I love the Letterpress effect but simply have to stop "hoarding" paper crafting supplies (including a Letterpress system). You have taught us how to get the same effect with supplies we already have. You are so generous Christine and a fine teacher. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
@@Chrissieannie Just now thinking: This only works when the die can be mirrored? Correct? For instance if you took the sentiment die, flipped it for the coloring/impression and then flipped to cut die piece...this would not work...would it? Do I have this wrong?
I don't think I've seen you use a hot foil machine but I imagine the magnetic pickerupper (technical term!) would work for picking up that die to press it into the ink pad. Knowing me, I would end up with ink everywhere. Great technique. I've used my dies for embossing but hadn't thought of turning it over, inking, embossing, and then adding the die cut. I love how your mind works. So glad you're back.
Several people have mentioned using a magnet, I think it's a great idea, I'll have to try it, I have two pairs of magnetic tweezers, one from my Glimmer machine the other from Crafters Companion. I'll see if I can be as accurate with them.! 😊
Hello! I just love your cards. They are all very simple, yet elegant. I've been watching your videos for a while and comment on face book when I can. I'm usually watching RUclips on my t.v. upstairs so I can't usually comment. I really look forward to your videos and when I open RUclips and see one, it's always the first one I watch. Thank you so much for all you share. Peg Z.
Really pretty. I love the solid embossed snowflake & then the delicate piece on top. Wow!! I’ve never seen anyone else do that. What a great idea. And I love the font of the Merry Christmas die. I’ll have to see what I’ve got in my stash. Thank you for sharing this wonderful technique.
I don’t really understand why they have those strips even now… the colours are on the ends of the boxes anyway, I have mine stacked in a unit and I can see all the colours…Odd isn’t it! Thank you for your lovely comment!
I have never done this, or even seen it being done before. I have many snowflake dies, so I'm thankful you demonstrated this technique. I can send snowflake cards to friends who have no interest in my faith-based offerings for Christmas. Your card is beautiful, Christine. 💕🇨🇦💕
Great idea! The pale colour is just right for the die. This starts a thought process and makes you look at your dies in a different way. Thanks for sharing 😊
Beautiful card Chris! I interrupted my viewing tgo see If I could the spray that you on the card! No luck so far. This a technique that I have never seen, I learned somethings new this day, no I’m going to have to give this a go Chris! Thanks so for all you do for us, Thank and hugs SHARON!💜💞😘😘😫😫😫😫😫
What a really really fantastic idea and your card is beautiful. I can never look at a die as just a die again. Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.
Y'know, I've only got one memory box die, and it's a Christmas bauble and actually I really love it, I bought it back when dies were really expensive so it's a prized possession. I love the letterpress technique, stunning 😁
This is the first video I saw of yours and since that time you have been such an inspiration! I had to come back for another look today and it's still one of my favorites. Thanks, Christine!
Wow! I haven’t a clue how I found you but I only just have and I’m very glad I have too! Inspirational. Now it seems I have 12 years of videos to catch up on!! I look forward to learning more and more thank you Denize 🇬🇧
Stunning just lovely card. I will be looking forward to giving this technique a go. Thank you Christine for sharing your beautiful ideas with us. So happy you had a relaxing holiday with your husband.
This looks absolutely amazing. I’m going to go have a play in my craft room before I forget to try this!!! We’re past June, so it’s not too soon to start planning Christmas cards!!! (Actually, I think my first task will be to check to make sure I have any solid backed dies in my stash! My first try may not be a Christmas theme after all.) Love that soft blue color.
So I didn't even know about letterpress! Awesome new technique to this newbie. Can't really make the color work but I have many different attempts underway. As always thanks for helping me along my creative journey.
@@Chrissieannie - I would love to see what you would do with bird feathers and dried flowers. I have plenty of both, and, need some ideas. I have a bunch of tiny, fluffy, all white turkey feathers. My pet turkey is molting her summer feathers; for her winter ones to come in. Do you have a happy mail address? I would be more than happy to send you a few (and a couple other goodies).
I really like the look of this technique. Tfs. I was thinking if I line up the die on the little square and emboss it without ink, it should be easy enough to then ink the die, drop it into the spot I embossed, and run it through again with the ink on. No fiddling trying to line it up and risking a trail of ink all over the place.
Love your idea of using dies for letterpress ... what a brilliant idea! I'll need to try this technique too. There is a similar Merry Christmas die from Impression Obsession that some viewers may like. Thank you for your video and sharing this technique.
Hi. Oh, this is such an elegant looking card. The style, the colour, the dies, I love everything about it. Beautiful, just beautiful! I also like your homemade spray board and I think I'll have a bash at making one of those but I'll probably need to add a bit of a hood to it so that it's more like a portable mini spray booth, if you know what I mean. Thank you for sharing your skills and ideas, it's all wonderful.
You could also cut down the top panel after you have inked and letter pressed, that way you don't have to worry about getting the positioning completely correct (and no ink trails) x
I thought I mentioned that in the video, I'll have to have another look, if may have been in a different video. You can't die cut afterwards or the letterpress element would be flattened... You'd have to do it with a trimmer. 😊
I like the edges that die cutting give as opposed to regular cut edges, which is why I like to use them. I haven't heard of infinity dies! If I actually use Cut edges i smooth them with an embossing tool.
I have some snowflake dies with solid back, various sizes too, I think. (not in my art room at the moment) this is an awesome use of them...by themselves, the die cuts look a bit 'lost' but with the letter press technique, it gives them some weight or balance...Thank you! I shall make use of this video! Blessings.

@@doloresneilson5349 you are quite right... you do need a symmetrical die, I'm sorry if a omitted saying that. As you say it needs to be mirrored!
This is one of my all-time favorite Christine Stokes cards. 😍
Thanks Marguerite❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful as always. Calmly & simply put together. So relaxing. You beat a Valium any day 😂.
Bless you, thanks so much ❄️❄️❄️🤍
Your cards are always so elegant! Thank you for gently teaching us .
That's so kind, thank you🤍🤍🤍

What a lovely comment thank you so much. It pleases me no end that you enjoy my videos! ❄️❄️❄️
Never knew what letterpress meant, but it always seemed elegant and high end-ish. I can't wait to try this technique!
Have fun! ❄️❄️❄️

Wonderful, informative video by my favorite cas card maker!! I'm very relieved to have you back, Christine.
That’s so good to know, thank you ❄️❄️❄️
Haven’t used my die’s for letter press. After seeing you I think I’ll give it a try! Thanks, lovely card!
Have fun💛💛💛
Lovely card Christine. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
I love this technique! You make it look fun but fabulous too! ❤
Thank you so much! It really is fun!😊😊😊
Beautiful card! I’ve never seen the letterpress technique……it’s lovely. Thank you
Thank you ❄️❄️🤍
That is a gorgeous card! Such a clever technique; thank you for explaining it so clearly too
Thank you ❄️❄️❄️
Lovely once again. Always good to get little tips. Thank you
Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back you have been really missed. Hope you had a lovely holiday!. Great video again thank you xx
That's so nice to know, thank you 🤍🤍🤍
I love that. Very classy. I'm now looking for a snowflake. ❤️
It's a fun technique! 😊
I learn something on every wonderful tutorial- thank you, Christine💝
So glad!😊😊😊
Lovely card. I've just ordered a new embossing mat, will have to give this a go. Thanks Christine and have a lovely day. Hugs x
Thank you! You too!
The strips on ink pad are to go on end of ink pad so when stacked you can see the colour. Took me a while to work out! Another great video x
I don’t really understand why they have those strips even now… the colours are on the ends of the boxes anyway, I have mine stacked in a unit and I can see all the colours…Odd isn’t it! Thank you for your lovely comment!
@@Chrissieannie it’s so you can put it on all sides so no matter how you store it , you can see the color 😀
Ok, thanks I get it now. I just store mine with the coloured edge showing! 😊
I have never done this, or even seen it being done before. I have many snowflake dies, so I'm thankful you demonstrated this technique. I can send snowflake cards to friends who have no interest in my faith-based offerings for Christmas. Your card is beautiful, Christine. 💕🇨🇦💕
It will be fun! Thanks so much ❄️❄️❄️
I love this technique thank you for sharing, I can’t wait to use this technique.
Have fun!😊😊😊
Another beautiful idea for Christmas cards, and so elegant!
Thanks so much! ❄️❄️❄️

Loving your channel more with each new one! Anxious to see all your beautiful Christmas makes. Thank you!
Thank you, I’ll see what I can come up with! 😃❄️❄️❄️
You could try using a magnet to lift the dye off the ink, save getting it on your fingers!
Great idea!
Fab idea, 👍 Could you also use the negative die as a stencil?
I often use dies to make stencils
Fabulous ideas here!
I really love this sophisticated card …who would have thought to use a die in that way …beautiful
What a really really fantastic idea and your card is beautiful. I can never look at a die as just a die again. Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.
Thank you, have fun! ❄️❄️❄️
Really nice video , thanks - very detailed directions which is great !

So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! My pleasure!❄️
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great technique! 🥰 I myself would probably stamp on a bigger piece of cardstock and cut it down afterwards to make sure it’s in the centre. 😉
It’s personal preference, using a larger piece is usually safer! 😊😊😊
Stunning just lovely card. I will be looking forward to giving this technique a go. Thank you Christine for sharing your beautiful ideas with us. So happy you had a relaxing holiday with your husband.
Thank you so much ❄️❄️🤍
This is my first time watching and I really enjoyed watching you letterpress. You have a lovely creative process! Thank you for your content.

My box was just some packaging that was handy! It would probably be better with taller sides! 🤨
You can make a spray box from a shoe box without the lid.
I guess you can use almost anything! 😄
Gorgeous just gorgeous great technique.
