Another Envelope

I decided to record another envelope to see if I could take less time and make fewer goofs. So, I recorded it and, wouldn't you know it, the timing was almost flawless, I made few goofs but, the camera quit right at the end. But, I am the girl who loves to try to make lemon-ade out of lemons so, I figured out how to add a still shot of my work at the end and, while it didn't perfect anything by any stretch of the imagination, it did fix it a bit and, if for no other reason than the fact that I learned something in the editing process of this video, I am a little proud of it!

The only other mistake I made was in saying that you should clip the one piece off at the 1/2" and 4 1/2" score lines. I verbally made the correction later in the video...after I said it something like 3 times. So, you need to clip those pieces off at the 1/2" to 4 1/4" score lines. Sorry for the misinformation. I hope that none of you did exactly what I said and screwed it up as a result.

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!

Envelope

I love to make envelopes to coordinate with my cards. I think it adds something even more special when everything but the postage stamp is handmade with love and care. I made another envelope video but, it cut off at the end so, I am debating posting it. I would love to re-shoot the last minute, give or take, of the piece but, I can't break it apart and reassemble without compromising the entire piece so, we'll see. I'm still learning the editing process and would love to add a text near the end apologizing for it cutting off. It was a much better video with zero editing necessary so, it's a shame to let it go to waste. Perhaps I'll just video another one in the future and post that one.

Anyway, until next time...Happy Stamping!

Post-it Cube Holder

This is something I am extremely proud of. I am not great with innovation. When it comes to my cards and crafts, I grab inspiration from what others have done. I do little adaptations here and there and incorporate learned techniques into pieces down the road. But, with this particular project, I actually came up with it on my own. It is inspired by the idea of a pretty way to dress up Post-it pads. I saw videos done by others but, I adapted and changed them to make one that is my own recipe.

Anyway, I'm in the process of learning how to edit my crafting videos. They're really messy and, perhaps some day, I will make my videos as seamless as those of the crafting videos I have seen posted. But, until then...enjoy this one. I hope I am able to teach you something and be of some sort of inspiration as others have been to me!

Happy Stamping!

My First Project

This is my first Stamping video. I am a Stampin'Up! demonstrator and have been since August of 2010. So, I guess you can say I am still a bit of a newbie. I got this idea from Dawn5377 on YouTube, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator who never ceases to inspire me...Hi Dawn! I'm super sorry for all the choppy work, for the many frames in which my work was off-camera, and for the general poor camera work but, as I said, this is my first. I hope you like it.

If you have questions, and I know there are bound to be some, please ask me anything. I neglected to give you the measurements of all the pieces. So, I will do that here:



The ribbon, from Michael's, is about 7 3/4"
The brown piece is 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"
The greenish blue piece on top of the brown piece is 3 1/4" x 2 1/4"
The Stampin' Up! Very Vanilla piece that sits on top of the greenish blue piece is 3" x 2"

I'm sorry that I made this into two videos. My original intention was to put it up on YouTube but, as for right now, I am having a hard time cutting it down to 10 minutes, which is a requirement for me to post it on there. I trimmed it by making the inside a separate video. I also trimmed a lot of it in my original editing but, before I trimmed it to a second part, it was over 20 minutes long. I may still trim it down to put on YouTube. We'll have to see.

Stay tuned for another video...maybe tomorrow...of a project that is all my own.

Until then...Happy Stamping!

Part II

This is the second part of my first video. I couldn't fit it all on one video so, I had to divide it up. This is the inside of the card. Enjoy and Happy Stamping!
