I was off on a wild goose chase watching this. I love the Craft Emotions die but evidently very few vendors carry the brand. I've had a clear stamp set on my wish list for ages BUT I've had no luck finding one in stock anywhere either. I saw some similar snowdrop dies but they didn't appeal. I had the same problem with the corner dies. They didn't even appear on my search! All three cards are so wonderful. I'm forever showing my daughter what can be done with a simple die cut and some shaping or coloring (yours, of course).
The snowdrop is delightful - you're right, the mount makes all the difference. My sister-in-law's birthday is in Feb so it would be perfect. BTW the green bit is at the tips of the inner/short petals. I so agree a out the smell of ivy - wet nappies!😮
What beautiful cards. Love them both. Thanks for passing on the Craft Shop in the New Forest. I was really disappointed last time we went to Lymington to find that the dedicated craft shop for the local hospice had closed down.
I just love the snowdrop die but I must those are two beautiful cards, the more I watch you work, the more I think of using dies instead of stamps. Jenny 😊❤
Hi. I think your cards are wonderful and I love that little ivy die. I have been on the lookout for a nice one for possibly as many years as you were trying to get your hands on that other die!😂 Thank you for sharing this super video and have a lovely day.😊
Absolutely beautiful, I have a pot of snowdrop just starting to flower here in NZ and I agree, they are fabulous flowers. Very envious of all the choices for craft supplies in UK, very expensive to ship to NZ normally but I always very much enjoy your choices xx
Stunning as usual, I always think it's a shame snowdrops are out for so short a time. I have a beautiful rubber stamp and although not a big fan of cutting out, for snowdrops it's worth it😂. I will have to try white on white next spring, saves on colouring😆 I have a complaint... Can you stop buying dies that have then sold out🤣🤣. The green eyed monster has been raising it's head again lately😉 Eleanor xx
I love the white on white, I've never actually made an all white card because I love colour. But your card is gorgeous Christine so I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for sharing 👏❣️🌹
Beautifully done Christine. So sophisticated. Love them. Love snowdrops they were one of my Mums favourite flowers. Thanks as always for sharing. Stunning.
Recently I purchased some ballpoint glue pens from amazon. They come in various colors, and they come with refills. I was apprehensive, but I am absolutely thrilled with the way they work and how well the glue sticks. My guess is if you decide to purchase some you will be thrilled with them too.

@@joannclupper7902 I have several ball tipped glue pens plus various felt tipped pens in different widths. I couldn't see the brand you mentioned on the UK Amazon site. I don't know when I would use coloured glue, but thanks so much for your recommendation.
Beautiful cards as usual. Love the idea of vellum. Would not have thought of that. Thank you. The snowdrop card is very versatile. Plain with no sentiment on the front is lovely. Inside could be ‘thinking of you’, ‘Christmas’, ‘sympathy’ …… Thank you again for sharing.
As usual, you took lovely little dies and brought them to life! I adore them both and the addition of the vellum behind the ivy is perfect. Thanks Christine!!
Great dies and beautiful cards, as always. I am going to use your coloring technique on a fern cut I have. I always seem to learn something new watching your videos. Thanks
Two superb cards!! The dies are beautiful I enjoy watching your colouring technique the dies look so realistic when you have finished colouring, using the velum as you did looked so lovely. Thank you and take care.
The vellum under the one panel looks so pretty and just gives that soft/dreamy/hazy feel to it, love the ivy. Your snowdrop flower card is gorgeous too. What a difference it makes when you round those blooms. Two stunning cards, two stunning dies! Hugs, Brenda
Hi, Christine, love your style! I have found an online company here in the US who imports Craft Emotions dies. They have let me know they would try to order the ivy die & the snowdrop die, if I can supply both of the product numbers. Would you be willing to share their numbers with me?? This company is putting in an order with them the first of August. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge & art with us through your blog. Sherry
Just love it as always. BTW, I love the MB corner addinton collage die....any ideas where I can get it from? I tried couple of stores here in Canada but I think I may be out of luck. I am in the same boat as you were over the snowdrop die. Any help will be much appreciated.....thanks. Andrea.
I have found the series really hard to come by, I just spotted this in on ones of my favourite sites but as soon as I mentioned where I got it they sold out!
I don't think they made great numbers of them, I saw some once at a craft fair and didn't buy them as I thought that were rather expensive but later when I then decided that I really wanted them, I couldn't find them anywhere. Good luck in your search!
I love white on white but could you use some more colour for cards for people with dementia as they have difficulty in discerning shapes the same colour pleaser X
You make beautiful cards and I follow you relentless, but I was trying to get you to do something for dementia people A lot of people don’t realise that they can’t see the difference or that they touch cards because they like that feeling. There are 850,000 in the uk who have this 42,325 are under 60, and is expected to rise to over a million by 2025. Sorry if I offended you, I hope you will accept this apology Bobbie
My mother in law had dementia so I have had experience of close interaction with someone with the condition. My cards often have a specific recipient in mind and so would be designed appropriately.
I would caution those buying the cardstock from Amazon US - there was only one listing. I wanted some and bought it - what I got is almost as thin as copy paper. It also, even though packaged in plastic, had one corner bent through the whole stack of paper. There was no remark on the listing advising the weight, but I could see that it was textured and the right color, so I tried it. I can use it a layering paper, but what I got was too flimsy to make a card base. I didn’t feel I could complain since the listing did not state a weight. I am unsure what your 250gsm would feel like, but I believe it must be heavier than what I got. I would check with the seller to be sure what you are buying is heavy enough to be a card on the US listing. The paper is lovely and I like the weave and the color. Your projects today are beautiful! TFS.
I'm looking at Amazon US listing and it clearly states: 50 Sheets Pale White Linen Card Silkweave Textured A4 Card 250gsm / 100lb" I'd send back what you received...sounds like an error.

snowdrops are beautiful and I do love the white on white version
Thanks so much😀

Thanks so much🤍🤍🤍
Oh my that snowdrop die is just fabulous I've got to try and get that. Fantastic cards as usual. Thank you.x
Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Thanks! Very lovely. I love the tip of letting the tape stick to your finger before cutting it! Hugs and blessings.
Thank you! 😊

Absolutely beautiful
Where do you buy ur thin foam tape?
I get it from Stix2 Anything,
Beautifully made as always
Which foam tape do you prefer please Christine?
From Sitx 2 Anything, the narrow version, you have to search for roll not tape on their site for it to appear!
@@Chrissieannie Thankyou I have just placed an order x
Lovely cards and dies. Did you buy the dies direct from Craft Emotions or from another website? thanks

Hi Christine, is the battery operated eraser that you use better than a normal one ?
It’s useful for removing over-foiling and lots of odd marks which crop up when card making. An ink rubber can do a similar job!
I love white on white but could you use some more colour for cards for people with dementia as they have difficulty in discerning shapes the same colour pleaser
