Welcome to a new "Cards by Kendra" blog post!
Today, I'm excited to share this "Meant to Be" handmade card that I created a few weeks ago when schools were first cancelled due to the Corona virus pandemic.
I am a school teacher and we just started distance learning last week. The two weeks before that, we were on Spring Break and then I had a somewhat easy week preparing to start teaching online. I enjoyed making so many handmade cards and actually having time to learn some new techniques! Since the kids officially started back, I've been working 12 hours each day. I've worked more from home as a teacher than I ever did while at school! It's been insane! So, I say all this to tell you that I haven't had time to finish my video and post it. But today, I finally just made myself stop working and do something that I've been wanting to do. I've got a lot more cards I want to share with you, so I'll be working on getting those posted soon!
I created this card to post as a card share in the Facebook Group "Card Swaps for All Seasons". The theme for the card share was to use any type of embossing folder. I've had the hexagons 3D embossing folder for a while but have never used it, so I was excited to finally get creative with it. I thought it paired perfectly with the Honey Bee Stamp set. I loved the hearts dies from the "Meant to Be" bundle and the saying "Meant to Be". I just had to add another "e" to coordinate it with the honey bees! Since I don't have to mail this card and I get to keep it, I think I may have to give it to my husband for our anniversary in a few weeks!
I thought I'd try something new this time and not talk in this video. I added text and music instead. (Not sure if this is better or not- let me know what you think in the comments). After I uploaded it to YouTube, I received a copyright claim for the music that I added! How frustrating! It was free music included with the "Live Filmmaker Pro" app that I purchased to edit my videos. So, I apologize for the awkwardness....I had to mute the song to remove the copyright claim. Sigh.
I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to read my blog and watch my video! It means a lot to me!
