Christmas Cards With Style- YouTube Tutorial Video Part 1

Are you making holiday cards this year? I am and I have gotten off to a good start. I need to make about 20 and I am almost done.

My NEW YouTube video is a tutorial of how I made these cute Sassy Stencil Girls for my Christmas cards. This is part 1 of a 3 part series. I used a female, magazine image to make the stencil, traced it on patterned paper and then painted their hair, skin and outfit. The "Merry Christmas" dies are from Scrapbook dot com.

Here are some pictures showing the supplies I used for these Christmas cards and few samples. So fun to make!

Girl stencil, 5x7 white cards, patterned paper, acrylic paint, tape, and word dies.

Word dies are from Scrapbook dot com.

Patterned paper is from Kaiser Crafts.

This is a different idea to try for Christmas and I hope you will give it a try. Thanks for stopping by and be inspired!

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

" The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

First YouTube Anniversary

While the pandemic was devastating there were some good moments that happened in 2020. For years, I had dreamed of creating YouTube crafting tutorials and last year in the mist of the stressful times, I got started. My channel is called K. Simone Designs and I would love for you to visit and subscribe if you haven't. Join the inspiration party! June of 2020, I posted my first tutorial called, "Mini Album Card." Did you see it? I was so excited to share my favorite mini album card with the world. I had been making them for years and this video got a great reception. Video Link HERE Since then, I have continued to learn and grow in my videos. I am so proud of my progress and determination to stick with it in spite of the highs and lows. I hope you all have enjoyed the variety of content I have produced. My goal was to inspire you and based on the comments, I think I met that objective. Yay! :) Let's look at some of my YouTube stats as of today. Subscribers: 217 Paper
