Where is the September “1 kit 10 cards” video?
A question I have been getting so many times each day!
This is a VERY POPULAR monthly feature on my blog that everyone is waiting and I will keep making it since it is so much fun!
Unfortunately this time the kit isn’t home yet 🙁
Hope it isn’t lost, which never happened before in all the years I have been working with it. Maybe it is stuck somewhere between USA and Greece waiting to finally come to me.
In any case, if it finally arrives I will make and post the 10 cards.
On another note…
I will be away to Barcelona, Spain. I am teaching three art journal classes there this weekend in 100×100 manualidades. So excited to see Diana and Lourdes again (the sweet owners) and to meet the girls taking the classes. What’s even greater? I have combined it with weekly family vacations! So hubby and the kids are coming with me!
Once I come back I will consider my summer break coming to an end. Schools open on the 12th of September, kids go back to their usual schedule and so do I! Which means I’ll start posting regularly again. So more how-to videos are coming featuring new products and with many surprises!
Questions & Answers
I plan to make a Q&A video on YouTube answering as many of your questions as I can. So just ask in the comments area below!
Glad you are having a great summer break but am looking forward to when you start posting regularly again 🙂
Vicky , I love watching your videos , your an inspiration , thank you so much X
Thank you Vicky for the news and for all your great craft creations ! Enjoy your trip in Spain ! Good luck for September !
Would you post any video or photos of your three art journal that you will teach in Spain? I would also like to ask that, will come to India in future for your art journal classes because I’m of 14 and I would also like to join it. I also want to be creative like you because you inspired me a lot. (PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS MAM).
Hope the kit arrives soon! I look forward to watching it every month. I get so many great ideas from you!! Have a wonderful work/vacation trip! It sounds fabulous!

A late kit! I can’t believe it! But, leave it to us Americans who can’t even send stuff out on time within our own country! Myself included! LOL!
I am so glad you have been having such a wonderful time this summer, Ms. Vicky! You deserve every bit of the blessings being bestowed on you for what you provide for others on your channel! With that said, the only question I have for is something that I’m constantly struggling with: Perfectinism.
How does one stop perfectionism from killing their creativity? It cause me to over think about how to design something and if I sit in that state long enough, I get a headache! LOL!
Anywho, I can’t wait until you get to sit and rest and unload all the creative inspirations you’ve gathered!
So excited to see what you do next. I am in the middle of your Craftsy class right now. Like you, I have limited time at the moment as school just began for me last week. As soon as I am in the swing of things I hope to start creating again.
Sure I have a question…I see that you use gel Medium used as a glue alot, while other artist use Modpodge or the popular watered down glue to have a non-pourious surface. Why do you prefer the one u use most?
my pages stick together sometimes…i have used all 3…so i would really like to make an art journal page and not have it ruined by sticking together.
Thanks…looking forward to your Q&A!
I’m in the U.S. I haven’t received mine, either.
Just because I am a SimonSaysStamp artist I get the kits ahead of time … but this time is super late!
Well if you soon don’t get it, I hope Simon will send out another one! I look forward to your 10 cards every month! Sounds like you are having a fabulous summer! Enjoy! Looking forward to all of your upcoming videos and your Q and A! You are an inspiration, Vicky! Enjoy your classes and family vacation!
Hi Vicky,
Love watching your videos and your art journals are beautiful. I’m new to art journalling so my art supplies are limited but I’m try to buy a few items a month. Could you do an art journal with beginner art journalists in mind? Thanks, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the update Vicky! I always look forward to your “10 cards” videos. Wish you all the best in Barcelona, I always wanted to visit that city! Have fun!
Hi Vicky, I love the 10 cards series and your journal posts and your weekend posts and all you do! But I do have a question: why are your journal pages so much “plainer” (less background work, less stenciling and raised embossing, less layering etc.)? Is it lack of time or did people complain it was too complex for them has your taste changed? I loved the long, complex, layered and nuanced earlier journal pages. Fortunately your Craftsy class (I love it) was the full deal. Thank you for all you do.
School starts September 12th? Oh my goodness … reminds me of when I was a kid. In Texas, near Dallas, school started August 3rd. We get out June 2. It irks. Kids don’t get the joys of summer that I used to have. I love your you tube channel and have been a long time fan. Enjoy what’s left of your summer. Sounds like a fun adventure in Barcelona!
Hi Vicky! I’m also a fan of your 10 card series so I’m looking forward to the next one. I took your art journal course on Craftsy and loved it!
My question for you is, are you self taught or professionally trained?
Enjoy your workshops in Spain!
So happy that you are taking time this summer for yourself, Vicky! You need that to rejuvenate! Keeping my fingers crossed that your kit arrives soon, because I love to watch you make all those cards every month! But I do love your art journal pages so much more, and hope to see more of them once your life settles down! Happy teaching in Spain!
I just LOVE your videos. What I would like to know—–what is your craft room like? I never seem to have enough room to store the products that I would like.
Hello Vicky, Addicted to your videos and am willing to wait for your next one whenever the kit reaches. Won’t lie but I have surely become more crafty and ‘creative’ in my life and you are the inspiration and guide. Your approach is very mature even to smallest things you make which makes it extra special. I do try to remember that when I take up any project at home. Simple and timeless seems to be my motto these days. Do visit India sometime if you already haven’t. I live in Vadodara; Gujarat (West India). It’s heavy on culture here so you may get an opportunity to do a workshop with local artists. I’d be happy to join then.
And I live in Chandigarh near Delhi.?
I can see some amazing art pages inspired by Barcelona! Have a great time! Will look forward to snapshots on Instagram!
Love everything you create. Just cause I have to wait will only make it more special.
How does a beginner know which products to use with other products? I have a hard time with journaling because I don’t’ know which ink/marker/paint, etc to use with other products, etc. Like some smear and some don’t, etc. I hope that makes sense. Is there a list somewhere?
Wish you all the best in Barcelona, and i love everything you create! Have fun!
I just love your journaling and card making. You are just amazing, so inspirational and i love your accent. 🙂 My only question would be if you will be doing a video of your craft room in the future? Have fun with your family and enjoy your vacation in Spain. You deserve it!
I’ve had my eye open for the 10 cards video too. Always a favorite.
Have a great time on your trip, I’m sure the people in your class will love it.
Questions: Do you have training in art or have you learned all this fabulous stuff on your own?
Have you always been into art or just as an adult?
Do you ever sell your art? Whether it be cards or other projects?
Can’t wait to see your Q&A video.
Thanks!
Thanks you for the update. Love all your post, but I will
confess that the 10 cards from the kit has help me so much
to begin to see how to use the supplies I have…so I really
look forward to it & do not worry about buying the kit
anymore, because I am learning so much by watching & then
doing. Have a wonderful business trip/vacation. It is just so
great that your family is going with you. Safe & happy trip.
Enjoy the sights and sound of Barcelona! It’s one of my favorite cities, Vicky! Keep on spreading the love of art-journaling and card-making! You always do amazing things.
Thank you Vicky for all your fabulous video’s, you and they are inspirational, and so elegant…!
Have a wonderful time in Barcelona with your family and class! (Wish I was there too!) But I can view your video’s and I’m glad I found them about 5 days ago, and have been watching most of them, just awesome…!
I do have a question, on the die machine, can you give some information on how to use it?
Can any die from any of the different stamp/die companies be used in the die machine?
Thank you so much for all you do for us! I hope you have had a wonderful relaxing time while on your vacation.
Cheers Pat D
Uh oh Vicky, I hope that kit shows up…I do look forward to your fun and creative card series! Enjoy your time in Barcelona!!!
HAPPY Travels to Barcelona 🙂
It should be wonderful combining creative time with family time!!!
I just reeived mine yesterday, I was beginning to worry mine was lost too!
Hi Vicky, This is the first time I am writing to you. I love all your journal pages and the 10 cards series. I have watched your Craftsy class. This is the first month I have purchased the card kit. I was worried you would not be doing the cards anymore. I am glad to read you will be making them as soon as your kit arrives. Have a wonderful time in Spain. My questions are:– when you use baby wipes do you use them straight from the package or do you allow them to dry out a little first? Are some brands better than others? Do the chemicals or lotions on the wipes make a difference to the projects? Thanks for being you Vicky
Yes, I have missed your 10 cards series this month. I am always amazed at your creativity. I have enough trouble coming up with one or two card ideas. Enjoy your vacation and we will see what you come up with when you get back and get your kit. Thanks.
Hope to see your video up soon. I love your card making videos the most, since I am a seasoned card maker. I’m always looking for new inspiration. I love your paper piecing especially. Are you going to make more Christmas cards this year? Thanks for all your inspiration and beautiful work! Have a great time in Barcelona. ..
Have a wonderful work/ holiday in Spain. I will look forward to your SSS kit cards . I like what you do with them. I was finding my art journaling book was proving to be too much of a strain for me so I am now making large cards using my art journalling skills. I am liking the Penny Black stamps which are adaptable for cards. Thank you for all your videos.
Love this series as well. Can’t wait to see what you do whenever that may be. I have yet to do an art journal page/book but after seeing so many of yours I want to . My plan is to try it this winter when I have more time alone to work on it as you have inspired me greatly. Would love to see a Q & A and maybe you could give a quick run down on the basic info for a beginner to get started. I am sure you have covered that somewhere but lately I haven’t had time to look…
Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent with us and enjoy Barcelona!
Love your work. Can wait as however long required for the 10 card 1 kit series!
Love your work. Can wait as long as required for the 10 card 1 kit series!
So glad you are enjoying your summer. We are going back on schedule next week here.
I can’t wait for you to get your Sept. kit, it is such a beautiful one. I haven’t make a card yet since I want to watch your video first lol I will wait one more week ?
Hi Vicky! I am one of the lucky girls that will have the chance to meet you for 2 workshops on Saturday in Barcelona! So excited!!! I can’t wait!
Have a safe trip, we are waiting you!
Your videos are the ones I look forward to most – I love your ideas and find your presentation easy to listen to and follow. Really hope the September kit gets to you soon. Enjoy your time in Spain.
Vicky, in the Q&A video, could you tell us how do you start making cards and the art journaling? And if it’s not asking so much, could you show us your art journal notebook? Thaks so much for your inspiration!
I have so many questions! What are the benefits for using gel medium instead of just regular glue? How long does it take you to do a journal page without the video? Do you sell your art? what is your favorite crafting medium? Favorite tool? What artists/crafter influenced your work when you first started out? thanks for the doing a Q & A!
I am so glad that you have not quit posting videos . I truly enJOY your work and I have learned a lot from you !
Have a Wonderful Summer end break ! Will watch for you again mid September!
Have a beautiful vacation with your family! We’ll be waiting for you when you get back and hopefully by then you will have September’s Kit! and probably October’s too. Have a great time
and see you when you get back!!
I’m another one waiting for the September card kit post! thanks for letting us know, and enjoy the last few days of vacation.
Vicky, I love your art journal videos and the cardmaking too. Thanks for inspiring me to create!
Vicky, Mary Here with another question. When you make shaker cards the clear plastic you use for the cover of the shaker shape—is it thick or thin? Can I use the packages from cakes and pastries from the grocery store? They often have flat areas that can be cut to size but are fairly thick like a plastic water bottle. Or, should I use the thinner window from a box of something like pasta? Thanks for all your wonderful instructions.
Hi Vicky love all your videos… love these cards! Thank you for the time and effort you put into demonstrating your art for us 😀
