Welcome to Cards By Kendra! Today, I'm using my new Simon Hurley create ink pads for the very first time along with some of his new stamps to create this Bobble Head Surfer card. See it in action here: I learned a few things while making this card: 1.  Use a blending tool rather than a brush 2.  Test out the colors BEFORE trying to make a card 3.  Stamp two images of whatever you are trying to make "wobble" - in this case, his head. I should've stamped out two heads and colored them the same and then layered the second head on top of the first. But then again, it may look like he has two heads, so I don't know which is better. Having a floating head? Having two heads? Eh...either way, he turned out cute!

Welcome to Cards By Kendra!   Today I've posted a video on my YouTube Channel that is going to show you how to work with digital stamps and manipulate them in Silhouette Studio so you can print them out as a PDF file on any printer.   The Silhouette Studio program is free to download and you don’t have to have the electronic die cutting machine in order to use it. It’s really user friendly.   There are several programs you can use to print out digital stamps, such as Microsoft Word or Paint, but this one is my favorite.   Click here for t he link to the Silhouette Studio software download.

Hello and Welcome to Cards By Kendra!   It has been a while since I last posted.  I have been crafting, organizing and getting ready to move my craft room from my dining room to an empty bedroom. It's been A LOT of work! But I'm super excited because I'll have a lot more room and places for storage. Today, I'm so excited to participate in my first ever video hop #TeamTinyUnderTheSea with the group "Team Tiny"!  This group was created by Katharine Kelly to help small channels grow AND allow viewers to watch content AD-FREE (because YouTube does not show commercials on small channels).  This group is open to all crafters who create videos on Youtube that have less than 1k subscribers. If you would like to participate, please leave me a comment and I will let you know how to get involved.   When watching videos on Youtube, it is important that you like, comment, subscribe and share our videos so that Youtube will actively promote them.  This hop features the &quo
