New SU Video – Shower Curtain and Candle Bowl

Just in case you missed it, there is a new video on my Stampin' Up! website creating a shower curtain and candle bowl using our Décor Elements vinyl – they are great! I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom, and this may be just the thing.

Take a look at the video and let me know what you think:

Video Tutorial – Recessed Windows

Kari Kechter — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Do you remember this post where I created the recessed window card for my Step-Mom's birthday? As I mentioned, the instructions were a little difficult for me to follow (I'm a very visual learner), so I finally created a video tutorial to show all of you visual learners how to create the recessed window (with my own spin on the technique, so you can easily mail your card without it getting smashed in the mail).

Here is the card I made in the video:

I also tried narrating the video for the first time (my camera doesn't pick up audio very well, so until now I've relied on music and text on the screen to help describe the technique). So please let me know whether you like the narration, or would prefer that I stick with text and music. J

I mention in the video, but I want to say it again here, that I do not recommend starting with dry embossed card stock for your first recessed window project. While it worked and I love the final card, it was not the easiest to work with. J

Here's the video:

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find the video useful!

Video: Make a cute gift card holder

Kari Kechter — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:38:01 +0000

Sorry it's been so long since my last video. I purchased some new software and the learning curve is steeper than I expected. I think in the long run it will be worth it, but it has been a bit frustrating these past couple of weeks.

Anyway, enough of the whining (though a little cheese with my whine wouldn't be bad). J

We made this project during November's Christmas card stamp-a-stack. It's a nice way to give a gift card to someone.

I hope you enjoy this clever little gift card holder made from a standard envelope:

Video Tutorial – Stamp-a-ma-Jig

Kari Kechter — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 09:00:00 +0000

Since I posted my second video tutorial previously, I've had a number of people ask me where my first tutorial was. That video was a special video for my newsletter subscribers (October's issue). Since it's been over a month since that newsletter released, I figured it's time to post that video here for anyone who is interested in different ways to use your Stamp-a-ma-jig (there really are numerous ways).

The Stamp-a-ma-Jig stamp positioner is useful for many different things you may do in your stamping day. Check out this video for different ways to use it:

(Remember, this was my first video, so I'm still in the learning stages. )

Happy stamping!

Video Tutorial – Box in a Bag

Kari Kechter — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:02:51 +0000

Happy Friday, Stampers! In this post I shared some of these cute Box-in-a-Bag creations I made for Halloween treats. Some people requested that I share more details on how to make them, so I created my second video tutorial! For the original bag I shared, I made it in Halloween-themed colors. For this video tutorial I was thinking Christmas, so I used our beautiful Holiday Treasures DSP!

So grab your 12" paper trimmer, bone folder, Sticky Strip, a couple of punches and join in to create these fun bags!

I hope you enjoyed this. Please let me know if you like these video tutorials, and if the response is positive, I'll start work on creating some more (I think the next one will have to be how to make the gift card holders out of an envelope – love those!).

Happy stamping!
