Hello! Welcome to Cards by Kendra! I'm excited to be a part of the Team Tiny New Beginnings hop where members of the Team Tiny facebook group are sharing creations with the NEW BEGINNINGS theme - which could be a New Year’s card, a wedding card or a baby card or anything that falls under new beginnings.   Today, I’m sharing this trifold baby card that I made using alcohol inks on glitter paper to create the ombre letters.   The patterned paper is Doodlebug Design’s Bundle of Joy paper pad . The matching cardstock is So Saffron by Stampin' Up. I’m using MFT Stamps Impact alphabet dies .   I cut down a piece of  white glitter paper  to 6”x6”.  On the alcohol ink applicator  add a little bit of alcohol ink blending solution to the felt pad and then add enchanted alcohol pearls ink to it.  Next, apply Lemonade alcohol ink and overlap it with the pink to create a peachy orange color.   Then add the green color Envy ...

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!   Today I wanted to share with you this cute "Welcome Baby" card that I made! If you saw my last blog post, you'll notice I used the same background since I've been experimenting with Distress Oxide inks.  I wanted to try using a different giraffe stamp this time.    This was the first time I've ever used a digital stamp and I am totally thrilled with the results!!  This cute heart spotted giraffe digital stamp is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.  I printed it on #80 Neenah Solar White yardstick and colored it using  alcohol markers    The background was made with the  giraffe stencil from Whimsy Stamps . I taped the stencil to the back of a sheet of 4"x6"  photo paper  and applied  Distress Oxide ink in Walnut Stain  using a Picket Fence Life Changing Blender Brush .  I immediately removed the stencil and wiped it with a wet paper towel to remov...

I taped the stencil to the back of a sheet of 4"x6"  photo paper . I first attempted this background using Distress Oxide ink in Walnut Stain on distress paper (see video below). Once I sprayed it with water, it wasn’t really the look I was going for, so I tried it on photo paper. It went on great but once it started to dry, it had a cloudy film on it. (This is due to the pigments in the oxide ink). When I wiped it with a wet paper towel, I was amazed!! It was exactly the look I wanted. I figured out that if I used just...
