Love this card and what you did to get it there, now I will be looking at napkins differently to see what I can do with them. Thank you for sharing your experiments with all of us. We are never too old to learn and a new trick.
Oh my goodness! A game changer! Using double-sided tape for small dies. So simple and yet in all my years of crafting, it had never occurred to me. Thanks!
Hi Chrissy, when I suggested to you regarding making your own gilding paste, I used "Let's resin" metal powders, good thing is, you can add some alcohol inks to tone the mix to the preferred shade, I've just tested mine, it's been over three months and it is still stable, not dried out and perfect for use. 😊🌈
Love this card, although grungy in style it looks very classy, love it. Must say I do love watching your videos as they are exactly how I craft and question myself as to how things would look best, this way or that, with or without. You make me smile x
What a wonderful technique and the card that you made is beautiful. Thank you Christine, for another fab tutorial. I’m learning a lot from you. - Dawn 🌅
Stunning creation. I don’t usually think to stamp on the napkins when I decoupage them. I will now. It seems I learn something from you every video. Thanks ever so much.
You have boundless creativity and ideas Chrissie. Listening to you when you were thinking of part embossing with a gap in the middle made me think of sharing my brainwave. I don't know if anyone else has tried this, but I came up with an idea a few years ago (which I found, works great too), I made myself a bundle of "partial embossing shims" in various sizes and shapes. I used a few layers of cereal pack card, cut to the size and shape I want or need. Initially this was just to help use those little embossing folders and avoid the edge of the folder leaving a line where I didn't want it, but I found this other use for these card shims. Create them using dies to cut simple solid shapes (eg. hearts, stars, circles etc), or you could use a digital cutting machine (for whatever solid shape you like) or for simple straight sided shapes just use a trimmer. Glue the layers until you build the thickness of a cutting plate ( I used about 3 or 4 layers of cereal box card, or card envelope packaging), check the levels are exactly matching running your finger over both together, they should feel smooth and even laying side by side on a flat surface. You can replace one machine plate with the "card stack shim" to emboss only the shape area of your card stack or you can use two lines up with a gap. Use the base plate, embossing folder with card or paper, the shape shim where you want it, then the top plate. (I think this also may work for partial die cutting too, though I haven't tried that yet.) I hope you can follow my description okay of what I did. What do you think of my idea?
I have done some videos on partial embossing using stacked cardboard shims, they were a while ago I'll see if I can give you a link to one. BTW I also did a video on how to avoid those lines from the edge of an embossing folder. I'll look for that one too. Here's one ua-cam.com/video/OHdw951vPDM/v-deo.htmlsi=BF-awIFcMsIGXlmc I can't find the video about avoiding those lines from the edge of an embossing folder, but if you substitute a rubber mat for one of your cutting plates in the sandwich for your machine, you should be able to avoid those lines !
When you suggested it yesterday and showed the napkin I was thinking oh not that design and couldn't imagine using that as a background but yet again👍you've pulled it off to make an absolutely stunning card.Your ideas are simply amazing xx
You are having loads of fun in the craft room Chrissie and I'm loving learning from it! Love how you used the paper napkin, gilding wax, stamps and embossing folder to make this card. So fun, so exquisite! Hugs, Brenda
Hello Christine. Excellente façon d utiliser les serviettes et de pouvoir grâce à tous ces éléments ajoutés, réaliser une magnifique carte . Merci 👏👏👋👋👋
Was excited to see you using napkins! Over Christmas I decoupaged sea shells with napkins. Yes, most napkins have several ply’s and took them apart.I’ve seen others do cards with napkins but love your process!❤❤❤
The napkin makes a great background Chrissie, and love the added stamping, and then the pretty clock EF looks great for added texture and the gold wax brings that out beautifully. x
You do like to experiment and what great results! I'm thinking I might like to try this with my blank collage paper stamped and put over brown cardstock for a bit of a sepia look if I can achieve that. Or maybe an ink blended background would be better. Of course, your card is nothing short of stunning. And to think this it all began with a little piece of plaid paper napkin.
I didn’t have a pigment black ink..so will get one ordered soon..you mentioned perhaps it was the medium..perhaps it was..gonna try spraying the stamping with hair spray first..Will keep you in my loop…thanks for all you share
That is a really elegant card. The gilding wax was genius. Is the embossing folder a Hunkydory, I wonder. Looks familiar. The dilemma of starting a project and then being stopped by an unexpected hitch is a pain. I have enough card, paper, whatever... to start again from scratch. Like you did, though, I will make it work by adapting and adjusting. We didn't build our stash by giving up and wasting stuff! 😉😊TFS❤
Wonderful ideas! I learn so much from you. Could you tell me about the die storage we had a peek of when you were selecting your die to fit the embossing folder?
Very classy. My kind of colors for sure. Do you think that mod podge matt would work instead of slap it on? Very difficult to get some supplies over here......
QUESTION, CHRISSIE … How much of your card would be covered with embossing if you stuck one corner of your black panel through the opening on the hinge side? AND would the spaces not embossed be aesthetically jarring, or would the whole thing be sufficiently pleasing?
I've often embossed just part of a card panel. Sometimes I've wanted the top part of a folder for the bottom part of a panel, so I've cut through the hinge so that the card could stick out of the upper part of the folder. I then tape the hinge back together for future use!
@@Chrissieannie 😱. I’d be afraid the tape hinge would fail and the two halves slip entering the mouth of the machine, but I’ve come to realize you were one of the daredevils on the school playground monkey bars 🤔 🤣 😉👍 !!
Stop iiiiiiiiit!! Just stopppppp....Just when I'm thinking your artistic prowess couldn't possibly be topped, you produce this?!! Are you even human? OMy word....classy, contrasty, simple, striking...you continue to think outside the box. I just want to stop packing for my trip and do this!!
Love this card and what you did to get it there, now I will be looking at napkins differently to see what I can do with them. Thank you for sharing your experiments with all of us. We are never too old to learn and a new trick.
Have fun!😊😊😊
Another enjoyable creation Chris, I love the ingenious way you use non- scalping items.
P.S .scrapping not scalping!😂
Oh my goodness! A game changer! Using double-sided tape for small dies. So simple and yet in all my years of crafting, it had never occurred to me. Thanks!
Have fun!😀
A dramatic masculine card achieved by "never giving up" I admire the way you adapt on the fly and achieve something wonderful every single time. TFS 🌠
Thank you so much Helen, I seem to do a lot of ‘flying’🤣🤣🤣

You are so welcome!❤️
Your techniques created a FABULOUS card front. 😍 I love it. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you so much!
I never would have thought to put the tissue pattern with stamping. Wonderful card!
Thanks so much😊😊😊
Another lovely journey of creative imagination……thank you Christine. 🦋xxx
You are so welcome😊😊😊
The guilding wax was perfect to accentuate the clock embossing, love it!
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️

Love the new idea, I don't have clocks but do have gears and cogs. Just right for a masculine card.
That's a great idea!😊
I just love watching you create. ❤
Thanks😊

It would also look good with silver or a little white. Lovely project
😊💛🤍🖤😊
Really interesting. I’ll have to go down to my room in the garden and have a go.

Very classy. My kind of colors for sure. Do you think that mod podge matt would work instead of slap it on? Very difficult to get some supplies over here......
I'm sure Mod Podge would be fine!
yesterday the ink smudged into the white
Which one?
As you were applying the adhesive to the tissue paper
@@bowler8 which card? There doesn't appear to be any smeared ink on the finished cards
This technique is just amazing. Can you use mod podge in place of slap it on, and achieve the same result? 😊❤
I'm sure you can!😊
