You are sooo funny!!! So glad you didn't really cut yourself! Your son is soooo cute. You could never deny him because he looks just like you.
I learned something new from this video. I did not know you could stamp and then emboss on top of the stamp and still see the stamp. Thank you so much!!! You are my inspiration!!! You and all of your time is sooo appreciated!! Thank you, Robyn!!

Hi Robyn lovely card. I love how you put the scallop on the side. I am enjoying my new pink stamper stamps, they are great! Your son is adorable. My 6 year old daughter insists she has boyfriends in 1st grade. She came home yesterday and said "Jonathan brokup with me today, but that's ok I still have 2 boyfriends left!"

Cuddles and Chaos said...

Very cute card! Glad your ATG gun is fixed!

My 7-year-old enjoyed watching this with me as well!

Lillabell said...

Love the card Robyn. Hope your adorable son finds his girlfriend soon.

Agustina said...

LOL!!! I was waiting for the blood to start oozing out of your finger, I jump up on my chair and my heart was beating so fast. Man oh man it's funny but it's not. KWIM. By the way your card came out very cute and your son is just so adorable.

HI Robin!!

Great card and I love the embossing!!!I am headed down to my dungeon to start creating some of the valentine mailboxes that you did an episode on. Can't wait to finish all of them for my third graders :) They just shipped "My Pink Stamper" stamp sets and I am just dying to get them. We had 24 inches of snow here in Maryland and we have another 3 to 6 inches coming on Tuesday :(....I cannot wait for Spring!! Thanks for the video-it keeps me going in all of this snow!!!!

K-E Kreations said...

Love the card. It is so simple, but looks so elegant.

SueNJ said...

Another wonderful card Robyn! I really need to break out the embossing powder and try this! I also see some more purchasing of some Cricut cartridges (Doodlecharms, Sentiments and Forever Young ).

Thanks for sharing!

What did you think of the Versa Mark Dazzle? It looked very pretty in the video...thanks!

MrsPaperRose said...

Cute card! My heart skipped a beat when you fake "cut yourself." I'm glad you're ok and stay safe and dry this week.

KTbirdiegirl said...

Darling card, Robyn! I've never done the heat embossing, but it makes such a beautiful finish. I'll have to try this. I jumped when you "fake cut" yourself. lol. You are a prankster!

Weddings With The Cricut said...

Super cute card Robyn! Be careful with that wired ribbon and your regular scissors - it will add notches in your scissors and wreck them. Try some wire cutters for the wire part :) Your son is a riot! Have a great day!

Robyn, you made me jump! I really thought you cut yourself. And your son is sooooo cute! Tell him his girlfriend is sleeping right now (my 6yr old), but that he can talk to her tomorrow. :) And he looks so much like your husband!

Peggy Snyman said...

What a cute card. Your son is cute too. My kids were always walking in my shoes or clothes. They had a blast. I enjoy embossing.We are supposed to have snow tomorrow. Stay warm I know a storm is headed your way.

Crafty Katy said...

Very cute hard! Your DH will love it! Did the Dazzle make a difference with the clear powder? I've been wanting to try it, the Champagne color looks fun... but I'm just not sure if it does much.
Thanks for another fun video. P.S. You scared me with your fake cut!

lmlcreations said...

Too cute. Love the wigs.

Dawn said...

Very cute card. Thanks for doing one with embossing.
Love your son. Yes, no dating till 16.

Denise said...

Cute card. Thanks for including the "recipe", that's a nice helpful tool. Also, you got me with the fake finger cut. For a second I was like OMG! And what a cutie your little guy is. But I think he looks better in the rocker wig vs. the mullet. Have a good weekend!

Amy said...

Great quick card Robyn. Thanks for posting. We're gearing up for a big snowstorm too! I've got to get my kids' valentines finished.
Enjoy your Sunday!

mshady said...

Great video, as usual. I have to admit you got me with your joke about cutting your finger. I have never tried embossing powder - nervous about it- so it was great to watch your video and see a pro at work. :)

Karen said...

Love the valentines card Robyn, thanks for introducing the dazzle stamp pad too.

Your son is cute - I am sure when the time is right he will have no trouble finding a girlfriend!

Sarah said...

2 Krafty Girls said...

What a cute card Robyn! I loved the joke about cutting yourself again, and your "boyfriend" is sure cute!

cfine said...

Another quick cute card. I love the two sided ribbon. There's no HL near me! I never would have thought to emboss the entire heart, it looks great! Your son is adorable, he'll have no trouble finding a girlfriend!

LEEANN said...

What a super cute card. I love the ribbon...black, white, polka dots and stripes, how could you go wrong. Keep up the great work Robyn.

sandyh50 said...

Cute card and of course I jumped when you "cut" yourself! I think your son likes to say "Where is my real girlfriend?" Kids are cute.

Linda Peterson said...

Great card and video! Love the part about someone looking for his girlfriend. I think your "huge" snow storm might be coming our way after finishes with you. I live in Michigan and we are told that we might be getting it on Tuesday.

maryvernau said...

Thanks for another cute video Robyn! Your son is quite the cutie! Enjoy...kids grow up before you know it and it won't be long before he finds that "real" girlfriend!

Joyce said...

Hey Robyn,
Love the card especially especially the embossing. Lots of fun ideas for Valentines Day!

Purrbal said...

AH HA... so that is how you did the shimmery stamped card I was inquiring about. Thanks for sharing Robyn.

<3 Shannon

Janis said...

Your "ouch" scared the poopy out of me. :) My heart started thumping, and I went into "mommy" mode all worried about your finger. LOL (No, I'm way not old enough to be your mother.)

ArchivingAngel said...

Hi Robyn~ your blog is terrific!
I really like the card you created but you did my heart stop for a second when you faked your cut.
But the ultimate show stealer was your adorable son. Gotta say, the video was super cute.
Thanks for sharing.
I hope you can follow my blog too at:

Beautiful card. I just received your stamps from Custom Crops. They are awesome! Where did you get your tweezers? I have looked everywhere and can't find them. Keep your videos coming!

Susie&#39;s Art &amp; Creativity said...

Cute easy card. I sometimes pull the wire out of the ribbons to make a bow.

JANLYNN said...

So simple but Oh So Sweet. Your son is something else too. My 5 year old grandson hates girls but his 3 year old brother will tell you in a minute Ava(his friend at day care) is his girlfriend

Crazy For Scrapping said...

luv the the card very simple and that is what I like. Your son is so cute, I think he and my 6 yr old would get along. My son he says stuff like my beautiful sweets mom/sister/dad, they are soooo cute at this age, and it is so true kids say the darnest things. TFS

Hi Robyn,
Thanks for explaining the real dial button. Awesome card.

Thanks for the cute card. Your hubby will love it.

A request - Could you do a video soon using the Mix and Match button please.... I never remember how to use this correctly.

Did you showcase this button on any of your new DVD's ?

Crystal said...

cute card,love the ribbon. Where is my girlfriend, lol too cute. How is it outside for you. I live in Delaware and we got over 2 feet of snow this weekend and It's suppose to snow again this week I believe it's suppose to be on Tuesday and Wednesday. We clean the car of yesterday and I was covered with snow almost to my knee (I'm only 5'1) I have no idea where the extra snow is going to go, it's toooo much, tfs that wonderful card.

Kerie said...

LOL - your son is just toooo cute.

LiveLaughScrap said...

Love the video Robyn. Just one correction. Real Dial Size will not work with PDDU layers. The clothes would be too big.

Lori said...

Robyn, cute card!

Just a tip if you hate the wire in the ribbon, you can pull it out. Once you have your length cut from the roll, push each side up to expose the wire and pull!

I make little girl's hair bows and sometimes the PERFECT ribbon has wire in it, and that is a NO NO for little ones, so I just pull it out and you can always run it through a curling iron if it wrinkles in the process. :o)

Thanks again for sharing the cute card!!! ;o)

Emmy said...

Cute card! Thanks for your opinion on the Doodlecharm cartridge.
