Welcome to Cards By Kendra!   It has been a while since I last posted! I'm a teacher and I just switched to a different teaching position in a new school, so I've been moving my classroom. It's been a lot of work because the decorations I had aren't really appropriate for high schoolers, so I've been busy making decor for my new Technology computer lab classroom.  I'm so excited to be teaching Digital Information Technology even though it will have some challenges since we are doing a blended model this school year due to COVID-19. I will have to have virtual meetings while also teaching in person in the classroom at the same time. So I'm not sure how this is going to go. But I'm still excited about the change and look forward to school starting. Just nervous about being exposed to so many students.   Today, I'm so excited to participate in the #TeamTinyChristmasInJuly video hop with the group "Team Tiny"!  This group was created by Kathari...

Welcome to Cards By Kendra! Today, I'm sharing a quick and easy Patriotic "Red, White & Blue" themed card that I made using Distress Oxide Inks, Simon Hurley create's Stargazer stencil and Ranger Ink's Texture Paste. CELEBRATE! I made this card for a card swap group that I'm a member of on Facebook called Card Swaps for All Seasons.  This particular theme was red, white & blue.  I decided to keep the sentiment simple so it could be used for multiple occasions.  Here's a short video showing how I made this card: https://youtu.be/MSMEkFGnPYY Supplies: Some of the links below contain affiliate links.

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 feat...
