Faux embossing folder effect

[@marcydobbs1653]

You definitely have more patience with those tiny pieces than I have. Beautifully done.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@michelles9117]

We have a lot of patience, us crafters. The number of times I've searched for minute pieces of die cuts...given up, re-cut it and then Eureka it was stuck to my jumper the whole time!😂 I blame Gremlins a lot of the time. 😊 Two lovely cards and some great tips. TFS❤

[@Chrissieannie]

The gremlins are everywhere!😊

[@brendalawrence6732]

Glad your cold is getting better Chrissie. Your cards are amazing and it was so fun watching the cogs and pocket watch card come together, so elegant, but masculine!. I love when elements look like they were dry embossed but weren't. Hugs, Brenda

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much! That's great I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@julieb737]

What an elegant looking card . Glad you’re feeling a lot better now your sniffles are going away .

[@Chrissieannie]

They are! Thanks❤️

[@pays1zebu]

How great it is to rettrouvé your lovely little cards And you always make me smile😊

[@Chrissieannie]

That’s wonderful❤️❤️❤️

[@bonnerdebbie]

Fantastic cards Christine! Wonderful idea, faux embossing folder!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!

[@patmoore365]

Two beautiful elegant cards for a lady and gentleman Chrissie, and I love the sweet little dragonfly cut from a piece of bubble blown background which looks great with that soft sheen from the wax, and the flourish on the background square looks wonderful. The masculine card using the die cut cogs adhered to the background gives wonderful dimension, and the gold numbers and hands on the white watch face with the gold for the back are perfect. I see that you added a gold layer behind and a gold sentiment for the finished card to complement the other gold elements. I hope that your cold is a fleeting one. Flying this time of year does seem to have that effect sometimes I think. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Pat, I thought the gold panel just set the die cuts off, I'm glad you spotted the addition. The cold is practically gone, I think the flight may have had a lot to do with it!❤️❤️❤️

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow Christine. You have the patience of a Saint...but the card is amazing. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@karenreeves3958]

These cards are awesome, I really like the pocket watch one. My son and husband love watches so I may have to find a similar die and make this for them you have the patience of a saint to pick out all of those tiny pieces and piece them back into the face of that watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much❤️❤️❤️

[@donnavotino8345]

Great ideas! The pocket watch came out beautifully.

Hi Christine. Loved watching this video. What a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@retaretro1607]

You certainly like a challenge Christine....Wouldn’t it be great if we could press a fast forward button on our ‘Crafty Hands’ LOL. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole process of making these two cards. Thanks for sharing. 🦋xxx

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much😊😊😊

[@carolmason8085]

Plus a vocabulary lesson...had to look up palaver😅.

[@yvonneking7193]

Beautiful cards ♥️ 🎉

[@Chrissieannie]

[@ardieatkinson7408]

I was so impressed by your card..I wasn’t sure at first but I should never doubt you Christine..my bad..it turned out beautifully..loved the pocket watch and gears..a truly wonderful card for a man..🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

[@labelmail]

So pleased you are back and fill that spot again I have reserved for you. a wax you can use and will definitely find in UK for making your own gilding wax is the one you would use on cotton or on your Barbour jacket. It is without colour, quite soft but not as soft as the one you have used. If you wanted it as soft you can always dilute it with turpentine. Alas it doesn't have such a high sheen like bought gilding wax, but I presume it depends on the powder used. Another effect with this wax is, wherever you rub it on /apply it, will become waterproof and colour-repellent and that can make nice effects too

[@Chrissieannie]

I may have some wax jacket reproofer somewhere, who knows! Great thought!

[@lechat8533]

Marvelous as always :) Thank you, Christine.

[@Chrissieannie]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JH-wd7ul]

Definitely worth all the effort - fantastic cards! I have a very old stamp I use on the back of cards that are a bit challenging to make. It says "If you knew how long it took to me to make this card, you would never throw it out." 🤣🤣🤣

[@Chrissieannie]

That's wonderful!😬😬😬

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Christine, wonderful cards, awesome tips and I learned a new word (Palaver).

[@Chrissieannie]

😀😀😀 great word huh!😀😀😀

[@MandyRye-rc3fc]

Hi Chris,glad your cold is getting better, 2lovely cards today love the faux embossing effect, thanks for great demo 😁

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@yvonneking7193]

Gorgeous 🎉

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@terriconrad4612]

What a labor of love! Thank you for sharing this great idea! And I just had to look up “ palaver”! Lol! Now I know ! 👏👏😂🇺🇸. Thank you Christine!

[@Chrissieannie]

😄😄😄 it's a great word!🤣🤣🤣

[@sarahmoss4224]

That watch card was a labour of love 😆 , the end results were great though. As for the faux gilding wax if you can't get hold of that french wax you have you can make a very similar thing with pretty good results from equal parts cheap pva glue and hand cream of all things mixed together with cheap mica powder or other pretty loose powders.They need storing in a closed pot afterwards.

[@Chrissieannie]

I would never have thought of incorporating handcream with PVA, I really must try that some time. Thanks!❤️

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️

I forget the double sided tape..great watch

[@Chrissieannie]

❤️❤️❤️

[@DeeFay-fl1hs]

Lovely card. The simplest ideas are always the best!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!

[@janetlunn9502]

Clever idea ❤

[@jrecm4816]

Thank you as always. I have that exact same doubled sided tape and have "so so "much trouble using it as the white backing immediately comes off or I can't cut it. I so enjoyed this card, the way you did the body of the dragonfly!!

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@bobbieprentice2365]

Great to see you back, lovely card, I would be tempted to put on a tiny mouse after your reference x

[@Chrissieannie]

Fun thought!

[@lauraarmstrong5276]

Love to watch your mind work. Thank you you are inspiring

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you❤️

[@lindatracey3412]

Hi Chtistine just thought i would let you know about the precision glue gun that you spoke of. I have problems with my hands and find glueing is a nightmare so i invested in said gun. Wow! It is fabulous and gives a really precise amount of glue. I got mine from Bumbleberry Crafts. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Well you would believe it ... I was gifted with one of these this very day! What a generous donor!

[@kcinca5410]

I'd probably have to cut 2 or 3 of those watch faces in order to get all those little bits onto the face. I'm notorious for losing little things like that or sticking them to my clothes or myself and finding them after I've finished. Oops. I typed that before you lost that little stripe! The card turned out fantastic like they do every time. I've been doing a ton of making but no completing so I didn't send any Valentines this year. Makes no never mind really. There's always another holiday just around the corner and I did e-mail good wishes. Get well. I think the recycled air in planes is definitely a menace.

[@Chrissieannie]

I have to agree!❤️❤️❤️

Oh my word, Christine, you certainly make work for yourself. 😂 Love the finished article though. Well worth the palaver. 13.11

Oh thank you! It was a palaver wasn't it!🤣🤣🤣

[@JaneHarrison-lq1tf]

Hi Christine, I was wondering what you used to get the slashed affect on the first card you showed that had butterflies on? Both cards are fab 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

It's a slashed heart diewhich I think is now retired. I believe Memory Box made one and Simon Says Stamp made one, but there may be others which are still available.
