What's New On My YouTube Channel For February!

 What's New On My YouTube Channel

For February?

Well, I did all of my Valentine videos last month, so this month will have some surprises, some cardmaking, and who knows what else.  But as my videos go up I will add them to this post so you can check out the ones that interest you, and then let me know below in the comments which of my videos was your FAVORITE!


My Tuesday 2 Minute Tips & Tricks will continue to go up every Tuesday for the next few months and we are starting off the month of February with this one....

If your favorite stamps are the wrong size for your card or project, what can you do to change the size?

My second Adults & Crafts unboxing! What will it be this time???

 Hi everyone! 

Most of you know who I am, my name is Janie.  You might also be familiar with my YouTube channel....

Janie - The Craft Princess

For the past 4 years my blog has been a challenge blog, but now it is back to being my blog where I will share my cardmaking and craft projects and YouTube videos with you.


I haven't posted my things here yet this year, so what I'm going to do is re-cap what I have been doing in January.  Below are links to my January YouTube videos.  If you click on the YouTube option at the bottom of each video, or the title above each video, you will be able to watch them on YouTube in a larger screen.  I hope you will leave comments on my videos because I would LOVE to hear from you 😊💗🤗

My Tuesday 2 minute Tips & Tricks series started the first Tuesday in January and will continue every Tuesday for at least the next 18 weeks.  These are short 2 minute (aprox) videos with helpful craft and cardmaking tips.

I also want to let you know that I am on InLoveArts design team and have affliate links and discount codes for anyone that is interested.  Affliliate links benefit me, but they do NOT change the price for you.  I always have links in my video description boxes to the products used, but here is a link to InLoveArts shop....CLICK HERE
