Today is my "I Wish Christmas Card Class" - we are using the the I Wish Simply Scrappin' Kit from Stampin' Up! to get a jump start on making our Christmas cards !!
My first attempt at a Video Tutorial is at the bottom of this post.. .
My son has been experimenting with Windows MovieMaker, and he shot a tutorial video for me and then did the editing .. go easy on us. it's our first one... it shows how to make the Pennant Die cards above .. hope you find it helpful!
If any of you have kids who play RuneScape, they'll enjoy the music video my son made and posted on YouTube HERE. I was impressed that he knew how to do all this.. and now he's teaching me how!
Well, I think you both did an excellent job!!! Keep up the GREAT work, you know I stalk you regularly!!

Way to go Patty! There is something about video tutorials that just makes everything so much easier to understand. I guess I am a visual learner!

Great job on the card and video Patty! Also loved your son's Runescape video, can't wait for my boys to get home from fishing to show it to them...they'll love it! (although I think they'll be quite jealous of your son's "bank"!!)
Posted by: Kerin | October 05, 2008 at 04:57 AM

Great video tutorial, especially for the first one! Loved it. I've been wanting to play with doing a few myself...but alas, I don't have a ready video technician!! So happy you do. Great job. And...love those cards.
Posted by: Diane Noble | October 05, 2008 at 01:57 PM
They are all cute, but I love the gingerbread one the most!
Posted by: Kristie | October 05, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Great job guys!! This video was so inspiring that now I have put the Pennant Die on my wishlist! I had so far been successfully resisting it, but not after seeing these adorable cards for Christmas!
Thank You!

Oh, how fun!!! You rocked the video, girl! You can always try to "write" directions, but it's so different to "see" it!!! Great job! Thanks!
Posted by: Sherry | October 05, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Your son did an awesome job with this video. I really like how easy making criss cross cards are with this die. Great video tutorial and I hope you will do more!
Posted by: Bridgett Owens | October 05, 2008 at 10:23 PM
NOW I get it!!! Thanks so much for the tutorial. Not having the die in hand, I wasn't quite sure how the triangles worked. Now I know! That is AWESOME! I MUST get that pennant die now! :D

Thanks Patty for the daily inspiration. You are very creative and it's so great that Jason supports you and can help with the videos. What a quick and cute card idea. It is so much easier than using the pattern to make that type of card! Congrats on Advisory Board also. You will be great.

Just got around to watching this tutorial, Patty. since I just ordered the Big Shot Penant Die today - it's great, as usual. I'm going to try the Christmas trees too - I'm sure they'll be a big hit at my December camps! TFS

Patty
I am really trying hard to see your tutorials but all I have is a square but no way to view. Your cards are beautiful and I want to learn how you do them. Please let me know what to do. Thanks so much
