Partially die-cut butterflies take your card making up a notch

[@deballen7031]

Hi. What a perfect, dainty little card that is. Thank you for sharing it and your lovely stories and memories. I really do need to get some new cutting plates for my die machine as it's getting to very difficult to get a decent clean cut at this point but they seem to be so expensive recently. When I get some new plates I will be giving partial die cutting another go. Thanks again and I hope you're enjoying your weekend.😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Deb, some makes of plates seem to last longer than others and some machines seem to make them bow and distort really quickly. I agree that they are not a cheap item to replace. 😕

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much 😊

[@brendalawrence6732]

A beautiful think of you card Christine. I do love the look of partial die cutting though must confess I don't do it very often. I really should give it a go more often. LOL Love how this card came together. As always, it was so fun watching your thought process. Hugs, Brenda

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks Brenda😊😊😊

[@mikewampler9426]

I love watching you make cards and hear your thinking process!

[@TheLpage]

Oh, I would so enjoy doing something like this for a dear friend. Thanks so much.

[@Chrissieannie]

You should!🦋🦋🦋

[@reneecassidy7279]

Very sweet card, Christine, soft and delicate! I have a sentiment that says something like ‘say I love you to a butterfly and it will fly straight to heaven to deliver your message.’ Thought of that while you where making the card.

[@Chrissieannie]

What a lovely sentiment, I’ll have to try to remember that one! Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@CraftyMama101]

Perfection ,as usual thankyou.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks again!😊

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!🦋🦋🦋

[@helenwallace4870]

Beautiful butterflies and a unique way of giving them lift off! They are delicate and almost ethereal in soft blue and white. I cherish the few dies I have from Pocket full of happiness and I can see another set badgering to be added to my wish list. A new and charming technique to add to my library of 'must tries' from Chez Christine. Thanks for you ongoing generosity in sharing your videos which brighten my day. 🦋🦋🦋

[@Chrissieannie]

They are such pretty little butterflies aren't they Helen 😊😊😊

[@karenreeves3958]

This is so sweet. I love the blue pattern you made and the butterflies you made with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@susanwhite1218]

A beautiful card. I must try some partial die cutting again, it's so effective x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks, it makes a change now and again doesn't it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Sally-qu3kz]

Love the card and technique I shall definitely have a go and I find your voice very soothing on your videos just right. 👏❤

[@carolmason8085]

Your voice is very friendly. Card is lovely!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@onlyme639]

Love your card

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@eileenfitzgerald8509]

Lovely idea for any butterfly die. And I love your voice; it's one of the reasons I watch/listen to you every single day!!! If you're ever too soft, I simply turn up the volume. I have a hard time with sharper voices--too harsh for my ears. Keep being you.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I'm with you, I can't cope with those harsh voices either, I'm glad that mine pleases! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lak-bunch1783]

All the techniques applied are versatile! I've not tried shaving cream with ink. That blue with white is pretty. I'll try your creative design layout. I'm happy I came across your channel. Thx Christine❣️

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I'm glad that you found my channel too, I hope that you will subscribe and enjoy many more of my videos!😊😊😊 welcome!

Sweet delicate card

Thank you 😊

[@bettyareson6098]

I love this. I might try it with trees for Christmas. Tks

[@Chrissieannie]

Great idea😊😊😊

[@barbbassano1417]

That is a beautiful card, I love it. I have a number of the word dies like you used in the card and they are very effective and dainty. 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Barb🦋🦋🦋

Lovely Chrissie 💙

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@suemsearch]

So delicate. The blue is a really lovely colour and emphasises the stripes butterfly wings. Perfect❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much 😊

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Oh just love it Christine. Yep takes the card to the next level. Will have to try this today. I’ve got a sick friend and constantly making cards she will love this ie every week. Thanks as always for sharing. I can hear you perfectly and I have trouble with hearing you have a very clear speaking voice.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much Pam. How wonderful of you to make so many cards for your friend... Such a caring thought! ❤️❤️❤️

[@john-kathymassarello9118]

Beautiful!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you!😊

[@ematthews3267]

Sorry to disagree with you Chrissy😉 but I don't get on very well with Stix 2 low tack tape. I will admit I am using the cheapest card I can find that still works with inks, stamping etc. If I'm really bothered about it ripping my card when removing I heat it a bit with my heat gun to soften the glue, which does work🤣 Hunkdory purple tape works well, but double the price😂😂 hence why I thought I'd try Stix 2 instead. Time to get back to work, a commission to complete, been at it all day, happy as a pig in clover. Lovely card, must try my new can of shaving foam soon. Eleanor xx

[@Chrissieannie]

Isn’t that strange I find the complete opposite, the purple tape is too string Ford me, but your idea of using a heat gun is great, I do that often if I’ve forgotten to use a glue stick over foam tape and then I get it in the wrong spot! We just need to do what suits us don’t we!

[@jenniferdrake1210]

I just love this card. Funnily enough I got a butterfly stamp set the other day and resisted getting the matching die set, so I’m in the process of working out a design, I will get it done. Jenny ❤😊

[@jenniferdrake1210]

I do love hearing your family stories, makes me think of mine. Jenny😅

[@Chrissieannie]

Sounds great!

[@Chrissieannie]

Ah that's lovely!

Thanks Christine for sharing your "play" the card is wonderful. Have an awesome rest of your day!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!❤️

[@scrapperiam463]

So fun to watch you create something new and different, but always lovely. I have been encouraged to experiment more and try your ideas for my favorite cards. I'm hard of hearing after many years as a medical transcriptionist and I can hear you very clearly. Your voice is just perfect for videos! Sharon Shuster, USA

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much Sharon😊😊😊

[@kathysass9829]

Gorgeous! Another great idea. Thanks again for sharing ❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊😊😊

[@karenaustin5307]

Guess you decided against adding a trail of pearls. Thought perhaps the tiddles could have been tiny pearls. Very lovely and soft card; very interesting design!

[@Chrissieannie]

I actually forgot about those!🤣🤣🤣

[@CraftyDawn]

What a pretty card. I love those butterflies, and it was great to watch you putting this card together. The partial die cutting technique is very impressive. I must try that soon. Thank you for another great video. - Dawn 🌅

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Dawn😊😊😊

[@bluemac9476]

What a lovely card. Butterflies are always perfect for thinking of you or sympathy cards, I agree. You have so many design ideas, you're amazing!

[@Chrissieannie]

Bless you that's kind❤️❤️❤️

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Oh how unique and pretty! That blue background sheet is so pretty too. This is one sweet card.

Thanks so much!😊

[@carolynmccall4429]

So, so pretty and ingenious. Thank you for showing us how to accomplish this effect.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊

[@joannelind6682]

❤ So very elegant. Such a lovely touch with the shaving foamed blue scrap! I so relate to how you have such a small area to craft in so everything looks messy, but how you make each card so CAS is inspiring. Thank you again. 🦋

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much! As you see I don't have much room to spread out, so I do often get in a pickle!😊😊😊

[@jo-annetedford519]

Very pretty. I love the way you cut the 🦋 butterflies.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

So cute! You must stay awake all night thinking of these unique ideas, Chris. You always manage to find yet another way to use a simple /similar die or embossing folder, thus greatly enhancing the value of my stash. You have me questioning if I truly need to buy yet another die or if I already have something on hand that I can easily use. Thanks ever so much! From Cheryl in AZ.

[@Chrissieannie]

I don't know where some thoughts spring from, I often get ideas from the silliest of thoughts! I'm just glad that you enjoy the results of my experiments!❤️❤️❤️

[@TheLpage]

A velum layer would be nice in between as well.

[@Chrissieannie]

You could try that!🦋🦋🦋

[@luvcreatincardsnkeepsakes]

What a gorgeous card, 🦋🦋 such a clever idea😊Can you please tell me where you get your flar back pearls rom, I’ve not seen them sold with so many on one sheet before. 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks. I got the pearls on eBay!

[@janiceteale577]

I love this it's beautiful. How did you. Make the paper you used for the butterflies. ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks, I used this process but put some of the shaving foam through a stencil kzbin.info/www/bejne/eniWiZ18ns6rjLc

[@janiceteale577]

@@Chrissieannie oh wow I never thought of trying that. I'll give it a go but I make sooo much more mess then you have 😂 thanks again

[@julieharris1830]

Very elegant, can I ask you what you do about envelopes? Do you buy them or make them? 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

For the most part I buy them, although there's one size of card I makes, that I have to make the envelopes for. For those I use my silhouette Portrait.

[@ddrakeutube496]

That is a lovely card. I’ve not tried one bc I didn’t know what to do about the cutout inside. What do you do?

[@Chrissieannie]

I don't do anything there's still plenty of space for the greeting. You could simply add a paper insert if you wished.

[@kevinboucher1458]

Can you tell me where you got the sentiment dies please?

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm sorry I don't recall, but I'll have a look online for you to see if I can find them.

[@kcinca5410]

Another beautiful card. Did you abandon the idea of the trailing pearls? I have a voice that just naturally carries and it's difficult for me even to whisper and not be heard. Not always a bad thing. When at a meeting and the soft-spoken leader couldn't get anyone's attention, she always nod to me and say "Mrs. (insert surname), would you mind?" and I'd simply ask for everyone's attention as none of them had a problem hearing me.

[@Chrissieannie]

Sometimes I’d only have to clear my throat “ahem” and the kids would know to shut up! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 forgot about the trailing pearls!🤣
