Love the card!! Received my cartridge today, and I already made four cards. Thanks to your videos, I LOVE this cartridge. I would have never thought of purchasing it without seeing what it can do. Now I can make tons of cards for my grandkids to give out when they get invited to a Birthday Party. My daughter will just love that..LOL

So I thought I was crazy when I looked at the finished project because I thought you used the Stampin Up punch and that wasn't it at the end. Then I went back and you must have made it different! LOL Random thing to notice.

Linda said...

Robyn, love your card, this cart is another thing i have to add to my want list and i happen to think that the photo of you on your sidebar is gorgeous.

Angie said...

Adorable Robyn, I think I might need this cartridge!!

Shirley said...

Robyn,

Cute card. I have enjoyed all cards made with this cartridge...needs to be on my wish list. Suggestion...leave out by "mistake" your not so good scissors and hide good one. Your kids will see your scissors and use not to think to look for good ones :o)
Enjoy your day!

Anne said...

Cindy McVey said...

Robyn, imagine YOU making a pink hippo - LOL! This is adorable, and I especially like the hint of black among all the bright color - a "technique" I often use when I don't just the right matching color. I always love how it looks!

Kelly said...

I LOVE the patterned paper card. So cute! I want this cart sooo bad, and I am going to find your stamps and purchase both sets. Thanks, Robyn!!!

cute card!

JANLYNN said...

I really must get this cartridge. It is sooo cute. Have fun making your hasband's cake. Another tip- you layers will come out more even if you use bake strips. You can buy Wilton'sor make your own from terry cloth towels. Cut long strips of towel that are 2 times the depth of your pans in width. fold them so they are the same width as your pans are deep. Get them wet and squeeze out the excess water. Pin them around the outside of your pans right before putting them in the oven. Yes they will eventually take on a scorched look but the moisture keeps them from burning. They keep the sides of your cake at an even temp so it rises more even.

Pallavi said...

hi robyn! i loved the video..i'll try to make a card today using that cartridge too..oh and your son is so cute with the "crabby crawl" hehe maybe when he gets a little older he will want the "crikey hippo" machine..watch out! lol k byee :)

Love the card and this Create a Critter is GREAT!!! I love the new and improved layering.
I am looking to purchase the Cutter that you were showing us in the video. Where did you buy yours? I went on Hobby Lobby online, but they don't have it. Do you think it is worth the money for someone who does card making as a hobby? TFS
