[@ellenoreazarow1166]

Here in the U.S. I stay up till midnight just to catch your advent cards! You are amazingly creative.

[@sabineloeber1699]

You are such a joy to watch, Christine! Watching your videos first thing in the morning is as if I’m opening an advent calendar door everyday. 🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful! That is such a lovely thought! Thank you 🎄🎄🎄

[@pattyd3205]

Absolutely LOVE your beautiful card. I did laugh at myself Pointing at "your" Colour Chart to chose the Greens!!😂🤣😂 Love the idea of the little bags for the Children’s Advent Calendar. Great hearing you chat about the children, and your life. Happy Anniversary when it comes😀💕 Thank You for the inspiration. Patricia🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕

Wonderful comment, thanks so much Patty ♥️♥️♥️

[@Malmo117]

I received the Gummiapan Advent die calendar today here in USA. It only took about a week to have it delivered! Thank you again for sharing this Advent adventure with us and introducing me to Gummiapan.

[@Chrissieannie]

Great news... Have lots of fun!♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@helenbates5940]

As it’s Advent, it’s lovely to go back to Christmas cards ❤

[@helenwallace4870]

Oh what Joy! A cuppa and a new Advent video. So glad you decided to take the pressure off yourself and take a look at the die to plan ahead a little. Loved hearing about your family and your Christmas traditions. Another triumph - I do love a wreath during the festive season.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Helen, I didn't get around to making one for the front door this year, so this will have to do. 🌿🌲🌿

[@moirahansen1955]

Thank you. Beautiful, delicate wreath. Admire your patience with those tiny pieces. So enjoying this Advent series. 👏😊🌿💕

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@loua3926]

Love this card! Nice hearing you talk about your family. I’ve been learning to be awake and live in the present because you don’t know what tomorrow holds ❤

[@janetcross8712]

I stay up to watch you. You have made a beautiful card with those tiny leaves. I love how you did the wreath in hessian and really love how you did the arrangement which was so unusual. You arw so clever and i really enjoy wstching you. I will miss you after you have finished the calendar, i look forward each day to see what you do. You have given me some lovely ideas.thank you Christine.

[@Chrissieannie]

What lovely comments, I’m delighted that you have been enjoying this series! 🎄🎄🎄

[@barbarahill6365]

Spraying some of your leaves with mica stain (Tim Holtz) would be a really pretty and easy coloring for some of your leaves.

[@barbbassano1417]

You always say that your heads gets in the way but it never does 😀 Yes you are so right us old people repeat ourselves so often without realizing it 🤣 I so enjoy your videos, it is 1:30 am on Ontario, Canada and enjoying this video 🌸

[@Chrissieannie]

I hope you got a good sleep when you finished watching the video! Thanks so much !

[@maggiedonaldson8432]

That little bit of gilding made a huge difference. Inspired

[@Chrissieannie]

I like the effect, it just livens up the appearance of the foliage!🥰

[@janetlunn9502]

I'm catching up with all last years advent calendar while you are on your cruise. Loving it! I wouldn't have thought of putting that wreath sideways, but it looks so much better than straight on as I would probably have done.!

[@Chrissieannie]

That's great, thanks😊😊😊

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

I get up every morning and rush to your video!!! This card is ADORABLE!!! I love wreaths!! ❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@nangustafson8110]

Lovely wreath. Thank you for posting on Instagram as I’m not on Facebook. Have a wonderful day. ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

You can look at the cards on Facebook even if you don’t have an account yourself! I’m having a bit of difficulty trying to get the cards into Instagram on my phone, having no broadband is driving me silly!

[@suemsearch]

Another great card. You are so good at creating something eye-catching from the tiniest dies. I’ve learned so much watching this series tfs❤

[@Chrissieannie]

That’s great, thanks 🥰🥰🥰

[@traceyallen8286]

This is lovely. I love how the foliage only goes part way round. I think I'll be borrowing that idea.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 🎄🎄❤️

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Christine I really really enjoyed watching you creating this utterly amazing and incredibly beautiful card. I really really love ❤️ it, so cute and adorable too. But, I wouldn’t want to jsend that out, I’d want to keep it and maybe frame it, because it’s so stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you Mags ❤️

[@ninabrady4891]

Love all your creations! You always have such great ideas for your cards. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@sherylefagan5132]

I also forgot to mention, I love the way you colored the pearls very clever

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks

[@onedaysoon58]

Beautiful card Christine. Love how you made that little reef, so delicate. Will be interesting to what day die you get to make your husband’s anniversary card. See you tomorrow. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 🥰🥰🥰

[@kathysass9829]

Sweet little wreath! Love that you used burlap. Quite unique. Thanks again❣️

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!🥰🥰

[@deballen7031]

Hi. As soon as you opened the paper to reveal the dies I thought I would use them for a wreath so we must think alike or I'm still bogged down in Christmas. Thank you for sharing your fabulous card, it's perfect. Happy anniversary and I hope you both have a lovely day tomorrow.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 🎄🎄🎄

[@kcinca5410]

Love your wreath! I'm up early today so now that I've had my morning Gummiapan fix, I'll get on with all the holiday things. I'm finally putting my tree up so progress is being made. Hasta mañana.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you. I will be glad to get broadband back again, it’s remarkable how much we rely on it these days!

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Love wreaths! Yes! Love this! From Cheryl in AZ

[@Chrissieannie]

You're getting through them... Quite a marathon!😀😀😀

[@joycegouwens1206]

Your wreath is so clever! Love the card ❣

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like it!😊

[@maryjones3369]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the burlap wreath..so creative as always❤️❤️

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!🥰

[@TheLpage]

Great idea to use burlap for wreath base. Love the contrast between crisp white and the burlap.

[@Chrissieannie]

I love using burlap too! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[@annettegriffiths3942]

Beautiful card. Thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@sheilayoung6552]

I love the way you have used hessian for the wreath. Lovely card. Lovely video. I also love the way you colour the die cuts. A lot easier than trying to colour them in individually ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s a way of getting a little variegated colour on something so small! Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@pamspilsbury4990]

Beautiful card ❤️ love watching thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@susanmurray7530]

Love this one. I think it’s one of my favourites so far. ❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sherylefagan5132]

Well once again you nailed it, I love that card…. Good job

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure!

[@kimdixon3773]

Beautiful! I can't wait to wake up in the morning here in Canada to see what you've made. I also found out how expensive it is to send cards with foam tape this year and won't be using so much next year. Looking forward to tomorrows card.

[@Chrissieannie]

If the foam tape is fairly thin we don’t have a problem here. I have postal gauge to check if my cards in their envelopes will fit through the slot! I remember the first year that I did cards with lots of foam tape, I got caught out and had to pay extra postage!

[@barbarahill6365]

This one would be a lovely anniversary card!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 😊😊😊

[@CH-171]

Another beautiful card - thank you.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@margaretcapill3543]

Beautiful card, yet again.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!🎄🎄🎄

[@lynnej7219]

Your videos should come with a health warning for my bank account. I now need burlap! However with all the postal strikes I know it would not arrive in time to use it this year. I have just received an email to say my calendar is with Royal Mail and they will let me know when it is out for delivery. I am not holding my breath. Another beautiful card, thank you

[@Chrissieannie]

It will be great when it does arrive! Have fun! ❤️❤️😁😁❤️❤️

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

Such a sweet card, I love it and yes it looks beautiful just partially covering the burlap with the sprigs. Thank you for the tip with the surgical spirit 😊 I was also surprised seeing a craft advent calendar and I’m loving it. I have a ten month old great grandson, his advent calendar is little story books, he gets so excited seeing it opened each day and loves listening to the story. Take care.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think a story a day is a wonderful idea… So much better than chocolate!

[@pamkershaw320]

Another excellent card, you have such a lot of parience with those sprigs. Thank you Christine..xx

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mintea2779]

Ohthat uesuch a lovely card

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you 😊

[@FirstLightCrafts]

What a beautiful card. I love the hessian with the wreath. And those flat backed pearls are the perfect finishing touch. Wonderful. I can’t wait to see what you come up with tomorrow. - Dawn 🌅

[@Chrissieannie]

I love reading your comments every day Dawn. Thank you so much 🎄🎄🎄

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Yes, a wreath! Love it!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 🥰🥰🥰

[@onlyme639]

I love how your mind works Christine, fabulous card as always

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much! 🎄🎄🎄

[@jrecm4816]

As usual I learned so so much from this video. Your creativity is amazing!!!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!🥰🥰🥰

[@barbarajgallagher]

Such a sweet wreath - and I love the burlap! I am having trouble sourcing the Presscut Circles set in the US. I love the way you use the nesting sets on almost every card. Where ever did you find that huge sheet of half pearls? I always forget about coloring them and that makes them so much more useful!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!i think the pearls were from eBay or Amazon!

[@BlueZaki400]

Congrats on 49 years (for tomorrow!!)

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@Lulu2U123]

Another adorable card Chrissie, just love how you positioned the wreath...beautiful!!

@@Chrissieannie Thankyou ❤️

[@nancyglaspie6735]

Just gorgeous! You are a wonder!

[@Chrissieannie]

Wow, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolynmccall4429]

Love this! My local fabric shop only has the "coarse" burlap, and I need to find a source, on-line?, for the finer burlap.

[@Chrissieannie]

They sell it for Card Making. Do crafts do some I believe!

[@handmadebyshirley3715]

Love it, great minds think the same, thinking of doing wreaths in my videos later today . Love the burlap and those tiny sprigs really do make a wonderful authentic looking wreath. Thanks so much for this again, looking forward to seeing tomorrow's project. ☺️👏

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much! 😊🎄🎄🎄

[@julieharris1830]

Gorgeous card thank you for sharing your advent with us 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!🥰

[@barbaradawson410]

Another beautiful card Christine, I would never have thought of using hessian for card making but I am going to give this a try now. I love how you store your dies please may I ask what boxes/containers you use? Thank you for another idea can't wait for tomorrows card. xx

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much, these are Tuff boxes from Amazon!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful card Christine, thank you.

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s my pleasure! 🥰

[@susaneaton5608]

Oh I love this one, I hope you don’t mind but I think I’m going to copy this one, I’ve got similar Tim holts dies. Thank you for such a beautiful card😍

Thanks so much 🎄🎄🎄

[@kittydavies3438]

Thank you abeautiful card, you are so inspirational. I am going to My great grand childrens carol concert this morning.

[@Chrissieannie]

Have a wonderfully proud time! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kittydavies3438]

@@Chrissieannie Thank you it was lovely.

[@annewalker221]

Love this. Just a question : why do you prefer to cut out the foliage in white card and then colour them as opposed to colouring the card first and then cutting out?

[@Chrissieannie]

Very good question, if you colour card first (which I often do) the colour would be all the same for such tiny dies as these. If you smoosh them into some ink you can achieve tiny little random splodges of colour which look a little more natural.

[@carolmason8085]

I really enjoyed this video: several tips given which I need as I'm new to card making and u seemed more relaxed. Mayb its too much stress to open an unknown die and figure it out while being filmed....just my opinion. Lovely card Christine!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you🥰🥰🥰

[@Di-verseCrafts]

Beautiful card again Christine 😍 I'm so intrigued now with what is in no. 15 for your anniversary card, I have my fingers crossed 🤞it will be a good one but whatever it is I have every faith you will make it work 💖🤗🎄🎄

[@Chrissieannie]

I haven’t looked at #15 I didn’t want to spoil the fun of trying to make an anniversary card with it. I hope it’s not a bunch of bricks or something similar! 🤣🤣🤣

[@mitzi66]

Well done, that is so pretty❣️ I've got wreath on my list of to dos too. I don't blame you for looking ❤️

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheLotte64]

You virly are a great artist, with so many amazing ideas ⚘️. I am looking forward to Christmas now😅. Might be a little early, here first in July 😁👍🩷💚💙

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@erinwood4968]

Cute idea with using the burlap as the wreath. Useful future idea (hopefully), ink blend/color the cardstock and then cut out the sprigs. But thanks for the video. Love your ideas 🎉🎉HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉

[@Chrissieannie]

I wouldn’t get the variation of colour if I coloured the card first with such tiny dies, I do often do that for other die-cutting! You’ll see it in lots of my other videos! Many thanks for your anniversary greeting, it’s not until 15th! ❤️

[@judithjarvis2421]

Beautiful card. 😀

[@Chrissieannie]

Do you know the name of the magnet die cut organizer you own? It looks so sturdy.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you ...Clean and Simple Card Making group!

[@carmenpacheco8256]

Chris can you tell me what is the size of your berry sprigs. I have some sprigs similar that I would like to use but they measure 2 inches in length

[@Chrissieannie]

These are tiny …Less than an inch

[@carolmason8085]

Is surgical Spirit the same thing as alcohol?

[@Chrissieannie]

It is a kind of alcohol yes!

[@virginiachamberlain3073]

Dont bother aboutgetting your hair in the way. Itswhat your hands are doing that we look to see. Really cute the wreath.

[@Chrissieannie]

Just can't keep my bonce out of the way sometimes! 🤭🤣😁 Thanks for your kind words.
