A Little Behind. . .

Oh my gosh. . .I am so behind on here.  I uploaded 2 videos to youtube.  The first one is a picture show of my very first Paper Pumpkin Kit and the cards I made.  You can see it here: My Paper Pumpkin

The best part of this kit was my FREE Markers Set!  FREE is always good.  If you're interested in learning more about Paper Pumpkin, you can go to www.mypaperpumpkin.com.  Hurry, the FREE Markers Set deal ends March 31st (11:59 MST).  If you're still unsure, try the Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit - however, this DOES NOT include the FREE Markers Set.

 I am so excited for the March Paper Pumpkin kit to arrive. . .it's like having my birthday every month. I receive a package and it's always a surprise!!

My second video was a quick Look-See of a Card Deck Mini Album.  Check it out here: Card Deck Mini Album  I had intended on making the REAL video tutorial on that, but soon found out there's more to "wanting to do a video tutorial" than I thought. . . LOL

GOOD NEWS, though!! I recently acquired certain items needed for this process, so. . .YAY. . . I will be making videos VERY SOON.  Now I have to gather all the supplies and materials for the albums and cards I want to share with everyone.   I will announce that here.

Hi, All!

This is my Friends Defined card.  I was making a card for a good friend of mine and decided to share with you.  I hope you send this off to your Best Friend(s).

You can find the video at YouTube.  Please subscribe to my channel.  I will be improving on the quality of my videos soon.  Meaning, it will be a video and not a slide show. . .LOL

I love this card because of the embossing.  I used the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder. . .I think it made a plain card really pop and added a bit of elegance!!

Supplies Used:

Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder - Clearance Rack Item
Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accents
Midnight Muse Stamp Pad
Beige Card Stock 8-1/2 X 5-1/2, score at 4-1/4, fold it down and use your bone folder for a crisp fold.
White Card Stock  Card Stock: 5 X 3-3/4 and 4 X 2-1/2 (emboss these)
Light Blue Card Stoc: 5-1/4 X 4 and 4-1/4 X -3/4 and a strip at 3-3/8 X 1-1/8
Adhesives: Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Glue and SNAIL Adhesive
Other Tools: Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips and Cosmetic Wedge for the edging on the label.

I hope my supplies list and video help you in re-creating this card for your friends.

Enjoy!

My First Video Tutorial - WOOHOO!

WOOHOO!  I finally uploaded my first video tutorial. It's really a slide-show set to music, but it's my best for now. . .working on the actual 'VIDEO' thing. :)

I have been making party favors and such for years, so I just combined the stamping and favor making.

Mini Card with Side Pockets for some gum sticks.

You can find the video at YouTube. . . have a peek. Subscribe. . .I do plan on adding more videos real soon!!

Supplies Used:

Crumb Cake Paper (7-1/2 X 3-3/4 and 6-3/4 X 1)
Pattern Paper: I used the More Amore Specialty DSP* (hurry, it's in the Clearance Rack)
     7 pieces: 1@ 2-7/8 X 3-/8, 4@ 1-7/8 X 3-5/8, 2@ 5/8 X 3-5/8 
Label Love Bundle Set: Stamps & Punch (I love buying the bundles)
Raspberry Ripple Stamp Pad (I bought it in the 2012-2014 In Color Card Stock and Stamp Pad Kit)
Adhesives: Sticky Strip and Tombow Multipurpose Glue and/or SNAIL Adhesive
Other Tools: Paper Trimmer and Simply Scored, also.

Of course, you need gum. As long as you use a stick gum, it will work out great.

Well, I hope my video and supplies list help you in making this Mini Card Treat Pocket for family and friends, or your kids' classmates.

Enjoy!
Gloria :)
