Day 17 – Holiday Card Series – Let it Snow
Good morning, all! Does anyone else feel so good that it’s a short work week? My word. Bring on the Thanksgiving! I’m ready for a couple days off work! :)
For today’s card, I used some patterned paper from BasicGrey’s Eskmio Kisses collection and also the Snow Blooms rubons from the same collection. I also broke out the rubon roller, which ya’ll know I can’t get enough of. I haven’t been too into rubons in the past, but this little tool is making me think about them more. :)
I also keep the bow-tying in the video instead of editing it out like I usually do. Anyhow, enjoy!
NOTE: I’ve received a LOT of questions about the music included in the videos. It is a 10-second clip of royalty-free music I purchased online. It’s not a real song from an album. :)

November 24th, 2009 at 6:57 amLove It!
November 24th, 2009 at 7:01 amBeautiful card, as always. Two quick questions: If you are rounding your cardstock and the patterned paper that sits on top, do you always use the two different punch sizes? Also, what kind/color nail polish do you have on this week? It’s a really pretty red.
Yes, I usually do use two different punch sizes. It just looks better to me. :) I think I was wearing Essie’s Jag-u-are. But I might be wrong… it was a while ago when I filmed today’s video.
Beautiful card Kristina, the bow and the faux stitching just finish it off perfectly and now I know what the paddle end of my rubon roller is for… LOL ! Love your nail polish too !
November 24th, 2009 at 7:20 amBeautiful card, Kristina! LOVE that white on red! Happy Thanksgiving!
November 24th, 2009 at 7:23 amlove all the red this card shows!
November 24th, 2009 at 7:28 amGreat card Kristina! You make it look so easy. I think the rubon roller is a wonderful tool. Thanks for sharing all that you do with us.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:38 amI just have to say thank you for showing us such great card ideas. I always love your cards. And thanks for all the tips on knot and bow making.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:45 amWow! This might be my favorite one yet! Love it. Thanks again. Loving this series.
November 24th, 2009 at 8:10 amGreat card. I’m sad the cards will be coming to an end soon =(
November 24th, 2009 at 8:26 amGreat card, you have given me some inspiration for some rub-ons that I didn’t know what to do with!
November 24th, 2009 at 8:38 amCute, Cute!
November 24th, 2009 at 8:44 amA beautiful card! I love the way you match up the colors. I guess it’s best to use paper pads to help match colors for someone like me who doesn’t have a real eye for colors. Thanks for your inspiration.
See you tomorrow!!
November 24th, 2009 at 8:46 amI love this card! I never really thought about using rub ons…but now I think I need to try it out. I also love the bow! :)
November 24th, 2009 at 8:58 amI’m not into rubons either but I think I’ll warm up to them soon! Thanks! I’m ready for Thanksgiving as well! :)
November 24th, 2009 at 9:01 amI love it!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
November 24th, 2009 at 9:05 amGreat patterned paper combination. The card is so cute and the bow really finishes it off nicely. Thanks for the video series!
November 24th, 2009 at 9:06 amVery beautiful card today…elegant! Thanks again! : )
November 24th, 2009 at 9:29 amI’m starting to like non-traditional colors. Lovely card, that rub-on looks so good.

Such a cute card! Great idea and the bow tying tutorial was perfect.
November 24th, 2009 at 10:44 amI LOVE LOVE LOVE this card. It is something just perfect in every way.
November 24th, 2009 at 11:15 amSo beautiful and festive!!!
November 24th, 2009 at 11:53 amCute card! It’s really helpful to see the bow tying action – helps me to understand all the mini adjustments you use to make it look so great! Plus I think I’ve been cutting my ribbon too short – I’ll try leaving it a little longer and trimming it after I finish the bow. Thanks!!!
P.S. I’m SOOO loving my Uniball Signo broad gel pen! I went looking for one after your comparison video (which was super helpful – it made me realize what I was missing) and finally found one a few weeks ago. Almost every card I’ve made since has white gel pen on it – and every time I use it, I think of your terrific cards and videos!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:21 pmlovely colours :)
November 24th, 2009 at 12:24 pmBeautiful card and what a fabulous bow! I have tried really hard but just cannot tie a nice bow. I think its one of those things you either can or can’t do. I love my uni-ball Signo pen too, although its not too hot when it comes to doodling or writing. Thanks for another great video Kristina, I really look forward to these on my drive home from work, Jo x
November 24th, 2009 at 12:37 pmOh so beautiful. You bows are always so perfect. Appreciate the instructions and seeing you do one. Thank you!
November 24th, 2009 at 2:21 pmWhat I’m loving the most about the series is the tremendous variety of colors, styles, technqiues and products. You are very creative!
November 24th, 2009 at 2:37 pmLove this card. It is not one I would have ever thought of. I really need to bust out that pile of rub ons!
It’s a good life!

very nice card Kristina, some thing very simple yet so effective and pretty.
November 24th, 2009 at 3:13 pmAnother beautiful card! gotta love basic grey!
November 24th, 2009 at 3:39 pmWow! Another GORGEOUS card! Great job!!
November 24th, 2009 at 4:11 pmThank you for leaving the bow tying on the video. I think it is very helpful to see the whole process. I kept watching the video over and over tonight until I got it right. The part about adjusting it until it really looks right is key.
November 24th, 2009 at 7:28 pmWonderful card, never been one to use rubons but hay you make it look so easy and the tool looks like it helps a lot. I may have to check some out. Thanks

November 25th, 2009 at 6:51 amWhere did you get your white gel pen?
It’s a Uni-ball Signo Broad gel pen. Just google it to find online retailers.
Just beautiful. Thanks for the refresher course on bow-tying.
