MACM - Merry Christmas
Anyhow, even though it's only October, it's never too early to start on your holiday cards. So, here's my first official Christmas MACM of the year. However, I won't subject you to holiday music until November. (Although, I've been listening to Christmas music since... oh, July?)
I don't know about you, but I {heart} this stamp by Hero Arts. It's so adorable! I just love those little owls! :)
Oh, and before I forget, I've made my card for the Color Inspiration challenge this week, and I've selected my favorites. I just need to compile them all. I'll post them tomorrow morning.
Anyway, here's today's video. (Watch in high quality here, and then click on the "Watch in High Quality" link below the video. Seriously, it makes a HUGE difference.).
Supplies: Three Owls stamp (Hero Arts); Polka Dot Basics stamp set; Pure Poppy card stock; ribbon (Papertrey Ink); Garden Green, Whisper White, and Old Olive card stock; Chocolate Chip ink; Garden Green, Only Orange, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip Basic Black, and Real Red markers; corner rounder punch; blender pen (Stampin' Up!).

Very cute Christmas card and I agree, it's never to early to begin! I'm always trying to organize my craft room. I think I just have too much stuff!!!
Fun Card!
Can't wait to see pics of how the Studio is finally organized ...
my room is in a constant state of reorganizing... if i would clean it once in a while i wouldn't have to reorganize... oh well!
this card is darling... love those little scarves!
tfs
sooooo cute!
Regards from Spain :)
That stamp is so stinkin' cute!! I LOVE owls, and I don't have any stamps with them so I need to go get this one!!! Great card!
Hi Kristina- cute card.. as usual! :)
no, you are definitely not the only one. As many times as I try to plan my stampin space to have enough room for future toys, I am always running out of room and have to reorg it all again. I am reorganizing like 3 times a year.. at least it seems. The cleaning and organization of the craft room never ends.. like laundry or dirty dishes.. :)
have a great Monday!

Yay for the card, but mostly I wanted to say Woo Hoo for Michael Buble
Glad that you used some of his music for a card!
I'm always organizing my craft room too! I think it's because we keep bringing more and more stuff into them! HA HA! But that's ok with me!
Very cute card! I hope we get to see pictures of your organized room when you are done!
The card is very beautiful
but... Am I the only one that have problem playing video? It gets stuck at each 3 seconds.
great card, vid and music! thanks!
what is the little yellow see-thru rectangle in the upper left quadrant of the screen? i've seen it in a couple of your vids now, and i'm wondering if it is some sort of TM.
Happy Monday!
These owls are beyong cute. Christmas and Michael Buble in one day? I love it.
I've never seen a stamp positioner before-that's awesome.
Jennifer, that yellow box is not there when I edit the video. For some reason, YouTube is messing up my videos. I'm trying to figure out what it's doing. :(
I love that card!! It's so sweet and so festive. I am new to card-making and hope to participate in one of your color challenges soon, once I get my nerve up! ;)
Oh I love this card so much!!
I think I NEED those cute stamps ;) xx
Kristina,
Love your card!
My blender pen makes a mess of my stamped images. I must be pushing too hard.
Thanks for sharing. I love MACM.
Sweet!
I just love your christmas cards Kristina... they are just too cute!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kristina! Great card again, I really must have a go at the clear embossing. I looks great.
Just a tip with the stamp-a-majig, I have been using patchwork/quilters template plastic as the imaging sheets. I just cut up several 5 1/2 inch squares from a sheet. Its so cheap and can be found at quilting store or any large craft/hobby store. (just an idea for those who are budget minded).
Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, that is the cutest stamp! You've got me embossing so much more now. Even found a spot to keep my embosser out for easy use.
thanks for sharing...great song, I don't think I'm ready for Christmas music yet :} LOL!
great MACM... just thought that you would like to see this post seeing that you were the inspiration for the massive card attack. my little dude & chica love MACM!

Love the card, love the music!
I love the owl stamps. I'm stalking the hero arts site and buying owl stamps!!!! Great card. Do you practice or create a card before you tape MACM? Or do you just go with it and the creativity just come naturally?
Awesome, Awesome! Love it!
I'm so glad I found your blog!!! I love your work!!! I'm stalking your blog everyday for new ideas! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!
Mahalo!

love this card! you are fabulous with those hero stamps!
I think I'm your #1 Fan, seriously I love all the cards you make.... I was wondering if you will be making a video of you craft space?????? Don't know if anybody else have asked but I just turn my hall closet into my crafting room/closet and I get alot of ideas by looking at other people rooms... And since your so creative I figure you should have some good ideas on storaging things or making the best of your space... Thanks
I've just recently falling in love to card making, switching from scrapbooking. I love all ur cards, they look so clean and super easy to do, but with all the right tools. Where did you get ur circle cutter?
Thanks for sharing!
Adorable card. Love the music! I've already sketched out mine, now for purchasing the supplies. My fav part! :)
LOVE IT! MUSIC AWESOME! LOVE YA WORK!
GORGEOUS as usual! You are such a great inspiration!
That's such a cute card! Love those owls - too cute! Could you come organize my stamp room? I can't seem to get it right! ;)

Monday has always been my favorite day but now,, its even better. looking forward to the videos. thanks for sharing..MaryAnn
I really wat to see your before & after pictures of your craft room!!! I need ideas!
Love it!
Quick question for oyu, Kristina: Why did you use blender pens with the markers instead of markers directly on the image? I'm guessing it's because you wanted to control the color more carefully??? Thanks!
Andrea
Definitely the cutest owl stamp I've seen so far! Love it :D

Hey, I see a lot of requests for your craft room pics. I agree!! I just love seeing craft rooms, and since it's newly organized,.... 8:)
Awesome video - I smiled the whole way through - some people are just so cool the way they use their blogs - Thanks!
