Welcome to Cards by Kendra!  Today, I'm super excited to share my first project as a Design Team member for TLC Designs! I am part of the YouTube & Instagram team, so my creations will be posted on the TLC Designs YouTube channel and Instagram accounts.   My project today features the Dragon Baby Greetings Digital Stamp set .  This little baby dragon is just too adorable!  I wanted to use the See You In the Center die set to make the baby dragon look like he's peeking out of his shell.  Instead of using the frame dies in this set, I decided to use the largest stitched circle from the Aztec Sunshine Die set .  I also used the Perfectly Precious paper pad  and the Action Stamps .   For instructions on how I made this card, watch the YouTube video posted on the TLC Designs YouTube Channel.     Here's a little clip to see the card in action: The first time I made this card, I glued two pieces of this heavyweight cardstock toge...

 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'm excited to share these "Beach Cutie" handmade cards that I created for the MFT Sketch Challenges 489 and 490. I decided to use the "Beach Cutie" Stamp and Die set from My Favorite Things as my focal point. I started out making the background first because I wanted to try using my new Dylusions Shimmer Sprays.  I had several sheets of watercolor paper already cut to 4.25" x 5.5" as well as some regular Neenah solar white 80# cardstock.  I used Bubblegum Pink and Pure Sunshine shimmer sprays because I thought those two colors looked great together.  I had never used these before so it was trial and error.  For the first spray, I sprayed directly on the watercolor paper and completely covered it.  I kept spraying until there was no more white showing.  It was beautiful!  Then I realized I didn't need to use so much.  Next, I sprayed it on my glass mat and did a smooshing technique.  I ...
