It feels like forever since I sat down to actually craft in my craft space. Like, I need to dig it out… Long (short) story. This past month I’ve been looking at who I am following to get my inspiration back. Let’s take a look:
Paper Crafting and Card Making
Laurel Beard has returned to her YouTube channel with a new series to help us use what we already have.
Ardyth uses her YouTube channel to experiment with process in ways I might not always want to attempt but am fascinated by none the less.
Call Me Crafty Al creates some amazing card sketches. I’ve used her Sheetload of Cards sketches for years. They are a great way to make a lot of cards with a minimum of supplies. Al (aka: Alicia) has expanded the content on her channel so be sure to click the link to see what she is up to.
Jackie Bolhuise from Klompen Stampers is a long time Stampin Up demonstrator who specializes in quick and easy cards with minimum supplies. She has several series of card templates that are useful and well considered.
Cathy Zielsky is a card designer and a product designer who uses her graphic design background to create some beautiful cards. She does not focus on one particular brand (not even her own) but showcases a variety of brands and supplies. Catch her Wednesday Live show for some interesting banter and beautiful cards.
Gina K. Designs is one of those channels that has a wide variety of topics when it comes to paper crafting. If you are wanting to learn more about Gina’s product line, gain insight with her tips and tricks, this is one to check out.
Fabric Arts
Chelsea She Sews Seams is a great place to go when you are looking to learn how to sew. Lots of encouragement. Lots of great ideas. A great place to relax and learn to take things one step at a time. Chelsea is a great teacher with easy to do projects that are actually useful.
Sew Sew Lounge is one of those sewing channels that landed in my feed even though I have no desire to learn how to make garments. Toni is a long time sewer who loves to share her experiences in the sewing room (good and bad). She has a broad knowledge base that could be quite helpful if you are interested in garment sewing.
Quilting Arts
Missouri Star Quilt Company is a long time favorite. They started out teaching basic quilt making with a focus on pre cuts and have expanded into embroidery and other fabric arts. If you want to learn how to quilt or find a new pattern or test out a new fabric art craft, Missouri Star is the place.
These are some of my favorite YouTube channels. Many have blogs or websites with more information. Grab a cuppa your favorite drink and settle in to see what they have to offer.
