Tutorial Tuesday - Flip Flop Card

Okay, I was in a hurry this morning trying to get my video tutorial done before I picked Tanner up from pre-school, so I forgot to take a picture of my card until after I uploaded my video to YouTube.

I like it when I put the card at the end of the video and I will try to slow down next time. I had problems with my camera this morning shutting off half-way through taping, so I had to create this card three times. I was getting a little frustrated. All right, more than just a little. You will see that subconsciously at the end of this video. I didn't even realize I did "that" until I watched it. LOL!

I have the camera in a different position this time. I learned this trick from Dawn at Stamp Til Dawn. She puts the camera in front of her and video tapes upside down. Then the program turns the video 180 degrees, so you can see it from her viewpoint. AWESOME! I tried this today and it worked. It is a lot easier taping this way than from the side or in back of me. I don't have to worry about getting my head in front of the camera. YAY! Thanks, Dawn!

Here is the card I made for this tutorial:


Enjoy the video!




Happy Stamping!

Direct to Paper

Good news for me! I can leave the Caprice projects I posted last time on my display board. My upline, Chris, came through for me. She has a bulk Caprice paper packet that I can buy. YEAH! Since I found that out today, I used the same Caprice paper for this card. BTW, these Caprice paper designs are not mine. These projects were designed by corporate. I am using them for the same type of display board idea I got from the CTMH convention I attended. Boy, I am so glad I went there. My head is still full of ideas waiting to get out!

I like this card, because it doesn't have a sentiment. It can be used for any occasion you need. This card shows the ink direct to paper technique, which is always an easy way to distress paper.


The accessories are twill ribbon, natural hemp and a metal-rimmed tag. I just used a one inch punch to punch out a flower from the pattern paper to adhere to the rimmed tag.

Boy, I didn't get much stamping done today. Both my boys and DH were home and we just relaxed all day. I guess we started the holiday a little early. It did snow today and my boys were so excited to get out to play. We didn't even get an inch, but my DH had to play, because I had to go to the grocery store along with most of the people in Omaha. It is the only time I was glad to go to the grocery store.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
