You are a gem! I was watching and laughing along, yes, 'don't get old', I say every day and laugh at myself so often. And I agree with Suzanne, my workspace looks the same and I'm always losing something, not only at my craft table, but all over the house. It sounds like so many of us are in our 70's. My daughter is always getting after me for purchasing more 'stuff', but what else am I supposed to do, sit and do nothing?? Never!! Keep um coming Christine. Oh the technique was awesome.

Absolutely love the card and another new technique to try. I’m 76 and who ever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? I’m a very messy card maker always misplacing something or other. I now keep a magnet handy for the pesky dies that hide from me. My hubby asks how I work with the mess on my desk but it just works as I change my mind numerous times from the original plan that I had and who has time to put things away that I just might need until the project is done. Thank you for teaching me that white space on a card is so very pretty.

[@Chrissieannie]

You sound like a true kindred spirit and you're only a little younger than me!😄 I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

[@kkrolf2782]

I’ve taken to crafting at my kitchen counter, for several reasons, not the least of which is great under-cabinet lighting! I’ve also found it quite convenient for sticking tape to the upper cupboard face, and now, at your suggestion, I’ll be affixing a magnetic sheet to it as well! Thanks BUNCHES for that bit of genius!!

[@sueschwartz7296]

The best idea for not misplacing dies (especially really small ones) is to get a magnetic bowl. They come in various sizes and shapes and can be found at auto parts stores. My son gave me a small rectangle one, but I've since acquired a mid-size round one for about $2.00. I found mine at a Harbor Freight store.

[@Chrissieannie]

The thing is I have a magnetic sheet at the back of my desk which is where I put dies during a project until it's time to put them away, but I can't always spot the dies I want on that sheet as happened today with the tiny dots!! 🤣🤣🤣

Very pretty card Chris. When I was a teachers aide at Preschool we had very large tubs of powdered paint which I mixed up with water to make the water paint for the kids. I’m sure it was just like brushos we have now but nowhere near as expensive. If you spilt the tiniest bit it would take forever to clean it up. We did bubble blowing with the water paint and it works well with the brushos.

[@Chrissieannie]

I had forgotten all about powdered paint... And the hours it took to mix it and clean up afterwards, but the kids did some wonderful things with it. Thanks for the memory! I love Brushos too! ♥️♥️♥️

[@kkrolf2782]

HINT: Christine, before your pretty new plates get all marred (since I’m pretty sure you’re inclined to add a shim of some thickness at this point), decrease your current “sandwich” to a sufficient thickness wherein you can add TWO SHEETS of VINYL between the cutting plates. Then put the die on the card stock BETWEEN THESE TWO LAYERS. Although I’ve only used this “sandwich” for a dozen or so cuts, it seems to have 2 benefits: 1) The “sandwich” doesn’t need to be so thick, so it takes some pressure off the machine and the plates (- AND it’s easier on YOUR joints!!). Less pressure helps keep the plates from warping so soon (You’ll probably still want to continue to flip and turn your plates for added longevity); 2) Because the vinyl has “give”, the die cuts into that, so it doesn’t so readily mar your plates. As I said, I’ve only used this technique for a very brief time, but I saw this on another KZbinr’s video (So v e r y sorry I can’t remember her name!!). She’s taken it to the next level wherein she’s researched different types of vinyl and is now selling a type that she feels is a best quality, but also shares with her viewers that most any moderately thick vinyl, like the kind U.S. bedding comes in, or the kind that we can get from fabric stores, will also work. Good luck and be well!

[@Chrissieannie]

OMG what a hint! I'll think about this! Thank you! ❤️

[@amkarei]

The KZbinr that came up with this FAB IDEA is SHARON LASKA Check out her video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJO3g5qmhrdjiqc I've used this hack for about 10 months now, and find it MOST USEFUL !! My cutting plates have only the scarring that occurred BEFORE I started using the vinyl, and only just now have I needed to flip the plates to counter a V E R Y slight warping in one of them! I've replaced ONE of the vinyl sheets -- the one that the "tooth" of die cuts into -- so, I will say, this is a great way to keep the costs of crafting at a minimum -- AND, if you live in a part of the world that costs you "through the nose" for shipping, as well as product!, this may be something you already have access to. Also, the frustration of stubborn non-cutting dies has ALL BUT been eliminated (no metal "detail plate" needed which, I'm sure over time, would dull the cutting "blade" of your dies further!!). Enjoy, Crafters!!

Spray shaving cream ( home brand is great) drizzle inks on top lay paper on top for a few seconds then gently scrape off with old credit card or spatula and let dry. It may warp your cardstock if you want place baking paper on wet paper then a book or equivalent some heavy. Use as many colours as you like. Enjoy 😉

[@Chrissieannie]

I hve done several videos on shaving foam techniques! 😊😊😊

@@Chrissieannie I am a newbie to your channel so I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting all your episodes as yet lol

[@Chrissieannie]

Well I hope there will be lots more for you to enjoy!

[@lindasmith4515]

You can blow bubbles like you did as a kid and they would be bigger

[@karenbliss5075]

Love your You Tubes, this is a great technique. You craft like me - I am ALWAYS looking for things I've "lost" only to find it right under my nose

[@Chrissieannie]

It's a relief to know that I'm not alone in being unable to find things which are hiding in plain sight!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@bethjohnson5350]

Great results! Broken China was the first distress ink I purchased. Love your tutorials, and thoughts on shopping my stash.

[@Chrissieannie]

It turned out so prettily, it was a lovely surprise, not to make something with what I have left.

[@charlottelabelle2545]

Glitter would have looked good too. Love the technique.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks ♥️♥️♥️

[@craftaholic9897]

I am showing my age and humming the song 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' lol. Definitely pretty bubbles, tyvm for sharing. It's unopened oxides I have, I wonder if they make a difference lol x

[@Chrissieannie]

I should think oxides would be fab... Pretty bubbles in the air! 😄😄😄

[@craftaholic9897]

@@Chrissieannie mmm I should have checked before I hit send lol ... I meant humming the tune lol x

[@Chrissieannie]

🤣🤣🤣

[@allisonjames2923]

Such a lovely, pretty result. You can get larger bubbles if you blow slower & transfer some of your bubbles out of the container & place them on the cardstock, instead of holding it over the container. Also helps you control where the colour goes a bit more. Multi coloured bubbles also look spectacular! I wonder how they’d go with some mica in the mix too 🤔

[@Chrissieannie]

Mica is a great idea! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Catching the replay a year later!

[@Chrissieannie]

That's great! Thanks❤️❤️❤️

[@aussieannie2835]

love this x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks ❤️

Oh my! The fun things you get us into! I am going to try this today! I don't have any reinkers but I think dissolved Brushos should work just fine! Thank you! 💜

[@Chrissieannie]

I'm sure Brushos will be perfect! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SantaFeLady]

@@Chrissieannie I have already tried it! If I make a decent card, I will post it later in CAS Cards. And dissolving Brusho powders worked just fine! BUT....I wanted to tell you, hopefully this will make you laugh...My husband just came home from a trip into town to see me blowing a cup with lots of bubbles and I was explaining to him that you used to be a teacher and you used to do this with the kids....and he said....well, her "kids" are just a little bit older now, meaning all of us who love to learn from you. 😄

[@Chrissieannie]

Your comment really made me smile... I'm so pleased you had some fun and success to boot! Wonderful! 😄😄😄

[@SantaFeLady]

@@Chrissieannie It is a bit intimidating to post in CAS with the Queen of CAS (YOU!) looking on 💜

[@Chrissieannie]

Fiddle Dee Dee... I'm sure it will be lovely!😘

[@karenjackson6090]

This is a fun technique Chris which i will definitely try. At present I am trying your embossed vellum technique. With regard to the butterfly die that is not cutting through properly, try giving it a good rub with a used tumble drier sheet. Somehow, it seems to sharpen the die. I don't know how or why, but it works for me. I loveit when you sound like me...where have I put that?

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I'll try your tip! ♥️♥️♥️

[@faeryfox6253]

Ok here so I am wondering what is it that make YOU intriguing? You my dear, set yourself apart by inviting us into your process. I am unaccustomed to see that. This is now my 2nd. view of you. I plan on keeping a little bead on you. Thanks for your unique style...but more actually sharing it.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment and it delights me to invite you to join me in my world! ♥️♥️♥️

[@meredithgreenslade1965]

What a lovely card. Great technique. I'm glad someone else loses bits and pieces

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s the story of my life! 😃😃😃

[@lozzcalderwood9584]

Your so patient and calm. I most likely would have left my craft space for a while. Thank you for being so real and making great cards.

[@Chrissieannie]

It happens all the time so I'm not phased by not being able to put my hand on things which are starting me in the face😊😊😊

[@barbbassano1417]

Omgoodness was this ever a great video. The bubble mixer you have left over which seems to be quite a bit, do you think you could put it in glass jars to be able to use it at a later date because it seems like you need to use a generous amount of ink to make up that mixer 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

I think so! 😃

[@rebeccabrown3898]

Oh my word! Seems like I remember this technique from many, many years ago and had forgotten all about it. Leave it up to you to bring it back. I wonder how it would work on watercolor paper. I’m thinking this technique would make a beautiful wispy cloud sky.

[@Chrissieannie]

Sounds wonderful... Have a go! ❤️❤️❤️

[@suzannejurgens7069]

I make sympathy cards for the veterinary clinic I work at so I do a lot of clouds. This would be a wonderful way of making them!

[@Chrissieannie]

Perfect!

[@nanalovesyounana5489]

Love Love these ideas! I need to ask you a question, when did you sneak into my studio & film this video! Just like the people below, I tend to be a rather messy crafter! Yeah! Actually you could be my other twin! Well, then we wouldn't be twins but triplets? Please keep up your wonderful teaching tutorials. Joyce P

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you liked my videos sister!

[@barbarahill6365]

I’ve had dies that don’t cut well, and it’s the die!

[@Chrissieannie]

It used to cut beautifully, , I can still make it cut so not to worry! 😊
