The first thing you need to know is that it is far from perfect. And it's like the fourth or fifth whack at it I took. I kept screwing up, then when I finally had something I thought was worthy, it ended up being 18 minutes long! Too long for YouTube, apparently. So I had to pull the plug on that one, then start all over again.
I figured out the software that came with my camera, ArcSoft TotalMediaExtreme can do almost everything that Windows Movie Maker can, but one thing it doesn't do well is text. I set up text, saved my project and when I pulled it up again, the text had mysteriously traveled over to the right. And you couldn't drag it back! And there was no way to copy it and paste it. Phooey. And Windows MovieMaker does not like the format of the video that my camera takes, so I am forced to use the ArcSoft software.
I like the camera, it is not perfect, but it only seems to have the same kinds of flaws that other cameras of its kind do, so I'm happy with it.
So once I figured out that I would have to do text in Photoshop and put it in as a photo rather than using the text editor, everything went along swimmingly. And actually, it looks much better and I could put photos with the text in my screen, which I can't do with this ArcSoft software. But by the time I finally got done filming yet AGAIN, I decided that a few mistakes on my part would just add to the charm of the whole thing and forebore to start over once again. Then it was on to figuring out that the format I saved it in was ALL WRONG, so I had to reprocess the thing, reupload it, and let YouTube start processing it. Who knew all this stuff took FREAKIN' FOREVER!!! 
So it is what it is and I hope you like it. I'm sure as I go along, they will get more professional. Though one thing will never change and that is my voice, which I have always hated. I sound so stinkin' DOOFY! Oh well.
So without further ado, here is the Marvelous Magical Marquee Tutorial video!
Well? Didja like it? Didja?
I hope so. Because this has consumed most of my time this weekend. Oh, what I do for you, my readers!

1 - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock for the base.
score at 2 1/8" from each short side.

2 - 3" x 3 3/4" pieces of cardstock for the marquee.
score at 1/2" from one short side.
GOJUS!!!!! (YILM!) Isn't this just the COOLEST thing?
And the amazing thing? You want to know what the amazing thing is?!?!? I sat on these projects for MONTHS! I made them at the end of June and I was able to not show them to you for almost two months! 
I don't know how I managed it, especially considering these are SUCH cool cards, but I knew that a standard photo tutorial would just not show the complete and absolute amazing quality of these cards (YILM!), so I held out for video. And I also knew that if I showed them to you WITHOUT having a video ready, that you would all be after me all the time to post a tutorial, so I held myself back. And it nearly KILLED ME.
But I'm feeling much better now. Now that this thing is finally DONE. Now that all I need to do...
Is...
START THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO ON MY NEXT VIDEO! What have I done? What have I gotten into? Ack!!!
Time to go crawl under the covers and try not tor dream about Bejeweled Blitz. Ta!





































Jan those cards are totally FAB! I will pop on over to IE so I can watch the video too.

LOVE the card!!!! Excellent.
I don't understand tho at what point you do the image that is being revealed. Would you explain that part for us.
I appreciate too that you listed the supplies & dimensions in your blog. Those are easy for us to read when we are making the card. The one on the video was hard to read (older eyes here ... LOL).
Thank you again. You did a great job on the video.
Posted by: Kreates Kards | August 30, 2009 at 03:17 AM

Totally GOJUS! Great tutorial - and I love your voice, it's very distinctive (something singers and actors would die for!!) and now even if I've fallen asleep in front of my monitor (as can happen after 50 pages of SCS galleries) I will immediately be inspired when I hear your dulcet tones!!!

This is absolutely GOJUS!! I loved it. What an awesome technique. I'm going to try it today. You're the absolute greatest. Oh, GOJUS voice too. Looking forward to many, many more. I'm bowing down to you...as those ladies did at convention. I would have done the same too if I attended.
Posted by: Sharon | August 30, 2009 at 11:55 AM

WOW Jan, what a fantastic card although I must admit, I had to look up the word proscenium. I cannot wait to try this but it is going to require a trip to the store, there is not a sticky note in this house. You did a beautiful job on your first video and I am looking forward to watching it.
Posted by: Judi Parker | August 30, 2009 at 12:41 PM

Hugs,
Susan, aka Soozie4Him
Posted by: Susan | August 30, 2009 at 03:49 PM
Did we like it? What, are you nuts??? OF COURSE we liked it...no, not really, we LOVED it! I think you did a great job on the video and can't even begin to imagine the time it must have take you to get it all set up, fine tune the technical parts and come up with an awesome video.
As for the project? Also just GREAT! Who doesn't love an interactive card? I really liked the way you re-engineered whatever project in a book inspired you, the sliding window is terrific! My favorite card was the Season of Simple Grace one....very pretty!
If I ever get motivated enough to try to follow your great tutorial and make a card of this style, I will certainly link it. But don't hold your breath, I'm pretty sure that I don't have it in me to do all that precision punching! Jan Hoyt www.inkerzaway.blogspot.com
Posted by: Jan Hoyt | August 30, 2009 at 04:07 PM
Love it!!! Both the card and your new blog look. Both are fabulous. I've never seen a card like this one. Thanks for sharing it. It certainly makes more sense to see a video on it. Just remember that the first video will be the hardest now that you've worked out all the kinks in the procedure. We'll look forward to more in the future.
Posted by: Susan G | August 30, 2009 at 04:33 PM
I think one word says it all. AWESOME!
Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to do a class on this. My customers will love it!
Jackie
Posted by: Jackie Barfield | August 30, 2009 at 04:59 PM
Well, Jan, judging by your SLEW of comments, I'd say your video was a complete success! I know I certainly enjoyed it - I even called my husband (who likes such technical cool things) over to watch, and HE liked it too! I'm going to have to try it, although I'm a bit afraid... If it took you, the great JanTink, several tries to get it right, I'm probably in for a lot of scrap card stock :) Thank you for the time invested in this project and video tutorial! You rule the stamping world with grace and magnificence :)
Posted by: Desirée Spenst | August 30, 2009 at 05:12 PM
Oh, Jan! That was FAB-U-LOUS!!! What an ingenious card and amazing video tutorial. I can't wait until I have time to try one of those myself! I do have one question. I saw you fling like Julia Child, but do you have a self cleaning floor like she did? I've always wanted to know where to get one. LOL
Posted by: Tory B | August 30, 2009 at 05:15 PM
GOJUS!!! I loved the card and the technique. You made it seem possible even for beginners. The Julia Child moment was funny. Keep up the great work, and I really appreciate all of the work you put into this video.
Posted by: Nancy Johnson | August 30, 2009 at 05:34 PM
What a great video, thanks so much for sharing. I am definitely going to try this technique. Lovely to hear your voice(lovely as well).
Posted by: Becca | August 30, 2009 at 05:41 PM
Jan,
You are too stinkin' cute!!! Absolutely
LOVE your GOJUS cards!!!! I can't wait to try these out!!!!! Wonder what I could make for Halloween or Fall to start. Hmmmmmm.....
Loved your tutorial with your fun comments as well. My daughter & I just went to "Julie & Julia" the movie, so I had to giggle at your Julia Child coment. Meryl was perfect for the part if you are thinking of seeing it! I'm not much of a cook, but it was a very delightful movie just the same.
OK, back to the subject at hand, I must ask how you can make a card sing so lovely as your Christmas card, is that a "sound bite" that we can purchase from you? You'd better patent that before SU gets ahold of it! LOL!
Thanks for trying out the video tutorial & keep them coming. It really makes your cards come alive. Moohahaha!
Stampin' Smiles from Ear to Ear,
Ann :)
Posted by: Ann | August 30, 2009 at 07:11 PM

Posted by: Genelle Little | August 30, 2009 at 07:59 PM
This is a "freaky good" technique. Can't wait to try it...hmmmm, I'm thinking of a spider web that parts to show the spider. Have to go check out what stamps I have to accomplish that!
Posted by: Annette Jensen | August 30, 2009 at 08:16 PM
AWESOME video! You go girl! And you do not have a doofy voice!
I'll try that technique in a couple of years LOL!

WOW!! You certainly started off your video career with a BANG! Love the card and you make it seem so simple. I'll definitely be making 1 or 2. I have the perfect stamp set for this technique. I'll be sure to link back. And your blog's new look is so you. Michelle did a great job. Looking forward to many more of your tutes.

Genius production! Hope to see more in the future. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it with us..can't wait to try it!

Hi Jan; what a HOOT you are in your video. [I don't think anybody really likes their voice on tape] And thank you from the bottom of my humble heart for letting we novices see that even the Queen does make errors at times. It's good to be Queen, eh?? Great cards! Thx.. :>

Jan--I knew you had talent, but I didn't know you could sing. What a voice!!!!!! I am trying to close my mouth after viewing this video, and am having trouble, as I am in complete awe of this card. You deserve some chocolate for this design and video!

There were times when you were talking that I could hear a female version of your dad......and then I could hear your mom!!! Don't know who the singing takes after, but you are definitely your parents daughter!!!
