So much fun! Yes, these dies are so detailed (even the tiniest ones) and well thought out. But I have to give credit where credit is due... You and Deb take them to the utmost level with nipping here and there, beautiful die cut shading and the wonderful scenes you create. Your card is beautiful! 🩷
Another exceptional card Chris. I used to love to ride the carousel at the local fair once a year and this one looks just like the one we rode back in the 50's Once again, your brought the dies to life and the trick to reversing one of the Hares is sagacious. You bring delight to so many homes during Advent - many thanks. 🐇🐰🐇
Christine I really can’t believe the cards you are making this year. The dies are exceptional and so is your designs. You are certainly doing justice to the dies. Absolutely love this. Thanks as always. Take care
Good morning, Christine! I so enjoy watching you do mixed media, you make it look so easy-just a bit of this & that, a little twinkle, and it looks wonderful! I really appreciate your hint about making your own stencils from dies. I have used several times & it really extends the usefulness of your supplies. Thanks for another great card & a great start to the day!
I have enjoyed watching you do a "Grunge Like" background for the "Prissy Like Carousel" focal point. Really beautiful card for any occasion! 🥳 Thanks!
My goodness your cards have been amazing this year thank you. I’m going to start saving now so I can afford the calendar next year. The Gummiapan dies have been excellent so far. Marvellous xx
Love this card and the advent series. Every day is a nice little surprise and to see what you do! Always unique and wonderful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and inspiring us!
😂😂😂 it’s so much easier for me to hear when you think aloud… thank you for sharing your thought process, I have learned so much and improved my card making thanks to you
I am so grateful for your videos every day!! Without this I would be out of ideas on many days of the calendar - just like today. I thought I was being creative - but it's just nothing compared to your great ideas and explanations. Thanks so much! ❤
The hare reminds me of the huge rabbit we had he was a Flemish giant and was a house rabbit but when in the garden he ran and kicked his legs out like the die. The card is wonderful Christine I love a carousel 🎠
Lovely idea. The more you do this I really want to get back into my craftroom and play. I have to say I do envy all the different dies you have. It seems that many companies see one design selling well so they attempt to make something similar, and it's just not right. 😊
This came out so lovely. I am so pleasantly surprised everyday. It's super gloomy and foggy here today but it beats the stormy weather. The gin advent's been exciting, too. Yesterday - New Zealand Black gin. So much fun, fun, fun. I better get cracking. Today it's wrapping. The last of my gifts is supposed to arrive today so if I'm efficient, I can get it all wrapped and just concentrate on treats and meals and relax and enjoy this year's BEST Advent Calendars EVER! (Well, maybe an exaggeration but they are bringing me joy.)
Sounds like you’re pretty well organised, I need to wrap presents. I’m going to a Christmas Market in Winchester with my girlfriends on Thursday, then we’ll have lunch. Should be fun !
Lovely card as always. I do like that dotty stamp giving you a splatter effect without the mess. I have some 2.5 inch clear square boxes I keep beads in, and recently unmounted my peg stamps, putting them in those, intending to be temporarily, but then decided all those tiny 1/4 stamps they fill up space in sets with , might actually get more use if I keep them all in boxes like that, according to type. They are already on sample sheets in themed sets pouches anyway. The boxes are easily labelled and stand on side in another clear box, so easy tto grab and bring to desk when you need a filler stamp, especially when using the rotational stamp positioners.
@Chrissieannie We all have our own systems though, as long as they work for us. I'm never quite happy with my die storage though. I am not so organised as you when it comes to doing a video every day. I was dreadful at updating my blog and website etc. nevermind doing videos where you craft and talk so naturally at the same time.
Thanks Chris another Awesome card. I always enjoy your mixed media style. I finally finished all my cards but the one for my grandson. I used a scene die to split the card, snow embossed the top nd put it back together but my die left such a deep groove that it looks like the split needs to be covered all the way across, I can use enough trees etc. but it looks too crowded. So I think I am going to cut one by hand and see if that looks better. Then I have errands to run and since it is going back into the 70'sF I think I will work in the garden for the afternoon. I hope you have a lovely day too!
Beautiful card. I have to tell you I was in the background here yelling,use music notes, but I guess you didn’t hear me.😂 🤣🤣I need to make more cards like this. I don’t know why I don’t. I love them.❤
Wow! Each day's "offering" requires more thought and work to finish, but they look so great! My only complaint with so many of these ink pads, markers, watercolors, and so forth is that - when used in a project - the color isn't exactly as the manufacturer claimed either in the packaging or whatever. I'm finally breaking down to do my own version of swatches, which I'll put onto a binder ring so it will be easy to add new items into it in the future.
Ok now I need to go look at their stamps!! lol. Another great card but not a fan of the colors. A carousel reminds me of colors either bold like a circus or pretty in pink for a girl. But I loved the layout and use of all the tools you used. Thank you!!

That die!! Incredible. The addition of the poles and reversing the hare was brilliant.
Many thanks 😊😊😊

The hare reminds me of the huge rabbit we had he was a Flemish giant and was a house rabbit but when in the garden he ran and kicked his legs out like the die. The card is wonderful Christine I love a carousel 🎠
Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Hello Christine. Merci pour la vidéo et l idée . Les lapins ça change des chevaux 😉
Exactement !

Liked what you did with the reversed hare. Many ideas going through my mind. Thank you for sharing
Have fun 😊
I want to be in your brain when figuring out what to do with wonderful dies!
It’s rather a random sort of place I think 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Chris another Awesome card. I always enjoy your mixed media style. I finally finished all my cards but the one for my grandson.

I’m sure that everything will be as you envisaged and you will be happy with the end result !😊

You always do so well with a challenge..well done

Not all colours appeal to everyone
Lovely composition all those elements I just don’t know how you do it. The results speak for themselves.😅
Bless you Siobhan 😊😊😊
So cute how you find just the right pieces to put together. ❤❤
I try😊😊😊

I did have music Notation stencil at the ready, but it didn’t make the cut !
