I am back from a lovely week in Cornwall….more of that later. I am busy getting ready for my next card class in between filming for my latest set of videos.
Today I posted my first video in my Christmas is Coming series of videos. I really hope you find them useful. I find myself getting later and later getting my Christmas Cards made and reedy to send in December. I came up with a plan to batch make my cards over the month of November and decided to share the fun with you on my You Tube Channel.
The idea is to post 5 or so videos with simple card ideas that you and your family can sit down and make too! I have broken the tutorials into steps so after you have watched one you can decided who is doing which step and then sit down with a hot chocolate and a cookie or two and have some real festive fun.
Here is a simple card idea based on using your Christmas Punches or Dies. I love this kraft and red colour combination but don't forget you can choose your own scheme depending on what inks and card stock you have in your stash. This would look great in shades of green and cream too.
The idea is that you divide how many cards you want to make by 5 and that is how many you need to make of each design. You may find that some of the designs aren't to your taste in which case make more of the ones you do like !!! (hope you like some of them at least ;-) !!!!)
So have a look at the tutorial - gather you supplies and your assembly line and off you go! Filming this series is making me feel Christmassy already!!! There will be a pdf file with the card dimensions to save stopping and starting the videos and there may be a small template or two (not sure how many as I am still filming!) Just email me to say you would like one and I will get it off to you as soon as I have it finished! The dimensions are on the videos too so no problem if you want to get started straight away!
Off to make more videos!!! Hope you are having a fun week and thank you for popping by x
EXCELLENT! More 'Helen Christms Cards' to play with :D Thank you. I can't see the video yet, I've been having problems with video playback. Very annoying and frustrating, but hopefully it will let me watch in a day or two. :o))
