MACM - A New Little Someone
UPDATE: Sorry about the broken link to the template. It's fixed now. :)Hi all!
Sorry about the delay in today's video. I had a four-day weekend and truly enjoyed each minute, including pushing off the video until the very last moment! Eek! Anyway, here we are and it's still Monday, so let's make a card. :)
This card really stumped me. I had a small not-very-detailed sketch that I was referring to, but it sort of seemed off to me once I'd finished the card. I think maybe it needed a bit more color. Hmmm.... Oh, well!
However, the one part I absolutely love about this card is the curved edge. After I sketched it out, I knew I would need some sort of template so that I could get the two curves to look right, so I created one. :) You can download it below. It will fit a standard size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2"), but I'm sure you guys will find a million other uses for it. :)
And on to the video!

oh my gosh, I loved your creations. So inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Have a great day!
Sure Kristina!
No problem!! I will patiently wait for your MCM! Thanks for sharing!!
hugs
Saw your entry on Twitter, Don't miss an opportunity to go to the MN Renaissance Festival. It's an amazingly good time. I go at least once every year. Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting dirty and dusty, it's all dirt and with our lack of rain this year, it will be dry and dusty. With that being said if you wear contacts bring your glasses or plenty of saline. Make sure to ride the elephants and have a Turkey drumstick, yum!!
Love this weeks card.. very cute.. I really like what you did with the onesies..
Cute onesies! :) And I'm lovin' the curves of this card.
Thanks for posting- it probably took some of your holiday away!
We appreciate it. It's just not Monday w/o MACM! ;)
Too cute... and well worth the wait!
Stinkin' sweet card. I love how you added layers of onsies. I love layers on cards. It addes such a personal touch... Great choice on the music...
Have a great week.. Can't wait for another card challenge...
hugs!

I have that stamp set from Art Warehouse and I think I bought it on ebay.
Kristina, I finally found the stamp set you use so often! It is called:JOURNALING BACKGROUNDS SET, by ART WAREHOUSE LIMITED EDITION. And better yet for all you crazy stampers out there, it is on sale this week at Addicted to Rubber Stamps. $5.00 off! Wahoo!! The link in below.

Wonderful card as usual..worth the wait!
Lovely card (as usual)
Just wondering, why do you not use dimensionals any longer? I have been seeing 3m (or something) tape as of late. Ii am sure it is pretty easy to use, I am just wondering if ease is your motivation.
(it is easier to be like you if I can understand what goes on in your creative mind)
Fantastic Card Kristina!!! Love the curves. Not sure if its me or not, but when I click on the link to download the PDF it doesn't work??? Anyone else found this?
Thanks
Jess
I think this is one of the cutest cards you've made. I love it.
THANK YOU SUSAN!!! I have been looking everywhere for this set. Thank you Kristina for putting it out there for anyone who could find it. I have ordered it and can't wait to get it!
Also--adorable card. Will have to download the template.
angela
Love love this card!

I love this card! It has some different elements in it that are fun! A quick (and stupid) question: Are you using classic or craft ink with your acrylic stamps? If classic ink is what you use, do you have any tips for using with acrylic stamps? I have tried using the classic ink on the acrylics I have and it absolutely does not work well. It beads up and looks gross! Anyway, this is probably an elemental stamping question, but I was curious! Thanks for all your hard and faithful work! You're an inspiration!
Such a super-cute card!

This is the link to the stamp set from the designer...you'll always be able to find it here until they discontinue it. Love your stuff. You should do a Scrapbook Layout day once a week...so I'd be inspired to create a layout at least once a week. Think about it...that would be 52 pages a year!!
Hi,
I was planning to download the template.
But i got an error saying it can't be found.
The film is again a pleasure to watch,thanks for every MACMmovie.
I really love to see them.
Have a nice day:D
Great card!
I always love your cards and tutorials.
I think I am gonna lift this card.
I only have a problem... I can't donwload the pdf.
Love the card! I also can not download the pdf file.
Thanks for all the creative inspiration.
Love this card!
Would make a great start to my daughters baby shower invites... on a smaller scale! {hee-hee}
Thanks for all your creative talent and your willingness to share it with all of us.
Ditto on ebay for stamp and Addicted to Scrapbooking (I got mine on ebay)
FYI - Couldn't download template, will check back again later in the day.

This card is soo cute Kristina! Love baby cards
PDF doesn't work for me either but, I cut and pasted into an email and it resized perfectly...hope it works for you too!
Love the card. Wanted to download the template but for some reason it won't download. Help!!!!
OHH MY GOSHHH!! LOVE IT.. ok see you are making me got out of bed! I have to go make a card too! :) OHHH LOOOVEE IT!
Love the card, want the stamps, will order chit chat from SU, but can't use the download to get a template I've wanted for so long (my homemade ones don't look anywhere as nice as yours :-) Thanks for your continuous inspiration!
Cute card! I could not get the PDF to download. I enjoy seeing what you come up with.
It's Make a Card Tuesday here for me in New Jersey after being away all weekend, and I think this is absolutely adorable. I LOVE the curves. I already have a ton of ideas. But like some others I can't seem to download the PDF.
Love your work Kristina!
Kristina,
I looked at your card and thought it needed a little colour too! Here's a thought, what if you made the onsie on the left, the one sticking out, out of the same dotted paper that you put on the bottom of the card? It would add the colour you need and make that section a little more interesting.
I like the concept of this one!

PDF will not download!
Great card!!

Cute Cute Cute and so timely - just heard yesterday my nephew and wife and expecting their first child! The .pdf is not working for me either. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas - you are soooooo talented!
I was also able to find this stamp set at Craft Depot.... I'm not sure, but I think they're only located around Minnesota....
Super cute card!!! I love the curved look!
Absolutely LUVED the popped out onesies!!! Thx for the template!
OH the link to the temp. isn't working :(
Where did you get that cute stamp? I'm having a baby and it's super cute...I think I have to have it!
This card is absolutely adorable! Where did you get the stamp set with the cute little onesie? This stamp set is definitely a have to have item because I think onesies are too cute!
That is a really sweet card. Love the onsies. Thanks for the template.
another great card! I too, am wondering if you've switched over to a different form of dimensionals - no more SU! dimensionals? Just curious if there is a reason, if it's cheaper, etc.
thanks!
So cute! Any chance you'll make a bunch of these (or design another card/announcement) for our new little someone???
Love it! I swear, I have looked past that rub-ons set since I got my catty and it never appealed to me, darn you!!! Must have it now......
The onesie card is adorable. The video was great. I absolutely love your style and will visit your site often!
TOO CUTE! I love all the onsies lined up in a row!! Thanks for the pdf!
Beautiful card!!! Thanks so much for the template.
God bless

Wow super cute card Kristina... love MACM..

My son, who ALWAYS watches your videos with me, said that would have been a great card for JOHN and Kate when they had the 6 babies! John and Kate plus Eight is a favorite around here.
Look at your little miss thing...providing us with a template and all ...and on a holiday Monday. You are great and your MACM was worth the wait.
I have the same 2 questions as above
1. What is your NEW dimensional product ? and why not SU dimensionals ?
2. I'm wanting to get the lower case alphabet stamp set you've used in the past but haven't yet bc I too have heard that you have to use acrylic inks and that SU inks don't work...yet you use it and it appears to work and not bead....any tips ?
LOVA your blog !
Thanks for fixing the PDF and sharing your template with all of your loyal followers.... sadly, one of the links for that stamp set (the one on sale for this week only) already said it is temporarily unavailable..... Kind of a bummer. Although, I need to start sticking to the budget a little better.... guess I had start using some of those stamps sets that I HAD TO HAVE, but never mounted yet....
It was a LOVELY CARD that you made! You are SO TALENTED!
Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day holiday!
SO cute, thank you! Thanks also for sharing your template, can't wait to play!
I love, love, love this card. What is the name of the Technique Tuesday stamp set? Do you suggestions on where I can find it?
We have a new baby in the family so I am really into baby cards right now.
Love MACM!
I just love this card and the style is one of my fabs. Those little onsies are just to stinkin cute. Great video.
Very cute! Thank you soooo much for the template. I will be trying that soon. Hopefully tonight if work and family cooperate.
I LOVE that template. I printed it out and was wondering how I would get the shape cut out. That is a great tip to use removable adhesive and stick it onto your CS and cut it out that way. You are brilliant - thanks a bunch!
GOSH NOSE now that is just so CUTE!! Thanks for the Template..
This is so adorable! I need to make a card for a baby shower this weekend. Thank you for the template!
It's a beautiful card. Lovely!!! I love it!!! Congratulations!!!
This is a great card! Thanks for posting the template.
I'm new to your blog and I can't tell you how much I love your videos. This is great!
Hi Kristina! Just wanted to let you know I made my version of this cute card of yours. It's posted on my blog: http://jodyscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2008/09/its-flattery-right.html
Hi Kristina,
I love watching your videos on YouTube and think your cards are amazing. I started card making about 6 months ago so still learning alot and your videos have helped alot. You can check out my blog if you want, would love to know what you think of my cards, good or bad LOL. http://www.janecards.blogspot.com
Kind regards
Jane
Thanks for the inspiration. I had to CASE your layout and it looks great!
http://basementstamper.blogspot.com/2008/09/shower-card.html
I saw this card on your MACM youtube videos and it inspired me to make a card for a coworker. I also CASE'd your layout to an extent: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GC7BKLg33ic/SNICYsZzkcI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/O_61Ts4LgTs/s320/By+Ones+and+By+Twos+091808+copy.jpg
I Love this baby card! My niece is expecting her first baby and I would love to make her this card. I have spent the last two hours searching everywhere for the name of the set you used with the onesie, so far NOTHING! You usually have the list of stamp set and other things you used on the making of your card or the credits and info at the end of the video but there is nothing here! I am going completely bananas here, PLEASE some one help me out with the name of that set, apparently from Technique Tuesday? I checked their web site but couldn't find anything like it. Thank you so much for any help you can give me with this! And by they way your work is AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing!
Hi!!
I love all of your videos! Sometimes I'll watch them in playlists over and over again! You Rock!!
URL is my take on your card - I didn't have the same stamps but it still came out great. Thank you for all that you share with us.
