Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards. For my final Youtube Tuesday video this month, I'm sharing the making of a waterfall card using images from our sponsor this month, Craftin' Desert Divas.
I just made my first waterfall card last month and it's not that difficult but it sure does have a wow factor. Why not try making one for our challenge this month.
You can make any sort of card or project you wish just so long as it contains a fancy fold.
One winner, picked at random, will win two digital images from Craftin' Desert Divas.

Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards with a video inspired by our North Pole Blog Hop. I've never tried this crafty project, but it looks easy enough so I'm going to give it a go:
How about you? Do you think you'll try it?
One thing I want you to try is entering our challenge this month! Make any sort of fancy fold card or project you want!
One winner, picked at random, will receive two digital images from our sponsor this month, Craftin' Desert Divas.
If you'd like to know more about the challenge or would like to link up your project, just click here.
For those of you who have worked with digital stamps previously, this will be a big help.
I'm also sharing a video on using their SVG files in the event the e-cutter is your go-to for your craft projects.
And now that you know everything you need to know about Craftin' Desert Divas, here's a third video featuring CCD images on a fancy fold card, which happens to be our challenge theme this month.
I hope you plan on joining us in our challenge this month. Any sort of fancy fold you want! Go crazy!

Hello everyone! It's Kim from Katydid Cards with another YouTube Tuesday.
Today I'm sharing a video featuring "Stella", one of Bugaboo Stamps signature characters. I have to admit, I love Stella and if you check her out at the Bugaboo store, you'll see that she speaks for a lot of women of "a certain age" when you're old enough to say it like it is!
There's nothing earth-shattering about the making of this card but she does mention she printed this image one and colored it. Then she copied it and the copies were pretty good, saving her from having to color each image individually. When you're making multiples of cards, this is a big time saver.
I know I'm going try this and I hope you do, too. I also hope you will join us in our monthly challenge. This month, a color challenge.
And here's the color palette for you to use:
Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and one lucky winner, picked at random, will receive a gift code to their store!

Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards sharing another YouTube video. The theme for our blog hop this month is Day of Thanks, so I thought I would share a video on making an Autumn/Thanksgiving card.
Actually, this is the first in a series of seven videos; so if you like this one look on YouTube for the remaining six.
Our color challenge this month is perfect for an Autumn/Thanksgiving card, so I hope you'll use this video as a jumping off point to make a project using this color palette.
One luck winner, picked at random, will win a gift code to the Bugaboo Store, our awesome sponsor this month!

Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards with a YouTube Tuesday video. Since our challenge this month is a color challenge, I felt it appropriate to share a video about color challenges:
In this video, she shows how she interpreted a color challenge on eight unique cards. I hope this inspires you do make a project for our challenge this month:
And here's the color palette we're challenging you to use:
Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and that would be enough to make me enter the challenge as they have the best digital images.

Hi folks. It's Kim from Katydid Cards sharing a great video with you today.
I don't know about you, but I find it so frustrating to spend hours making a craft project and can't wait to share it on my blog only to find out the pictures I took are dark, blurry or don't show that project in the way I had hoped.
I found this video by Leo Kowal of Dreaming Tree and found it extremely helpful, so I'm hoping you will get some great pointers from it as well.
Here you go:
If your picture taking improves after watching this video, I sure hope you will share your positive outcome here in the comments section and give Leo a thumb's up, too.

If you own an electronic cutter, you've probably heard of Treasure Box Designs and their adorable paper piecing designs! But, did you know each file includes a .jpg image so you can create beautiful print and cut files? You didn't? Well, now you do!
Here's a video on how to create a Print and Cut on a Silhouette:
The same adorable images, but in a fraction of the time. What could be better?

If you look at the adorable paper piecing designs from Treasure Box, you will immediately see the adorable faces which bring these pieces to life.
Well, I have a treat for you today. This video is by Dina St. Laurent, artist and owner of Treasure Box Designs. Who better to watch to learn how to do this?
Dina makes this look easy, but I'm still a work in progress. Practice makes perfect, though, and I can't think of better files to work with than Treasure Box Designs.

Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you to share another YouTube video!
Since many of us are preparing for for back to school (and all that entails), I thought I would share a video on teacher gift ideas on a budget...from a teacher. Who better to tell you what teachers might need and appreciate.
She talks about them being great for Christmas and the end of the school year, but there's nothing wrong with gifting the teacher at the start of the school year and getting things off on the right foot (yep, bribery).
I hope you like this video and please do let us know if you make something you saw here. We love that kind of feedback!

Hi, folks. It's Kim from Katydid Cards with a new video for you. Since our challenge this month is water-coloring, Connie found this great video which will help you explore new techniques.
Who knew adding salt or bleach to your water could create cool effects. And you'll never confine Saran Wrap to the kitchen again.
I hope you try these and, if you do, don't forget to enter the challenge this month. You can find all the details here.

Hi! It's Kim from Katydid Cards. Did you happen to catch our All American Blog Hop? If not, I hope you go back and check it out!

I also want to remind you there's still time to enter Connie's challenge this month. The theme is,"Use Your Stash". All you need to do is make a
project using your stash and we all have that!
