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. :)

lovely card Kristina! That bow is perfect!!
absolutely beautiful!
Love It!
Beautiful 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 !
Beautiful card, Kristina! LOVE that white on red! Happy Thanksgiving!
love all the red this card shows!
Great 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.
I 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.
Wow! This might be my favorite one yet! Love it. Thanks again. Loving this series.
Great card. I’m sad the cards will be coming to an end soon =(
Great card, you have given me some inspiration for some rub-ons that I didn’t know what to do with!
Cute, Cute!
A 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!!
I 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! :)
I’m not into rubons either but I think I’ll warm up to them soon! Thanks! I’m ready for Thanksgiving as well! :)
I love it!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
Great patterned paper combination. The card is so cute and the bow really finishes it off nicely. Thanks for the video series!
Very beautiful card today…elegant! Thanks again! : )
I’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.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card. It is something just perfect in every way.
So beautiful and festive!!!
Cute 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!
lovely colours :)
Beautiful 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
Oh so beautiful. You bows are always so perfect. Appreciate the instructions and seeing you do one. Thank you!
What I’m loving the most about the series is the tremendous variety of colors, styles, technqiues and products. You are very creative!
Love 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.
Another beautiful card! gotta love basic grey!
Wow! Another GORGEOUS card! Great job!!
Thank 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.
Wonderful 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
LOVE IT !!! BEAUTIFUL CARD …..YOU ARE GREAT !
As always a beautiful card!
Nice card. Basic Grey came out with a really good rubon tool…just came to know after watching your videos… :)
such a lovely card…thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving.
A very lovely and festive card. I enjoyed your video. Happy Holidays.
Where 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.
Another beautiful card Kristina!!! Love the colours and papers you used and your bow is perfect! I always struggle with bows, so thanks for the tutorial!:) I really look forward to checking out your wonderful blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!!:)
