Copic Sketch Coloring of a Little Bird Sketch | Speed Coloring Video

Sketch little bird with letter

Hello!

Today I only have a video. Wait, what? A video? YES! I'm trying to get going again with the videos in my YouTube channel.

My plan is to do more than only coloring videos, I have several "tutorials" recorded from a long time ago but never edited them or published them because several reasons that I will list"

1.- I want to do the videos in English since I basically run my business in English. Problem... I think my English is not good enough and when I edit the videos I can't stand myself talking in English!

2.- My tutorial videos are very basic. I don't have so many supplies as everyone else out there have. I have outdated things, I'm clumsy and I make a lot of mistakes. So the video is not "professional"quality. Maybe I should do funny crafty videos haha.

3.- Basically the point 1 and 2. No point 3 (that I see right now, but hold it here just in case haha).

So I decided not to be so hard on myself. Try to have fun making videos, if there are mistakes, maybe you can laugh or learn about them. If my tutorials are basic... well, maybe you don't have as many supplies as others either. Maybe you are just starting. Maybe you just like to hear my voice haha.

I don't know... I'll try to have as much fun with it as possible and see if that works for me. I tend to be  my worst critic.

Here is the video I published yesterday. It's just a speed video coloring. I hope you like it. It's only two minutes long!

Hugs,

Patricia

Inspirational card with Girl Biking Sketch | CAS cards

Inspirational card using Girl Biking Sketch digital stamp 

Hi there!

I'm back!! Isn't it great that I try to keep up my blog and everything? Well, I have good intentions but then sometimes life gets in the middle and... I stop.

Anyway, today... I have this super cute card made by AJ using Girl Biking Sketch digital stamp. The sketches are more or less like the finished versions but they have rougher lines because they are just made digis after the original pencil sketch. Some people prefer sketches. Me, for example. But you can find the finished version of this image here too (sorry if you are outside of the US and you get redirected to Etsy, but the images should be there too).

She usually make these big eyes in my images and use brighter colors. Isn't it pretty? I love how she draw a little road and grass too. The quote that she decided to use to go with the image is just fantastic. We should think about it and act accordingly ;).

Ups, I forgot... I'm doing MerMay again this year. It's an Instagram challenge that consists in drawing 31 mermaids during May, one each day. I already have some made but I can't have the time to come here and make a post every day. So check my Instagram account to see them all and let me know what you think ;). They are already as digis in my stores.

Have a great rest of the day!

Hugs,

Patricia

Grapes and mice. New Digital Stamps in the Store | New Release

Happy Grapes

Hello!

Between one thing and another I didn't realize that I actually had a new release to do today! whaat? you would think on how can I just miss that piece of information when I'm in charge... well, that happens in my world. Days go by and I don't even know which date or day of the week is. And that happened before the pandemic, so imagine now...

Anyway... I have today five new digital stamps. I think it's one of the cutest new releases I have done in a long time. I usually release new digital stamps quite often. Like twice a month or surely once a month. Now with the MerMay that I'm doing, I release one digital stamp of a mermaid every day for the whole month of May. That's 31 new digital stamps in a month!

Ok, ok... I already went overboard with my thinking. So for this new release I have two digital stamp sets. One is the Happy Grapes, which is just so fun! I see a lot of possibilities with this set. I added a couple of envelopes, a flashlight, a heart and a cupcake (yes, that's a cupcake, not a mushroom like my daughter thinks) because I'm sure you can use them for something haha. 

Little Twin Peas

The second digital stamp set are these cute little twin peas!! They are perfect for new baby twins and the set comes with the three possibilities. Two boys, two girls and a boy and a girl. Just the little bows will help you to decide ;). Also, I added a garland because when you have babies or someone else have them it's a great reason to celebrate. 

Jumping in the Water

Summer is going to be here soon and hopefully will be able to enjoy the swimming pools as this girl jumping in the water is doing. I had this sketch for a long long time ago and I never got to ink it because I thought there was something missing. Well, I fixed the think that I didn't like, which basically was that you couldn't see the bathing suit at all, hahaha. Oh well... that's a good thing of having the sketches sitting for a year or two. When you come back you see what's missing.

Mouse Playing Piano

The next couple of digital stamps are just adorable. Every time that my husband says "I need a card" I end up having to make the illustrations for that card because they usually have to be super specific. This was for a card I made last year I think, so they are in my possession for a very long time. I just was very attached to them. I think it was in January when I did a giveaway in my Facebook group and I asked about favorite music. It turned out that a lot of people liked classic music and some of them even played the piano and the flute. So I thought that maybe was time to get these musical mice out there (it still took me 4 months to be "detached" enough...). 

Mouse Playing the Flute

So this is the story about the digital stamps. Sometimes I just draw what I feel, others what somebody asks, others it's just something that happened to me or to someone I know... 

I hope the new release bring you some smiles and that you have time to check them out, either in my website or in Etsy. Also, don't forget that I have a new mermaid today, and that one is just so cute!!! Problem is... I didn't have time yet to post it for sale, but chances are, that if you are reading this a little a few hours later than posted, it's already for sale (super cute, just saying, I just have to finish the extra touches). 

Have a great rest of the day and I hope you are staying healthy and safe.

Hugs,

Patricia

Birthday Wishes with a Cupcake House | Promarkers Color Chart

Birthday card using Cupcake House digital stamp

Hello!

I hope you are doing well and you are your families are staying safe and healthy.

Today I bring you a cute and colorful project made by Sue. Sue decided to use my Cupcake House digital stamp for a birthday card. I think that was a terrific idea! She used Promarkers to color it and I love how she did the frosting in yellow. 

The colors yellow and purple go great together and she finished the card with some butterfly die cuts and a little birthday wishes tag.

Here is the list of colors that she used. Feel free to pin it and use it for later.

Mother's Day Card with Whales Digital Stamp | Handmade Watercolor Card

Mother's Day Card using Whales digital stamp

Hello friends,

This year, with everything that's going on, Mother's day, birthdays, Father's day... every single holiday will be different. That doesn't mean that we can't share our love with a card, a telephone call, an email... Just be there for the people you really care, even if it is in the distance.

Soon it's going to be Mother's Day and I thought of showing you this cute card that Deepti made last year. Isn't it precious? 

She is using one Whales digital stamp, which represents a mother whale and her calf. I think the watercolored background in green and blue is fantastic and the little read heart die cuts are perfect to add a pop of color.

This is all for today. Be safe.

Hugs,

Patricia

Birthday Card with a Baby Seal Digital Stamp | Handmade Birthday Card

Card made by Beata using Baby Seal digital stamp

Hello!

today I bring you a very cute card made by Beata using one of the sweetest digital stamps I have. I love drawing animals and the baby seal was just waiting to be inked for along time.

She colored the image with Copic markers and use it as a primary focus on the card. The blue scalloped frame that she die cut is perfect to go with the blue ice and water.

This digital stamp has the images separately so you can use the seal and the ice separately or together. I think this image will be great for baby cards too. 

I hope you have a great weekend!

Hugs

A Monstrous New Release | Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez

DragonFox Digital Stamp

Hello!

I hope you are having a great day! I have been busy creating a little bit of this and a little bit of that. So busy with everything I hardly have time for much anymore. Well, I added a new release of 5 kinda cute monsters digital stamps. They are kinda weird but kinda cute. I don't know. I like them! What do you think?

I have a dragon with a fox tail (the fox theme was a hit that day) and goat horns? I guess you can still call it a dragon and not a monster but it's not like the average dragon either. 

Elefox Digital Stamp

I draw this one sitting at the kitchen table with my kids. They find them very cute, although they told me how to make them, I guess these are the "perfect" monsters for kids!

For this one I have a mix between a fox, a unicorn, a seal and an elephant. And the result is not as ugly as you could expected it! Who knew!

Brocowi Monster Digital Stamp

Then I have a "chicken" with fox tail and bear hears and dog face? I don't know... but he likes broccoli! Do you see how he's thinking about eating it? Maybe this little monster will help your kid to eat vegetables haha. 

Pegasus-Giraffe Digital Stamp

Something really cute and weird is a mix between a pegasus and a giraffe with chicken feathers in his head and socks.Why socks? Because why not? He shouldn't go barefoot and boots are uncomfortable for him!

Squormy  Wormy Digital Stamp

And this last one is "Squormy Wormy". As you can guess, I didn't name some of these monsters. I don't have such imagination. I think the one I named was the Pegasus-giraffe, because nobody told me different haha. I'm quite literal. But I like the name of Elefox and Squormy Wormy a lot. What can I say about Squormy wormy... he is a mix between a worm and a centipede and a fish. And the nose... oh well... you pick, it was super weird without it! 

I hope you like the new release. I think they will look great in cards for kids. They are monsters but they are not scary, and they are somehow weird. 

What's your favorite?

Have a great rest of the day!

Hugs,

Patricia

Coloring in Kraft Cardstock | Prismacolor Coloring Chart

Boy and Monster Clear Stamp Set colored with pencils

Hello!

I'm back! I decided to continue properly with the blog instead of having it just there or just posting photos. I'll try to post from time to time, sharing things that are new, things that are "old", things that I think are interesting or maybe not so much. The thing is... I'll try to be more present in the blog world so you can keep enjoying the Kinda Cute projects that me and my team make.

Today I'm showing you a coloring I made a while ago using Prismacolor pencils in kraft cardstock. I stamped Boy and Monster using Memento desert sand for a no line coloring. The funny thing is that I had to do it several times because the ink, being so light, in this kind of cardstock fade really fast, so if you do it, try to stamp several times in the same place. The best is to use a stamping tool that lets you do that.

I colored, as I said before, with Prismacolor pencils. It's very satisfying to color with pencils in kraft cardstock because it seems that you would never get vibrant colors but since the paper already has a tone, the colors really pop a lot. The photo doesn't do the coloring justice. The yellow is just fantastic!

Here is the colors I used. I don't write the colors I use in all my colorings but since I don't usually color with pencils I thought it might be of high interest;). I hope it's helpful. Click in the photo to see it properly, for any reason it's blurry :(.

I hope you liked this re-first post!! I'll try to post again soon. I have so many things to show you!!
