I enjoy your video's and tutorials a great deal I use them for inspiration you are a true marvel at what you do, don't let anyone say you ain't. I have looked for various dies on the Internet etc and like you think the spellbinder dies come out tops. Thank you Christina and keep up the good work.<br />We still love you and your creations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981596686974631609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-37010189574238846392013-05-25T20:56:13.563+01:002013-05-25T20:56:13.563+01:00Well said Christina!!!Well said Christina!!!ScrapElegancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602226049693958685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-14309861875244387652013-05-24T21:57:58.727+01:002013-05-24T21:57:58.727+01:00Hi Christina, sorry to hear that someone is giving...Hi Christina, sorry to hear that someone is giving you a hard time.

I like many others would like to say thank you for the things you have taught me in card making, even though you don't know me from a hill of beans, and by the way, in teaching me, you have taught countless children that you don't know also. I am a high school English teacher in the U.S. and as special writing projects, I teach my students some of the things you have shown on your videos, and let them use my "limited" dies to make cards. So far, we have helped the Senior Class raise money and the students have made lovely cards for their parents or whoever they choose, while getting a good grade as they practice their writing skills in the inside of the card. So to this cowardly person who hides behind not having to show who they are, shut up and go watch someone else's videos, if Christina's bother you that much. Again thank you for your kindness and generosity.

We love your cards, and find lots of inspiration on your site for many techniques. I agree with one of the others who mentioned that people who share their projects and ideas will have those ideas used by others. I always put my own spin on anything that I try, but the dies, stamps, etc are for use by anyone who owns them, so similar projects are out there. Please delete or block that nasty person, and keep sharing your talents with us. Thank you.

I first became a follower when I found your videos on you tube. You inspired me to buy my first 5 sets of spellbinders and I have not stopped since. Your ideas are inspirational, and I often refer back to them when I need ideas for a special card. Everyone I give a card to loves them and much of that is down to you. So keep on crafting and sharing with your fans,<br />Love.

Positive and to the point - lovely! There are some who live on vitriol and malice and it seems to me that this person is one of those. (I must say there's a part of me that is dead curious as to what they actually said as well as then being able to say my piece directly to them!!!!)<br />We love YOUR work, YOUR ideas and Your Tutorials. The dies are the common tool and as you say millions use them. IF and it is a big IF there are some similarities then maybe it's because the same die is being used!!! The fact is you are hugely talented and more accessible than many blogs I visit. You help us to be successful and more confident in our own way - isn't that really what it's all about??? That's why I enjoy this community - I love being a crafter and really enjoy the creative process - often inspired by you and others!Sally-Ann Husonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263271660869459881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-47553740373316546382013-05-22T08:20:18.195+01:002013-05-22T08:20:18.195+01:00Christina, your cards are unique.

But even if you did use someone else's cards as a basis - which we know you didn't - then there's nothing wrong with that. It's called CASEing. <br /><br />People who put their cards on the net know (and often expect) that others may use their designs, or make something similar.<br /><br />Some people are unfortunately just nasty. As you would know by the comments you get, the majority are very nice people. <br /><br />There's always one who has to spoil the fun for the rest.<br />Cheryl Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649774884030889413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-9321217731635083192013-05-22T08:13:50.967+01:002013-05-22T08:13:50.967+01:00Well said Christine. xWell said Christine. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525276279665437680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-68129964639157677122013-05-22T07:38:05.789+01:002013-05-22T07:38:05.789+01:00Hi Christina

Unfortunately, there are some people out there who feel they have to tear you down in order to make themselves feel better about themselves. (I know this as fact, because my daughter dated one for several years before finally kicking him out of her life).... you need to 'kick this person out' too!<br /><br />I agree with Kazzie Ice's comment above, that if you get any future comments from this person, just delete them UNREAD!!! Don't even glance at them, so that their poisonous thoughts don't affect you in any way. Do not give them a second thought.... just hit "delete"! And if that person is emailing you as well... same thing... hit "delete" immediately or have them blocked altogether. Don't read anything else they EVER send you.<br /><br />Know that you're loved by many others worldwide, who appreciate your talent and teachings. That's who your target audience is, not someone who is a self-appointed card-making critic who doesn't know what they're talking about!!!<br /><br />Keep up your beautiful work, your wonderfully informative videos, and your kind, sharing spirit that makes you, YOU!... hugs :) Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609848375595470299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545508832846267166.post-5278400183157414362013-05-22T05:01:47.373+01:002013-05-22T05:01:47.373+01:00Well said Christine.

Whatever happened to "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything"? It's totally fine and within someone's right to voice their opinion, but to deliberately hurt someone with words is uncalled for. If this person doesn't like your work and what you do then it's just as easy for that person to not look! Again, please continue to provide us with your talent, inspiration, and encouragement.

I'm not sure how to literally put it in English but she said, a tree filled with fruits is usually stoned. Meaning that being productive and fruitful will always attract attention, good and bad. There will always be someone who would want to pull you down because of envy or just poor judgement. But you have lots of followers who truly love and support you.:-)Cardsgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243386318742259448noreply@blogger.com
