I really have to do some better planning next year because since I concentrate so much time in March and April working on the A to Z I miss out on the Mother’s Day opportunity to showcase my cards and albums. Seriously, that’s like candy makers missing Valentine’s Day!
In the last post I showed you my studio. Today I’m going to show my latest card making endeavors. It’s a new process for me called “waterfall” cards.
They came out really well I thought. You just pull the tab down and the sentiment flips up. I even made a short “how-to” video for YouTube.
I made another set using a different product from Eyelet Outlet. This is a mix of Father’s Day and birthday and has a tool time theme.
The first set is already up on the website and the second set will be added today. The Giants are on at 3 and I plan on spending the time watching the game and working in the studio. I love that combo!
I’m thinking about doing some live stream type shows on YouTube. My son thinks I should start a Twitch channel and do a “Saturday in the Studio” program. Anybody on Twitch? Would you watch and/or craft along with me if I was live?

Hi, Janet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing this fascinating type of greeting card, dear friend! I never saw anything quite like those cascading waterfall cards. I watched your video and marveled at the ingenuity involved in designing the mechanism. I agree that tall cards are required to adequately display the vertical focals and manifest the waterfall effect. Your cards are handsome and have a nostalgic retro flair. The recipient of this type of greeting will surely conclude in an instant that it is "a keeper."
I think people who are into crafting as much as you are would enjoy watching a regular video show of yours on YouTube, Twitch or other platform.
Thanks for visiting me today and enjoy the rest of your weekend, dear friend Janet!
Thanks Shady! I am having fun creating these new type of cards but I think I just have fun creating period, my reasoning behind sharing it all on film. I hope that comes through in the video. Have a great week!
DeleteG4eat looking cards! I have never attempted a waterfall card but you made it look easy. I can see myself screwing it up though. Your cards a fun and I bet the people you send it to will love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Birgit. I was a little intimidated at first too but it is easy once you get the hang of it.
DeleteThose cards look amazing. You're so creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy! They are fun.
