I collect junk mail advertising cards to use as a shim. For a perfect die-cutting, put a piece of a bubble wrap. I have a few intricate die-cuts that were not cutting well, but with bubble wrap, it cuts like butter.
Chris, watching a second time while you are on your cruise. Learned more this time. I'm at a different place in my cardmaking so what you share has more relevance. Very valuable. Thanks so much! From Cheryl in AZ
All these lovely tips. I'm going to start watching your back catalogue in the hopes that you tube starts taking notice of you and pushing your channel. We can only try! Thank you Christine. Hugs x
Thank you so much Christine, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and beautiful card. There is nothing boring about what you do or create. I really really love ❤️ watching as you might have gathered by now!!!!!!!!! That card is particularly Elegant and Stylish Too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Clever Lady you are!! I, too, have been known to do much the same thing. OR use advertisements. Or some such thing. I just don’t have a large enough “studio” so my COMPUTER fills in for a large amount of my “resources” .
I absolutely LOVE your cards! So beautiful, clean and simple!! Thank you for sharing all of your designs and behind the scene knowledge!! You are amazing!! ♥️♥️♥️
Christine, what a gorgeous card. I feel your pain with the embossing. I am still using a Big Shot and it seems like most of the new embossing folders are different thicknesses. It is trial and error every time. Thanks so much for the helpful demo. 😊
Another beautiful card! Thank you for the tip about cutting away from yourself. Didn’t know that and wondered why some of my cards were a little wonky!
These are very nice tips, from push cutting, to matching ink, and shaping the flower. What is the tool you shaped the flower with? I haven't seen one that large. Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas!
Another lovely arrangement and card and thank you for all the tips - very helpful. I especially appreciated the one about the paper trimmer. I've had that issue of a dragged cut being every so slightly our of line and never been able to pinpoint the reason because it didn't always happen. Now I know why. Your explanation (a pushed cut) makes a lot of sense! Thank you. x
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, I just like to pass on things which I have discovered over the years which may make crafting a little easier... And fun!
great card and video again. Love that you like the companys your cards make the best from there products. Allways enjoy your videos and looking forward to see your cards at facebook each day
Hi. Thank you for showing this classy looking card, it's beautiful. I'm impressed with the size of that embossing folder as most of mine are really quite small. Could you let me know what size it is please? Thank you once again for your lovely videos.
@@Chrissieannie I did translate although I understand a little deutsch….. I got as far as paying and it wouldn’t take my cash….. I emailed the company. I’ll try again today. Thanks for yr reply…. It’s a lovely die isn’t it. L
Another awesome card Chrissie - thank you so much. I have a question about pngwing. Is this something where you pay for each image you want? Do you have to download something on your computer? Would you be willing to do a video on what to do and how to use it please? I am 78 and not very smart with these types of programs so in need of good instructions. TIA
Christine, when you are printing from the Website for your background pieces, what type of paper do you use? As in what is the weight of the paper? Also would you share what type of printer you have? I’m finding that the printer I have doesn’t except very thick paper at all. Thank you so very much!
The printer is most important... You need a rear feed model so that the card does not have to bend back on itself on its journey through the machine. I usually use 250gsm card or thereabouts, with absolutely no problems. I have a Canon all in one REAR feed, inkjet printer... Really inexpensive!
Christine how do you order from the Dutch or German company? Their website isn’t in English? I clicked on your link and can’t order i’d there a translation button?
I so wish that you would finish your demonstation cards online, I find it really frustrating even though you show the finished product, it's a bit like not getting to finish eating your favorite cake, it's definitely not the boring bit. Love all your cards ❤❤
The trouble is that if my videos are too long I have a real job saving them on my iPad for uploading to TH-cam. I have to take a load of stuff off in order to have enough space to save them. I think the process of finishing has been shown many times, I will try to finish more !
@Christine Stokes I understand, not meaning to be critical, think it's because I don't want your videos to end. I guess that's why people edit their videos which is a foreign language to me !! Your cards are just the best, you've never made one that I don't love.
You TRULY can R E L Y on your trimmer to be “square”?!? I’ve not been able to trust ANY of the cutters I have, so I measure and measure before I cut into my project!!
This video is concise but very comprehensive. 👍I LOVE this delicate card - a beauty! 🩷
Glad you enjoyed it!
I learn something in everyone of your videos., cutting your paper going up instead of done is so right. I thank
You for that
You are so welcome!😊
I was inspired and made my version of this card. I love it. Thank you, Cristine😘
Wonderful!
Thx bunches for the tip of PUSHING the Trimmer Blade to cut the Card Stock! (I always went which ever way, from where I last left the blade!)
You are so welcome!😊
You were missed! I was worried about you and kept checking back. Beautiful card as always and thanks for the tips and your inspiration.
I’m enjoying a break in Lanzarote! Thanks for your kind words! 😊😊😊
@@Chrissieannie ❤️😎. Enjoy your holiday

Thanks so much… it’s simply an embossing stylus. They are often sold in sets of varying sizes!
Good tips and a lovely card. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks ♥️
Beautiful card! Love your style!💜🤗💞

I hope there will be plenty more to interest you😃♥️

Hi. Thank you for showing this classy looking card, it's beautiful. I'm impressed with the size of that embossing folder as most of mine are really quite small. Could you let me know what size it is please? Thank you once again for your lovely videos.
The embossing folder measures 150mm x150mm
Hi, lovely card…. Tried to order the die but was really difficult…..
You can get your device to translate for you if you have difficulties I might be able to send a link. 🙂
@@Chrissieannie I did translate although I understand a little deutsch….. I got as far as paying and it wouldn’t take my cash….. I emailed the company. I’ll try again today. Thanks for yr reply…. It’s a lovely die isn’t it. L
They are terrific dies and I have found that they have great customer service too. Good luck!
Lovely as always.
♥️♥️♥️
I have the same machine and had the same problem and have to use various size shims with different folders
It's a little tricky as different companies vary the thickness of their folders quite considerably!😊
Beautiful card again, sadly I still struggle with the ability to put it all together 🙈
Maybe I should start with a bunch of elements and then make a video of putting them all together!
Another awesome card Chrissie - thank you so much. I have a question about pngwing. Is this something where you pay for each image you want? Do you have to download something on your computer?

What is the kaleidoscope thing you mentioned?
I just reattached my video and I don’t recall hearing a reference to a Kaleidoscope?
I call it " ping wing," too.
That makes me happy!
Can I ask what CAS stands for please
Clean and simple
It's a particular genre of cards with clean lines, uncluttered design, few layers, minimal embellishments and areas of whitespace!
Christine how do you order from the Dutch or German company? Their website isn’t in English? I clicked on your link and can’t order i’d there a translation button?
You can get your device to translate, you can always Google how to do it for your particular machine!
Thank you Christine. Love your cards! Pure inspiration. ❤️
