This is truly an awesome video!! You have to take 7 min of your time and watch it, especially if you’ve watched shows like That 70’s Show, Scrubs, Cheers, Friends, The OC, TrueBlood, and The Simpsons.

I have to say at the end, I applauded them. Enjoy!

(video) Tutorial: Earth-Toned Card

Tails — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:43:50 +0000

This is a card I made looooong ago at the beginning of August, I think you might remember me posting that YouTube wasnt letting me upload videos. Well FINALLY they did and so here it is!

Its a pretty easy card which can be easily adapted for any occasion. Simply change the colours and front greeting and you have a whole new card!

Sorry for the long wait, I’ll be making some Christmas Card videos soon…keep an eye out for those. Thanks for watching! (if the photo is huge, I apologise…I uploaded the wrong one and Photobucket hasnt realised its a new size. Try press Ctrl+F5.

(video) Tutorial: Cupcake Birthday Card

Tails — Sat, 30 May 2009 18:24:58 +0000

This is a simple card I made for my sister’s 29th birthday which is tomorrow (happy birthday, sis!). Its simple, but I love it! This card is easily customisable with colours and different decals (ie a four-leaf clover for a good luck card instead of a cupcake), so go wild with your imagination!

As always, I’d love to see your creations, so please link me to your blog/card so I can check it out. If you have any questions, just comment and I’ll answer, no problem. Someone did ask if these cards fit into a normal envelope, and the answer is yup. No special envelopes needed. I’m all about the easy stuff haha.

Please forgive the whoopsy at the end of the video, I forgot to stamp my “Handmade by Tails” stamp on it and had to merge two video clips together. Unfortunately it is rather blantant haha but such is the life of video tutorials. Also forgive the bad photography of the cards…the weather is overcast which doesnt make for quick & easy photos (and I was kind of in a rush). Thanks for watching, and hope you like the card!

(video) Tutorial: Father’s Day 2009

Tails — Sun, 10 May 2009 13:34:41 +0000

So while I had my card making stuff out, I thought I best make a Father’s Day card tutorial while I’m at it.

This card is based around using natural colours, textured materials, and foil for a Man’s Man type of card. Of course you can adapt this card to any recipient ie mom, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, or even an open-ended card like “Get Better Soon!” or “Happy Housewarming”. The possibilies are endless, as always.

I used buttons down the left hand side, but you could use brads, stamped images punched into circles, eyelets, or anything else. Just keep it in threes and try vary the sizes if possible (unless they’re the stamped circles). You could also attach some brown ribbon if you’d like.

Unfortunately, or amusingly (whichever you prefer), I ran out of time on this video (right at the end!) so I had to connect two tapings together. Hope it doesnt look too terrible haha. As always, I hope you enjoy this video, and please let me know your thoughts, whether you made it, and even feel free to let me know where to look for your version of the card! I’d love to see it!

I’ve also added a template to help you design your own card, based on this one, and I’ve added templates to my previous card tutorials. I hope you like them and find them handy!
