    I forgotten all about my stamping foam. Watching your previous videos is surely a great reminder Ms.Chrissie. Hoping you’re resting & recuperating from your Caribbean trip. Bye for now👋🏻

    Oh my Christine - you have me giggling again 🤭about the paper being on the floor and have been rolled over with your wheels. Goodness, that would be me too. LOVE the dragon flies! They have always been my favorite. Use of leaf veins is VERY creative too. Using nature with card art. You truly are a woman after my own heart. We have huge dragonflies up here on the mountain - about 5" across their wings. Sat one evening and watched about 20 of them fly about in the sunset - wings all gold with the setting sunlight - magnificent. You GO girl - great job!! Keep up the great job!!

    Fabulous card! I’m so stoked (pun intended) 😁 as I have that background die and the dragonfly from STAMPlorations. WooHoo. I do not have any mint leaves and here in Florida one does not bring foliage into the house. Never know what kind of ‘no-see-em’ bugs you bring in with the leaves. Love all of your clean and simple card layouts you share with us. Hugs

    Damselflies. What a lovely name. I think I may have forgotten they exist in real life. Another brilliant idea, Christine. So glad I found your channel. I have so much mint...an embarrassment of riches. it's always grown wild in my yard. I even have stamping foam as I mistakenly purchased it instead of stamping felt for a technique I wanted to try. And, of course, I have dragon/damselfly dies. Have a lovely day/night.

  • @christiedecker2724
    @christiedecker2724 Před 2 lety +1

    Cool idea. Since you are cutting the pieces out, I think that if you cut off the stem end of the leaves a bit more, the smaller veining might be more prominent in view vs. the larger veins at the stem end of the mint...I found some stamping sponges that work the same as these at Goodwill on Sunday, I think this might be fun to try... :) Thank you! Blessings!

    That's cool, I haven't stamped leaves in a long time. I think it would look really interesting to have a direct stamp of the leaves as well. Then the "veins" of the dragon fly would be dark and everything else light. Very nice, thanks.

    Oh, I love this idea. I was wondering what it would look like if you just inked up the leaves, would that work even. You would have an inverted effect. Either way, I love the fact that you come up with these fabulous ways of doing things. Thinking out of the box. It’s true creativity when you do things like this.

    Great idea to add to block. I was thinking if you had a smaller block, you can wrap it around, and tape to the top of block and pick up leaf. Then you can reuse the press and seal-it can be used more than once.

    How very cool! I’m so glad I came across your channel last week! I really love your style of cardmaking and your skill in paper crafting in general! It might have been Jennifer McGuire’s channel that introduced you to Press ‘n’ Seal™️ . She introduced its use in cardmaking if I’m not mistaken and uses it fairly often. As an added bonus, her husband _invented_ it! He works for the corporation that makes it as an engineer, I believe, and doesn’t - does NOT- get any royalties off of the selling of it. It’s just a remarkable coincidence.

    • @Chrissieannie
