Card Making Video Tutorial


Hi Sitisifir10

Claire here. Welcome to another issue of the
Making Handmade Cards eNewsletter!
Have you been enjoying the
free Floral Doodle eKit and ebook?
I hope so!
I've got another freebie for you in this newsletter.
This time it's a video tutorial. :0)
========================================
1. Free Video Tutorial About Heat Embossing
========================================


This was the first video tutorial I'd ever made!
I actually released this video a while ago
to subscribers, but I thought
you shouldn't miss out on it. So here it is!


But man oh man! You don't know
how long it took me to get that
first video tutorial done. What a steep learning curve
it was for me. But patience is a virtue right?


After a few hiccips and a lot of banging my head
against the computer screen
(metaphorically speaking, of course)
this video tutorial is now complete
and it's ready for you to feast your eyes on (yipee!)


OK warning, warning! I was a little nervous
when I first released my first video tutorial
as it was my **first attempt** at making
a video demonstration. So please excuse me
tripping over my words and for the bad camera shots!


So what's this first video about?


Heat embossing!


Heat embossing is a technique that can
turn a 'nice' handmade card into a **stunning** one.
Its textured effect can really bring a card to life.


But heat embossing should also
come with a warning...


Why?


Because it becomes addictive! That's why! ;-)


It's sooooo much fun and the
results are really spectacular.
So here's a cool little video tutorial that
introduces you to heat embossing.


And guess how much you have to
pay to view it? Nothing! It's free. :-)
Ready to get addicted to heat embossing?
