I love the folios! In fact, I’d add journaling cards to commemorate any special events, holidays, or simply thoughts of that time in the person”s life. I’d add stickers to add to the cards to denote the occasion _- birthday, seasonal holidays and activities (kite flying anyone?), weddings, and _possibly_ generic stickers of kids for thoughts about them or simply items that could represent kids or fun for anyone, like popsicles in the summer and snowmen in winter. It would be really cool to either bundle four folios, one for each season, or make a larger (thicker) one that had room enough for a year’s worth of pictures and journaling cards.
Maymay love this series, I will be making multi packs of all three for four friends. So glad of how your mind works, Shannon also, y'all make a great team. Prayed, asking God's help in finding some one who I could follow and I found one of your videos when you were doing the Heart journals, this was about 4 years ago and I have been following you since. Thank you for sharing not only your talents, but your love of God with us.
Maymay, I'm sure you get this a lot but I am so thankful for this series and the mystery card series! I live with chronic pain and my crafting has taken a back burner recently. I was inspired by your mystery card video and decided to give it a try! It felt so so good to get crafting again and it took all the guesswork and overthinking out of the process and allowed me to get back in my craft room and just create. I absolutely love how you make things bite size and digestible for us. You are a true blessing to the crafty community! 💜 I mean it. Thank you!
Awesome ideas!! I tried the mystery cards from the previous video you showed on making them. It's so fun to see what they look like whenever you flip them over! Also, here's a fun tip....on your packages with the bag toppers, if you put the sticky sealed side at the bottom instead of at the top, the recipient can open it from the bottom to remove items. That way they won't be damaging the cute bag topper. Hope this makes sense. 🙂 Thanks so much for always being so inspiring! Truly enjoying this series!! ❤️ Hugs 🥰 Suzy
OMG Maymay WOW. Your projects and truly Magnificent and sooooo GORGEOUS!! Love the little folios…gosh definitely a Spectacular gift and it will be one cherished keepsake!! The cards are so Gorgeous as well and your stamp are all that and a bag of chips!!! man Oh Man girl it’s so fun to watch you in creative action as your create away one impeccable project after another and you definitely never cease to amaze!! Thanks for your Outstanding Tutorial and sharing your Tremendously Terrific, & Techniques!! YOU SO ROCK !!!! Joan Smith
Loving this series! Having gifts on hand is great. I also love all the ideas you show don't require any special kind of paper collection. We can use our stash. All the ideas are great but my favorite is the folio. Thank you!!
All three of these ideas are amazing! I love them and we'll use all of them I love paper crafting and I especially enjoy watching your creative talents.
That folio was just so totally delightful! And I love your tip on how to turn paper over so you can’t see the picture… Just cut the paper and you have a beautiful card on the other side. Perfect!
I love the folio. I will be making some for my families summer trips and river weekends. YES, PLEASE DO A DEDICATED VIDEO FOR THE FOLIO SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO FOLLOW! Thank you MayMay, you ROCK.
I just whipped up the folio before church (waiting on my husband to finish getting beautiful) and will decorate it when I get home! I keep opening and closing it...so fantastical! Thank you! I'm loving this series and will be making EVERYTHING!!!!!!
May May, I've been following your channel for years. The way you choose to teach makes it so easy to follow! AND, your ideas are amazing! Tyfs sharing your gift of creativity with us! Blessings!
I love that little folder. And I like the simplicity of putting the magnet under a sticker. Those really turned out good, and when finished with the colors and all, it looked as if you had spent hours coordinating that! (It would have taken me hours to decide) Good neat job!
I am LOVING this series. I’ll be making ALL of these with varying themes. Such fabulous gift ideas. They’ll make great teacher gifts too. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. 💕
Oh my goodness I just learned something learn something new I've always wanted to learn how to make those folios. I enjoyed the ones that are premaid but I can't afford that right now I love how you showed that and I would like you to do some more though that is perfect even adding more. I have photos after photos after photos photos and just haven't been able to able to decide how I'm gonna where I'm gonna put them. And. And if I have to have surgery and the next month or so this will be able to give me something to do or look forward to doing while I'm laid up. Beautiful ideas with cards with the tags I am so pleased with this lesson or should I say video. Thank you so much for Sharon such a beautiful idea. And yes if you could do more of showing how to make those folios without buying the pre made ones I just love it.
I love the folio. We are going camping this week with the grandbaby (1st trip) and I want to make one to give to his Mom so she can make a keepsake for them. Love this. I love the other ideas as well, thank you!
I personally use so few tags that I am less likely to make them for someone else. I make a ton of cards already. So, the winner for me is the folio. They are cute, quick, and can be made for anyone. And, if I have them, I could even fill them with photos for family members. Great gift ideas!
I have never had such a productive day as what I did today with your cards and this folio. From your gift/stash series. I made 2 of these folios and 4 sets of cards. I also spent time with hubby and went to the pool. Amazing!
Loved the cards and the pic pad. Wonderful ideas. I want to make those 2, I have been crafting for about 17 yrs but recently (6mo) ago I lost my husband to covid and my crafting took a sudden stop, zI watched you a great deal of the time, perhaps today seeing this video will spark the desire to start again, thank you for sharing. I have loved all your videos, keep up inspiring ❤
Thank you! You made that folio so I could make one. You made it look absolutely easy. Way easier than I’ve seen anyone make. Yes, I will be pre making them. 😊
This is a fantastic series! I really love the photo album. It's going to be great for teachers gifts, new mothers, vacation, kids sporting events, holidays, I could go on and on. A set of cards is always a welcome gift. I normally include 18 sentiment tags with a set of 12 cards. This way the recipient can add the tag they need. They are more likely to use all 12 cards this way.
Great gift ideas. The photo folio is special. Handmade Cards are always welcomed by non crafters, and I have the fun of making simple ones like yours. Thankyou.
This is the BEST series any crafter has ever done on RUclips! And the mystery cards are fantastic. I pulled out all the paper I didn't know what to do with and they are turning out beautiful! Thank you so much MayMay 💕
Love the folio! I became obsessed with folios after the winter folio class and have tried envelopes, making my own templates - anything I can think of - to re-create folios like the 49 and Market. I love this one and even though you made it using bright colors so viewers could see, I decided to do my first one with bright colors - my favorite color combo orange, hot pink and yellow! Then, I'll do solids. Thank you!
I've just recently started watching you in earnest. These "make and store" projects are the answer I've been looking for. I have had a number of projecst never done because I didn't have time for the whole process. Thank you so very much.
I have had so much fun with mystery cuts!! After you other video I pulled out a bunch of those challenging papers and had a cutting party. I, too used the tops and bottoms. Brilliant.
You have outdid yourself.. love all these… 😍. I spend so much of the time over thinking making a card it has taken my over an hour or more for just 1 card. I end up turning what I thought was a simple card into one of those fussy cards😂. I will definitely try ALL these ideas.. thank you so much
Hey Maymay! I absolutely love this series and the folio is my favorite so far. I can see baby folios, graduation folios, Disney folios, retirement folios... ALL sorts of things! Thank you for all you do for us Made-Its!!
My jaw was still on the floor from watching Part 1 of this amazing series and I'm still not able to pick it up! I am so grateful for your ingenuity and practicality. I will be making all three of these, with the photo folios at the top of my list. Thank you, MayMay and Shannon, for such welcome inspiration!
May May! You've done it again. I get so much inspiration from your channel, but this time I had to let you know. I've already assembled two bases for that folio and pre-cut 14 more. I love it so much! Thank you for these quick and simple projects.
I love love love these ideas!!! The folio is awesome & I definitely will be making some. Thanks for sharing these projects & ideas. Please make more like this!
I have absolutely loved this series the 12 by 12 hard to use paper has been so exciting me. I enjoyed the tags I think on the back of the birthday tags I would make a pocket for a gift card and a special note. Thank you for all of the boxes and the folio too. You are the bomb May may Helms.
I love all the projects! For now the mystery cards and folios will be first. Enjoying this series so very much. Thanks for all you do to keep us crafting. 😊💕
im glad you didn't totally stop making albums, that is what i think i'll be making. i do a girls weekend every year and make albums for them afterwards and doing it beforehand will really help. this will help me use up the solid as well as patterned paper
I am always so reluctant to make gifts ahead of time. It feels impersonal to me. I feel like my hand made gifts should be highly personal both to the individual and to current events in their life. Maybe I should just get over this feeling; doing so would prevent so much stress. These ideas are so good. I could make any of them, but the one I am most likely to make is the tag sets. The tag sets make good gifts for just about anyone and you could make a bunch of the packaged tag sets for someone else to give as gifts.
I've been using the Mystery Card with the papers that I haven't liked in the past and it's a GAME CHANGER! Thank you so much for showing us this technique! I have note cards now when that was something that I was lacking.
So many great ideas and so practical too. I can see myself making seasonal mystery card sets to give away during the holidays. A lot of people I know really only send or give cards at that time of year. It would be extra nice to create a matching box to store them in. I have way too much winter scrapbook paper for someone living in California. ⛄️
I know this is 2 years old but I still love them!!!💜💜💜

Your creativity amazes me every single time I watch your videos ❤️
Brooke you have more talent than you give yourself for. Great job
I learnt so much today!!! I am a 3D card making girl and sometimes find it difficult to make easy cards. This was very inspiring!! Thank you

You asked us to pick our favorite…can’t do it. I pick all 3 please. Same with part one. Great job, thank you for your creativity and time.

I would love to see a complete tutorial for the folio. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas in this series!
I love the folios!!! I'm going to make them for my craft shows. I think they will sell so well!
That folio was just so totally delightful! And I love your tip on how to turn paper over so you can’t see the picture… Just cut the paper and you have a beautiful card on the other side. Perfect!
The folio idea is so adaptable . Set the cogs turning.😊🤗
I love this series and can’t wait till the next one!
Omg!!!!I love all the ideas, you truly are talented, thank you for teaching us what to do with 8x11 paper❤
I would love a class for the folio or another video featuring this folio. I love this! Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the folio. I will be making some for my families summer trips and river weekends. YES, PLEASE DO A DEDICATED VIDEO FOR THE FOLIO SO IT WILL BE EASIER TO FOLLOW! Thank you MayMay, you ROCK.
Thank you so much for introducing me to mystery cards. It is my favorite way to use 12x12 border or wreath sheets. The results are always stunning.
I enjoyed watching and the Photo Folio is my favorite
I just whipped up the folio before church (waiting on my husband to finish getting beautiful) and will decorate it when I get home! I keep opening and closing it...so fantastical! Thank you! I'm loving this series and will be making EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Love, love this!!! I love all the ideas!!
I have been loving these series. I have been having fun making them. I think I’m going to are all of these.
Absolutely clever to the nth degree! That sentiment stamping mass production I would never have thought of-genius.
OMGoodness!!!! My sisters are coming down for my daughter’s graduation. I am making these for gifts for sharing our celebration.
Love the idea also of the van covering Tha magnets. So cute instead of round scraps. What a great idea.
This is a great series. I love making the mystery cards. I will definitely try the folio and tags. Thank you.
Love the mystery cards and the folios! I’d love to see this folio in a tutorial 🤞🏻
I love that little folder. And I like the simplicity of putting the magnet under a sticker. Those really turned out good, and when finished with the colors and all, it looked as if you had spent hours coordinating that! (It would have taken me hours to decide) Good neat job!
So great! Yes yes yes would love a video dedicated to the folios. Thanks for sharing your wonderful inspiration 👏👍
I am LOVING this series. I’ll be making ALL of these with varying themes. Such fabulous gift ideas. They’ll make great teacher gifts too. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us. 💕

The folio really got me. I could see making minis if this too. Love the way you cut the card fronts out if 12x12, perfect for me as I never can decide

Agree, seeing a full video on this would be awesome! Your teaching style is great!
Great gift ideas. The photo folio is special. Handmade Cards are always welcomed by non crafters, and I have the fun of making simple ones like yours. Thankyou.
These prep ahead vidare great, gives me something to do when I don't know what to do but need to create, and finally use some of my extra paper! 💛💚
Love these ideas!! I love the folio idea!!
This is the BEST series any crafter has ever done on RUclips! And the mystery cards are fantastic. I pulled out all the paper I didn't know what to do with and they are turning out beautiful! Thank you so much MayMay 💕
I'm loving these ideas on both videos about using papers.
Helping gift giving.
Thank you ❤️
Amazing ideas! The photo book is my favorite. I would like to see a video on that one by itself. The cards and tags are second and third. Love them.
I absolutely love all of these ideas. I will be doing all of them going forward. I love all of your ideas Maymay.
Love how easy you make it for us to understand and see especially using 3 colors for folio base, made it so easy to follow, thank you so much!
This series is great! These projects are great ideas and simple enough for a rookie like me. Thank you 😊
Love your tutorials! May May you explain everything so clearly. Fabulous ideas. Wish I lived closer to the store. Thank you
Thank you for mentioning the stash buster in the swap video. I FOUND IT YEAH 😜🤪🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I would like a separate tutorial on the folio in real time. It is so cute. Thanks for sharing.
I need to make all of these. It's hard to say because I love all your videos, but this may be my favorite series ever 💕
Wonderful simple easy ideas for great personal gifts. I love them. Thanks Maymay ❤️🥰😘❣️
I love these "use your stash videos". You asked if we would like to see the folio you are making for Shannon in real time. Yes Please!!!
I have had so much fun with mystery cuts!! After you other video I pulled out a bunch of those challenging papers and had a cutting party. I, too used the tops and bottoms. Brilliant.
Love!!! Love the card sets! Never can go wrong with a folio! Thank you!
You have outdid yourself.. love all these… 😍. I spend so much of the time over thinking making a card it has taken my over an hour or more for just 1 card. I end up turning what I thought was a simple card into one of those fussy cards😂. I will definitely try ALL these ideas.. thank you so much

I will make a folio. So nice to have a simple option for a smaller folio.
I see myself making each of these. Thank you
I have absolutely loved this series the 12 by 12 hard to use paper has been so exciting me.

A separate video for the folio would be great. Much easier to find when starting to make them.
I just love this series, I have so much scrap to use up. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Going to make folios tomorrow ! One for each one of my (9) grandkids! Love this series Maymay!!! Thank you!
I love the notecard pack and the folio for sure! Even the tags are a maybe.
I am always so reluctant to make gifts ahead of time. It feels impersonal to me. I feel like my hand made gifts should be highly personal both to the individual and to current events in their life. Maybe I should just get over this feeling; doing so would prevent so much stress.

Love the folios and would welcome a video on it. What a perfect gift for a new baby!
Omg I have so much paper !!! Thank you for these scrap busters!!!
I'm just lovin this series. I've been making mystery cards into packs for gifts this week. Tags and folios next! Excellent stuff.
Well of course I love the mystery cards but love the folio a lot. Thanks for great ideas.
The cards and the folio I can see myself making. What a great series this is. Thank you!
I've been using the Mystery Card with the papers that I haven't liked in the past and it's a GAME CHANGER! Thank you so much for showing us this technique! I have note cards now when that was something that I was lacking.
