  1. I usually make my own cards but on occasion I have bought some of the CTMH card kits (love the Christmas ones) and I really enjoyed making them.

  2. More often than not I make my own cards; however, I have ordered one card kit around Christmas time....just help me get thru the season faster. With what I had made previously and the card kit (which I still have some more to make) I have more than enough Christmas cards to last me for the next few years. lol Thanks for sharing your time, talents, and ideas with us. Love your videos.

  4. I just used them this weekend for the first time. I usually make my own but loved trying out the card kits and will probably use them again. Love to add my own spin on them.

  5. No - I used a card kit once that I won in a giveaway, but generally I like to do my own thing - I have so many tools and supplies - I need to use them!

  6. I've used the card kits, but tend to want to vary them a bit for my own style. They are a great starting point, and sometimes I actually follow the instructions. :-)

  7. I don't usually use card kits. I have a couple sitting on a shelf and find that as I make cards they are so custom for that person that I end up doing my own thing, I would like to be inspired to make a bunch of general cards to have on hand to give away for that last minute moment when I didn't have enough time, :)

  9. I only use card kits if they speak to me, the papers are fantastic or the embellishments are something I have never tried. I like using my Cricut for most of my cards.

  10. Sometimes I use the card kits if I'm in a pinch and need a card for something super quick, but I usually make my own cards from ideas that I have on my own. :) I just like using my Cricut waaaaay too much to use a pre-made kit! ;)

  19. I make all my own cards. Bought a card kit once but never followed instructions as I did
    not like the way they did it - used their supplies and Did it my way! So as you can see - that
    is why I make my own cards.

  20. I haven't found any card kits that I like enough to buy them I like making my own color combinations - but I have seen some pretty ones.

  21. Getting a kit sure does take the thinking out of a card. Not a bad thing. A little help now and then is surely a blessing. Thanks for a chance to win,

  28. I never use card kits - why spend the money when I have so many supplies on hand? I generally look online or on Pinterest for ideas, then make my own version of them.

  29. I've never tried a kit, as I have fun picking and matching up supplies in my craft room, but this looks very pretty. I might have to give one a try, now! Thank you for all the great ideas and videos, Joy. BethAnn M.

  30. Yes, when I find some that I really, really like. I like your card! It's really nice. Thanks.

  31. I have used one I got it free with something. If I found others I like I would use them.

  32. I've never tried a kit. But if it makes it easier and faster, I'm all for it since I currently take an hour for one card (I'm still a n00b at this).

  33. I bought a card kit but really didn't like it.

  34. I just love everthing you do! Thanks for all you show us!

  35. I have just recently started using the CTMH card kits and love the coordinating papers. Don't generally make the suggested cards but, instead, make my own with the great papers and accessories. Would love to see more card kits. Wouldn't it be fun to have the same great selection for cards as there is for scrapbook pages? Am excited to see the new idea book coming in August, as well as find out what changes are being made.
