This is one of the very pretty extendable dies that can give you amazing backgrounds to your cards and this tutorial will show you the way to make full use of the pattern, whichever brand you use
I really like your videos, you actually show how to use the dies and go through the complete process. Your tips are also very helpful. Please keep up your wonderful card making videos. Thank You.
hi Christine this is my first time to comment on you site. I find that you give good simple instructions. You were the first person who started me learning on you tube some years ago I just want to say thank you . Jane
Christina Griffiths I enjoy watching you on both RUclips and create and craft. I find your videos really helpful and inspirational. have a happy new year.- jane
Thank you. This is just beautiful. I have one expandable die but not that one. I will have it though. I appreciate your taking the time to show how to use it.
Hi Christina, I like all of ur card making, what ever I have watched so far. I like the usage of flowers & how they add a special touch to cards. Can I know where u get ur flowers from. Do u make them or buy them? Please let me know & where can I get them from? I live in Canada. I am new to card making. Thanks for sharing ur ideas with the world.
Absolutely beautiful as always, love all of your projects (cards). Where do all of your supplies come from, I find it so difficult to buy nice things like you use. :D
I add a new card each day to my Blog and I also add links to the places where I buy my supplies from ... flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk ... pop over and take a look xx
Christine,I adore your videos, your cards are amazing! Just another question, where do you get your flower stash? I try to make mine, but sometimes I would like to have a stash handy.Thank You, Karen
karen woolsey HI Karen ... all my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and here is the link for you ... www.wildorchidcrafts.co.uk ... you will be spoilt for choice Cxx
I have the botanical swirl die, it arrived today but although' I have the spellbinders A2 matting basics A the largest die is not big enough to frame the swirls die....what did you use?
Cut your frame by hand if you don't have a die big enough and then make it fit your card. The A2 is much smaller than the Botanical Swirls so it will not fit that particular die. I used the 5 x 7 Matting Basics, which are visible in the video, around the die and then enlarged the rest of the card by hand xx
I see! But it is rather large to begin with - it seems to me that you would rarely need a cut any bigger, but every time you need the original size you have to spend time hand cutting those little bits.
Julie Blake People do make larger cards and they also scrapbook too ... at least with this type of die they have the choice. But if it is not for you then don't add it to your collection xx
These dies are utterly fabulous! What cool effects you can get. Thanks for all the work you do to make your beautiful cards. I appreciate it so much.
UNBELIEVABLY "GORGEOUS" cards .... ALL OF THEM
I really like your videos, you actually show how to use the dies and go through the complete process. Your tips are also very helpful. Please keep up your wonderful card making videos. Thank You.
LOL, I knew you wouldn't like those tulip stems peeking out! Great card, thanks for sharing.
Great tip on the die cutting. That's where you are the genius!
Your card turned out fantastic...It's so peaceful to watch your video.
Well done Christina...
A lovely card Christina, thank you.
Stunning Christina! xx

Lo e love!!!!
Love your cards absolutely gorgeous but what I can't understand is, why do you need to emboss when your going to cover it up with another panel.

Where can you find the glue cosmic shimmer?
+Barbara Boyd If you are in the US you probably can't get it, but UK at most craft shops,
The card is beautiful, but it seems to be an awful lot of trouble with this die! Why isn't there a cutting edge on the die?
TFS - Julie
There is no cutting edge to it because it is expandable ... which means you can make it as big as you wish xx
I see! But it is rather large to begin with - it seems to me that you would rarely need a cut any bigger, but every time you need the original size you have to spend time hand cutting those little bits.
