MACM - Awesome

Hi all!
This week's card is for Annie! She was in the Salt Lake Marathon on Saturday! I'm so proud of her! GO ANNIE!
I really wanted to use some of the new stamps I bought from scrapsupply.com so this is the card I made. I totally fell in love with the Maya Road "Hello My Name is" stamp when I first saw it! I love a similar image that's in Stampin' Up!'s Messenger Accents & Elements, but as a stamp, I can use it over and over!
Not to mention these journaling background stamps (the dots)! HELLO! I love these for backgrounds!
I actually really struggled on which alphabet (stickers or stamps) to use for the "awesome." In fact, at first I was going to use some unmounted rubber stamps that needed to be put on EZMount first. I had video of me mounting the stamps, but then it didn't look quite right for this particular card. I'll save the video of using EZMount for another day. :)
Anyhow, on to the video!

You are such a clever cookie :) I have been hitting refresh all day waiting for your MACM! Worth every second.
Once again, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
SO-OOOO cute! Darn, I need that name tag stamp! I love my SU! sticker ones, but I'm hoarding them cause there are only a few!! LOL! Plus, it'd be great to have name tags in any color I want!
Fun video, Chickie! Thanks!!
It's always great to see your original ideas like your use of the corner rounder and way of attaching the ribbon - those ribbon scissors are serious scissors! So did you write on the inside using gel pen? Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm trying to think of an adjective for this that starts with "A"...hmmm...adorable? absolutely fabulous?...can't quite find one that fits! hehehe! I love the look of that name stamp, too!
This card is fantastic, love how you did the tag and "awesome"
AWESOME card this week!!! I love the rounded corners on opposite sides of the card and the card front being rigt justified. I think this ranks up there as one of my all-time favorites of yours! Of course, all of your cards are my favorites...
how stinkin' cute is that? i'm stealing "hello, your name is awesome", oh yes, i am ;)
Great card! I like how you did the corner rounding on the card base and then rounded the opposite corners on the caramel piece- simple technique but adds a nice detail!
I love watching your MACM each week! SO fun! I, too, love the look of doing the rounded corners on opposite sides of the paper! Also, I saw this tip last week and wanted to share....one idea for getting the photopolymer stamps onto the block straight is to lay the stamp itself down on your paper, image side down. Then place your block onto the back of the stamp (instead of your stamp onto the block). Presto! Neat and easy. :)
I so enjoy watching your MACM videos each week! Thank you so much for using your time and effort to share your talents with us. Such great ideas!!
Great Card! Will have to incorporate that look into a scrapbook page. Quite like the ribbon tied on that way too. Thanks for all your work & sharing of ideas. Amy. ps nails were lovely
I really love the design of your card this week and I love the fact that you used Panic! at the Disco as the background music! Love them!
So cute! I always know you'll never let us down! Love the "Name" stamp -- might have to invest in that one! "Hello, your name is awesome" -- LOVE IT!
I love the Journaling Background Stamps! Way cute!
Astronomical [that "A" word Staci was looking for]! What a tremendous collection of new ideas this caused to flash through my mind.
BTW You are good for I would probably just use a real name tag.
MACM is the best! Pure genious- really! I love your card as usual. I love how you rounded the edges on your layers and the fact that you didn't wrap the ribbon around the entire card. Great tips!
Love this card! What a cute idea. I am off to lift it. And then off to Hastings to buy Panic At the Disco. I totally forgot about their new cd.
Love that card and I have the Name stamp and have only used it once.
LOVE the card but you spelled "you're" incorrectly.
LOL!
I guess I should have stopped and thought about it too :) Doh!
Love this card! This is just perfect for my husband's father's day card: he doesn't do sports, outdoors, or ties...more of an office guy, so "hello, your name is daddy" is perfect!
thanks so much for sharing your creativity! (really, I mean it)
You should have been there! She was amazing!
Great card, as always! I like how you put the rounded corners for the top layer in the opposite corners of the main card. Adds a lot of interest.
I noticed there was an adverstiment on the side bar by Google for "Cruise Ship Scooters" by Planetmobility. They must pick up on key words and advertise accordinly. If they only knew what a sore subject THAT is!
Great card, Kristina! I love those rounded corners, too! Thanks for your work on this great blog!
I've had a 'Hello, my name is...' wood block stamp for I don't even know how long and of course have NEVER used it! Thanks for the inspiration...I may just have to ink it up. I will be buying those journaling stamps--love them!
Great card and I'm so happy cause I have this stamp!! Got it from 2peas!
You are such an inspiration! Mondays are not my favourite days...back to work, no stamping, but MACM makes them fun. Thanks!!
love, love, love your cards.....and videos
Love your idea! Hope to incorporate that into a page some day or even a card. Love your work and your videos! :)
OH MY STARS! GREAT CARD oh btw love your nails and new CD been listening to Newton Faulkner hmmmmm
That is AWESOME!! I have been trying to figure out a card for my sweet niece that just made Honor Society....this is perfect!!! You ROCK!
Love this card... such a clever idea.
I love MACM. I just wish there were more mondays in each week. The first thing my daughter asks when she gets home from school on mondays, is if MACM is posted yet. She is 9. She loves your stuff too.
Have a great day!
We just stumbled upon your site a few days ago and love it. I guess you've watched too many episodes when your 4 year old dear daughter sits across from you at the table with a piece of paper and tells you she's "Making a Card Monday..." LOL! Keep them coming!
Brenda (& Becca)
Awesome Card!!
I love the Name Tag stamp!
Love ALL your videos!!
