[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome😊

[@lynnlhall]

I am from the US and like you, I love snowdrops ..so I ordered them and in about a week..from Sweden into my mailbox! I quickly die cut green and then white, to cut and glue. Oh, I am glad I watched your video..markers are the way to go. Thank you, Chris! Darling!

[@Chrissieannie]

I love the fact that on slightly larger dies (add with the basket) you can add shading with markers, whereas by cutting out with different coloured card and piecing back together it gives a flatter looking colour. Glad you love your Gummiapan dies! 😊

[@suebrown7882]

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you, I think so too! ❤️

[@brendalawrence6732]

I was impressed with the Gummiapan dies when you did the advent calendar, and I'm still impressed with the detail they have on their dies. You talents of bring them to life with the coloring and "cupping" makes all the difference, no matter how subtle Chrissie. These cards are just gorgeous! My next door neighbor has snowdrops and they give me such job when I look outside my kitchen window and see them. Such pretty little delicate blooms. Wish I had some of my own. LOL Love that your daughter's neighbor gave you a basketful! Hugs, Brenda

[@lindadesgroseilliers17]

Very impressive! Just a hint for coloring the die cuts - save the card you cut them from and put the die cuts back into the space on the card where they came out. I usually do it over a sticky mat so that both the die cut and the paper stick in place. Then I color them with whatever I'm using. When finished coloring, peel the background paper and the die cut off. For me it's easier than trying to hold down the die cut while I color it.

[@Chrissieannie]

You can see me doing your suggestion in several of my previous videos, this time it was just quick colouring! 😁

Indeed fabulous - the basket look amazing! I'm not a great one for colouring and don't have any suitable pens - I have been trying not to get sucked into that rabbit hole, but I'm not sure how long I can resist!

​@@Chrissieannie it's just that die cuts look so much nicer with a bit of colour!
