The Sensational Cylinder Card Video Tutorial

Well, I'm telling you, this was so much fun to make, LOL! At least, when I finally got it all recorded! Still some things to tweak as far as videos go, but I think you'll find this is an improvement over the last time.

I made one of these cards before and posted it here. I always meant to get around to making a tutorial or at least posting a template and it just never happened. Mea culpa.

But now I'm going to fix that and this video will make those of you wanting to find out how to make a cylinder card very, very happy! So, without further ado:

Here's a picture of the card:

• 1 - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece cardstock for card base.
• 1 - 5" x 8" piece of cardstock for the insert.

Well, there you have it. One more reason to love me! Ta!

[Jayne Stenstrom]

Oh - my - goodness. You are TOO funny! That particular thought never came to my mind, but now I won't be able to look at that set in the mini without holding my nose!! :)

p.s. I missed you in Cincinnati last week because we were there on Friday. I'm sure your presentation was STINKIN' CUTE!

[Leslie Jones]

LOVE this card and LOVE the video! Great job! You always make me laugh when I read your blog, but watching you sling those sticky strip "peel-offs" everywhere made me hysterical! I do the same thing. When I finish a major crafting session there will be bits of all sorts of things like that all over my craft room. Once, I opened a package of cardstock and part of the package was sticking to my hand. As usual, I slung if off. When I was cleaning up later (much later) I found it...on my ceiling fan!! LOL Keep up the great work.

How about a video on that triangle fold card that is on that original post with the castle cylinder card in 2007?

[Holly]

Great card Jan!! Love the ice cubes you made very clever!!

[kathynruss]

This would make a great "If Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemonade" card! Too bad, that set retired long, long, ago. TYFS

[Jayne Fuller]

Way cute, Jan!!!

[campcropalot]

I love it! You are so awesome Miss Jan!
I am going for a cold beverage right now!

[Sheila Bennett]

Wow - super fun card! Love the colors, and the detail in the drink is great.

[Kathy Berger]

I am thrilled to see what you've done with my general instructions for a pop-up cylinder! It is one of my favorite mechanisms (I've used it for glasses like yours, for castles as you did, for rocket ships, and even a very tiny one as a hummingbird nest.)

As I am sure you noticed, getting the mechanism just right depends on what you are trying to do with the cylinder, and with the size of your card... that's why my instructions were general rather than specific. However, with practice it becomes easier to get the cylinder sizes just right.

Thanks for the credit for the mechanism. And thanks for the fun tutorial.

Hi Jan,
I really enjoy your blog and cards featured there. I tried getting the list of your 'for sale' items but can't bring either one up. I have Windows 7 with the Micorsoft works word. Is there another way you could get them to me?
Thanks,
Linda
