There’s Always One Duck!

Hey there crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card using the Kinda Cute by Patricia “There’s Always One Duck” digital stamp!

Aren’t these little ducks so sweet?! And the little mischievous one just has my heart!

To make this card, I stamped some images from the Miss Ink Stamps “Rise and Shine” stamp set and the “Punny Farm Pigs” stamp set. Then, I used Copic markers to color the images in.

After my images were colored in completely, I grabbed a sentiment from the Heffy Doodle “Hot Diggity Dog” stamp set and stamped it directly onto my background.

I adhered my ducks using 3D foam adhesives, and voila! Finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you enjoyed my blog post and enjoy the rest of your week!

Kinda Cute Alien Birthday

Hey there! I’m so glad you stopped by my blog today! Today, I am sharing a birthday card using Kinda Cute by Patricia’s Alien Digital Stamp Set.

To make this card, I am starting with the galaxy background. I used Heffy Doodle’s Stargazer Backdrop on a piece of white cardstock. Then, I created the galaxy effect by blending Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, Blueprint Sketch, Twisted Citron, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I colored my images using Copic markers and then cut them out using scissors.

For my sentiment, I used the MFT Space Explorer stamp set. I also grabbed a few stars from this stamp set and used 3D foam squares to adhere them to my card front.

Here’s a few closeups of the finished card!

Let’s Get a Pumpkin!

Have you picked out pumpkins for carving yet?? We have the cutest little local farm here that has a huge pumpkin patch that we love to go to every year! They have hay rides, corn mazes, and lots of treats! The kids just love going there!

This sweet girl on this card reminds me of my 6 year old daughter! I just HAD to make a card with her. She’s a digital stamp from Kinda Cute called “Girl with Wheelbarrow“.

I printed the image on 80# Neenah cardstock and then colored her in with Copic markers.

I finished the card off by adding some black cardstock and then patterned paper behind it!
I hope you were inspired by my post and I hope you’re having a great week so far! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! It really means a lot to me!

Now, I’m going to cut all of my images out with some precision scissors. After I’m finished with that, I’m ready to arrange my scene. I am using some stencils and dies and distress oxides to create my background. The stencils are from Simon Says Stamp and the die is from Heffy Doodle.


I am going to heat emboss some sentiments with white embossing powder on black cardstock and then adhere everything to my card using 3D foam squares and strips.
