Hello Stampers,
I'm sorry that I have been MIA for the last month, but life has gotten a bit busy and my blog was the one to suffer. But have no fear! I'm back and ready to try something new.
As you all know I have been a Stampin' Up! Demo for a little more then three years and during that time I have met many wonderful paper crafters. Some of them have encouraged me to make videos about my card making endeavours but I have been really resistant. Mainly because of the time needed to make a proper video, then edit it and then upload it. But I found myself with some time on my hands this Friday and decided that I would try and give it a shot. Miraculously, I found that it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought and although the uploading takes some time, the rest of the video went pretty swiftly. It only took me three takes and then about an hour to figure out iMovie. Please keep in mind that my video is VERY basic, but I figure paper crafters will care more about the card then about my lacking video editing skills!
So without further ado... I present my first YouTube video.
I decided to demo a card that was inspired from a Pinterest pin by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Michelle Gleeson -- http://stampinmojo.com/2015/12/grateful-bunch-sneak-peek.html
I decided to make these cards as Thank You to all my customers who made a purchase from me during the month of April. So if you did, then look out for one of them to be included with your order!
As you can see from my design I opted to use layers and added in a few more elements. I decided to do 12 cards in total - three of each of the four different colour combos.
 |
| Combo #1: Melon Mambo & Blackberry Bliss |
Combo #2: Tempting Turquoise & Island Indigo
Combo #3: Blushing Bride & Rose Red
Combo #4: Mossy Meadow & Pear Pizzazz
Sizes Required for the Grateful Bunch Card
Card Base - 8.5" by 5.5" -- scored at 4.25"
First Layer - 5.25" by 4" (also the inside layer size)
Second Layer - 5" by 3.75" (Whisper White Layer)
Small Cardstock Layer - 0.5" by 3.75"
Please note that I have listed all of the supplies that I used below. Just remember that Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss will be retiring at the end of May, along with the Another Thank You stamp set. So if you want any of these items, please head on over to the Stampin' Up! website to order. Please feel free to use me, Michelle Klieber (Demo # 2117909), as your demonstrator.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
