MACM - Love Love Love
Hi all!Thought I might try another Valentine's Day card. Can't have enough of these, right? :) For some reason, I just love Cocoa, Guava, and Blossom together... such pretty colors! I can't get enough of them so I had to use them on this card.
I think I'm in a Cocoa-Guava-Blossom phase. Do you go through color combo phases, too? I remember two summers ago, I was in an Olive-Coral-Apricot phase (inspired by this card), and then last summer it was Pomegranate-Wasabi-Pumpkin-Sky phase (see it here and here).
I've also been known to just stick with the same colors for weeks at a time. ;)

I'm first, YAY! I LOVE your MACM's! Keep up the good work. Your blog is always the first one I check!
Kristina, this card is adorable!!! Another great video... :)
Happy Monday, Chickie!
A great card. I love it! Thanks
Nathalie
I love watching your MACM's. But I think I like you talking us through them. Just my opinion.
Thanks
Oh my, how gorgeous is this!! Where on earth do you come up with these ideas - you're so talented!I think I'll make this one for my hubby for Valentine's day - not too feminine. I so look forward to your videos - you are adorable too!
Glad to hear you're feeling better today. Thanks for another wonderful video - I love how you changed things up a bit this time - slowing both the film and music down. Thanks for MACM, I just love what you do! Beautiful card, TFS:)
Another awesome card! Thanks for sharing your talent with us. :-)
I am going to try that glitter thing, I have a Zig glue pen just like that one you are using.
I go through colour phases too! In fact, I think I go through phases with all sorts of things.
I learn so much from your videos :) And you have inspired me to give video editing a go. I wish I could do it with the ease you do.
Thank you as always for being such an inspiration to me and for being such a wonderful teacher!

Spectacular as always! I love your funny little comments throughout. Don't change a thing. I love your taste in music, too. Its usually something I have never heard before but really, really like. Have a great week.
Thanks for the great inspirations! I like the idea of the glitter in the containers ... I always seem to have a trail of sparkle after I'm done. Be well.
Absolutely love this card great colours too
Thanks for another MACM :) xx
Love Love Love this card! ;) Great colors and as always I love your layout. TFS
I really enjoy your blog. It always has such elegant cards and ideas.
I have a helpful tip for you on dimensional. If you have trouble getting the back off take your fingernail and push it into the center of the back of the dimensional. It will make the sides curl up and very easy to peal off.
Keep up your wonderful work. It's very inspiring!

I love, love, love MACM! Your cards are always so adorable!
I was going to leave a tip for taking the backing off of your dimensions but I noticed that Sherri already posted it! It is a great tip and works well!
Happy Stampin!

WOW!! As always another great video. TFS
I really like you music
Love it!! Love the colors!! Love MACM - I look forward to it all week!!
I have so much paper that I will just keep using it over and over on a project until it's gone - I hate to keep digging out new paper for every card. Don't know that you would call that a kick - it's more like lazyness! HaHa!!
Great card! I always enjoy starting my week with your blogs, and this week is no exception.
I too go through color phases. Orange and teal combinations lastest the longest so far (3 months, lol) and I'm currently in a lavender/brown/blue phase. Hmmmm, I wonder if there is a "blue" moon out?
Have a great week and Happy Mardi Gras!
I love the colors! So non-traditional for a valentine's card.
I thought the screen shot of the card half-way through was a cool artsy touch and then my techie son told me that youtube uses that spot in your video for their screen-shot! So clever of you!
I know look forward to Mondays because of you!
I LOVE this color combo -- I have such a hard time using guava. I'll give it a try.
Glad you're feeling better :)
beautiful combination of colors. i love this card.
Thanks for another lovely card, Kristina. It is so beautifully clean and simple. Have a wonderful day!

You always make me smile...love the tunes, love the card...you are just so awesome. A little trick for dimensionals I leaned way back when. Poke the centre of your dimensional with paper snips and the backing lifts off at the corners. I TOTALLY felt your pain *smiles*
love love love it.
i need more dimensionals, are they hard to peel again?
Going downstairs to put these colors together right now!!
I love MACM! It encourages me to take a little time every week to make a card and do what I like doing with myself.
Don't we all go through color phases. My usually is inspired by some hue of red, but right now I love blueberry, chocolate and lime! So pretty...
Happy Monday!
MACM is just what I need... there has to be something to look forward to on Mondays! Love the colors and your card is great!
Very cute card! I love how you use the stamps. I am not very imaginative when it comes to stamping. I have several but don't really know how to use them.
One thing you might consider for your dimensional adhesive is some tweezers. They are my third hand, and the sharp points make removing those backings a snap. I use them for all sorts of fine work, such as fishing brads out of boxes, holding things still while I am applying glue, and removing glue dots from the roll to apply to the project. I once tried to scrapbook without them and ended up just quitting!

Love it.....and the music is perfect with the video.

Love the card and I think the color combo is unique--ya don't see it everyday so that's nice. Unfortunately for me, I've been in a pink and brown color rut ever since my daughter was born...ya, that was a year and a half ago! Her nursery is pink and brown, scrapbook is pink and brown, so many of my cards are pink and brown... I just can't seem to get past it!
SU! should pay for your blog. I'm pretty sure that every week after MACM I immediately order everything you've used. Thanks so much for forcing me into bankruptcy. Ok, not really, but I'm definitely adding Forever in my Heart to my next order. I may have to make these cards at my club on 2/13. Oh, and I say cold sore, schmold sore. You'd be awesome with a burlap bag over your head!! You're my fave. But you knew that, right?? *wink*
I got such a kick out of your struggle with the Dimensionals. When I first saw your videos it was one of your "speeded up" versions, and I remember thinking, "wow, she's so quick at getting the backing of those Dimensionals; it always takes me forever." Ha ha, now I know the truth!
Love your cards and the videos. Very inspiring.

Awe, that is so cute!! I love the color combo too. What a great combo!! Thanks so much for all you do!!!
I'm so glad you are feeling better.

Great card! I would have never thought about putting these colors together!!
Thanks again for a great card. I'm loving Guava since the new catalogue came out. It will be on my SAB order!
My current favourite colour combos:
1. Chocolate Chip, River Rock, Old Olive and Bordering Blue - inspired by the Home Again Simply Scrappin Kit.
2. Eggplant, Brilliant Blue, Bravo Burgundy and So Saffron - love the rich dark colours.
Have a great day and hope you are feeling better!
This was a wonderful video!! I know the longer, more complicated videos must be harder to do, but I really enjoy them.
Thanks so much for posting another one. :D
What a great card! All my valentines cards so far have some pink or red in them. I like the different color combo, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the great MACM's. I recently started reading your blog and have managed to go all the way to the beginning, reading and watching every blog entry you've made.
Have a great day!
I love your blog and especially look forward to MACM!! You rock!!
Love, love, love your cards! I recently found your blog and I'm totally addicted. To bad I can't buy a patch for my addiction. I was having withdrawals while you were out with the sinus infection. Glad to hear you're feeling better!
I get so excited when i realize that it's MACM. Ever since I found this blog it's the first place I go on Monday's. Glad you're feeling better.Your card is so beautifully simple and elegant. You make it look easy with your videos and actually relaxing whether your talkin us thru it or it's the music. Your like a stampin up celebrity. Do people recognize you at all in the real world? I know I would be like isn't that Kristina from kwerner if I ever saw you. I'm just kidding it's just that everyone has you listed on their blogs (I'm fairly new to this) Anyways great videos great cards glad your back , take care
Another fantabulous card! Oh how I love Monday's cuz of you! Glad you're feeling better and your nails lood great! wink wink
I enjoy your blog. I love all the cards you make.
Thanks so much for the inspiration. It is always fun to check in .... especially on Mondays.
You do such a spectacular job of demonstrating how wonderful Stampin' Up! products are! You are a real asset to the company, I hope they know what a treasure they have in you.
Your card is outstanding! Simple and beautiful, I really admire your style...not just in cardmaking. Thanks for MACM, you've really started something here!
My daughter was sitting on my lap while I watched the video and she said "I want to be like that lady." She likes to help me make cards, but she must have seen the difference between my messes and your art.
Loved the nail polish BTW.
Great card! When the new colors came out I went right for wild wasabi and blue bayou but over time river rock and groovy guava are really growing on me! Thanks for another great MACM!
Wow, I just came across your videos and I am really enjoying them.....and learning a lot!!!
Keep up the good (great) work!!
Kristina,
I'm so glad that you are feeling better now. Thanks so much for your wonderful blog! I have been a long time fan of your SCS gallery, and now I am a regular here at your blog each week (sometimes a few visits per week!). I really appreciate the simplicity of your style, and your talent is very inspiring.
Thanks again.

I love watching you make your cards and I love Damien Rice so this Monday was just perfect for me!
What a very pretty card!
great job on tying the ribbons.
I am not sure I have phases, but I should be one using the DS mono prints. I like them, but I have never used them.
KRISTINA WERNER!!!! first of all I totally just made you an honorary Texan for putting y'all in your video!! Yay!
Second - stunningly beautiful color combo - totally about to CASE that.
Third - my budget makes my head hurt too. :(
FINALLY - DAMIEN RICE!! Love love love him! I love your music.
Happy stamping, chickie - thanks for sharing.

Lovely card and great video tutorial!!
I love it! I will definitely have to try that color combo. I would love to see some of your storage solutions for your supplies sometime :o)
I'm constantly trying to organize - it's a never ending project......but then again, me buying more stuff is also never ending! LOL! thanks for sharing your talents with us! Shona
I never post comments, but I can't resist. I really enjoy watching your MACM. In fact, I really enjoy the style of your videos. I like the fact that there's music, and you play the slower parts at a higher speed and it feels spontaneous.
Thanks!
Great card! Love this color combo!!! I think I am going to have to try this combo.
Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE show us all a picture of your craft space?? I love how everything is always at your fingertips!!
I love your MACM! I am a newbie to stamping and to see how it comes together is great. Thanks!
I love your tutorials. They are the best the absolute best out there!!!!!
You have an amazing blog. Love watching your tapes and all your quirky little mishaps. Glad to see that this happens to experts as well and not just me. Keep the tapes coming and don't change a thing. Your awesome.
Good to hear you are feeling better Kristina. I really enjoy viewing you tutorial videos with or without music. I get a chuckle out of the little mishaps you have and I think this is is one of the reasons I love your blog so much. I always learn something new from your video/blog. Keep doing what you are doing 'cause you're great.
love your video and MACM! love the size and double ribbon on this one! Thanks :)
love it - simple and sweet!! thanks for all the inspiration!!
Donelda
I so put you into my favorites, love you tutorials and I too will check your site first. Thank you again :)

LOVE DAMIEN!!!! How was the concert you went to - was it One Republic?
Again, striking card. And I really like that color combination. I'm going to have to try it out! Also, the music was trying to make me sad, but I kept laughing at your comments. I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles with dimensionals!
Oh, I forgot to mention that I follow you on twitter! Thought I should mention it, so you didn't think you had a random stalker. ;-) My name there is sa_scully.
Love your blog and your amazing videos.
Each time I watch one I learn something new.
Thought I'd share with you a tip I got from the SU convention last year on dimensionals. If you rub your finger nail down the middle of the dimensional after it is on the object the sides sort of pop up making them easier to grab.
Beautiful tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Love your blog, love your cards! I think you should show us a video of your craft room next!
Love your blog, Love your MACM. Love everything! found this whilst browsing crafty things to make and instantly saved you on my favourites list. i will need to start a craft blog now for all the things you have inspired me to make :) and this is great promotion for SU i went to there website and actually am ordering stuff for the first time never heard of them before you and this blog.
Christal.
