friends and colleagues don't see it as something to look forward to, they think I'm just ticking off the annual vacation still left. But it's not, it's our Big Oooom vacation, very important to us. The place we go to is practically closed down at the time we go, there's a bakery open between 7 and 10 and a fish shack selling fish - no chips - in a bun at lunchtime. Our apartment is on the tenth floor of one of the two ugliest buildings in the vicinity, and luckily, we are looking out onto the sea and the woods. So I always say we are in the best place to be - we can't see our building! This is my vacation back porch. Thanks for all you do.

Hi Karen & Tim! I sent Tim and I also sent you a card but apparently you haven’t received your card yet Karen. So glad that you showed my card I enjoyed making it. Just as I said I enjoy your videos you make me laugh you make me smile I’ve BingeWatch your videos laugh out loud. Stay safe enjoy your vacation! Love this fun for the can’t wait to try it!

Have fun in FLA! I live in Kissimmee, just south of Orlando. And, you're right, it's cool for us Floridians😎

I've been enjoying everyone's different cards using this technique. Thanks Karen and Tim for giving us new ideas. Enjoy Florida.

Just wanted to let you know that I just made two dozen of this style card. I used the free paper from Sale-A-Bration with the flowers that have the darker backgrounds. I cut all 12 pieces of DSP.!! It was fantastic. Love this idea!

Sliding the pointy end of the pick tool removes that liner tape very easily. Cute idea!

Fun in Florida have lots of fun. Keep warm. Love the card Tim made too. I’m going to case it. I never thought about a pocket card like that. I enjoyed the cards. Thank you so much for showing us how to make them. You could put another pocket on the tucking card and put a gift card in it with a note written behind the gift cards. Got my brain working now. Laughing.

I plan on snowbirding. Good to see you can still craft when out of town.

What a neat idea. I make little cards all the time with left over supplies. Now I'll just make the backgrounds with the pocket to slide them in. Thanks for the idea.

Lovely cards, Tim and Karen! Last year, we spent 5 weeks in southern France and I brought all Stampin' write markers and a Memories and More set. It wasn't enough, by far. Next vacation will probably be in summer and to the same camp site, but then I'll be bringing LOTS more. It will be easier, what with the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. For now, we're snowed in: só rare in our part of the Netherlands!

I used this design for all my valentines this year. Loved the design!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for teaching us.

What a fun idea which I will definitely be having a go at. 😊 The measurements will have to be altered to U.K. card sizes , but I’m sure that won’t be too hard.. You really are such enjoyment to watch during sad covid days, you have the patience of a saint with Tim, but it’s lovely watching him have a go. Enjoy your time away x

Oh you two, I just LOVE watching the both of you! Great idea for quick cards, I love it! I have to say, as soon as I saw you stick that top card down on the base at an angel, I knew that Tim would want to put it straight *hehe* so cute Tim. I also love that when you do sit with Karen on her Lives and make cards, that you really want to bring in your own ideas as I know you don't want your cards to all look the same :-) Now, I am a little confused about your last comment about your anniversary in that you said it was in a couple of days and yet the video was filmed on 6th Feb, and yet last video you mentioned you asked her on 12th Feb as you were too impatient to wait until 14th Feb. I hope you had a fun Zoom chat with your relatives in Norway. Do you speak Norwegian as well or at least understand it? Anyway, another fun video with the both of you. Love, love, love you both!
