Talk about 🍏🍎🍏🍎for the Teacher,... You'll be able to open a Fruit Shop soon 🤣😂 Fabulous fun and seeing you explaining "how you assembled" a card is important to us. With the greatest respect, I feel that your reaction when the die went skewwif tells me that you fear errors will spoil your calm & relaxed videos. I agree. That's why I WATCH others & don't make videos. Pleeeeease, do some more "here's a background & let's make a CARD, now". Believe me, we will all appreciate learning even more from you .... like how you recover from it & have another go. It all works out. Please don't be so hard on yourself as you are a great Teacher. 🙏🥰💐🏆👍

[@Chrissieannie]

I appreciate this comment, Thanks so much! 😊😊😊

[@nancyrolfe3033]

As always you created a gorgeous, gorgeous card!! I’m I haven’t watched the previous video with sweet Cleo yet but certainly look forward to it!! Please tell her how impressed I am with her talents ❤ I really do enjoy your videos and they are so much better because you don’t edit everything to appear perfect!! I not only gain more knowledge, assurance but I always get a good laugh with you as well 😂 Loved your “suave” comment. Doesn’t it always happen that something goes haywire just as soon as we believe we’ve pulled it off😂😂 These are some of reasons why you and your videos are my favorite!! #1 in this older woman opinion so grateful you always remember there are others like myself who are just beginning this craft! Just my opinion but I believe it’s the spirit of a good teacher… I saw the card on Community Tab and loved the framing of your background so I came to watch you create the card. Not only did you clearly explain the framework..I FINALLY know the correct way to score and fold the card! Yahoo 🎉 Like you, I don’t like cut edges either. I also prefer a guillotine trimmer. I’d thought the cut was better because that’s all I used when teaching so very used to the guillotine. I’d bought several others (tiny triangle bladed by Fiskers; rotary’s) until I knew it was the one for me! We all have different likes and ways of doing things, don’t we? It’s simply personal preference.,, I’ve got to get lunch, etc. I truly have enjoyed spending my morning with you after a pretty rough couple of weeks with my mother who still has quite a bit of rehab ahead of her. I’ll be returning but hopefully with a phone not dropped couple of times and clear screen 😂 These videos do much more than just teach and share card creativity. They are uplifting to my spirit at times when it’s weary and hurts. You bring hope, laughter and joy, sweet Chris! I’m sure there’s others who feel same but just don’t talk like I do…lol Blessings to you and yours, Nancy Rolfe

[@Chrissieannie]

What a wonderful bunch of thoughts Nancy, to reach kindred spirits like you makes my ramblings worthwhile! I’m delighted that you get so much from them. Bless you 😊

Hi Nancy & Christine 🙏🥰Bless you Both. I'm another older Cardmakers & I can relate,... Oh BOY can I relate to those comments.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

[@deballen7031]

Hi. These are fantastic and your granddaughter clearly takes after her you with her lovely, light touch and eye for detail. I know they are all floral but I think that a seahorse or starfish wouldn't look too out of place on the more teal coloured version. As I said, all fantastic and thank you for sharing them. Have a great day.😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@helenwallace4870]

Your wee Grand Girl is a budding artist in the making with her deft touch with the gilding polish. Your totally unflappable style enables others to 'have a go' and make mistakes with equanimity. I adore the regal tones of the red you used on this card, something I could imagine hanging on the wall at Windsor Castle. Thank you.

You could be forgiven for mistaking my house for Windsor Castle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cleo is a gem isn’t she, I was amazed as how delicately she applied that Gilding polish

[@mitzi66]

They look stunning Christine❣️ I think it's so exciting what you can do with paper these days. In 2000 I did a textiles course at a community college, to help me get back on track after a break-up, and I really loved it! Then about 5 years ago I finally settled on card making, and it was very much like my textiles course, not how I imagined card making at all. So nice when you can share it with so many people, and your grandchildren. ❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

It’s Silkweave Linen from Syntego.Co.Uk, but they sell it on Amazon.com

[@cindym9851]

The cards are stellar! Cleo is becoming a budding artist in the footsteps of her Gran! Just to clarify…..in your original cards you used black gesso and black ink to add the dimension. In these cards, are you using the various powders in conjunction with a contrasting ink or gesso? Are you using coloured cards stock at all? I’m very curious to learn more about this marvellous technique. Many thanks for all your inspiration ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

I discovered that the black gesso works best, I didn’t try any other base colours either in cardstock or ink. Why don’t you have a go and see what you can come up with!
