I’ve got news today folks, Creative Ramblings is now on YouTube! Hooray! I am so excited to start sharing crafty tutorials with you.
Back before Pinterest (do you remember that, it feels so long ago) YouTube was my first resource for craft tutorials. I am a visual leaner and love taking notes or sometimes working along with a video to perfect a technique.
Today I usually hit Pinterest first and if I’m lucky will find a post with great step by step photos detailing how to do a particular craft. However, I still find myself on YouTube most of the time learning with a video.
My plan to is give you a weekly tutorial on craft techniques that can be building blocks for much bigger and more complex projects. I will be adding videos to some of my popular posts in which you have commented with questions on how, specifically, to get something just right.
I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep up with my weekly tutorials. Creative Ramblings YouTube Channel
My first tutorial is on Heat Embossing. If you are a stamper or paper crafter this is for you. When I started my Etsy shop I wanted my cards to really stand out. I knew what heat embossing was, I saw the various powders on the store shelves, but I had no idea where to start. It took a while to find a detailed tutorial. After I figured out that technique I was able to take my paper creations to a new level.
If I teach you something here I would love to see what you create. Feel free to share with me via Facebook, Twitter, G+, email, or whatever is your cup of tea.
You can find some of the products I use in this video here.
