Another little gem, Christine, and you always make me smile. Thank you 😊xx

Love everything about this card. I would never have thought to use a die as a stencil! And the background! This card had so many techniques I lost count! Thanks again Chris for such great ideas. 🤗

You are so fun to watch! We’re all so glad no one is watching us!!

Reinters to make bubbles. What a clever and innovating idea, thank you for sharing your talent.

I think that card is fabulous thank you for sharing…. It was really fun to see you craft like the rest of us craft

I was thinking exactly what @Candi Welsh said! I was giggling and out loud... by myself... talking to no one... And said, “ I just love you”! You are me in my craft space. Losing things.. forgetting what I wanted to do...talking to myself. LOL...Don’t get old....! I scold myself...”what in the world did you do with that thing?” You are so fun! This technique would be so fun to do with my grands when we are together...which isn’t much as I live so far away. But I want to remember it for next time! Thank you for your ideas and entertaining videos! I m! And YOU! 🙋‍♀️💕🇺🇸

Remarkable! Subtle, classic, simple, clean. Just. Beautiful. From Cheryl in AZ

Tonight I’m binging, you are so very creative and listening to you talk and mutter is like being in the room with you, what fun. I can’t wait to try some of your techniques but first I have to clean my workbench up from my last project, ha ha.

Ooh Christine! I just adore you! Your work is outstanding and the fun time spent with you is priceless! “Don’t get old”😂😂 I am old and can so identify. I never want your videos to end. You are a kindred spirit for sure. Much love😊❤️ and great job!

Just lovely! Thanks for sharing your beautiful card Christine. 👏 You've certainly given me some great ideas. 💐

You are a gem! I was watching and laughing along, yes, 'don't get old', I say every day and laugh at myself so often. And I agree with Suzanne, my workspace looks the same and I'm always losing something, not only at my craft table, but all over the house. It sounds like so many of us are in our 70's. My daughter is always getting after me for purchasing more 'stuff', but what else am I supposed to do, sit and do nothing?? Never!! Keep um coming Christine. Oh the technique was awesome.

First time I have watched your video ( from across the pond!) and it is wonderful….artistic, original and entertaining….thank you.

Christine I have the same conversations with myself! I’m 70 and it’s apparent that my thinking has been compromised! 😅I so enjoy your artistry and your personality!

Pretty! 🙏! It is amazing the stuff that we accumulate and the mess we make when we create! I love your willingness to share in the process!

You’re a Pro at this Ms. Chrissie & you have the greatest ideas, ♥️♥️♥️it & all your cards are So Elegant!!! They are truly 1 of a kind, so glad I found your channel!!! Thank you🥰😘!!!

I absolutely love what Candy Walsh said I have to agree with everything she said

Absolutely love the card and another new technique to try. I’m 76 and who ever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? I’m a very messy card maker always misplacing something or other. I now keep a magnet handy for the pesky dies that hide from me. My hubby asks how I work with the mess on my desk but it just works as I change my mind numerous times from the original plan that I had and who has time to put things away that I just might need until the project is done. Thank you for teaching me that white space on a card is so very pretty.

Wonderful idea and card, thanks Christine.

What a wonderful technique and it makes gorgeous cards! I’m going to give it a try after I go to post office and grocery store. Have to tell you…. I laughed out loud when you said “don’t get old “. Oh, I am right there with you, Christine…I always thought I’d gain wisdom by my age but “holy moly” I can’t remember my name some days…😂 As always, I learned something and excited to try along with having much happier disposition going shopping (which I really detest horribly)!! Thank you for ALL those, sweet funny Christine… Blessings, Nancy Rolfe

You are adorable!! I've just discovered you and I'm so glad! You are Real! Nice to see, and read the lovely comments here too! I was beginning to wonder what was wrong with me when watching some of the other "perfect" videos out there. Thank you! And to find that a lot of you ladies here are "older" is a wonderful inspiration! And so creative!! ❤

I can't think when I last used bubbles, shaving cream or other media, and the results are always spectacular. So rarely seen anymore, they also inspire interest. Thank you, Christine. You also shake the memories of this 20 year stamper. 💖💕🇨🇦

What a creative technique! I chuckle cuz you’re craft area looks just like mine. I get working and I can’t find what I’m looking for then there it is, right in front of me where I left it!! Such a lovely card!!💖

Love watching you! When we did this in ceramics we spooned the bubbles where we wanted them

Hi Christine and hello from accross the pond on the East coast of Ireland. I found your channel about a week ago and to be quite honest I'm absolutely hooked on your videos. You show everything so very well an it is the only way that I can learn, no amount of reading is of any help. (There's a word for it but it doesn't come to mind at the moment)! I love all your cards, clean and simple suits me just fine. Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful work and techniques.

So cute. Way too messy fo me, I’d have it everywhere. But the results were stunning. I would have never guessed. Thank you for sharing this

Hi. You took me right back to primary school, I'll bet you were a top teacher! I can't believe some of the techniques used that I had forgotten and it's great to have them brought up to the light again. Another winner of a card as well as the video, thank you for sharing this.

I've never seen this technique--and I love the idea of using the re-inkers. THANK YOU!

Another beautiful card, love this!

Ooh looks like I will be blowing bubbles tomorrow!! I have to make a card for our daughter and I’ve been looking for something that is different!! Love watching you work Christine! 🥰🥰💕💕🐶🐶🇬🇧

HINT: Christine, before your pretty new plates get all marred (since I’m pretty sure you’re inclined to add a shim of some thickness at this point), decrease your current “sandwich” to a sufficient thickness wherein you can add TWO SHEETS of VINYL between the cutting plates. Then put the die on the card stock BETWEEN THESE TWO LAYERS. Although I’ve only used this “sandwich” for a dozen or so cuts, it seems to have 2 benefits: 1) The “sandwich” doesn’t need to be so thick, so it takes some pressure off the machine and the plates (- AND it’s easier on YOUR joints!!). Less pressure helps keep the plates from warping so soon (You’ll probably still want to continue to flip and turn your plates for added longevity); 2) Because the vinyl has “give”, the die cuts into that, so it doesn’t so readily mar your plates. As I said, I’ve only used this technique for a very brief time, but I saw this on another KZfaqr’s video (So v e r y sorry I can’t remember her name!!). She’s taken it to the next level wherein she’s researched different types of vinyl and is now selling a type that she feels is a best quality, but also shares with her viewers that most any moderately thick vinyl, like the kind U.S. bedding comes in, or the kind that we can get from fabric stores, will also work. Good luck and be well!

Another stunning card Christine and what a brilliant technique. I have this butterfly and have the same problem when I die cut it, so it’s definitely not your machine. You had me chuckling when you said “don’t get old” as I know exactly what you mean! Thank you so much for sharing xx

I so look forward to your videos as they really make me smile. I craft just like you; in a bit of a middle but it comes out ok in the end. I love your ideas. I’ve never seen the bubble technique before so will give it a go 😀❤️

Very pretty card Chris. When I was a teachers aide at Preschool we had very large tubs of powdered paint which I mixed up with water to make the water paint for the kids. I’m sure it was just like brushos we have now but nowhere near as expensive. If you spilt the tiniest bit it would take forever to clean it up. We did bubble blowing with the water paint and it works well with the brushos.

Great ideas I'm 62 just got back into crafting cards spend half my time looking for something I've just had in my hand not age always done it we are totally absorbed in whatever we do. Love your chattering

So inspirational thank you for all your ideas.

You do come up with some terrific ideas love your inspiration thank you. 😊

Love your videos. So informative and gives me new techniques and such fun! Thanks

Not just CAS cards, but CAS ideas too. Some things are so obvious, but you just don't think of them until you see someone else doing them. It's like a lightbulb moment and the memories come flooding back of other things you could do. Thanks again as always for keeping your videos "whole" including some of your thought processes. It is really lovely to watch someone who's not done a voice over and edited to kingdom come. Looking forward to the next one. 🥰🥰🥰

Love this idea! I have been cardmaking for over 22 years and have used so many techniques, as with most things trends and ideas change all the time, but this bubble technique is one I have not come across before, the nearest I have used was the old "marbling" using shaving foam, way back. This is so very pretty and there's scope for several variations, thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you so much Christine, I’ve seen this before, but, as you say no fun getting old!!!!!! I don’t recommend it. But, the way you’ve used this technique is much more effective. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

I have just subscribed to your videos. You remind me of me, You fly by the seat of your pants like I do changing my mind on the fly all the time. Your station looks so similar to mine but I think mine is much worse. I love the simplicity of your cards. Like they say less is best. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I shall keep watching ❤

More to play with..thank you so much

I love your video Chris, such a fun technique, you also made me chuckle you're a proper crafter because we all get in a muddle and lose everything, keep on with the videos and make our days. After such a funny muddle your cards always come out perfect ❤

Had I had socks on, they would be off at this moment. Get old, Christine! I'm 80 and still having fun. Love the card and the video. Thank you, so much.

Oh Chris you crack me up Blowing bubbles at our age, but even more fun when they are colored! Boy do I have the reinkers in my stash, I could open up a store, well and dies and stamps too! I love this technique and going to give it a try without laughing too much! Your card is beautiful and the blue just a gorgeous! My favorite blue ink too! Thanks for all your tip and trick along the way! Would love to craft with you, but I guess watching you here is second best! Hugs!💜😘

I used to do this when I was little too. I had forgotten how fun it was. Love that you brought it out for card making. Beautiful card💕💕💕

So beautiful!!!

My dad is 92 next week and always says getting old isn't so bad when you consider the alternative! Another fun technique to try - roll on the weekend with no work!!!

Wonderful technique the thought of you sitting in your office blowing bubbles makes me chuckle 😃. You could always do a destash or do a little competition and reinkers could be the prize 😁

Such a great idea! I can't wait to play.

Lovely card and a great technique. Will definitely try the bubbles.

Lovely as always.

Another awesome video!! Thank you!!

Lovely card.

Love watching you Christine … it’s real time crafting and I too often get in a pickle and ‘lose’ items. I blame it on my creative head fizzing haha xx

Beautiful card!

It’s a good day when you visit me with another great idea. Thanks so much

I remember bubble backgrounds...so much fun! What's old is new again (except for me)!! Love this butterfly card...and technique.

Another fun with a bit messy potential! Love it.

Thanks Chris, some great ideas to try out

P.S.: Love your channel … AND this technique!

Don’t get old!? It’s better than the alternative!

Glitter would have looked good too. Love the technique.

Ooh, I'm going to use a previously created background and make something similar right now! Thanks Christine 😂❤

This is such a fun technique and great for sharing with grandchildren. I’m jealous of your two piece straw! What a great idea but I can’t locate one to save my life.😔

Fascinating to watch... and such a beautiful card at the end. The butterfly 'body' really made it come to life!

Another good idea and I do have a few reinkers that also still have the plastic on. Tsk...tsk...tsk. It does create such a delicate look.

Love this card and Technique. I have a bunch of Thank You cards to make as an order. Guess what I am off to do!😀 Thank You for sharing your great CAS Card Videos. 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Loving the knitting pattern 😀

What a fun technique!!! So simple and beautiful!! ♥️♥️

You are wonderful. I learned something and I laughed. A good old belly laugh to start the day. And it's always about something I can relate to. " Don't get old" oh boy if only those words had power. Lol Fabulous. Lovely card btw. Thank you. ♥️🌹

🐳🐋🐟Looks like sea foam kinda. Very delicate. Ever so pretty. Ima try kool-aid too! 🤗😉

Oh Christine, you make my day. What a clever idea with the bubbles. Jenny

love this x

Thank you for sharing very nice. I loved how you finished the butterfly what a great tip with die cutting tiny dots.

I am showing my age and humming the song 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' lol. Definitely pretty bubbles, tyvm for sharing. It's unopened oxides I have, I wonder if they make a difference lol x

Hi Christine have you tried shaving cream and inks ? Spray shaving cream ( home brand is great) drizzle inks on top lay paper on top for a few seconds then gently scrape off with old credit card or spatula and let dry. It may warp your cardstock if you want place baking paper on wet paper then a book or equivalent some heavy. Use as many colours as you like. Enjoy 😉

I just love your videos, you're just a good teacher. I did the bubble background and it came out beautiful

I don't have a "dirty" VersaMARK pad to use for this technique, so I think I'll stop by $🌳 and pick up one of their mini concealer compacts. I can add VersaMARK re-inker to that to fill the purpose.

Beautiful card, great technique, and it is nice to see how you figure things out!

Love your You Tubes, this is a great technique. You craft like me - I am ALWAYS looking for things I've "lost" only to find it right under my nose

Gorgeous Card! Interesting technique. That really produced an elegant look! Thank you so much for sharing. xo

Another helpful idea, I am looking forward to trying this technique. Love your cards.

You can blow bubbles like you did as a kid and they would be bigger

Lovely, must try that out, looks like good fun. Thank you for the inspiration 🌸👍🏻

They are gorgeous! And wow, look how many subscribers you have! Well done, much deserved ❤

These cards are beautiful!

Such a lovely, pretty result. You can get larger bubbles if you blow slower & transfer some of your bubbles out of the container & place them on the cardstock, instead of holding it over the container. Also helps you control where the colour goes a bit more. Multi coloured bubbles also look spectacular! I wonder how they’d go with some mica in the mix too 🤔

How fun was that! You always make me 😊 Love that technique and hope mine looks as good as yours❣️

Oh my! The fun things you get us into! I am going to try this today! I don't have any reinkers but I think dissolved Brushos should work just fine! Thank you! 💜

Great results! Broken China was the first distress ink I purchased. Love your tutorials, and thoughts on shopping my stash.

Your so patient and calm. I most likely would have left my craft space for a while. Thank you for being so real and making great cards.

Catching the replay a year later!

What a lovely card. Great technique. I'm glad someone else loses bits and pieces

Ok here so I am wondering what is it that make YOU intriguing? You my dear, set yourself apart by inviting us into your process. I am unaccustomed to see that. This is now my 2nd. view of you. I plan on keeping a little bead on you. Thanks for your unique style...but more actually sharing it.

Oh my word! Seems like I remember this technique from many, many years ago and had forgotten all about it. Leave it up to you to bring it back. I wonder how it would work on watercolor paper. I’m thinking this technique would make a beautiful wispy cloud sky.

This is a fun technique Chris which i will definitely try. At present I am trying your embossed vellum technique. With regard to the butterfly die that is not cutting through properly, try giving it a good rub with a used tumble drier sheet. Somehow, it seems to sharpen the die. I don't know how or why, but it works for me. I loveit when you sound like me...where have I put that?

I think that like me you enjoy blowing bubbles, C'mon now fess up 😂😂😂😂❤

CHRISTINE: V E R Y C L E V E R use of the "tiny hole die" to give you the embellishment you needed!!!

I’ve had dies that don’t cut well, and it’s the die!

Omgoodness was this ever a great video. The bubble mixer you have left over which seems to be quite a bit, do you think you could put it in glass jars to be able to use it at a later date because it seems like you need to use a generous amount of ink to make up that mixer 😊
