Hi Christine 🥰🙏🌹 I too, look forward to your videos. You do seem to be in a hurry though! Please relax & take your time. Lovely cards! 🦘🦘🦘☀️

[@Chrissieannie]

Sadly I had other things to do.. not in my craft room… but wanted to get a video done! Maybe why I seemed rushed! Thank

[@elizabethdavie7874]

Beautiful trio of stars, so simple and clever. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇿

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much. It's a great die isn't it!❤️❤️❤️

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Christine, I love the stunning beauty of your cards. Thanks so much for the great video. ❤😊

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@JH-wd7ul]

Beautiful cards!!! LOTS of inspiration in this video! I love that the sentiment die on the last card was exactly the piece that was needed without you even planning it. Thanks so much for sharing! 🩷

[@Chrissieannie]

Very many thanks 😊😊😊

[@vickidavis1501]

Thank you Christine. I sat down today to make some cards and messed about for ages, not achieving anything. After dinner, I gave it another go, and made 8-10 birthday cards. Tomorrow I tackle Christmas with a similar idea to your first star card, using Christmas trees. Do wish I had a star like yours. Simply beautiful.

[@Chrissieannie]

Wow that sounds like quite a session! I have another Star that I may try to make a few cards with too!😊😊😊

[@Gidget3922]

Perfect cards, Christine. Love your vids and look forward to them every evening after dinner. My husband has his favorite tv shows and I’m bored to death😂. I put on KZbin and you’re always the first one that pops up!

[@Chrissieannie]

That is awesome! You've no idea how much reading comments likes this means to me, thanks so much❤️

[@kathysass9829]

Great looking cards. I’m inspired as always❣️🇺🇸

[@Chrissieannie]

That's wonderful😊😊😊

[@MrGaladrial]

Beautiful cards love the die and the desk vacuum. Christmas present to myself i think. 😂Xx Alison

[@Chrissieannie]

Go for it! The little vacuum is fab😄

[@peggystoop4196]

Simply elegant!🥰

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks 🤎🤍🤎

[@Sioban1945]

Wow these are lovely.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@JulieThomasKenilworth]

After watching this fabulous video, the star die dropped into my basket! Oops!! Thank you again x

[@Chrissieannie]

I wonder how that happened? Strange isn't it!😄😄😄

[@barbluecht3500]

Beautiful inspiration from you as usual! I received my gummiapan advent box and can’t wait for the festivities to begin. Thank you for sharing your lovely creations and inviting us to enjoy your special time

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful!

[@lindabunce5133]

I loved your working surface....looks much like mine when I'm being creative. Love the cards as well.

[@Chrissieannie]

Oh thank you!

[@fionascott4887]

Lovely cards Christine

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank You❤️❤️❤️

[@john-kathymassarello9118]

3 gorgeous cards!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much!💛💛💛

❤❤❤

[@Chrissieannie]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Love the simplicity of those cards, I would have put the shimmery paper the last card, maybe. I do love shine on cards. Jenny 😊❤

[@Chrissieannie]

It's great that what I do spurs you into thinking what you would do, I guess you call that inspiration!😀

[@mellyj3874]

Great cards. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure, thanks😊😊😊

[@dianemendoza3010]

Beautiful as always. Need to purchase simple die shapes. Most of mine, though cute have nany fiddly pieces. Very time consuming. TFS❤️💚

[@Chrissieannie]

I think there's a place for both kinds!😊😊😊

[@meredithgreenslade1965]

Lovely. ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MandyRye-rc3fc]

Hi Chris,lovely cards as always ,less is more I say,thanks for lovely demo 😁

[@Chrissieannie]

You’re welcome 😊

[@lindatracey3412]

Spectacular! x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks🤍🤎🤍

[@patriciablades8162]

All three cards look great on the Facebook page and you made them in less than a half hour. That is an accomplishment in itself. Got my Gummiapan advent yesterday and I haven't looked yet. So looking forward to those videos with something unique from both you and Gummiapan and a little bit of me too! Thanks for sharing have a great day

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much! I think we're going to have great fun with the calendar!❤️

[@karenaustin5307]

Very nice! Thanks so much!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks❤️

[@MsTigerlily9]

Beautiful cards! ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like them!

[@yvonneduffy6812]

I mix eyeshadow or mica powder with bees wax polish which works brilliantly, I tried it with glue and hand cream but it was nowhere as good as the bees wax and it keeps forever !

[@Chrissieannie]

Wonderful😊

[@barbararussell7103]

I Love the embossing dies! I don’t have any of those…YET!😅

[@Chrissieannie]

There don't seem to be lots available but I love the ones I have!😊

[@sharoncyber50]

Beautiful, my problem with making cards is deciding which direction to start in. There are so many different things you can do to a card...I can't decide!

[@Chrissieannie]

I would just do the first thing you think of... you can always do a different thing tomorrow!😀

[@joanturner7313]

impressive

[@Chrissieannie]

😊😊😊

[@whiteherondesigns]

Such pretty cards, I'm sure I have a die I could use in a similar way, even if it's not a star, must have a look... Nicola x

[@Chrissieannie]

I think it's great when I spark ideas in the heads of others! Thank you❤️

[@dmullin9482]

Beautiful cards, you make it look so easy.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@janetcurtis701]

The Merry Christmas over the star looked perfect. I liked the scalloped strip too, but I wondered if you had made it wider by putting the die with the holes in it down the center and the scallops on either side.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think it's great when what you see me do, sparks ideas in your head. Wonderful! Thanks😊

[@ann9793]

Great cards, Christine, lovely die

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@bonnerdebbie]

Simple, fast and beautiful, thanks Christine!!

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@vikijerke621]

Oh my that die is lovely and your ability to see how it can be used is awesome. I do so love my afternoon with Christine - Thank you as always

[@Chrissieannie]

My pleasure Viki❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethturnbull1537]

What an enjoyable video! Loved watching your ideas and how they always look wonderful, love the three cards you made and the sentiment was made for the last card. Thank you take care.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!

[@brendalawrence6732]

I love that star and those little stars you used. All three cards are gorgeous, but the last one of the kraft colored card base and the tablecloth star is my favorite with that "Merry Christmas" sentiment! Hugs, Brenda

[@Chrissieannie]

It's fun to be able to do some things quickly and still get a great effect isn't it!😊

[@brendalawrence6732]

@@Chrissieannie Indeed!

[@karenreeves3958]

This was such a fun video. I love listening to your thought process on how you will make the card, and watching you unwrap that giant roll of tape was so funny. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you enjoyed it! The roll is a big one isn't it!🤣🤣🤣

[@helenwallace4870]

OH I love your trinitarian approach to Christmas; the cards echo the original story when the three wise men came bearing gifts. What a splendid find from Creative Expressions. I love them all, especially the fabric one and also the embossed smaller die with its multitude of tiny stars. 🌠🌃🌠

[@Chrissieannie]

Sometimes we need to be able to do things quickly without sacrificing style!😀 It's a great dies isn't it Helen!

[@caronjackson386]

Lovely cards again. ❤ What about some lovely gold splatter on the craft card with gold ink or paint as an option?

[@Chrissieannie]

There are lots of possibilities! 😊😊😊

[@rochestermanagementservice6082]

Simple. Same die, but you get a variety of cards. Nifty ideas, Chris. TFS. From Cheryl in AZ

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Cheryl🤍🤎🤍

[@mandyhall1674]

The two white cards are absolutely gorgeous and although I'm not normally a lover of kraft cardstock I do love what you did with this one and the merry christmas definitely finished it off nicely. I was giggling when you got that new roll of tape out - it was huge! Thank you Christine and have a beautiful day.

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like them! The roll is a whopper isn't it!😀😀😀

[@CraftyDawn]

What lovely cards. So quick and simple, but so stylish. - Dawn 🌅

[@Chrissieannie]

Glad you like them!

[@onlyme639]

Love your cards, such a good die

[@Chrissieannie]

I bought another star I think, but I'm not sure where I put that one! I'll have a look tomorrow! 🤔

[@valeriebateman-nu1co]

Love your cards. All are gorgeous. Have you ever thought of re-rolling some of that foam tape onto the empty roll? So you don't have to deal with the huge one.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think I'd find that even more frustrating than trying to use the large roll!🤣🤣🤣 I use so much, it will reduce in size reasonably quickly.

[@patmoore365]

I was looking the other day at clearance items on Craft Stash and I noticed this star then, and it does look extremely pretty on all the cards Chrissie and makes quick cards too, which is always useful when time is short. Thank you for some great ideas, and for showing us how you think on your feet and change your tack when something isn't quite what you want. Some people would edit those bits out but you own it which is great. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks Pat, just as a matter of interest, if you visit Craft Stash after seeing something that I have used from there, it would help me if you could go via a link I put in the description of my videos. I'm glad you enjoy my videos... warts and all!🤣🤣🤣

[@sueyB123]

Love these cards, especially the one using Kraft card. Is there a different name for these dies which emboss only? Whatever I Google all I seem to get are instructions on how to emboss your existing dies or where to buy embossing folders 😩

[@SoulfulXprssion]

This was a great video - I have to have these dies. And what is that container yiu have your border dies what a great storage container for these types of dies.‼️😊

[@Chrissieannie]

I store my dies in A4 Tuff boxes from Amazon!

[@cindycoven1]

Lovely. Thank you. Where did you get the plastic die storage container? You are storing stars in it. I looked on Craft Stash but couldn’t find it.

[@Chrissieannie]

The boxes are A4 Tuff boxes from Amazon!

[@ArtemisToo]

Lovely, and so much less convoluted than the Christmas cards I seem to be making right now! Did you get the Gummiapan holiday set dies again this year? Mine just arrived, but I enjoyed seeing what you did with them last year.

[@Chrissieannie]

I certainly have... I think there will quite a lot of us doing it this year!

[@barbfitzgerald5472]

Hello Christine!, i would like to know the container you store your dies in. Much better than stacking in a bin. Enjoy watching you, you are very creative. I'm in FT.LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

[@Chrissieannie]

They are A4 sized rigid plastic document containers which I got on Amazon. They are called Tuff Boxes 😊

[@mariaelenaiglesias6891]

Lovely cards! And that star with the angel is gorgeous. Do you recall where you got it?

[@Chrissieannie]

Creative Depot!

[@joyceloszewski7042]

Beautiful Chris!! Can i ask where do you get the plastic container you had the dies in from? Great idea!!

[@Chrissieannie]

Tuff boxes from Amazon

[@kcinca5410]

Lovely cards, once again. I'm working on a birthday card that may be approaching CAS. WHAT? Are you influencing me? Very possibly.

[@Chrissieannie]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@teresajarkowska5792]

I bought this star die when it first came out and it has been used every year since. I do like the simplicity of the first card and think I will make a few like this this year although I might have a little more colour behind as backing for the star. I am sure I am not the only one who answered your question towards the end when you asked about placing the sentiment!!!! It struck me that you could wind some of the new foam tape roll round the original inner to make it easier for you to cut short lengths…..would it work?

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks ...someone else suggested that with the tape, I couldn't be fixed too do that, it will get used soon enough in any case!🤣😄😄😄😄

[@barbfitzgerald5472]

Also would like to know where you got the little desk vacuum , THANKS

[@Chrissieannie]

I got it at Craft Stash, there should be a link in some of my video descriptions!

[@hazelsavill1497]

Chrissie..... I was shouting at the screen just now. Great cards, but in my opinion, you needed more contrast for the background of the last card. Try a white background or emboss the whole front of the card. And that roll of foam tape made me laugh.....i wonder how long it will last you 😂. I must say that looking at your die box i have quite a few of the same ones, especially the sizzix ones

[@Chrissieannie]

The craft card base had me scratching my head as I hadn't thought what I would do with it and wanting to be fairly quick, gave me a few problems. Given more time I think I may have thought of something different, but in the end the sentiment I made the other day helped me out!

[@hazelsavill1497]

It's good that you think on your feet sometimes. Some craft videos I watch are just so precise/planned. Whilst I enjoy these too yours shows what it's like to be a like one of us. And you were using up leftovers and that's always good. Can't wait to see what you get up to tomorrow 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

@hazelsavill1497 that's very comforting to hear Hazel, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@TealDiana]

Beautiful as always. ❤️I’ve been wanting to ask about copyrights. What is/isn’t permissible if one is using branded stamps/dies for use on cards for sale? Thank you!

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you. Most branded stamps and dies have an Angel policy which means that there are no copyright restrictions on them.

[@TealDiana]

@@ChrissieannieThank you very much. I often have no idea which product is from where so wouldn’t know where to begin to get permission.

[@hazelsavill1497]

I found a website that explains the angel policy but each time I posted here it was taken off. If you Google feltmagnet hopefully you will get it. Although the first part goes into detail the end of it has a chart listing different craft company's angel policy

[@bettyareson6098]

Love the star. Glad to see you get stumped sometimes too. Got my gummiapan advent calendar today. It’s taking all my willpower not to open them all.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks and I know that feeling!🤣🤣🤣
