A Video: Be My Valentine

I've made a second video! This card is much simpler - no fancy-pants techniques, per se, but still fun (I hope)!

If you can't get your hands on Martha Stewart epoxy hearts, you can make your own version. Use your smallest Nestabilities Classic Hearts dies to cut hearts from coordinating paper or cardstock. Adhere the smallest die to the larger one and then apply Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze. When it dries, you'll have a pretty, shiny "epoxy" accent!

LOVE the French music! Your video was fun, informative and so easy to follow. I'd never seen the tip of using a second large stamp to make a better impression - Thanks, Deborah!

I have white pen envy!! Mine never works that well! You are a pro at editing, Deborah!! Great video and the music was delightful!! Oh, and a "bunny ears" bow?? who knew?? Hugs.

Thanks for the stamping tip - I would never have thought of that. ;-)

Good video, just a few suggestions. I would try to center your work on the screen so that it isn't covered by the white background behind the text (perhaps don't use a backgrpund with your text?). I'd also suggest spending a bit more screen time and more text on some of the steps in your video, e.g., the layering of your hearts and bows - I missed it and had to go back to see what you were doing.

I hope these are the first of many videos for you. TFS ;-)

Love your second video, Deborah! The music was fun and, of course, we loved the joke. When I was a kid, I told the same one, except instead of Will, it was "lettuce" knocking. Made me feel 8 again. ;)

Great video - the music was delightful! I have to try that bow, looks really simple when you do it. Pretty card, thanks, Deborah!

Thanks for the comments and support, everyone!

Diana, I was using a different piece of equipment to hold my camera when I filmed this second video, and I couldn't agree more about the need to move my work upward to the center of the screen. Thank you for the feedback about adding more written instructions! I need advice as I'm a novice with video making and appreciate all the feedback I can get!

Really enjoyed this video Deborah! The two stamps trick, I must try. I haven't got any good result using my Envelope Background stamp. Thanks for sharing!

Enjoyed your video, Deborah - fun card and I must remember the trick with the pointy tool to grab the glue dots!
