Easily aligned die cut letters

[@kcinca5410]

The "jig" method of stamping and die cutting has saved me a ton of grief. I love coordinating stamps and dies as I loathe fussy cutting but often got frustrated when I couldn't line them up properly. This method does away with that problem. I remember when I saw Tim Holtz talking about watching someone else do this and at first he was like "what are you doing?" AND THEN, "that's genius!" It's especially helpful when you are making lots of the same thing. A twofer today! Thanks so much. I thought you sounded a bit chipper today, too.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much🤣🤣🤣

Recently I added a new folder to the spot on my computer where I save special things that I love. The new folder is entitled lessons to learn. Today I added this video to that folder, and made a special note that there were a great many good lessons to learn here. Thank you so much.

[@Chrissieannie]

That's great! Thank you❤️❤️❤️

It helps me a lot Viki😊😊😊

Very helpful couple of tutorials. I just love watching them and laughed out loud when Siri came in, haven’t heard from him for a while.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much😊😊😊

Hello Christine. Your card is gorgeous ! Le dégradé de bleu vert turquoise est splendide. Merci pour la mise en démonstration de la technique d alignement des lettres . Thank for the vidéo 👏👏👋👋👋👋👋

[@Chrissieannie]

aucun problème😊😊😊

[@judithshea6284]

Beautiful card, Christine! And 3 great hacks, as well. The jig is brilliant, as is the labeling of those hard-to-decipher dies. Then you did the hingy thing! This video is a gem! Thanks!

[@Chrissieannie]

Happy to help! 😄😄😄

[@patriciablades8162]

This is such a pretty card, the person receiving it has to be special. Thank you for all your tips and tricks. Jennifer McGuire also has showed the jig system so now I really am going to figure this out for all my stamps that have matching dies. You can just store the jig with the stamps and dies and it will always be there for you. A little extra effort saves time in the end.

[@Chrissieannie]

Exactly

[@deebanks504]

Very pretty card 😊. Your tips and tricks are so useful. The hinge trick I'd forgotten about so was a useful reminder. "Thank You so very much"😊.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊😊😊

[@karenreeves3958]

Very pretty card. I love the colors of the letters and the way you lined up the stamped words with the shadow piece. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

[@susanwhite1218]

I love die cutting busy gel prints and backgrounds. This is a great tip for getting the letters perfectly aligned too. Thanks x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you😊😊😊

Thank you so much!😊😊😊

[@angelamaas3903]

Hello Christine, you show us so many subtleties to give things "life". I've already taken over a lot of it and it just looks wonderful. You have beautiful dies and you are so patient with all those tiny little pieces...WOW!!! such steady hands wich can do this!!! I'm sad that I don't understand everything you say, some sentences just happen too quickly for me, but I'm learning. Thanks for that too ☺️ Have a nice evening Angela

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, I think your command of English is awesome! I'm sorry you don't manage to catch everything I say

[@peggystoop4196]

A twofer today! Yay! Very pretty!😍

[@Chrissieannie]

Yes! Thank you!😀

I don't know what KZbin are playing at, but my subscription was unsubscribed as well a couple of days ago!! Great idea with the jig being labeled. 😍

[@Chrissieannie]

It's very trying isn't it! KZbin is a law unto itself!

[@retaretro1607]

What a useful tip which I will definitely be using. Thank you Christine. 🦋xxx

[@Chrissieannie]

That's great😀

[@DonnaHoye]

Thanks for the wonderful tips. Some are new to me and some are tips I knew but have forgotten to use. Beautiful cards.

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MandyRye-rc3fc]

Hi Chris, what a great idea the jig is, I shall be using this idea,thanks for all demos today.😁

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure😄

[@kaamorse]

I've been checking, and it seems I have to "subscribe" every day.

[@Chrissieannie]

Good grief that's a pain! Thank you for doing it!

[@kaamorse]

Maybe you need to check with KZbin. They may need to fix something in your account to stop you from losing subscribers. @@Chrissieannie

[@Chrissieannie]

@@kaamorse I have given feedback but don't know what that will do!

The template idea is something I have used for layering stamps but didn't think to do it with sentiments. Duh Thanks So Very Much for your great tips and tricks and a fantastic card to boot!!!

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😀

[@lolaw.8008]

Such a nice completion to the card! Stunning colours on the flying insect! You make it easy, but it is so much fun to watch! Thanks so much!

[@bettyareson6098]

It’s kinda nice to get back to normal card making. Although I may make some Christmas cards for next year😜

[@Chrissieannie]

I need to make Christmas cards throughout the year too avoid that panic in November/December

You're a good teacher!

Thank you! 😃

[@teresamcdaniel3554]

Love the colors on this one! I have seen the tip about making and using a template for stamping on a die cut (which I love) but using the post it’s to align and adhere letters is new to me. Great idea!

That's great😊

Hi Chrissie. Well timed 2nd video as I'd just finished watching the first. (Delayed due to dinner and washing up).

[@Chrissieannie]

My videos are taking soooo long to upload!

[@hazelsavill1497]

@@Chrissieannie oh dear! Thank you for not giving up. Perhaps you need to check your internet speeds.

[@brendalawrence6732]

Such fab tips/hacks in both video's. One tip I picked up from you is using the eye shadow applicators for the gilding paste. Love that, so much easier. Beautiful card, love the colors. I would love to see how you made that background as I've never heard of using starch before, if I have, I've forgotten about it. Hugs, Brenda

[@Chrissieannie]

I'll try to do a video on that today!

[@scrapperiam463]

I love all the detail you take the time to add to your cards, thanks for the letter alignment hacks. Do you ever put inserts in your cards? ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you, I only add inserts if they are specifically requested or for things like invitations etc!

[@lisascholten1183]

Hell Christine. Happy New Year! I love this card. Would you demonstrate how you made the background with spray starch and brusho. Looks very pretty. Hope you have a lovely day. 😊 Lisa

[@Chrissieannie]

I certainly will!

[@Sioban1945]

Great ideas as per…..😂

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like them!

[@barbsdee3831]

I think it would also look quite effective if you put the ‘so very much’ over the top of the ‘thanks’ and you could use a smaller sized card. What do you think?

[@Chrissieannie]

You could do whatever you liked! As I often say, the world's your lobster!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kim-mareeforner3382]

Christine Do you have a video on how you made the beautiful background paper?
