I'm posting today for Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez. Patricia has some of the cutest stamps -- both acrylic and digital! They are more than just Kinda Cute!
Today, I have a bit of inspiration for you using one of her Koala digital stamps. It is one set that comes with 3 different bear in it. I happened to love the little koala butt in this digi!
See? Doesn't he have a cute butt? Well, he's cute all over, don't you think?
I colored the Koala with Copic markers, then fussy cut him. I heated up my foiling machine, and foiled a background for him. It's hard to see too much shine, but it's very shiny on that Moroccan pattern in real life. The sentiment is computer generated.
Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. They are from the Trees Paper Collection, except for the paper that the sentiment is printed on. That's from the Dreamy Creamy paper pack.
There's a wonderful Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez Facebook Group with inspiration, a monthly contest, and great camaraderie. Also, make sure you visit the Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez Shop to see all she has to offer!
I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:
Outlawz Festive Friday -- ATG
Cutie Pie Challenge -- Anything Cute Goes
Incy Wincy Designs -- use something metallic (foiled background)
Crafty Creations Challenge -- ATG
It's the 3rd Wednesday of the month, and that means it's time for a new challenge over on the Scrapy Land Challenge Blog. Challenges go for 2 weeks, and are always Anything Goes, as long as you use a die sold in the Scrapy Land Store. Scrapy Land sells over 55 brands of dies (that equates to hundreds of dies) so you have plenty to choose from!
I love hummingbirds! They are beautiful, incredible flyers, very spunky, and great fun to watch at a bird feeder. If you've ever been lucky enough to see a hummingbird nest, it's a sight you'll not soon forget. So, when I saw this Creative Expressions Triple Layer Collection Hummingbird die, I had to have it!
This particular die has sold out, but there are other Creative Expressions Triple Layer dies in the Scrapy Land Store. I really like the Triple Layer dies. They are very easy to work with, and you can use 1, 2, or all 3 layers like I did here.
The outside frame is also from Creative Expressions. It is no longer available, but is the Poppy Frames & Tags dies set. I used the outside layers to create this card.
The patterned papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. The metallic paper used with the hummingbird was purchased from Crafters Companion. The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Close To My Heart, and the crinkle ribbon is from D.L. Art.
Here's another view where the metallic shine shows a little differently:
I found the hummer a bit difficult to photograph with the reflection of the metallic paper.
Anything Goes with a die from the Scrapy Land Store -- easy, right? I hope you join us this next 2 weeks! I'd love to see your creations!
