Christmas Joy and a Video


Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is off to a great start. I'm popping in today to share a card and video I made with some new goodies from Not 2 Shabby. I always love to make faith-based cards for Christmas and as soon as I saw peeks of the new Rejoice stamp set and paper pad I had to have them!


These two products along with a few other fun holiday goodies are part of the Better than Black Friday release. And you guessed it... it coincides with a sale, but you need to hurry since it's only through November 17!  I'll add the coupon code details at the bottom of this post.

Lately I've been putting some more planning into my crafting time, and I'm hoping to start creating more videos in the coming year. So today I'm testing out a real-time video. I am not the fastest crafter in the universe, so it's a relaxed pace "craft with me" style of video. Let me know what type of videos you prefer - relaxed pace or heavily edited and sped up. You can view the video below or on my YouTube channel.



The technique I use in the video is a masked off watercolor background. I used some liquid watercolors and some Lindy's magicals (I believe those specific colors are now retired), but you can use any kind of water based medium or ink for this effect. I love the way a vivid watercolor background looks with a stark white embossed image or stamp, so this set was perfect for that.


I also used the EZ Wonder Die #1 and the EZ Wonder Add On #1 to create my card, dressing things up with some fun dry embossing folders from my stash. Jamie just opened up pre-orders for another round of the EZ Wonder dies, so if you've been waiting, it's a great time to claim one.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous rest of the weekend. As promised here are those coupon codes.
