Both your questions are answered in videos that I have done. Cardmaking Adheisves is one and Creating Your Own Pearls is the other. My UA-cam Channel is Christina1716 or you can find me at my website (title in brackets at the top of the page) or at my blog Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls.
Your family and friends are so lucky...they receive such beautiful cards from you! Great tutorial, and now I understand those neat bows! Thanks, -A. Xx
You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. Thanks for the tip about putting the ribbon around the edge. It was one of those "Duh..., why didn't I think of that?" moments. I keep forgetting to tell Cliff what a nice job he does on filming. He must be a fan, too. I think we'd all like to see something he's made. I'm sure he's been inspired as much as we are.
Super Wow!!! I can't wait to make this card!!! I don't have the flowers so I think to cordinate with the pleats I will make rosettes, they are made the very same way!!! Thank you so much for all the ideas such as bending the leaves, using left over bits of bling, I thought that was brilliant, I wish I could have back what I threw away!!!
Hi christina, another beautiful idea, also please do not stop the music, I find I can obsorb your instructions better with it. The only problem I have is with my roadband, it is so slow I have to keep putting you on pause until another bit is downloaded, but you are well worth it. The highlight of my week is when you produce another video. xxxx many thanks Patricia xxx
Glad you are enjoying the videos and making use of some of the ideas. If you have a 12 x 12 paper it is not a problem just cut it down to the size you need ... but save the left over bits for another project as they can always be used to mat and layer.
You are a top class teacher ,I love every thing that you have shown ,and I know my card making will improve tremendously thank you so much ,I have only been card making around 3 months ,wish I could spend a day with you .
I am so in Awe of your cards. I find myself watching them most of the day. Thank you so much for your videos and for sharing them with all of us. And I love the music. On this card, ( the purple one) you said it was an 8"x8"? Where do you get paper that size? I only have 12x12 which would not make a folded 8x8. Thanks again.
@lyndnic1 Thank you I am so glad you like it... I always tell you which die I am using at the start of the video Did you miss it??? .... This one is Labels 20. Ths first video will give you the names of every die that has been used in the whole series of Spellbinder videos and they will all be in the list on UA-cam. Lots more information can be found on the website too (The title is in the brackets at the top) Please come and visit.
I love your work. I am just a beginner card maker, and do not feel I am very good. But you always give me hope that someday, with much practice, I will get better. You inspire me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep doing what you do so that I may keep learning. Sincere thanks.
We are all our own worst critics Terri and you are probably better than you think ... just look at the reaction you get from the people you give your cards to and I bet they are all pleased with what they have ... which has been made with love for them by YOU xx
Christina Griffiths Thank you for encouraging me. I have not given any cards away yet. I am in practice at this time. But my goal is to keep practicing to get the cards to look decent. Hopefully, I will be able to make and send cards at Christmas, something I can look at and not worry that it looks like it was made at camp. Thank you, again, for all you do. Love, love, love your teaching and your work.
I love your bow tutorial. I'm not complaining about how others do it, but yours worked for me. The card is exquisite, and I know I can replicate it. Thanks so much. I'm now subscribed to your videos.
hi so christina it was very beautiful. i tried i bt no gained.ah! cause u know i dont engaged in these stuff. carryon and make more pretty things at present.....ok so dear good luck!!
Now there's an idea ... but I am sure he is much happier being the "Film Crew" rather than making a card. He is Welsh and because no one can pronounce his first name he shortens our surname and gets called GRIFF not Cliff .... but he does do a good job with the videos so I will pass on your message to him .... so thank you for watching and commenting and hopefully visiting the website ( title above in the brackets) and the new Blog Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls.
Beautiful, as always. Can you tell me the name if the Spellbinders die that you used for the center of the card please. I am wanting to try this one myself. I already have a list of Spellbinder dies that I want to get, and it is all your fault. lol Have a very blessed day Christina.
I love your cards Christina! I notice the flowers are a bit high and probably wouldn't fit in an envelope so how do you usually present your cards that have dimension such as this one?
Could you please advise what type paper cutter you use? I haven't found one I really like. I would like one that shows 1/4, 1/8th and 1/2 inches. Thank you so much! I adore your videos!
@Naticris55 The only way to send a card like this would be to make a lovely box to match it. The video "Candle Gift Box" will show you how to make a box to fit any thing that you want to add and it uses graph paper to get the measurements.
@deelightfulco I am sorry if the music distracts you but I get far more comments about how peaceful it is then the other way .... so I am afraid it will be staying.

Your cards are so gorgeous!! Where do you put your sentiments?

What glitter, glue etc products do you use. I really like the pearl drop products you use as well. What kind are they?

Thank you for your reply. Is there an on line store that sells paper to make the larger cards as you do?
@deelightfulco I am sorry if the music distracts you but I get far more comments about how peaceful it is then the other way .... so I am afraid it will be staying.
Lovely card, great demo, but the music can get to you if you watch too many in one go!!!
muy linda!!!
All I have used is an A4 piece of paper that I have printed a digital paper onto and cut it to fit the 8" square ... that's it
@53cynthiab sure is a great tip!!
I wanna cry, because I'm trying so so hard to follow the way U make your bows, but can not get it. I need slow motion & close up version !!.. TFS
Here is another video that may help you a little bit more with tying a bow ... ua-cam.com/video/VPcSG_ZCTzM/v-deo.html
