Love the balloons, Dawn! TFS – Think I’ll try something using the PNC inside.
Dawn: You are so creative! Love your videos…you make it so easy to follow your instructions by having the video to go along with the project you are featuring in your blog. Thanks for sharing!
Can’t wait to try the balloons with twine myself- thanks for sharing all of your great tips. You always make it look so easy!!
Love the birthday card and how you made the bottom of the balloons with the owl’s feet. Very clever!
Love the card and video …..and I would LOVE to win Candy Dots.
Love this video and the one that makes the inside layer cake too. You always give
and show great instructions.
You have done it again, not only showing such a cute idea for a card, but also how to use punches that are totally unrelated to make it. Another great job!
Fun card Dawn…you always give great instructions!
Love your card and your video’s are great!! Thank you for always sharing with us and for the blog candy chances. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your great tips. Your videos are my favorite.
Hi Dawn,
Love your blog and especially your videos. You do a great job of explaining and they are easy to follow. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the balloons with the owl feet – too clever! Such a cute card, thanks for sharing.
What a cute card. That owl punch had me from the minute I saw it! Wow! can you make lots of cute critters with it and what a great idea using the owl feet as part of a balloon. I love it!
Dawn what a fun card. This is what I like is to find other ways to use the punches we have purchased. There is so many ways they can be used. Thank you for showing us the ways to use them.
I love the new candy dots…they’re really cute and the lower profile makes them easier to go through the mail machines without causing damage to the card (or machines I suppose).
Whoooo would have guessed that the balloons used the owl punch for their tie off part! Great card! I like that you showed both the party hat paper and the numbers on the card for a little different look! I can’t wait to make the card with both videos which were both excellent!
I am not big on pop-ups, but I think I may become a convert! Thanks for sharing…Also I like your idea of the balloons simply fabulous!
Again Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this video. Love the balloons too! I would love me some candy dots!! Pick me please!!!
I always look forward to seeing your emails in my in box! It gets my creative juices flowing.
I did enjoy watching your two videos on making this card. I really love the baloons. Who knew you could use the owl punch for so many things. And candy dots – what a great blog candy.
The birthday card is too cute! and what better thing for a birthday is Candy!!
Thank You for sharing…
I have been wanting to try this pop up card for a while now so I really appreciate the video. The one on the baloons is great too. I just love this card. Such a good use of that DSP. You share such great inspiration with us on your blog. I really enjoy all your posts! Hoping for candy dots!
Can’t have too much candy (dots) right? Love the balloons too! Smiles and hugs.
Hope you have air conditioning in your craft room – MN is hotter than FL:) What a fun video…and you demonstrate everything so clearly – love it! Don’t have any of the candy dots yet but would love to try them! Thanks to you.
Oh my! Are they paper dots? I’ve been looking for the kind you can add with a small glue dot – –
LOve the great idea on how to do the balloons. So simple but did I think of it? NO… thanks for all your inspiration. I love candy!!
Candy dots – I’d love to have them, they’re calorie free! Thanks for all the great ideas Dawn!
Cute card. Are the candy dots like the enamel dots that have become so popular?
What a coincidence…I LOVE CANDY!
