I have been stamping for over a dozen years now, and my Emily has been stamping for about 3 years now. She is 5 1/2 years old, and the 1/2 is very important to her. Imagine my delight today when Emily said that she needed to make a card. Not wanted to, but needed to! I know that feeling all too well!
Then she looked at me and said, "Let's make a video!" Sounds good to me. But I have been asked why she likes to make them. First, she watches me make them all the time, a lot of the time she is standing quietly right next to me when I am making a video. Second, she likes that our family can watch her stamping. Our closest family is 180 miles away and we share videos back and forth to help keep contected to them.
Now, I still do not know who this card is for. She saw a card in my stamp room and wanted to do something "better". She knew she wanted a big flower and she knew exactly what she wanted it to say.
Here is a picture of Emily with her card:
Here are the supplies she used to make it:
Stampin' Up! Stamps: My Friend, Borderlines
Stampin' Up! Ink: Melon Mambo
Stampin' Up! Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Stampin' Up! Accessories: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots EF, Finial Press EF, Petals-a-Plenty EF, Brights Buttons, Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon
And here is Emily's Video Tutorial:
I love the ideas that she had for this card – she came up with it all on her own! And I love how it turned out! Please take a moment and leave her a comment below.

Absolutely adorable, the card too. You know when I signed up for the VIP Membership I did a lot of looking around first and picked your membership because of its quality, creativity, style and other qualities. Then I found out you loved Dr Pepper, so do I. Now I find out you have a daughter named Emily and she makes cards with you, how sweet is that! I have a beautiful granddaughter, Emiley, and we love to make cards together also. She is 8 years old and we’ve been crafting together for many years. You are so precious Emily and I hope to see you again. I will share this video with my granddaughter so she can see how wonderful your card is and what a great job you did. You are fantastic, thank you for the great card idea.
