"Hi" Card Video with Custom Crops

While I was in Chicago visiting Custom Crops, I had the opportunity to do some video tutorials with Natalie. Here she is showing me how to use the Nestabilities (can you believe I have never used those?)

Enjoy!!

I loved the video. It's fun to see how people that don't craft together all the time do things differently, but just as great.

Cool Robyn,I been wondering about the sandwich on the cuttlebug with the spellbinders. Perfect and thanks for the video, made my day. Have a good one too. Cindy

Robyn, Love the video today. I have never used the spellbinders or sewed on cards before so this video was very informative on so many new ideas and products. Loved your live feed yesterday!!! What fun! Have a Great Day :)

New techiques...how cool! Love the ribbon and sewing ideas! Hmmm...now if only I knew how to really use the sewing machine that I own:)

Guess I'll have to drag my sewing machine out of the closet! You make this look so easy! Great job!

Heather said...

I'm glad you posted this. I've never used Nestabilities either. I'll have to get some now!

scrapper1969 said...

Love the video! I never used some of the products that are in the video... but I think I may have to order them and give them a try.. I have used my nestabilites in my cuttlebug though... Not much of a sewer... but I love that adhesive you guys used on the ribbon and the glue... plus the paper & letters...TFS!!

PaperRose said...

Super cute card! Love the ribbon technique and corrugated alpha.

Donna VW said...

Don't you love playing with other peoples toys?

Joy said...

That was a great video! Really informative! I've been planning on trying out the Nestabilities and can't wait to use them. I was glad to see someone sew on a card. I've seen the finished results before, but haven't actually seen anyone do it. I just bought a tiny machine for card sewing so I don't have to get my big one out. Happy to have watched so many fun techniques on things I haven't done yet. :) Thanks!

It is so much fun watching how excited you are with new products that you have never used. Now you know how we feel when you show us something new. Keep up the great work!

Sheila said...

A great video, Robyn. Although, I did miss your singing, dancing and outtakes. :D Loved the card - can't wait to try the ribbon idea.

Natalie said...

Thank you for getting out and doing something different!! There was a lot of firsts in this video for you, but I know you will take those ideas and reuse them in videos to come!!

I dont̕ have a cricut so for me seeing a non-cricut video every week or to is great!

Teresa Kaufhold said...

Thanks for another great video!
looks like you had fun there!

Robyn,
Love the card-I have heard about the spellbinders and really didn't know what it was. Now I know and looks fun to use. I will have to give it a try. Keep up the good work.
Thanks

Wonderful! I would love to try those!

Shelly said...

Great video, Robyn! I've never used Nestibilities either, so it was fun to see them being used. I also loved the way you used the ribbon.

michele said...

loved the card it was really cute. did you find the nestibilites to be akward to work with (they seem so thin and you could mess it up easily on the cuttlebug because it doesnt like to stay put)? just wondering. love your viedos. you are a joy to watch because you are so happy - you make my day! thanks

I am soooooo glad that you showed the cuttlebug with nestabilities!!!! I have wanted these for so long, but didn't know how they worked. Thanks so much. Love all the stuff. Sandy C.

teetle81 said...

Glad to see the use of nestabilities. I keep hearing about them but haven't gotten around to trying them. Love the sewing technique. Didn't seem as difficult as I imagined it would be. Now I need to find a cheap sewing table to set mine up.

I keep telling myself, "I have to get some of this or that." And then I don't, so I'm thinking I'm going to make a list for Santa, and put on it all the things I've never gotten. Like a Bind it all, and some non-stick scissors, and some of that tape you used. So if Santa asks you, you can tell him! lol TFS
