How to Create Last Minute Holiday Cards

Constantly late with holiday cards?

I might even pick up a card earlier than the holiday cards but then I forget where they are, can’t find a stamp, or even my favorite get it all ready to go and then find it three months after the holiday buried in a school book.  UGGGHH

Happy Valentine’s Day From the Joyous Gioia’s Video was produced for this reason.

The night before Valentine’s Day I rushed around thinking of what I could do for the grandparents that fit in our budget.  The make-a-Valentine and mail it time was over and the Mrs. Fields Cookie baskets were way out of our over nite budget.

No Editing Skills No Problem

We did the Three Bears and Goldie Locks Video several years ago before I had any idea how to edit.   In fact, I rush ordered the editing through fiver.com to even get the film to what you see now.  Plus I filmed it on an old LG phone with a pull out text pad ( I do miss that phone).   So excuse the poor video quality.

 Apple phones are the only way to go when making videos.

Did I say only?  I mean only!! Apples picture quality can’t be beat on any other phone.  Even famous youtubers like Casey Neistat  use iphones. For basic editing which I am still learning I started the Holiday cards on some $5 apps.  Check out this one did with the Replay App.  I MOVIE is quick to learn and only $5.  Both work well and can be added to a youtube channel.  Spend $5 bucks , play with the app have fun let your kids teach you how to use.

Holiday cards are not my thing in this season of my life.  Make that quick video add some rockin’ music and fire it off.  Anytime of day or night without stamps or postage.  Plus videos make everyone smile without making them fat!

Pssst Mother’s Day is May 8th.  Why not make one about the kids today on Replay!
