pcPolyzine Video Tutorial Transcript: Last Minute Holiday Cards

Intro: Love, relationship, relatives and your friends -‐ that's what I think all the holidays are about

anyway. Yes. And then there are different reasons as well. :)

Greeting and Opening:

Hello, my sweet honey bunnies. Welcome to Mandarin Ducky's Creative Corner. Thank you for

joining us today. Winter season is on our doorstep and obviously all winter beautiful holidays

are getting me personally very excited. I'm gonna see my friends, I'm gonna see some relatives,

I'm gonna have some nice meals and I'm gonna send some secret cards to different people.

So if you need some quick tips and advices on creating some last minute cards for winter holiday

season -‐ here I am to help you out. So it doesn't matter who you are or where you are -‐ this

tutorial will suit everyone. So, let's not waste our time and let us start.

Materials:

• I already prepared some flat sheets of clay in gold, bronze and sparkly white.

• All clay in this video was conditioned through level #2 on my pasta machine.

Instructions:

So I will start with placing my clay cutters in the right position and then I will gently push them

in. Let's get rid of all that excess clay and gently remove cutters from it. After that's done -‐ the

first thing I will do is make the edges of all three shapes finished. For me working with flat clay is

just like working with fabric. I always make sure all edges have nice stitch -‐ like finish. Now let's

give each ornament a personal touch. I will start with David's star and give it more detailed look.


Next, I will switch to Snowman and will add two little black clay dots for eyes and will make a

tiny black sausage for mouth. Then I will create red little nose in a shape of a carrot. For

snowman's hat, we will need to use a small flat square of black clay. It's very easy, just cut out

the shape of a hat and you are done. I will also need to crop snowman's head to match the

flatness of his hat.

When that's done, I will add some little black buttons. For a gingerbread man I created a little

red clay stripe for a mouth and two little white dots for eyes :) And don't forget about the

buttons. They will add some cuteness. I also decorated David's star with same easy techniques

and now I am going to add some more elements with my texture and shape tool.

So, here they are. I think they look nice and they definitely have one similar style. Let's put them

on baking tray and bake them :) I'm using my orange silicon baking mat here. I was using FIMO

EFFECT clays in this project, so I will have to bake my clay for 30 minutes in 110'C / 230'F

degrees.

Now baking is done and let's attach baked decorations to our cards. I was lazy and I went out

and bought these simple cards for crafting in local crafts store. You should definitely have some

of these in your stores as well, or just make them yourself from colorful paper.

I have this double-‐sided tape here and I will use it to attach my clay ornaments to the card. it

will also give it a lovely three-‐ dimensional effect.

You can go further and do more advanced design. Take gold or silver gel pen and draw some

hearts, winter or Christmas pictures on the front of the card. It's entirely up to you. Feel free and

use your fantasy! :) This project is very cute and easy to do. It's perfect for having fun with your

children. This way you can make last minute cards for any occasion as long as you have the right

clay cutters.

So we are all done guys and this is what we created. I think this project is very cute and nice and

I'm really happy that it suits any kind of religion or any kind of nationality because not many

people celebrate Christmas around the World or some people just don't. They have different

traditions and I really wanted to touch every of your hearts and to give something a little bit,

you know, just something for you so you can participate as well. It doesn't matter Christmas or


what… Love, relationship, relatives and your friends -‐ that's what I think all the holidays are

about anyway. Yes. And then there are different reasons as well. :)

So I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and it's going to be at least a little bit helpful for you guys if

you need some last minute cards. And I see you guys soon in the next videos. Bye! Good Luck!
