Happy 7! The watercolor video.
Posted by: debb | May 29, 2014 at 04:03 AM
My favorite tutorial has to be the File Folder card made with the Envelope Punch Board. Those were so clever and cute. I made Halloween, Christmas and Last Day of School File Folder cards for the teachers to put in their planning books and they loved them. Happy 7 years blogging. I really enjoy all your tutorials. You are a natural teacher.
Posted by: Maggie Carmody | May 29, 2014 at 04:26 AM
It isn't really a tutorial, so I don't know if it counts, but I've watched your Project Life video over and over. It is so helpful to get a sense of what all is actually in some of these kits! Thanks!
Posted by: Amy | May 29, 2014 at 04:54 AM
I love the water coloring/ color wash you did a while back on the swallowtail butterfly!! So beautiful.

All your tips are Fabulous! I really like the "Paper Lace Medallion" Video, I'm always looking for new stamps to try this technique with to get a more elegant look or even a shabby chic look. Congrats on 7 years of blogging, have a wonderful day!
Posted by: Mollie | May 29, 2014 at 07:48 AM
Patty,
I have recently found you via the internet. I watch your videos on the big screen! Love them! The Flower Photo Accordion Book showing your garden pictures to me was wonderful! Best of both worlds, crafting/card making and seeing your garden with God's creations! Thanks for the effort you put into sharing you talents.
Posted by: Anita | May 29, 2014 at 07:53 AM
I love your file folder card video. So amazing and versatile. I also love your calm manner of teaching in a very specific and detailed manner. Thanks for all of your great tips.

Posted by: EILEN Mcclean | May 29, 2014 at 08:42 AM
Wow Patty ! It is hard to believe that you did that many video tutorials. I find each one of them so helpful with not only how to's but also tips. As for tips, my favorite was the Big Shot Die Video of 2008 for saving our empty dimensional sheets so that we could glue intricate die cuts on them. As for the favorite card making one, I would have to say the Fence Card from this year. Please keep them coming. Thank you.
Posted by: Aileen | May 29, 2014 at 09:06 AM
Congrats on blogging for 7 years. That's amazing. I love checking out your blog! It's so resourceful. My favorite video is the tutorial on how to crate a File folder with the Envelope Punch Board. I've seen them around and always wondered how to make them. Thank you so much! =)
Posted by: Kari Linder | May 29, 2014 at 09:18 AM
Congratulations! The video with the watercolor swallowtail is my favorite...
Thank you so much for the chance to win such a fabulous blog candy!
Posted by: Martha H. | May 29, 2014 at 09:18 AM
I'm going to have to agree with a lot of your viewers and say the two videos using the punch board. And congratulations on all your accomplishments in the last seven years! Have a blessed weekend.
Posted by: Robin B. | May 29, 2014 at 09:57 AM
Hello!
I think my most favorite project you ever made was the wonderful flower wreath. I was so in love with it that I kept the printouts for months. I finally made one for myself to put on my apartment door (I posted it today if you would like to see it) and it is so pretty! Thank you for sharing all that you do! The blog candy is fantastic - what a lovely gift that would be!
Wishing you a happy day!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
Posted by: Barbara D Ramsey | May 29, 2014 at 10:18 AM
My favorite is using the envelope punch board to create file folder cards. It was well done (as usual) & so helpful. Congrats!
Posted by: Faye J | May 29, 2014 at 10:18 AM
Too hard to choose just one favorite video - anything with the envelope punch board and circle thinlets - so many great ideas for these products. I actually love all of your ideas. Thanks for 7 years of blogging and hope to see many more to come! :)
Posted by: Judy Ford | May 29, 2014 at 10:24 AM
The spiral rose was so wonderful, thanks...
Posted by: MARY MOUGEOT | May 29, 2014 at 10:40 AM
Patty, I love the Swallowtail watercolor video. Congratulations on 7 years of your blog. Also I wanted to say thank you for your courtesy and kindness whenever I order from you, since I'm in Indiana and you are in California.
Posted by: Amber Callahan | May 29, 2014 at 10:45 AM
As I looked at people's comments I kept nodding my head and thinking, "Yep, that was a good one!" I would have to say my favorite is the watercolor swallowtail butterfly. Thank you for your great videos and inspirational blog. KJ
Posted by: fiddlinfan | May 29, 2014 at 10:51 AM

I really likes the one about fabric flowers. I refer to your videos a lot. I also loved one about crinkling up paper punched flowers and layering them. You made a pin out of it. I made a whole bunch of them for cards for my monthly card club and they came out nice. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!!
Posted by: Kathie Nielsen | May 29, 2014 at 12:58 PM
Patty congratulations on seven years of blogging! I have followed you for years. Your blog is so amazing and informative. That is why I became a demonstrator under you over five years ago. Thanks for all you share with us! :)

My favorite is the envelope punch board
Posted by: Paula Richards | May 29, 2014 at 01:19 PM
I like the vanilla flower trim wreath video. It sure is an inventive way to make it different in a lot of ways. I also liked the use if the shaker frames, have them, but never used them yet. Thanks so much for the ideas.
Posted by: Sandra Stubbs | May 29, 2014 at 01:22 PM
Video tutorials are my favorite way of learning how to use things and my favorite was the file folder video. I used that idea to send out Christmas cards using that technique this past year. Thanks so much!
Posted by: S. Miller | May 29, 2014 at 01:35 PM
Congratulations on all your great accomplishments! I love all of your videos! I had to think long and hard on which was my favorite but I finally realized that you have a SERIES that I have watched over and over again. It's your printer tray series! I have been bummed that I missed out on that ever since I found you as a demonstrator! Thanks for sharing you awesome talent with us!!
Posted by: Bonnie Reynolds | May 29, 2014 at 01:38 PM
I love your technique videos....but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the flower fence card. I have enjoyed that one so much this year. Your videos are so easy to follow and enjoy! Congratulations on your anniverasay!
Posted by: Susie Smith | May 29, 2014 at 01:44 PM
Congratulations, Patty! Soooooo many great videos! I guess the watercolor video but there are way too many to REALLY choose a favorite.
Posted by: Gail Slagle | May 29, 2014 at 01:48 PM
My favorite is the Cherry Cobbler Tulle decorative medallion. So very cute to use for lots of things.

Posted by: Chris Neely | May 29, 2014 at 02:48 PM
It's a toss up between the Fifth Avenue Floral watercolor rose and the Brayered Rose card...they both remind me of your beautiful roses. Congrats on 7 years!!
Posted by: Candy | May 29, 2014 at 03:31 PM
Oh Patty, you know how I love your tutorials... one of my favs is the Fancy Card Edge with Labels Collection Framelit tutorial because it makes such an elegant looking card.
Congrats on your 7 years!!!
Posted by: Dee in Oklahoma | May 29, 2014 at 03:56 PM

Posted by: Cindy Henry | May 29, 2014 at 04:51 PM
Congratulations!! I LOVE them ALL but my favorite video was the Thinlits Flip Card. Now I will have to buy them if still available.
Posted by: Colleen | May 29, 2014 at 05:11 PM

I enjoy each and everyone of your tutorials, but I think my favorite is the Fifth Avenue Floral watercolor. I love roses and this is such a wonderful technique.
Posted by: Julie Haupt | May 29, 2014 at 05:15 PM
I had just received the Maple Leaf stamp last fall when I saw your " Magnificent Maple Leaf Resist" tutorial and I just had to try it! The cards I made were beautiful and I got many compliments on them! Thanks for the great ideas!
Posted by: Alice | May 29, 2014 at 05:26 PM
Of all your videos, I enjoy curly christmas tree with designer paper. The trees are gorgeous.
Posted by: Chris M | May 29, 2014 at 05:28 PM
I learn so much from each and every one of your tutorials!! I look forward to your blog each day because I never know what you will come up with next!! But, I guess if I really need to chose a favorite I would have to pick your watercoloring tutorials!! I really enjoy watercoloring. Congratulations on 7 years of blogging!!
Posted by: Cynthia Tuttle | May 29, 2014 at 05:33 PM
I'm just discovering all your great videos! So I'm going to say my favorites will be the swallowtail butterfly...can't wait to have 5min to myself to watch it!!! lol Thanks for the chance at blog candy!
Posted by: Jenni | May 29, 2014 at 05:44 PM
Congratulations on another great milestone!
All the videos are great & surely learned a lot.
But the one really helped a lot recently is the envelop punch board!
Thanks!
Posted by: L. Yang | May 29, 2014 at 05:48 PM
SO many great tutorials Patty!. I love the Butterfly (will get the stamp) watercolor video. I never learned how to use the water color ink brush before I quit doing my SU demonstrator. I have signed up to get notification for all your videos. I'm learning more here than with CTMH.Maybe it's because I still remember after 8 years most of the techniques and still have all the supplies from SU.
Posted by: Jan Steffen | May 29, 2014 at 05:50 PM
I can't pick just one! Love to visit your blog daily for inspiration!
Posted by: Christi E | May 29, 2014 at 05:50 PM
I have watched many of the videos a number of times, but my favorite is the File Card one! That sold me on ordering the envelope punch board! These cards are great gift card holders! Thanks for sharing and demonstrating so many wonderful techniques!
Posted by: Beth K. Mills | May 29, 2014 at 05:51 PM
You can't go wrong with watching a video that show you some good tricks! I like the gift cards using the envelope punch board as I am always making gift card holders.
Posted by: Kathy O | May 29, 2014 at 05:51 PM
Congrats on attaining another milestone! All your videos are super fantastic....hard to choose. I would say that the "circle thinlit flip card--Christmas card was a favorite...of course, anything to do with Christmas is my favorite. Thanks for sharing your time, talents, and ideas with us.
Posted by: Barb Y. | May 29, 2014 at 05:57 PM
Hi Patty! I love all your videos but my favorite was the make a fence card! I am new to Stampin Up and never thought I could create a card and actually give them to people and be proud of my work! Thanks to people like you who inspire me!
Posted by: Ellen Carlson | May 29, 2014 at 06:10 PM
Which to decide.... My most favorite, I would have to say would be the Reverse Masking Technique.
Thank you for the inspiration!

They are all wonderful tutorials but my favorite is the swallowtail butterfly! Thanks for all of your tutorials!!
Posted by: Joan F | May 29, 2014 at 06:18 PM
All of your videos are great, but I would have to choose the file folder card with the envelope punch board. I will be watching it again when i sit down to make that card. New tools can be intimidating so I find it very helpful to watch videos.
Congrats on your 7 years of blogging. That is a labor of love for sure!
Posted by: Donna S. | May 29, 2014 at 06:25 PM
This is a hard choice as your videos are super, but for sure on the top section is "Create A Fence" as I had just received this stamp and had yet to use it when I watched your video and your design was so great! Thanks!
Posted by: Joan Schonrock | May 29, 2014 at 06:41 PM
By far the file folder card............but I love them all. Thank you for sharing.
Posted by: Rita | May 29, 2014 at 07:15 PM
That's hard to answer as I've enjoyed all of your tutorial's that I have seen so far. I really, really like the Christmas Card Wreath with the Colored Rhinestone's. You would not believe how many rhinestone's that I've colored since. Thank you for sharing with us!
Posted by: Lynn G. | May 29, 2014 at 07:15 PM
I like the video on the file folder cards using the Envelope Punch Board!!! Congrats on your 7 years!
Posted by: Andrea W. | May 29, 2014 at 07:16 PM
All of your videos are sooooo good, and I love seeing the techniques - it makes it so much easier to understand. It's hard to have a favorite, but the Reverse Masking is one that I hadn't thought of and it makes such an impact. I love that I can use my tools in an additional way, and you make it so easy to understand and copy. Thanks for all the years of inspiration. I have enjoyed all your posts, from your stamping creations to your flowers, to your cruise photos and family pics (ACK -how did Jason get so grown up???) Your photography is also something I admire. Congrats!
Posted by: SusanDR | May 29, 2014 at 07:21 PM
Hi Patty.,love all your videos but I like the swallowtail butterfly with watercolor technique! Thanks...Gina F
Posted by: Gina F | May 29, 2014 at 07:29 PM
I actually love all your video's but a more recent favorite is the CREATE A FENCE using the Hardwood stamp, very cool.
Posted by: Tory E. | May 29, 2014 at 07:42 PM
EVERYTHING you do is just fabulous!!!! Your videos, training CD's (i.e. MDS), special project kits, could go on & on!!! I often refer new demos & customers alike to your website for inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing so much all the time and congratulations on your great success with all aspects of your SU business.
Posted by: Sherry Clark | May 29, 2014 at 07:45 PM
difficult to decide cuz you have many but I would have to say the hardwood background one that you made into a fence. So fun. loved it and pinned it almost immediately when I saw it! Thanks for all your creative inspiration!
Posted by: Lucy K | May 29, 2014 at 07:53 PM
Congrats on 8.5 Million Hits-this is awesome! Patty, there have been so many it is very hard to narrow it down to just one favorite. I have learned so many tips and tricks by watching your videos. If I can only choose one... Fancy Card Edge with Labels Collection Framelit.
Posted by: Mary R. | May 29, 2014 at 07:54 PM
Congrats!
I like Swallowtail watercolor videos!
