Oh my! Some people are just ungrateful. I ALWAYS enjoy and learn from your videos! Pay no attention to the negative people. I'm grateful you take the time to make and share videos!
I love watching your videos. Some things I like more than others but that's ok. I just feel privileged that you share your ideas, your process, techniques and final results with all of us. It gets my creative juices going 😀
I have no idea why a viewer would criticize your vids for those reasons. I LIKE seeing and hearing your creative process. I see the steps and considerations you make and then when I make my own I have landmarks to look for - color, scale, white space, subject matter, greeting, etc. Very, very helpful to me. Pls keep doing! TYFS.
Totally agree with this. If they don’t like your way of doing things then they can go somewhere else. There are plenty of other people doing all the same things in the same way. You have a unique approach to everything that you do. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, Christine.
Love both of these cards Christine and quite frankly I do not understand what she has to criticize. Keep on doing the Christine magic, because we love it. Thanks for your time Christine.
Some people are either jealous or insecure and definitely rude! Pay no mind and keep doing just the way you do things. Clean and simple is becoming quite popular ❣️
Love your clean cards. Pay no attention to that rude viewer. Anyone who hasn’t the kindness to withhold criticism should not be given any attention. Your time and quality of both the cards and videos are a testament of your love for the craft and your audience. Many thanks
One of the reasons I love watching you is because you are REAL in how you process what you're creating! That I can to relate to. Besides, look what you end up making! Amazing! There's alot of experience behind what you do and I enjoy watching. Thanks for sharing and stay your unique adorable self! 💝
Please don't change your presentations, those of us who follow/watch your videos like you just the way you are. You're REAL, it's nice to hear how other like minded people go through their processes. (Plus many times you make me smile and think "me too" when you can't find what you know is there on your desk 🤣). Another beautiful card that has given me inspiration on some bee things that I already have, but have never used. Please keep being you, you're great as you are!!! Thanks again. Xx
It amazes me how you can so clearly talk through your creative process while making a card. When you change your mind you explain why you are making the change. You make every move crystal clear. I love the way you share your design process. Don’t change a thing!
Oh my gosh I love your videos. Take no mind to that silly criticism, they obviously are not a creative person. Creativity is born as you create. Keep being you and doing the videos the way you have. That’s what makes them so amazing. ❤️
I too like the way you work thru creating a card. Your explanations about changes and thought process are very helpful. Disregard that boo-hoo comment.
My thought was “If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.” Here in Maryland I really enjoy your videos and will watch each one several times because you are so creative. I feel as if you are talking directly to me, your style of card is my favorite, beautiful while being plain and simple. Bless your ❤️.
I completely agree! It still boggles me that some people can be so rude! If you don't like someones videos, don't watch them, there's no reason to be mean! I completely adore all your videos and thoroughly enjoy all your commentary with yourself, especially with your British accent! You just have a way of saying things that is so different from the way we Americans speak and I absolutely love it! Don't change a thing Christine! Love all your CAS cards and videos! Thank you for taking the time to share all your thoughts. I myself, have one of those bins full of started projects or scraps and bits of cards that never got finished. I always feel a great sense of accomplishment when I have pulled a card together from those bits.
I love your videos and all your creativity. Very good tips that I would never think to do, and I agree with everyone else who commented below. You are REAL, sometimes we all change our minds, and it's fantastic to watch someone make a card the way we all do, mistakes and mishaps included! Don't ever change❤
The thing that I like best about your videos is the casual everyday way that you demonstrate just how that you achieve an elegant design - you are unique in the land of TH-cam. I wish you much success!
It's called the creative process! Please ignore mean comments like that. That person doesn't know what they're talking about. I've been a crafter for a very long time and I think you're wonderfully organised. You're cards are just lovely. 💕💕💕
Christine, that comment about you not being prepared..... watching you create and decide something works or not is the very thing I enjoy most about your videos. Creating is a process and I enjoy watching you create as you go!
Hearing your creative process stepped out really helps me when I'm trying a new technique. Well really any card. I love your card making style. Please keep being true to your crafting style. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
It seems to me that you do a lot of planning and you always share your planning with us. It always results in the most beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing your process with us.
I really enjoy your videos Christine. I learn a lot listening to your creative thought process ! Can’t understand why someone would criticise your videos . Please keep on doing your videos just the same as you do 🌸🌺
Never mind the critical commenters. They don't have the confidence to video on the fly and I doubt they're actually doing any of things you are. I don't understand why they think they're so superior to whoever they're watching but I'm definitely not convinced they could do a better job. I like that you're not doing a voiceover or showing perfection (although your finished cards come pretty close). You craft as I do and show me YOUR process which is ever so helpful. I misplace things and make mistakes (as we all do) and find your tips enlightening - like the bee assembly. I'm so glad I found your channel. It makes my day when you have a new video up.
Christine! Don't pay attention to criticisms by people who are mean spirited. I love your videos because they are real. You are real. And I agree with a previous comment...I love seeing your whole process starting with your thinking process. Your works of art are marvelous, dahrling!
Love these cards! Also love hearing your thinking process, watching your cards evolve and hearing why you change your mind about a decision sometimes. Surely none of us crafters sit down an know exactly where we are going with a card and exactly what the end result will be. Am constantly talking to myself and trying things out before I am happy enough for the final sticking in place. I find your videos very informative, encouraging, comforting and love your non-preaching, non-selling approach. Your videos give me confidence!!😀
I love your videos and your creations. When I first saw your videos, I reallized that I was watching other videos for a final completed card, looking for the products used and copying them. This can be very expensive, especially when I don't have those exact products. But with your videos, you give me ideas on using different stencils, color combinations and coming up with my own creation, which I never thought I could do without some help. Please keep up this up and don't change a thing.
This is a truly wonderful comment, I couldn’t be more pleased that you are creating your own designs with your own stash and hopefully you are feeling far more satisfied at the outcomes. Wonderful ❤️❤️❤️
You have a wonderful style! You’re so creative and it emerges throughout your videos. Sharing the thought process so helps others in exploring their own process! I appreciate your gifts in sharing your craft with others! Don’t change anything!
Hmm, and as creatives we should always plan what we are about to create? I never plan and this is why I enjoy watching your videos to hear and see your creativity. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful projects and skills with us. Don't let them discourage you. Just someone who apparently likes to bully online. I will pray for them. Thank you again for sharing and bringing us new ideas and techniques.
Pay no attention to the negative nelly who said you didn't know what you were doing. You are amazing and always make it clear what you do and how we can come out with the same result. You are perfect just as you are, my dear internet friend! Bee card is delightful!
It feels wonderful that I have so very many internet friends all over the world…it’s such a blessing. I hope to do more videos which I hope will also be enjoyed. Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Oh to be the perfect crafter, I think most of us are like you, sometimes things don’t turn out the way you plan them so you have to wing it. Take no notice of that one viewer, I love how you teach your CAS cards.
Wow Christine. How fabulous these techniques and cards are. I just can't believe how incredibly ill-mannered and insensitive some people are -- It just shows how lacking their upbringing was. 🤐 Please don't change how you demonstrate your talents due to the ignorant minority. Most of us truly appreciate you. Thanks so much as always for what you do. 😊🇨🇦
I love this card and thank you so much for explaining how you did the bees, very helpful. Why do people complain - beats me - they must be so miserable and after all, you do all this free, they should be extremely grateful! Hugs x
Thank you for another great video. It is a privilege to observe your thought processes and benefit from your clever tips and creative ideas. I am learning so much and looking forward to the next video. You are appreciated.❤
Oh Chris….I don’t think you realise how all of your lovely tutorials mean to us. Even if we haven’t got all the items that you use….we can always find something similar. Do you live in your craft room…I’m sure hubby misses you and hope he supplies you with drinks and snacks. 😂😂 just carry on with what you’re soo good at. I look forward every day hoping there’s a new one. ❤
What lovely things to read from you Leta, I fell as though I have so many friends from all over the world! It delights me that you enjoy what I do! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I love that you share your thoughts and reasons for your process… it helps to know that I am on the same struggle bus and to keep trying. I love how you show us how to use my tools differently. A fragment of the stencil… Brilliant. THANK YOU
I really love both cards. Beautiful. It makes me sad that it's the critical things people say that stick with us. I love your videos... they are like joining a lovely friend on her creative journey. I find it quite helpful to see the how and why of things...I always take away a helpful tip. You do an amazing job!
Such a cheerful card…..it’s lovely 🥰! Thank you for sharing how you made it with us. Oh another note…..why is it, in a sea of compliments, the comment of an unhappy person can affect us so? It’s often the case with so many of us. Please know that you are respected, enjoyed, appreciated for sharing your creations and your process with us. Don’t let bullies steal your joy. You, my dear, are perfect just the way you are ♥️♥️
Lovely cards. Please don’t change your presentation style. I really enjoy the fact you just sit down and talk us through your thought process. After all, it’s what most of us have to do if we want to achieve a similar look. 😊
It's gorgeous, Christine! You have such a 'calming' voice so it's wonderful to learn from you, especially when I tend to sometimes get frustrated in the craft room, like when these ole hands don't work like I want them to, or when I've lost a tiny die cut I find it later, stuck to my elbow LOL. Thanks, so much, for sharing, Christine...gentle hugs from Canada
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. I like seeing your creative process. It helps me understand why you took that step. I’ve learned many tips from you. Keep your tutorials coming! Mama said, if you can’t say nuthin nice, don’t say nuthin at all.
Thank you so much Christine for sharing your time and effort with us all. I really really enjoyed watching you create this Elegant and Stylish card. I really really don’t understand others when they say thing’s like your not organised and don’t know what your doing?!!!! That’s utter rubbish and I don’t like that type of comment.it’s so rude and unnecessary too. I really really love ❤️ this card. You give me so much inspiration with making my card’s, I’m so glad I found you. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Nice idea for a friend of my daughter who is a little obsessive about bees! Personally, I like that you show the whole process or at least most of it. I understand why people do the 'here is one I made earlier' and have all the parts ready to just assemble, but for me I like your style so thank you.
Hey Christine I just love your cards. 💃 They are so classy. Make lots of cards from yourself. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 from Katrin and many, many thanks for that.👍🏼 I'm already looking forward to the next video. Bye for now. 👋 Please stay healthy 🍀
I’ve only just found your videos, I’ve subscribed (will also share your videos with a friend😊) appreciate all the time, effort and work you put into showing us how, why and the extra tips. Thank you for doing you.
LOVE IT. Not that many designers do clean&simple because using only white you need more imagination to make it shine - you did that. I love both versions but the last one with a bee is especially special and inspiring. I will do this, and since I do not have hexagon stencil and dies, I have circle punchers the same size, so I will use them and butterflies instead of bee. Thank you.
Christine- I love hearing your thought process. I have no idea why a viewer would say such a thing? What happened to - if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything? Please don’t change how you make your videos, I learn so much from you and benefit from your thought process. If that one viewer doesn’t appreciate your style- there’s many other card makers on You Tube, move on! Thank you for sharing your talent with; the rest of us who appreciate you 🥰
Oh Chris, I so love your thought process! You give me so much inspiration! I love the tip on using the double sided tape on the bees! That is super! I read through all the comments and I say “YOU GO GIRL AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST, TEACHING US”. The cards are both beautiful!💜🤗💞💞💞💞
I like your style and your thought processes. Please do not change. If I wanted something different I would not have subscribed. Some people are just weird😂
Chrissie, I really enjoyed this video - there’s a number of excellent tips throughout and your gentle, almost conversational style is right up my street! I’m very grateful for you sharing your creative thinking process. It is very helpful - as your artistry is something I admire very much and to hear you talk through your process and decision making helps me with the CAS style of card - which is not my natural creative style. I watch your videos because I want to learn more about the style and the process so my question to your viewer who made the unpleasant comment would be “why are you watching if you don’t want to learn how to work through design decisions?” Please do not be deterred by such an unpleasant person. Your style is greatly appreciated and valued.
Bless you Amanda, my response to that person was to wonder if they would be trying the technique on that particular video ( the Letterpress with dies one) ! Who knows! I appreciate your support... Always! ❤️❤️❤️
You are a creative person you’re an artist, and as we do things, we change our mind if someone wants some 123 steps, let them buy card kits that tells them exactly what to do and where to put things that’s not the artistic side of card making so no worries I love listening to your thought process
I've only recently found you, and truly appreciate your "organic" approach. 😊 As card makers we know the process is rarely straightforward. When I begin, I often have a vague idea, or I have a clear idea of where I'm going, but either way, it inevitably changes along the way as a result of my skills not being up to par for my idea, or missing some component and making do. Your videos are a wonderful reminder that we are all together in this. Thank you for being you and doing you - it's wonderful.
One last thing, my husband's family have been beekeepers here in California for several generations. My father-in-law will be turning 100 next month and I've been trying to come up with just the right idea for his birthday card for the family celebration. And while I don't have a bee die, I will be trying my hand at a version of this - thanks so much for the inspiration. 🤗
Thank you, you're so sweet. I've decided this birthday bash is the excuse I needed to invest in a bee stamp and die set of my own. I really love your work, so inspiring, and it very much mirrors my taste. I'm so glad I found you and CAS card making. ❤
Hi Christine, I've only recently discovered your vids, but love your cas cards and the process. You remind us it's ok to make mistakes or change your mind mid flow. Mind you, I also love that there's no such thing as a mistake in card making, just a different way of doing something 😁. Please don't change your way of presenting!
Great card! I enjoy the way you share your thought process. Learn several new things. Like playing on copy paper before using good paper. Using vellum as a mask or making your own stencil. Keep up the good work.
I would never have thought of that oval over the stencil idea to isolate the design in an area. Thank you Christine for your generous sharing of skills. Love this!
I love your monochromatic cards and have started making them myself. I just did one with a raised diecut greeting all in vanilla cardstock and added two leaves using the embossed catalog page. Turned out beautifully! Thank you for the inspiration.
Hi. What lovely cards. You have been a busy 🐝! Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills and ideas, they're marvelous. Regarding the critical viewers comments, I enjoy seeing the whole process from thought to finished product and everything in-between as it all provides information, tips and inspiration. It's good to look, listen and learn. 😊
Thank you Christine for your dedication to providing us with fabulous inspiration. I love visiting your channel and I always enjoy your tutorials. Stay well. From Canada 🇨🇦 Jo
A new viewer to your videos Chris and really enjoying them! I love clean and simple cards and have picked up quite a few tips and tricks. Thank you for great ideas and for sharing!
Holy cow! What happened to if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all? Thank you Christine Stokes for producing your videos your way. Ice for one thoroughly enjoyed hearing what your creative process is. I am so lineal and wrecked and getting to where I go that I’m really happy With my results. I love seeing your mental gymnastics and how you get to the finished product. Your videos have only made my crafting better and I appreciate you
I find your videos extremely relaxing, and your voice very calming..... I love the fact of how you take us through your creative process! It is really beneficial to someone like me, who is a " visual learner". Never mind the naysayer, she has probably nothing better to do with her time. Just keep on doing, what you do so well 💅💅💅💅💅
Another wonderful video. I love learning your thought process for making cards. My main reason for watching videos is to learn the techniques and thoughts that lead to the beautiful result. In my experience, many other videos that are "prepared" are made for selling new products. Please continue doing what you do!!
Ooh pay not attention to whoever said you weren't prepared! The whole reason we craft is that we make what we feel like doing at the time. Even when we have a vague idea ot might not look right so it needs something else. Its the process of crafting its personal art. You very kindly share those thought with us. I think you do s great job❤❤
I like to watch the process you go through when making your cards. It gives me ideas on how to change and improve my own. Never mind the nay sayers and carry on doing what your doing.❤️
How can people be so rude. You clearly know what you are doing….. and it helps us crafters when you change something or try something out and decide it doesn’t work. Carry on crafting Christine……
It was a lovely flower die from the German company. You used it. I got as far as ordering it but the order wouldn’t go through. I’ll give it another try when I’m feeling digitally brave. Or I’ll ring in my best a level German!! Best wishes…. Linda.
How rude of that person to say such hurtful comments, please ignore her!!! If she didn’t have anything nice to say, she shouldn’t have said anything at all!!! If she didn’t like your video, then she should’ve just moved on, no need to be impolite😡!!! I’m sorry you had to experience that😔. On another note, it’s so impressive how you turn a simple card to something So Elegant!!! As always, Thank you for sharing !!!
I really love your style and creativity. You make absolutely beautiful cards. I find it very sad that there are always people who have to spread their negative comments. Please don’t let their no good opinions get to you. It’s not worth it. Besides there are so many lovely comments on your videos. Just stay focused on them and try to ignore the other ones.
Thank you, Christine. At 73 i regularly get confused. Never have I been confused in any of your tutorials.
I'm so glad!
Oh my! Some people are just ungrateful. I ALWAYS enjoy and learn from your videos! Pay no attention to the negative people. I'm grateful you take the time to make and share videos!
Thanks so kind and truly appreciated…thank you 🤍🤍🤍

I love this card and thank you so much for explaining how you did the bees, very helpful. Why do people complain - beats me - they must be so miserable and after all, you do all this free, they should be extremely grateful! Hugs x
Thanks Mandy🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for another great video. It is a privilege to observe your thought processes and benefit from your clever tips and creative ideas. I am learning so much and looking forward to the next video. You are appreciated.❤
Thanks so much Kay, is so reassuring to know that what I do is enjoyed by so many like minded crafters. I so appreciate your comments. 🥰🥰🥰
Oh Chris….I don’t think you realise how all of your lovely tutorials mean to us. Even if we haven’t got all the items that you use….we can always find something similar. Do you live in your craft room…I’m sure hubby misses you and hope he supplies you with drinks and snacks. 😂😂 just carry on with what you’re soo good at. I look forward every day hoping there’s a new one. ❤
What lovely things to read from you Leta, I fell as though I have so many friends from all over the world! It delights me that you enjoy what I do! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely stunning ❤️❤️❤️. Mean people, really shouldn’t comment out loud! We all love you, just the way you are!
Thanks so much Angela❤️❤️❤️
I love that you share your thoughts and reasons for your process… it helps to know that I am on the same struggle bus and to keep trying. I love how you show us how to use my tools differently. A fragment of the stencil… Brilliant. THANK YOU
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
I really love both cards. Beautiful. It makes me sad that it's the critical things people say that stick with us. I love your videos... they are like joining a lovely friend on her creative journey. I find it quite helpful to see the how and why of things...I always take away a helpful tip. You do an amazing job!
Thank you so much, I feel as though I have a world of friends to share my work with! 😘
Love how you talk us through your thinking.
Helps me expand on what I am doing.
Thank you for these positive thoughts! 🤍❤️❤️
Such a cheerful card…..it’s lovely 🥰! Thank you for sharing how you made it with us.
Oh another note…..why is it, in a sea of compliments, the comment of an unhappy person can affect us so? It’s often the case with so many of us. Please know that you are respected, enjoyed, appreciated for sharing your creations and your process with us. Don’t let bullies steal your joy. You, my dear, are perfect just the way you are ♥️♥️
Cindy, this is so kind of you, it means a lot to feel your warmth of spirit... Thank you so very much. 🥰🥰🥰
Stunning white on white xxx
Thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍
Lovely cards. Please don’t change your presentation style. I really enjoy the fact you just sit down and talk us through your thought process. After all, it’s what most of us have to do if we want to achieve a similar look. 😊
Thank you Sue, I’ll try to carry on as ever! 😊🤍🤍🤍
OMG don't change a bit!!!!!
Thanks again
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and thought process. I love the way you craft. This one such a clean lovely sample.
Thank you so much!🥰🥰🥰
Love BOTH Cards! I really enjoy your videos Christine. Thank yo for all you do. xo
Thank you Donna, I really appreciate your support! 🤍🤍🤍
It's gorgeous, Christine! You have such a 'calming' voice so it's wonderful to learn from you, especially when I tend to sometimes get frustrated in the craft room, like when these ole hands don't work like I want them to, or when I've lost a tiny die cut I find it later, stuck to my elbow LOL. Thanks, so much, for sharing, Christine...gentle hugs from Canada
Thank you Nancy I really appreciate your kind words! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. I like seeing your creative process. It helps me understand why you took that step. I’ve learned many tips from you. Keep your tutorials coming! Mama said, if you can’t say nuthin nice, don’t say nuthin at all.
Thank you Veronica, I appreciate you taking the time to write this really lovely comment, it means a lot! 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much Christine for sharing your time and effort with us all. I really really enjoyed watching you create this Elegant and Stylish card. I really really don’t understand others when they say thing’s like your not organised and don’t know what your doing?!!!! That’s utter rubbish and I don’t like that type of comment.it’s so rude and unnecessary too. I really really love ❤️ this card. You give me so much inspiration with making my card’s, I’m so glad I found you. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
As ever, thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Nice idea for a friend of my daughter who is a little obsessive about bees! Personally, I like that you show the whole process or at least most of it. I understand why people do the 'here is one I made earlier' and have all the parts ready to just assemble, but for me I like your style so thank you.
Thanks so much, I try to get a balance of a few pre-prepared things and showing the processes so that the videos aren't too tedious! 🥰🥰🥰
Really a terrific card and love your thought process as you create. PS - I think you are very organized!!
Thank you so much for this vote of confidence! I truly appreciate it! 🤍🤍🤍
Don’t listen to that hateful person who has to downgrade other people! I love your videos and how you explain things, keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Debbie I appreciate your support! 🤍🤍🤍
Hey Christine
I just love your cards. 💃
They are so classy.
Make lots of cards from yourself.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 from Katrin and many, many thanks for that.👍🏼
I'm already looking forward to the next video.
Bye for now. 👋
Please stay healthy 🍀
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
I love watching your videos. Thank you..for sharing your creativity.
Thank you so very much 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve only just found your videos, I’ve subscribed (will also share your videos with a friend😊) appreciate all the time, effort and work you put into showing us how, why and the extra tips. Thank you for doing you.
Thank you so much for this, I appreciate your comments and thanks for subscribing! 🤍🤍🤍
LOVE IT. Not that many designers do clean&simple because using only white you need more imagination to make it shine - you did that. I love both versions but the last one with a bee is especially special and inspiring. I will do this, and since I do not have hexagon stencil and dies, I have circle punchers the same size, so I will use them and butterflies instead of bee. Thank you.
Have lots of fun!😊😊😊
Christine- I love hearing your thought process. I have no idea why a viewer would say such a thing? What happened to - if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything? Please don’t change how you make your videos, I learn so much from you and benefit from your thought process. If that one viewer doesn’t appreciate your style- there’s many other card makers on You Tube, move on! Thank you for sharing your talent with; the rest of us who appreciate you 🥰
That is so very kind Mechelle, thank you so much for this! 🤍🤍🤍
Oh Chris, I so love your thought process! You give me so much inspiration! I love the tip on using the double sided tape on the bees! That is super! I read through all the comments and I say “YOU GO GIRL AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST, TEACHING US”. The cards are both beautiful!💜🤗💞💞💞💞
Thank you so very much Gretchen I do so appreciate the support. Bless you ❤️🤍🤍🤍
I like your style and your thought processes. Please do not change. If I wanted something different I would not have subscribed. Some people are just weird😂
Thanks so much for this lovely positive comment… I shall go forth with more of the same 😊😊😊🤍🤍🤍
You're wonderful - don't change a thing!! I love all your videos.
Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
Chrissie, I really enjoyed this video - there’s a number of excellent tips throughout and your gentle, almost conversational style is right up my street! I’m very grateful for you sharing your creative thinking process. It is very helpful - as your artistry is something I admire very much and to hear you talk through your process and decision making helps me with the CAS style of card - which is not my natural creative style. I watch your videos because I want to learn more about the style and the process so my question to your viewer who made the unpleasant comment would be “why are you watching if you don’t want to learn how to work through design decisions?” Please do not be deterred by such an unpleasant person. Your style is greatly appreciated and valued.
Bless you Amanda, my response to that person was to wonder if they would be trying the technique on that particular video ( the Letterpress with dies one) ! Who knows! I appreciate your support... Always! ❤️❤️❤️
Chrissie, it isn’t hard - you’re such a generous-spirited person and it comes across in your videos and your comments. Thanks!
Always enjoy your videos Christine and this ones no exception, thank you.xx
Thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍
You are a creative person you’re an artist, and as we do things, we change our mind if someone wants some 123 steps, let them buy card kits that tells them exactly what to do and where to put things that’s not the artistic side of card making so no worries I love listening to your thought process
That's realty kind Betty, thank you so much for this encouraging comment! 😊
I've only recently found you, and truly appreciate your "organic" approach. 😊 As card makers we know the process is rarely straightforward. When I begin, I often have a vague idea, or I have a clear idea of where I'm going, but either way, it inevitably changes along the way as a result of my skills not being up to par for my idea, or missing some component and making do. Your videos are a wonderful reminder that we are all together in this. Thank you for being you and doing you - it's wonderful.
Thank you so very much Cynthia, I really appreciate your comments! 🤍🤍🤍
One last thing, my husband's family have been beekeepers here in California for several generations. My father-in-law will be turning 100 next month and I've been trying to come up with just the right idea for his birthday card for the family celebration. And while I don't have a bee die, I will be trying my hand at a version of this - thanks so much for the inspiration. 🤗
I would be happy to send you a bunch of die-cuts of bees if you message me. You can find me on the Clean and Simple Card making group.
Thank you, you're so sweet. I've decided this birthday bash is the excuse I needed to invest in a bee stamp and die set of my own. I really love your work, so inspiring, and it very much mirrors my taste. I'm so glad I found you and CAS card making. ❤
I love the way you craft and your videos! Never unprepared, always creative and clear 😊
Thank you! 😊 that’s so kind ❤️
Love your ideas, totally fabulous!! Love your video's, thx so much! 👍
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
You do a wonderful job n have a lot of patience with them little pieces
Thanks 🤍🤍🤍
I agree with all the other ‘positive’ comments - please don’t change! I have learnt so much from your thought processes, tips and hints xx
Thank you so very much 🥰🥰🥰
This card would excellent to make for one of our granddaughters who at 22 just bought her first home. Thank you for your wonderful tutorial!
You are so welcome!🤍🤍🤍
You always inspire with your videos! I love a good white on white card, so thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍
great idea to use the oval for blending. awesome card too
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Hi Christine, I've only recently discovered your vids, but love your cas cards and the process. You remind us it's ok to make mistakes or change your mind mid flow. Mind you, I also love that there's no such thing as a mistake in card making, just a different way of doing something 😁. Please don't change your way of presenting!
I am so pleased that you enjoy my videos, I hope to do many more!
Great card! I enjoy the way you share your thought process. Learn several new things. Like playing on copy paper before using good paper. Using vellum as a mask or making your own stencil. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so very much 🤍🤍🤍 I really appreciate this comment! ❤️
I would never have thought of that oval over the stencil idea to isolate the design in an area. Thank you Christine for your generous sharing of skills. Love this!
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
Love the oval idea too, so clever
I love your monochromatic cards and have started making them myself. I just did one with a raised diecut greeting all in vanilla cardstock and added two leaves using the embossed catalog page. Turned out beautifully! Thank you for the inspiration.
I am delighted that you enjoy my videos, thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
Hi. What lovely cards. You have been a busy 🐝! Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills and ideas, they're marvelous. Regarding the critical viewers comments, I enjoy seeing the whole process from thought to finished product and everything in-between as it all provides information, tips and inspiration. It's good to look, listen and learn. 😊
Thank you so very much Deb, it makes me feel emboldened to continue with my current style of videos. I’m so pleased that you enjoy them 🤍❤️❤️
Thank you Christine for your dedication to providing us with fabulous inspiration. I love visiting your channel and I always enjoy your tutorials. Stay well. From Canada 🇨🇦 Jo
Very many thanks 😊😊😊
What a lovely idea! I appreciate seeing how you create and am inspired!
That is so lovely to know, thank you 🤍🤍🤍
A new viewer to your videos Chris and really enjoying them! I love clean and simple cards and have picked up quite a few tips and tricks. Thank you for great ideas and for sharing!
Thank you it's my pleasure❤️
Holy cow! What happened to if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all? Thank you Christine Stokes for producing your videos your way. Ice for one thoroughly enjoyed hearing what your creative process is. I am so lineal and wrecked and getting to where I go that I’m really happy With my results. I love seeing your mental gymnastics and how you get to the finished product. Your videos have only made my crafting better and I appreciate you
I appreciate your support, thanks so much ❤️
Totally agree with previous sentiments. Great to see the process rather than a fait accomplie
Thanks so much ❤️❤️❤️
I find your videos extremely relaxing, and your voice very calming..... I love the fact of how you take us through your creative process! It is really beneficial to someone like me, who is a " visual learner".
Never mind the naysayer, she has probably nothing better to do with her time.
Just keep on doing, what you do so well 💅💅💅💅💅
Thank you so much Rose, I truly appreciate your comments ♥️
I adore your videos and your cards, thank you so much!
Thank you so much! That's really kind!❤️❤️❤️
Another beautiful card! I enjoy each and every one of your videos. Keep them coming as they are super helpful! Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much 😊🤍🤍🤍
Very pretty
Thanks 🤍🤍🤍
You are amazing...I absolutely love your clean and simple style...your cards are beautiful!
Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
Thankyou again Chris..this was very helpful..❤
Very many thanks 🤍🤍🤍
Your videos are always welcomed Chris..thankyou so much..x
Thank you Christine! 🥰
Another wonderful video. I love learning your thought process for making cards. My main reason for watching videos is to learn the techniques and thoughts that lead to the beautiful result. In my experience, many other videos that are "prepared" are made for selling new products. Please continue doing what you do!!
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate this reassurance! 🤍🤍🤍
Lovely card, TY, and I have that Bee die, it's great, I've used it many times
Thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍
Ooh pay not attention to whoever said you weren't prepared! The whole reason we craft is that we make what we feel like doing at the time. Even when we have a vague idea ot might not look right so it needs something else. Its the process of crafting its personal art. You very kindly share those thought with us. I think you do s great job❤❤
That's so kind thank you🤍🤍🤍
I like to watch the process you go through when making your cards. It gives me ideas on how to change and improve my own. Never mind the nay sayers and carry on doing what your doing.❤️
That’s really kind Kim, thanks so much 🤍🤍🤍 it makes me feel better!
I never thought of putting double sided tape on the back of the cardstock before cutting out the die, brilliant, I’ll have to get a wider tape. Jenny
I use double sided tape and double sided sheets for lots of intricate dies! It saves loss of time! 😁🤍🤍🤍
Like it!!
🤍🤍🤍
How can people be so rude. You clearly know what you are doing….. and it helps us crafters when you change something or try something out and decide it doesn’t work. Carry on crafting Christine……
Thanks so much for these encouraging words, they are truly appreciated! 🥰🥰🥰
Would still like to buy that German die…. !…
Which die is that?
It was a lovely flower die from the German company. You used it. I got as far as ordering it but the order wouldn’t go through. I’ll give it another try when I’m feeling digitally brave. Or I’ll ring in my best a level German!! Best wishes…. Linda.
Oh I know the ones, they are really great, have another go... You can get your computer to translate the website for you. Good luck!
I love this!
Then you 🤍🤍🤍
Good hints and tips. Thank you
Thanks so much 🥰
How rude of that person to say such hurtful comments, please ignore her!!! If she didn’t have anything nice to say, she shouldn’t have said anything at all!!! If she didn’t like your video, then she should’ve just moved on, no need to be impolite😡!!! I’m sorry you had to experience that😔.
On another note, it’s so impressive how you turn a simple card to something So Elegant!!!
As always, Thank you for sharing !!!
That is so thoughtful of you thank you so much 😊
I really love your style and creativity. You make absolutely beautiful cards. I find it very sad that there are always people who have to spread their negative comments. Please don’t let their no good opinions get to you. It’s not worth it. Besides there are so many lovely comments on your videos. Just stay focused on them and try to ignore the other ones.
This is so kind. Thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍
