Unboxing videos are all the rage--people opening their freshly-arrived box of whatever product and giving their unscripted, off-the-cuff thoughts about it. Even my 14 year old Lego fanatic has seen dozens of these.
I thought it was all kind of silly until I got a package of 34 Stampin' Up Advisory Board Alumni swaps in the mail and my FIRST thought was, "I gotta share this with my stampers!"
So... here it is--my first (and maybe last) unboxing video! You'll have to tell me what you think.
Kind fun seeing all those different cards, huh? Weren't they great? Not a dud in the bunch.
If you enjoyed this totally random walk-through and would like to see more, leave me a comment below. Which do you prefer--my regular technique-based short tutorials, or a less formal, unscripted approach? Does the length matter more than anything else? Or do you mind if it's a little long, as long as it's interesting?
Thanks for your thoughts, friends!
Lyssa, I loved your unboxing video! Thanks for sharing your wonderful box of goodies with all of us!

It was great to see all of the samples with you! I will be watching it again as there were many good ideas!

How fun was that! It always amazes me how creative people are. Makes me want to order a lot more than I need from the Holiday Catalog. Thanks for sharing.

Love seeing all those cards, but some of them had a glare on them and were hard to distinguish. As for future videos, since my computer time is limited because of eye problems, "shorter is better", lol I always lo frward to your tutorials and LARGE photos of cards!

WOW! Thanks for sharing all these with us Lyssa. There were some fabulous samples. I think it was a great idea to share your "unboxing".

Loved seeing all the swaps Lyssa, thank you so much for sharing!! I thought the length was perfect, and I appreciated that you tried to deconstruct some of the elements so that we can try CASE-ing at home. I hope you'll do more, as I love seeing all the fun swaps people make for different events!

I loved it, Lyssa! It was fun to hear your reactions and I appreciated you telling us tips about some of them - i.e. products used, clever ideas, etc. It was super fun and I would love to see you do this kind of video again. Thanks so much!!

That was a great idea. Gave us all a chance to see what others are doing, and more fun to listen to something other than a tutorial, which can sometimes be kinda dry.
