MACM - Button Flower
Hi all!Wow, Make a Card Monday nearly wasn't made this week! I had a super busy weekend. Well, except for the three hours I spent watching the BBC's Sense and Sensability. But that doesn't count because it was awesome. It's the version that's showing on Masterpiece Theatre in the US right now as part of the Complete Jane Austen series on PBS. However, I have the DVDs so I'm watching it all at once. :)
For those of you who like the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice, you'll like this version of Sense and Sensability. Totally great. In fact, I bought this box set
for my mom for Mother's Day. It has the new BBC version of Persuasion and a new movie called Miss Austen Regrets included as well. You should all go watch it. I'm telling you. Awesome. :)Anyway, this week's card sort of resembles a book. In fact, I started out covering two squares of chipboard and was planning to make it like this, but then I switched to just card stock.
I'm afraid I don't have any measurements other than it's 3.5" x 3.5". All other measurements after that I just eye-balled. So if you'd like to recreate it, you'll have to do a bit of measuring.Here are the stamp sets I used, though. I bought these from scrapsupply.com: Autumn Leaves Universal Symbols and Pink Paislee Spring Fling. The paper I used is by Scenic Route.
Happy crafting everyone! Ooo... I just realized that my book club is today and I haven't read the book... oops! DANGIT! I don't want to go without reading the book! Hmm...
On to the video!

Adorable Kristina...this card has a lot of oomph for such a little goober! Love it!
Love that card idea, great for a "timmies" gift card.
Hope the re-organizing goes well. Let us know if you come across any clever storage ideas. Be well & thanks for your late night shift for MACM, Amy.
It's funny you should mention your messy scrap room, I spent most of yesterday cleaning mine up! I even posted before and after photos, it was horrible. I feel so much better about it now though. Super cute card!!!!
Great card again, Good luck re-organising your craft room.
Love today´s card! I sent you a pic of my craft room to get you inspired and give you tips, I hope you were able to open the file.
Great card, great music. Happy MACM.
Great MACM, as usual! Good luck with your craft room -- mine is always a MESS!

Great card, great video (& great Queen music... LOL)
This is the first video I see at you blog but I'll go back to see what I missed :-)
Thank you!
You have a good excuse!
One of my favorite movies is Sense and Sensibility. I can watch it over & over.
I watched the movie version of Pride and Prejudice for the 1st time this weekend with Keira Knightley. Love it almost as much as Sense and Sensibility. I also have the DVD Becoming Jane that I have to make time to watch.
Loved this card so much, I CASEd it already! (My own way, of course.) Check it out at my blog at the Stamping Tower.
Oh, I LOVE anything by Jane Austin! I'm currently reading "Emma" and I just cannot get enough!
Great idea for your card for MACM! Love the book!
Good luck getting your room put back together- your spice rack too!
L.O.V.E it! Can not wait to try it!
Another Jane Austen fan and MACM fan checking in.
Fantastic ideas here; I esp. like the use of all the different papers to make this like a booklet! The pocket and use of a partial sheet to cover the brads on the back are highlights for me.
Love this card!
Very nice card and super tutorial as always. Thanks for sharing. May we please see your room when you are all done? I'm always looking for new ideas.
What a cute card! It proves that good things come in small packages! ej
What a cute card! I love it! Once again it proves that good things do come in small packages! ej
So cute Kristina! LOVE MACM.
By the way, I used one of your card ideas for my card group this month and my card was a huge hit, thanks SO much for all of your great ideas and inspiration. I gave all the credit to you. :)
Kristina!
What was the tool you used to color the flower with the pumkin ink? I didn't recognize what it was.

Very pretty card - love the paper. I've never met a Scenic Route paper I don't like!
And go to the book club meeting. I almost never have my book read. Thankfully no one ever seems to mind :)
I really like the "book" idea. What a fun card!
What a pretty card "book". I love the colors and the stamps are awesome! That flower is the cutest thing. Thank you for taking the time out of your very busy, busy week to do MACM. I would have been very sad if I didn't see a MACM video this morning...at the same time I know you're going through a lot of stress right now. You're mommy leaving must be hard on you! It's hard to lose your buddy and it seems she was just that to you, a buddy! =) Never the less, I hope this is the start of a new chapter in your life! I'm sure your positive and bubbly outlook on life will prevail! hearts, Jenn
Hi Kristina,
Love the card but I when i watch the video it skips a lot and it did it last week too. Is anyone else having a problem cause I don't know what to do.

Yet another wonderful Monday surprise.
Also embarassed by my messy craft room. One of these days, perhaps I will get around to cleaning it up....
I love this card it is so cute.
Thank you for preparing your videos; it not only shows us step by step instructions (as if you were standing in front of) but it is entertaining to see you work so quickly.
You rock Kristina.
Great card, I love the papers! And I'm definitely going to check out the BBC discs. Someone else mentioned the movie 'Becoming Jane' - we watched it this weekend & it was teriffic!
Thanks for the great blog! :)
Very cute card!
Love the video ..as always :)
Nice design...
Thanks for sharing.
You don't know me, but I try to tune in each week to your MACM. I just wanted to tell you that you are soooooo talented! thank you for sharing your great talent with those of us who need it! I have three little girls and we all love to watch-then make the card together. Your blog is awesome!
Love the card idea and great use of doublesided paper - would be a great gift card holder also!
What a fun book card! love your video! I liked the way you colored in your flower stamp - and the insert piece!
Love the card. Definately a lift!!!
I love anything Jane Austen. Haven't seen this box's version of Sense and Sensibility yet, I doubt it is already available over here.
I love the version with Hugh Grant though......
I have a lot of dvd's with Jane Austen movies.. simply fantastic to watch over and over again.

Thanks so much for sharing this great video with us!
Does anyone have any advice on how to be able to view the MACM videos. I used to be able to see them and now they never load. I have tried a few things but I am stuck and now I am going through withdrawals. Thanks
Super cute card and I loved the Queen music this morning! :o)
