Kelly I LOVE❤ your life stories. Never change. I love how you flawlessly switch back and forth story to card. I LOVE your art! Thank you so much for your time and these videos
I do miss the days of ‘lightest to darkest, darkest to lightest’ probably bc the vids were longer. You usually upload quite late where I am so I generally watch as I’m winding down and looking for something relaxing to end the day. I’m here for storytime, it’s your USP. ❤
I love both! Storytime really reminds me that we are all so much more alike than the differences people try to focus on but I love all of the new (to me) techniques you have been teaching. Even the algorithm knows I'll be upset if your video isn't at the top of my feed 😉.
Kelly, I have come to really enjoy your story time and your copic coloring is really superior. Lots of technique videos on RUclips - but nobody can tell your stories and few can copic color to your level. So to me that is what I come for. That being said, I recognize that this is now your full-time job and you are branching out with your own designs and representing different company’s products so technique videos may be part of the drill for those products. So my suggestion is to do what you need to grow your business/job but please do not lose the essential skills that make the viewer want to tune in and stay committed to your brand.
I love all your videos. But girl I love the storytime. One of my fav things about “our” channel. And as you know that was something I did on my channel and when I found you I felt at home. My people LOVE storytime. ❤
I love seeing your many talents with other techniques, and I learn a lot from them. But I also love your stories and feel that they set you apart from other card makers on YT. You just have a special knack of telling stories that is engaging and makes us smile. I think you can strike a perfectly good balance with mixing it up as you have been doing: do some cards with more in-depth technique and no story time, but also do a longer coloring video of a single-layer card and include story time on those cards. Maybe for every two story times, do one technique card. You are so good with demonstrating new techniques that I feel those videos are just as valuable as those that are more amenable to talking about what is going on in your life. Your stories are priceless and very entertaining :).
Thank you so much for going into details on what and why you use the Copics you do. You are the ONLY one who does that. I now use my Copics more because of all your help you give out.
Kelly we are all here for you. I love it all and that is why I have kept coming back for so long. I love having a laugh with you, learning from you and supporting you in our similar life battles. Don’t change a thing! Take care T x 🇦🇺
Fabulous card, Kelly! To answer your question (from my opinion), I think the blend of videos you have been doing so far is just fine. I come for the coloring, the learning and the story time. Now, do I miss story time when there isn’t extra time in the video? Absolutely! It’s a very unique part of your channel that I get excited for. But it doesn’t keep me from coming back to see what you make in the next video because I genuinely enjoy what you have to share anyway. If you want some concrete feedback, you can also try labeling future videos specifically for “coloring + story time” and the others with whatever you are teaching, or focus story time on specific times of the week? This might help you pinpoint trends in the likes/views/comments that way. Hope this helps! ❤
I have watched you for years, and learned so much from you. I have also loved hearing your story time and hearing about you and Peanut, before you re-married. Then hearing about your love for your husband, and your family life. You feel like an old friend, and I’d hate to lose that part of your story. I can learn while I listen to your stories. Both are wonderful!
Me I'd really like a little more back to coloring with the copics etc with story time which is what drew me to you to begin with and I find I'm really missing that instruction as I could actually get it when you did it and explained it and I was just starting to believe I could maybe do it when things changed. I still like learning these new things from you and I understand it better when you teach it but there are soooo many other videos doing tons of techniques to watch for most of that and for me ,very selfishly, I still really really need all that teaching and reinforcement of how to color and shade things and I alive more story time. Also being able to CASE a Kelly card and have it come out any good makes me feel pretty accomplished 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤I will always be a number 1 fan of Kelly hoo Hoo Taylor 😘😘😘😘🤣🤣😂🤣😂
Kelly I rarely do Copic coloring, but I have learned so much from your coloring videos. I feel that what little coloring I do has improved because of your instruction. As for actual cards, I prefer cards with more die cutting. However, I do miss story time when you don't have time to include it. So I like both types of videos. I think you do a good job of balancing the various techniques and videos, so just do whatever feeds your soul at the moment, and we will enjoy being along for whatever ride you take us on.
I do miss the storytimes but am enjoying seeing a lot of different techniques, and to see you also stretching and growing in your creative, artistic expression. Maybe some of both kinds of videos? Maybe for every so many technique cards you do, you have some that are more coloring and geared to storytime, or vice-versa. Whatever you decide to do, I'm here for it, Kelly! Hope you and yours are all doing well. Thank you for all you do and for keeping it real.
Hi Kelly and family. I've been watching your channel for years, and watching you grow your talents has been amazing! Just stay true to you, and you'll find your balance.
💖💖💖Hi Kelly, I too have been watching you for years and your videos are always the first ones I look for. Back when you were doing lots of Copic tutorials, i didnt even have any! I still tuned in for story time. You are so genuine and hilarious, never afraid to laugh at yourself and share your mistakes and how you fix them. The connection we have with you in this community is so different to so many other card makers. I just love it ... specially the times you make me laugh out loud! I am loving watching you branch out since making this your fulltime job (great decision by the way!) And we all understand that as you try new things that involves more instruction and less time to chat. I love learning from you too, so I will be here whatever you do and I am confident you will still find opportunities to bring us into your family and make us laugh. Thank you so much for all your wonderful inspiration! God has given you an amazing gift and we are blessed to share in it! 💕💕💕
I think what appeals to me the most is that this is a card that doesn't say male or female recipient. I love how you mix stuff together and come up with a winner every time. Well, maybe not everytime but no one is perfect lol
I feel the same as the majority of commenters, so far. Keep mixing things up with new techniques plus throw in our beloved story time whenever it fits your demo. 🥰
I do enjoy story time, but I truly enjoy technique videos. I'm not good at coloring, for a number of reasons. So I appreciate being able to add techniques to my arsenal.
Although it's true, I love the techniques I do find myself missing the storytime. You are an awesome colorist and card maker. It's a hard decision but I vote for more coloring and storytime.
I totally miss story time! You made me laugh every video 😂 Your cards are amazing, and you had a good balance of teaching and life. Bring back at least a little story time. TFS💜🎨
I love to hear all of your stories-sometimes I just burst out laughing, but you are also an amazing teacher. I love to see all of your new tips and tricks (and sometimes even old ones repeated when you haven’t done something in a while for those of us who may not have been with you from the beginning. ) I think you’ll figure out a balance, but if something big is happening, feel free to add a little time to the “teaching” video to fill us in. You know us diehard Kelly fans will stay on. 😊 To those who want to just learn, you can let them know where to go in the video to skip story time. I think you may have done that a couple of times already.
Missing the story time so much. I enjoy watching you make cards but there are a lot of card makers out there...only one Kelly Taylor with her humor and sensitivity.
I have been watching your videos for years. I have learned so much from you, thank you. Love new techniques, but I do miss story time. Keep up the wonderful work ❤️
I really enjoy all Kelly videos! I love learning how you do things & hearing about you and your sweet family! The variety is great! I remember being on pins & needles waiting for the next video when you were talking us about your wedding! Oh! & I got to learn some coloring tips! Lol! Your allergies sound like they are chilling out a bit 🙏 I here for it all my friend!❤❤
I LOVE this card! I wish I could choose between story time and more techniques. I enjoy story time very much but also find your teaching of new techniques interesting. I can say that lately I think you have had a nice balance between both.
Beautiful card! Of course I really love all your work to be honest😊 I love story time and hearing about your family way better than I would music. I am a fan of you and Dawn. Thank you for sharing your talent♥️
I’m truly enjoying the mix of techniques! I love story time but also understand that you will fit it in as you are able. You’re doing a great job!!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us ❤
I chose to follow you because you're a genuine person who is not afraid to share the ups and downs of life. who also happens to love card making as much as I do. So, you do you boo, I learn something from you no matter what you chose to teach. xoxo.
You teach so much content with the techniques and blending, you have taught me so much. I also love story time, hearing about how the little ones and the dogs are doing is part of your / our channel now. Alternating between the two would be great 😊
Like many have said, I enjoy the technique videos because I always take something away from them even if I don’t have the product you are using. Although, I do enjoy your beautiful coloring and story time. You do you, girl!! ❤❤
Meh, I'm down for whatever you feel like doing; I love the story time and the more instructional bits. I think it comes down to what creativity/amount of time you have in the tank.
I love the mix of the techniques and story telling in other video’s. I think you have found a great balance in that. I really love both, watch you color and the story telling. But I am also really learning a lot of the cards were you show the different techniques you used.
I really love story time. Maybe you could do a little technique chatter, then story time. I love watching you create and I learn from seeing what you do. Cheers
Gorgeous card! I absolutely love your videos and enjoy storytime. You have a gift of teaching techniques and I have learned a lot from you. So a balance of both would be awesome. No matter what you do I will always watch you!
I love story time, but I love seeing crafter's different methods of accomplishing their beautiful cards... do both... storytime with coloring, and bring on the new stuff too! Just a note from the peanut gallery :)
I love what you show us but also enjoy story time. I don't feel you should change. If there are videos that have more teaching and not much story time then that's okay but if there is time for story time then that's okay, also. I like what you're doing now and don't feel you should change how you are. You do "you". We're still going to watch and enjoy what you show us. Thanks so much.
Hi Kelly, I love your story time videos. Lots of channels teach techniques but only you do story time (that I’m aware of) so I’d be sad if story time disappeared. But it’s also been fun to watch you explore new techniques on screen, so I’d prefer a balance between the two.
I learn so much from you with all of the techniques you show. Love story time as well. Maybe just a mixture of both......some coloring where you have story time and some that are mainly technique driven!
I love the techniques and always learn something from your video’s. I LOVE story time as well - makes your channel feel like “home” and I’ve been watching for many moons now. I always enjoy coloring and I’ve learned so many new things watching. Some techniques aren’t appealing to me - but I love that you try many different things. Thanks for all you do!!!
I love the balance you have with story time and also teaching. Your channel is great bc your personality and also your cards. Great combo of it all! Love the burlap die in this video! Will have to check it out. Thanks for another great video!
I do love story time, but I also love the techniques as well. Just split it up❤
I've learned. a lot from your coloring and your card techniques.Yet, story time makes me feel connected. Do what you love and we'll be here with you!
Love your videos and I’d hate to loose story time. It makes me feel like we are friends who craft together. 😊
Absolutely!
Agree.❤
Kelly I LOVE❤ your life stories. Never change. I love how you flawlessly switch back and forth story to card. I LOVE your art! Thank you so much for your time and these videos
Can I heart this 50 x’s. You said this perfectly, perfect! I agree the flawless switching back and forth story to card is a God given gift. 👏
I do miss the days of ‘lightest to darkest, darkest to lightest’ probably bc the vids were longer. You usually upload quite late where I am so I generally watch as I’m winding down and looking for something relaxing to end the day. I’m here for storytime, it’s your USP. ❤
I think you’ve fallen into a good balance that is authentically “you”. I’d imagine that mixing it up helps you to stay engaged as well. ❤
Very much this
I love both! Storytime really reminds me that we are all so much more alike than the differences people try to focus on but I love all of the new (to me) techniques you have been teaching. Even the algorithm knows I'll be upset if your video isn't at the top of my feed 😉.
Kelly, I have come to really enjoy your story time and your copic coloring is really superior. Lots of technique videos on RUclips - but nobody can tell your stories and few can copic color to your level. So to me that is what I come for. That being said, I recognize that this is now your full-time job and you are branching out with your own designs and representing different company’s products so technique videos may be part of the drill for those products. So my suggestion is to do what you need to grow your business/job but please do not lose the essential skills that make the viewer want to tune in and stay committed to your brand.
Don’t change anything. I have learned a lot from you. But I also enjoy story time.
I love all your videos. But girl I love the storytime. One of my fav things about “our” channel. And as you know that was something I did on my channel and when I found you I felt at home. My people LOVE storytime. ❤
You're the best!
I really like everything you do because you do change it up. But I also tune in for the story time.
I love seeing your many talents with other techniques, and I learn a lot from them. But I also love your stories and feel that they set you apart from other card makers on YT. You just have a special knack of telling stories that is engaging and makes us smile.

You are so good with demonstrating new techniques that I feel those videos are just as valuable as those that are more amenable to talking about what is going on in your life. Your stories are priceless and very entertaining :).
I'm enjoying the shift to more techniques in your card making. The added diversity more than makes up for limited story time.
LOVE this card. I enjoy story-time, but I seem to always learn something from you, even after 3-4 years of this!
Thank you so much for going into details on what and why you use the Copics you do. You are the ONLY one who does that. I now use my Copics more because of all your help you give out.
Kelly we are all here for you. I love it all and that is why I have kept coming back for so long. I love having a laugh with you, learning from you and supporting you in our similar life battles. Don’t change a thing!

T x 🇦🇺
I ❤ anything you do!!! But I do love me some story time!! ❤❤❤
I have loved your videos for years and am very grateful that you don't play music. I love storytime but also like the techniques. You do you ❤.

PS Kelly this video is the best demo of this die set I’ve seen so far. Outstanding.
Love❤❤❤❤ another beautiful card.....and what is a Kelly tutorial without a little storytelling...... don't change a thing,,,
As to the question you raised, A blend of both would be great. I am enjoying the new techniques and also enjoy the story time videos too.
I like having both. I feel you can have story time when it can fit in depending on the card you are making.
Very cool background! I am totally a fan of techniques with story time. Totally like crafting with friends and just adds that extra to your videos ❤
I have watched you for years, and learned so much from you. I have also loved hearing your story time and hearing about you and Peanut, before you re-married. Then hearing about your love for your husband, and your family life. You feel like an old friend, and I’d hate to lose that part of your story. I can learn while I listen to your stories.

I love story time ,I think you give a good balance of entertainment and teaching
I love you story time! I love learning about coloring, shading, etc.
I would like both story time and learning lol🤪
I love learning new techniques like your press n seal and coloring. 65 years old and still learning how to color.
Kelly I rarely do Copic coloring, but I have learned so much from your coloring videos. I feel that what little coloring I do has improved because of your instruction.

I enjoy both, techniques and story time. So do what you want.
I miss story time! Love your card making with story time.
I do miss the storytimes but am enjoying seeing a lot of different techniques, and to see you also stretching and growing in your creative, artistic expression. Maybe some of both kinds of videos?

You are such a good teacher, I love the way you are doing it now. You are still getting story time in, but please carry on as you are currently.
I think you're doing a great job of mixing it all up.
I love everything you do BUT I enjoy STORY TIME!
Great card! I love the variety of techniques, and I like story time, too. Variety is good!
Love the new techniques you're showcasing and I LOVE storytime. I know doesn't help much does it?
I love watching your journey
and spreading your wings. I also very much enjoy story time.😊
Missing the story time so much. I enjoy watching you make cards but there are a lot of card makers out there...only one Kelly Taylor with her humor and sensitivity.
I have been watching your videos for years. I have learned so much from you, thank you. Love new techniques, but I do miss story time. Keep up the wonderful work ❤️
Great tips. Really enjoyed your instruction and watching your process.
I really enjoy all Kelly videos! I love learning how you do things & hearing about you and your sweet family! The variety is great!

I love story time but also all the things too!
Great card. Love the burlap die cut in the back.
I truly enjoy learning & story time. BTW ready beautiful card. Thanks Kelly. 🥰😉
I LOVE this card! I wish I could choose between story time and more techniques. I enjoy story time very much but also find your teaching of new techniques interesting. I can say that lately I think you have had a nice balance between both.
I love the technique portion most.
Beautiful card! Of course I really love all your work to be honest😊
I love story time and hearing about your family way better than I would music. I am a fan of you and Dawn. Thank you for sharing your talent♥️
I’m truly enjoying the mix of techniques! I love story time but also understand that you will fit it in as you are able. You’re doing a great job!!! Thank you for sharing your talents with us ❤
I miss story time, but I also love everything you do ….so I would like a balance of both
I like both ways, it’s nice keeping up with you and your family and watching you color. I also like the new techniques.
I think this card is so lovely. Thank you for sharing 💕💕💕
Omg you are so Talented …This card I can’t even find words to describe how much I love this card . I like all your videos. It’s Hard to choose 💐
Love, love, love your story time. But I enjoy both the coloring and the more technique videos. I guess I just want it all! Lol.
You do you, I’m here for it all! I do enjoy the coloring videos and story time, but all of your cards are amazing so I watch all of your videos.
I chose to follow you because you're a genuine person who is not afraid to share the ups and downs of life. who also happens to love card making as much as I do. So, you do you boo, I learn something from you no matter what you chose to teach. xoxo.

Meh, I'm down for whatever you feel like doing; I love the story time and the more instructional bits. I think it comes down to what creativity/amount of time you have in the tank.
Love story time - love the more instructional ones - mixed bag?
I love your technique videos too.
Please keep mixing your videos between techniques and storytime. Hugs from Northern California
I love watching you create. I am new to copics and would love to see some videos on how to use them.
Gorgeous card! I love learning the more involved techniqes. We' can catch up with life when time allows.
I love the mix of the techniques and story telling in other video’s. I think you have found a great balance in that. I really love both, watch you color and the story telling. But I am also really learning a lot of the cards were you show the different techniques you used.
What a beautiful card! I love these autumn florals. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. 😊
I really love story time. Maybe you could do a little technique chatter, then story time.
I love watching you create and I learn from seeing what you do.
Cheers
I watch you and enjoy you just being you, the technique variation is fantastic and much appreciated xx
Love your stories but I am liking the variety and new techniques. !ove.this card.
Beautiful card. You keep doing you.
Beautiful! I love story time, I love the new techniques too. I'm here either way!
Gorgeous card! I absolutely love your videos and enjoy storytime. You have a gift of teaching techniques and I have learned a lot from you. So a balance of both would be awesome. No matter what you do I will always watch you!
I love story time, but I love seeing crafter's different methods of accomplishing their beautiful cards... do both... storytime with coloring, and bring on the new stuff too! Just a note from the peanut gallery :)
I love what you show us but also enjoy story time. I don't feel you should change. If there are videos that have more teaching and not much story time then that's okay but if there is time for story time then that's okay, also. I like what you're doing now and don't feel you should change how you are. You do "you". We're still going to watch and enjoy what you show us. Thanks so much.
Love story time but also love the other techniques you are showing. Diversity might be the key. A little of both. Love your channel.
I like your story time and techniques, 😊
Hi Kelly, I love your story time videos. Lots of channels teach techniques but only you do story time (that I’m aware of) so I’d be sad if story time disappeared. But it’s also been fun to watch you explore new techniques on screen, so I’d prefer a balance between the two.
I learn so much from you with all of the techniques you show. Love story time as well. Maybe just a mixture of both......some coloring where you have story time and some that are mainly technique driven!
I love the techniques and always learn something from your video’s. I LOVE story time as well - makes your channel feel like “home” and I’ve been watching for many moons now. I always enjoy coloring and I’ve learned so many new things watching. Some techniques aren’t appealing to me - but I love that you try many different things. Thanks for all you do!!!
Hi lovely card...love storytime & seeing u colour❤😊
i like the variety and I will take story time when it works for you. thanks as always for sharing and all the inspiration. can't wait for Saturday!
Thanks for the influence, I was needing some burlap for a couple cards, so the die was perfect.
I enjoy all your videos because I always learn something, so keep doing what you're doing. ❤❤
I like both, seeing the process and your tips are helpful and story time is always enjoyable!
I love the balance you have with story time and also teaching. Your channel is great bc your personality and also your cards. Great combo of it all! Love the burlap die in this video! Will have to check it out. Thanks for another great video!
That’s beautiful!😻
Stunning card! Beautiufl work as always!
