Welcome to a new "Cards by Kendra" blog post! Finally, the school year is winding down, thank goodness! Online teaching is definitely not what I thought it would be. With my limited amount of time due to working so much, I was only able to sign up for 5 swaps this month. I barely got those done, much less try out new card-making techniques and post on my blog weekly like I planned. But I wanted to share with you the cards that I made for this month's card swaps. The first swap was a color theme, yellow and blue.  I decided to try a floating flower frame technique. I stamped and die cut several different size flowers in both colors. I arranged them around a weathered wood patterned paper cut to 3.75" x 5" that was adhered to a white 110 lb. white cardstock base. Using Glad Press & Seal, I picked them up off of the paper to keep them in place. I flipped it over and added strips of 3D foam tape to the back of the flowers. Before removing the back strip,...

Welcome to another "Cards by Kendra" blog post! I made this quick, fun birthday shaker card for the My Favorite Things Color Challenge #137 I used the green polka dot paper from the Over the Rainbow Paper Pack with a Chocolate cardstock frame on white 110# heavyweight cardstock (cut to A2 size, top fold). The Happy Birthday Circle Die was cut from green cardstock and then I layered it on top of a lighter green cardstock. I had a slightly bigger circle die that I used to cut another frame from the chocolate color cardstock. I used a lemon color cardstock on the backside, which is what shows through the shaker pouch. I filled the shaker pouch with iridescent and gold sequins. I added a matching brown ribbon and a lemon and gold twine bow to finish the card.  I hope you like it!  P lease leave a comment and let me know what you think!  I'd love to read your comments!   Thanks! ~Kendra Morgan Please visit my website  www.cardsbykendra.c...

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!   Today I wanted to share the tutorial video for these three handmade cards I made using Distress oxide inks for making the backgrounds.  I posted about the third card a few days ago, which is a scented "Happy Birthday" card.  I promised a tutorial video on how I made it, so here it is!  Two of these three cards are shaker cards. The first card I made (not a shaker card) is below. The first card was made using an emboss resist technique with the Batik stencil from Martha Stewart.  My video tutorial doesn't show all of the steps and instructions for the first card shown in the picture.  It only shows how I made the background.  To finish the card, I used the "Friend" die and the flower/vine die from the  "Well Written" die set by Stampin' Up. I thought the flower matched the center part of the stenciled image pretty well.  Black cardstock was used to cut out the die cuts and the...

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!   Today I wanted to share this card that I made for a card swap with a watercolor theme for the Facebook Group "Card Swaps for All Seasons".  I've been experimenting with a lot of different types of ink lately and for this card I used several different techniques using watercolor pencils, Distress Oxide Inks and Distress Spray. The watercolor frame was made using three of my favorite colors of distress oxide inks on watercolor paper using a smooshing technique (I found a video for this on YouTube a while back).  I used the following Distress Oxide ink colors:   squeezed lemonade , twisted citron and mermaid lagoon .  After letting this dry overnight I used the largest die and then two sizes smaller to make the frame from the torn edge rectangle die set .  Next, I used a die that had small holes in it on a piece of clear acetate that was cut just slightly bigger than the smaller rectangle die. ...
