🔴 EDITED REPLAY - Holiday Card Series 2021 - Day 20 - The train wreck you can't stop watching 😂

[@charlottebradnick8102]

I love how you call & need your friends to help you! Love how your card turned out. I want a cold snowy climate.

[@czdesign]

A good time was had by all.

[@Momof31996]

We moved to FL one week ago, from TN, but originally from NJ. It is definitely a different feeling in a warm climate. The complex has decorated the palm trees. It does look festive, it's going to take me a little while to get use to warm weather in December. However in January I'm sure I'll be loving it. Enjoy the replay, card is beautiful.

[@kathymcconnell6852]

Adorable card! The collaboration with Cathy Zielske was a big treat!

[@ScrappyMim]

Here in Colorado I always hope for snow on Christmas. As you are aware the Rocky Mnt region is experiencing one of the longest no snow periods in History. So I am praying for a blizzard!!

[@mariaflies]

I've always had hot Christmases in NZ and Australia. But I'd love a white, wintry, cold Christmas just for the crafting aspect. There's no summer Christmas stamps or tutorials or there. It's all snow men and snow. Father Christmas with a surf board is every kind of wrong 😆

[@leannewith3]

Totally agree. The rare warm Christmas stamps are usually terrible, palm trees and surf boards aren’t realistic. We did get a white Christmas in Melbourne once 😳 but it was hail not snow 🤣

[@vickimiles9213]

I've never spent a Christmas in NZ but have relatives in Kerikeri. They lived here in Montana for a few years and couldn't wait to get back over there.

[@kaymcbride8708]

So right!

[@lindamitchell3871]

Enjoyed the journey! Lol beautiful card

[@lauramartin7300]

Loved how you ended up. Looked it better than first. First was ok, but missed something.maybe if trees where layered-3d effect? Have to remember your technique you did with ribbon, I held my breath for a moment. I would of probably screwed that up.. lol. Thanks for sharing. And have a Merry Christmas to you and family..

[@dianamahar483]

So fun to watch you change directions….I’m in Oregon so enjoy a white Christmas..snowed the day after this year

[@alisongrey4527]

So pleased to learn you sometimes have combos that don’t work, and need to spend time figuring out what will. Each of my 45 Xmas/Hanukkah cards is different, which is rewarding and frequently frustrating. Loved your end result.

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

I think your first card was wonderful, but the second attempt is perfect. The ribbon is a nice addition. Added bonus was the call to CZ. You, CZ, Gina and Jennifer need to come to NH so I can meet you! I love you guys!!

[@CherylMcGregor]

Anyone watching this who didn't watch the full live version - should.

[@kaymcbride8708]

Very pretty! I liked the first one too! I would like a white Christmas since I have lived in the south all my 60 years a chance to see snow would be beautiful. 🤗 Kay

[@danielleklaiss4336]

Phone a friend!!!! That was so awesome!!! I love the stripes and how this turned out!! Great video, thanks!!!!! White Christmas!!!!! ☃️❄

[@KarmenMartz]

I really love seeing you make "happy accidents" as Bob Ross would say. 😊 Because that makes it more relatable!!

[@olivia8979]

Firstly, I so appreciate you doing edited Lives. Personally, I am not big on Lives or unedited videos in general. But I want to see all your videos. So this is great. I actually liked your first card too, but it was fun getting Cathy in there and the second card turned out terrific. I would MUCH rather have a WARM Christmas :)

[@maryannemoll]

I watch your series every year. I don’t even make cards and I am not a crafter, but the series is so calming, and it’s a therapeutic escape for me. Can you try making a card using fabric, making them puffy or quilted?

[@ginamcdonald7854]

Another lovely card! Love all the sparkle and the addition of the bow! I would rather have a warm sunny Christmas on a beach somewhere!!! Not a fan of the cold dark winter days. I need the sunshine!!!🌴🩴

[@cindyryan1184]

LOVE, LOVE this card!! It was so much fun watching you go through your creating process! I liked the other card also, but this one is…WOW!! I’d forgotten about the ribbon tip…I’ll be using that! PS… I have to say, (not to be weird), but you have such a calming voice. You, Therese & Jennifer are always a delight to listen to, & of course talented beyond belief! Thank you for all you do & share! I live in Tennessee. We had a white Christmas last year & it was beautiful & not unbearably cold.

[@theresaparker8945]

Up in the mountains with a warm fire and lots of snow...have always lived in a warm climate

[@cheryladams9385]

I live in Florida so the only white Christmas I'll have is the white sandy beach. Being from Massachusetts though I have to say I miss a white Christmas. Love the final card, but I have to say that I also liked the original version. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent. Merry Christmas.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I would love a white Christmas! Living in the California desert, we rarely get snow, but we have had a couple of white Christmas years in the 73 years I've lived here. Now we just go up to our daughter's for a white Christmas in Cedar Fort, UT! Glad the card turned out great - sometimes we just have to tweak them a little until we're happy!

[@bstevenson8516]

Love the finished card and your process with CathyZ!

[@FreshandRenewedwithTeresa]

Beautiful Card design~ I prefer a warm Christmas...living in Sunny Central FL I typically get it!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Beautiful card! I love a white Christmas.

[@susancerroni6671]

I loved this video of the live replay more than any other I’ve seen because of the change of mind you had and how you were able to handle it with Cathy Z. It all started because of the dark green tree 🌲. The most I would have done was remove the trees by using either my heart gun to loosen the adhesive or I would have “sawed” the back of the trees off with a stiff cardstock or dental floss. I would have done the 3 trees in same color then it the middle one in the medium green and the left and right one with the lighter green. Cathy with her design background made a much better choice than I ever could have, though. The only thing I might have done different the second way was to use all same size gems throughout the tree and then for the bow, I would have tired a knot, then cut the ribbon, and then made a separate note and glued it on the knit area to make it straight and even. Either way, if the end, it was beautiful. I wish I could have watched you live!

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Nice save, and I’m glad I’m not the only one who struggles from time to time. Lol

[@barbaracilley8200]

Watch the beginning of live, had to leave but got back to see the first card that you didn’t finish, and then I saw the finished card with the bow. It turned out beautiful. This was the first time I saw you “frustrated.” It all worked out good in the end. I have never had a warm Christmas and we have a lot of big windows in our house. I like a white Christmas and snowing is even better.

[@wendyharbarger1445]

Turned out great! A snowy Christmas is the best!

[@barbsdee3831]

I live in Lincoln UK and sometimes we have snow at Christmas and sometimes quite mild (10 degrees C) I’d love to spend it somewhere warm like NZ ❤️

[@heidicook2395]

That turned out wonderful. I'd love a little of both.

[@lindanelson298]

I am going to have to try ribbon. Warm Christmas but not hot. Then the kids can go outside and play with their toys.

[@ritah7457]

Love the revised card design! I prefer a white Christmas like we frequently had growing up in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, living in Texas, for the past almost 50 years, it’s extremely rare! I can only recall one Christmas that we had snow.

[@annapolito3986]

Living in Australia, I have only ever known a summer Christmas and as Mariaflies said there aren't stamps/dies to make summer christmas cards. So never having experienced a white christmas, when I think of Christmas I think of snow, its bizarre. Kristina you and your designer friends need to brain storm tasteful summer christmas card ideas and come up with stamps and dies for those of us in warmer climates. I'd like to experience a white christmas but I hear from many that its not what it is cracked up to be!

[@cheryladams9385]

I live in Florida, Ann and we decorate the palm trees. I have summer Christmas stamps from years ago. Sorry I don't remember where from but any palm tree stamp would work. Just add colored lights with a gel pen.

[@annapolito3986]

@@cheryladams9385 Thanks for the ideas Cheryl. I'll have to give it a go. Have a great Christmas.

[@judyhartmann3071]

Love the end results! Just gorgeous! But I also liked the first one too!

[@amandarenee1583]

lol the SOS call to Cathy is freaking hilarious!

[@susanholland6828]

I think it needs more RED !❤️❤️🎄🎄I am sure the final card is amazing 🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

I love this card...I have experienced the same thing and some of those cards have been my favorite. I had no doubt you'd save it. What fun to see Cathy! I love a white Christmas.

[@AggieScrapMom]

Great edit for this from the original which was awesome!!! Your card was perfect in the end! I'm in southeast Texas so I would LOVE a white Christmas!

[@luli237]

i'm from the southern hemisphere and i absolutely LOVE having christmas in the summer!! two of my favourite things at once, warm weather and christmas! i do admit i would love to experience christmas in snowy new york at least once in my life, and see that gigantic tree at the rockefeller plaza. i blame the home alone movie for that lol!

[@RosyRosie42]

* With special surprise guest! 😁

[@kasmclaughlin5831]

Love this card!! Nice save, Kristina!!

[@narcydishon8389]

Card came out absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️

[@Taitcreates639]

Loves the phone a friend, love both you gals. I really must say, I liked both cards. Super cute ideas. Tfs Blessings

[@carnationrose21]

Only 2 words: WOW!!; BEAUTIFUL!!

[@tammychernow4129]

So pretty! You are so funny. Never give up! It turned out beautiful. I would definitely rather have a white Christmas, but I live in Southern California so I don’t know what it’s like to shovel snow 😂

[@lynnsipes7963]

I'm in VA and I think I've always wanted my Christmas to be white. I have had warm Christmas's in various places which was nice in it's own way. Warm was great with young children and being outside with them while they played 😅.

[@judibradshaw1948]

Gorgeous card! Love the simplicity. So striking!

[@sallygreiner9939]

Beautiful outcome!! Loved the “phone a friend!” I lived in Chicago and Cleveland for over 40 years. Now I live and love sunny Florida. I’m totally fine seeing photos of snow rather than being in the real thing!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Beautiful card. Great video. Thank you.

[@kellyphillips8913]

Perseverance for the win!!

[@Cards4Cancer]

How amazing and love that cut for the ribbon. I would LOVE to have a white Christmas

[@susanashbrook2241]

Loved the evolution of this card! Thanks Kristina and Cathy! I've experienced Christmas in both Florida and Canada and it's just not Christmas without the snow... okay, after January 1 Florida's climate is much preferred! Merry Christmas to all!

[@terriconrad4612]

Worth the effort for sure! This turned out beautifully! We have lived in S Fla for the past 3 Christmases. We loved getting out of the cold and spending Christmas Day on the beach. A different kind of “white” Christmas! This year I have to work so we’ll beach it on Christmas Eve. After a lifetime of cold and snow... we love where we are! 🙋‍♀️🌴🎄

[@bcottle51]

I’ve lived in both and I prefer a white Christmas for sure!!!

[@janetbatteas4290]

I think we don’t give ribbon enough love.

[@cindyssss4099]

Always love a white Christmas.

[@sallyyotz3995]

I love the end result so much better!! What a sweet card and what a wonderful phone-a-friend you have in Cathy Z!! White Christmas every year is my choice!!

[@alisonnet2845]

I loved watching the full length and then just had to see what you did with the replay! LOL You are a delight!

[@kellyphillips8913]

“ I’d like to phone a friend”!!

[@susaneliot9242]

I love that we can see that your original idea didn’t come out the way you liked, and then how you changed gears - thank you! As for Christmas- I like white, but not on the roads…

[@CherylMcGregor]

I think the problem with the first version is that the tree on the right is small and so the design is weighted to the left and looks closer to the edge on the left side. Can't believe you got this edited version down to 18 minutes. Wonder if having a green gel pen dashed line around the edge of the white would have helped?

[@SandyHuntress]

I think the first card design was good, but it was the colors you were hating. The green was too yellow and the white stitching too stark against the cream glitter paper, imo. 🙂

[@nancyallin525]

Loved watching and listening to your “think aloud”! Your card turned out to be a beauty!!❤️

[@rondabartholomew458]

Love both of them

[@mememebeth]

I actually liked te first version of the card too. I think a darker green cardstock would have made you like it more.

[@dreamsunltd]

Great save! Sorry I missed the drama of the live!😂😂😂

[@patriciatankersley625]

Beautiful card! Great job!❤❤❤

[@NordicBee]

What a beautiful card, love it! I definitely love white Christmas, there is reason why Kevin didn't want to go to Florida ;) Actually there is a lot of snow right now where I live, which is Sweden. Last year it wasn't like this, so I'm enjoying every second :)

[@dingfriesaredone]

I agree with you on the first card. It was really not coming together. The finished card is stunning. I grew up in Buffalo. I am now living in SW Florida. I would like a snowy Christmas and then leave for warm weather.

[@robbinmobley1470]

Finished card turned out BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for perservering! Also, I would love a white Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your husband. 🎄💌🎄

[@nalagrey5061]

Warm Christmas always!

[@EBussom]

I love the honesty of your card design! Gorgeous card!

[@Attic244]

I don't always get a chance to watch the live feed on Wednesdays, but I happened to catch it last night. That was the best time to catch it, I have to say! LOL! I love the way this card turned out.

[@noellevargas1392]

I had to see you were going to edit this video. I saw the live already and yep I love the way it ended. It is way better than the first design.

[@DeeCreates]

I enjoyed the whole live and then I watched the replay just to see how it was edited both were great! I lived in Florida for 14 years so no snow, just moved back to New York, so actually looking forward to a white Christmas!

[@carnationrose21]

You have more patience than I would.

[@patriciacornelius1588]

Beautiful

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

You are so funny!! Love this! Ive been there quite a few times. Great card. TFS

[@lilawetzel8213]

WOW, this card turned out so beautiful. I've been struggling with what design I want to make for my 4 Grandchildren this year and I think I just found it with your help (and Cathy Z). Thank you, Thank you. I use to live in Michigan so I always wanted a white Christmas. We moved to Florida after we retired 5 years ago and love love the warm Christmas. My husband put out Christmas lights this year wrapping the trunks of our 4 palm trees with clear lights and the top with red lights. It looks amazing. I'm like a kid when it comes to lights everywhere this time of year. Love it. Merry Christmas and thank you for all your ideas. I've been watching you for many many years.

[@jackiebrechtelsbauer9311]

I always wonder if you hear me when your uncertain about what to do, Ha ha cards are beautiful, and painting is beautiful

[@scrapgirl6]

Absolutely love it 😍❤️

[@criswalton7636]

Nice recovery!!!

[@mumzthewurd1]

I love this video. My card making goes off script every time. It’s good to know that experts struggle sometimes but the finished card is beautiful.

[@marialeeramirez8727]

So beautiful love it 🎀

[@stephaniem6283]

🤩🤩 the struggle was so worth it. Such a beautiful card! Nailed it 🙂

[@CouzCat]

Hey, I’m Canadian: white! My PT who hails from Algeria is headed to Florida with friends. They’ve rented a house so are isolated - on a beachfront, poor devils 🤣

[@HagerHaus]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I LOVE this card! Thanks for sharing. White Christmas, please. :) As long as I don't live by the Great Lakes, because waaayy toooo cold, lol!

[@savvyhoov]

It's a white christmas for me!

[@Tokyokie]

Warm I hate the cold!

[@alicemahone2782]

👏🎊🎉❤️it turned out great! White Christmas please!

[@illuminaticsstudio]

I'm sorry, but I am so happy this happened to you. I have card crises all the time. It was nice to see it happen to a professional like yourself. Lol. It was a beautiful card in the end. 😍

[@hdb80]

White Christmas, all the way.

[@dianebright9366]

Wow...I saw absolutely nothing wrong with that first card! I tried really hard to relate. but just couldn't.

[@karatekate89]

It's stunning! I wish I derailed like this, LOL. I live in New England and it's normally cold, in fact it snowed here last night.. There are 2 foxes that live in the woods behind my house and they were playing in the snow this morning. I love a snowy Christmas but after that it can go away and get warm!

[@juliemirous2714]

WHITE, hands down and at home!

[@cindybearj]

White Christmas! I enjoyed this video so much! Love the "phone a friend" to the funniest crafter around, Cathy Zielske. Sorry if that's spelled wrong.

[@CraftingwithSlavie]

Haha phone a friend, that was fabulous. And totally agree, the second card design was WAY better.

[@Momof31996]

Oh I love your nails!!

[@qwispery]

I must have lousy taste because I thought the first card looked fine, although the second new and improved card was beautiful ❤️❤️ Even though I love by Chicago I always want a white Christmas

[@Kimberlymogan]

I’d rather have a warm Christmas . I can look at the snowy Christmas in pictures/ on TV/ and on cards.
