Video techniques from down under.......

 Hello!  I belong to a Yahoo group that has been around for years.  It is called Midwest Stampers.  No, you don't have to live in the midwest to belong to it.  I live in southern Maryland and have belonged to it for years.  Thursdays they have Technique Thursday where each Thursday a different technique is explained.  Today the List Mom, Connie posted a link to a great site.  Click on it below.  This lady has lots of video techniques that I think are very different.  Perhaps it is because she lives in Australia and I live in the USA.  Anyway, I wanted to share it with everyone...

An invitation

I helped a friend make invitations for her daughter's engagement party.  An other friend and I helped her make about 45 of these cards.  I think they are so special.  Don't even mention gluing on the tiny shoes.  I used a hypo needle filled with glue.  The engagement ring has a rhinestone glued on it even.  The background was run through the Cuttlebug using Swiss Dots.  We used the Cricut to cut out everything else.  It was challenging picking out the decorative papers for the dress, shirt and pants.  We added a bow across the top left to even out the front of the card. 

An other birthday card I made for a friend

I used a combination of things for this card.  I stamped and water colored the hunter with his binoculars, searching ahead for a deer..  Then I cut out with my Cricut the trees and the deer.  I popped up some of the images with foam tape to give it some dimension and to hide the deer behind.  The pine cones in the upper corners are vinyl stickers.  I used decorative papers to cut the trees out with. 

Bob's birthday card

I just made this for my hubby's birthday.  Since he has gotten into black bear hunting this Cricut Lite WILDLIFE cartridge came in handy.  I made a zig-zag fold card.  This is it laying flat.  If you can image it opens up twice, sorta.  LOL  It doesn't show but I put clear accents on their noses and where their eyes should be.  I wrote him a personal poem, too.

Bob and our newest grand-daughter

Here is my husband, Bob and our new grand daughter. She was born last night and weighed in at 8.5 lbs, 18" long. He looks kind of proud, doesn't he?
