When you can’t give an “in person” hug, a paper hug is the next best thing. And, these koalas know just how to do it!

Koalas Hugging

I began with a card base of Smoky Slate, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and embossed it with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. After embossing, I layered it on Basic Gray Cardstock 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border, and attached the glued layers to the card base with Dimensionals.

Next, I stamped the koalas, from the Count On Me Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut them free, and colored them with a light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend.

We found the perfect sentiment in the Through It Together Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and used the smallest layering Circles Die for cutting. The koalas were concerned about having a place to sit, so I left some same at the top of the circle.

The koalas wanted a cheery background, and chose a bright pink. The larger rectangle was created by stamping a Sponge Dauber in Magenta Madness Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cutting with a Stitched Rectangles Die, 1 3/4″ X 3 1/4″, approximately. The smaller rectangle was cut from 6X6 Designer Paper with a Stitched Rectangles Die, 1 3/4″ X 1/4″, approximately. The current 6X6 patterns of designer paper are in my Product List.

After gluing the rectangles in place, I attached the koalas and sentiment with Dimensionals, and today’s card was complete.

I was inspired by Fusion.
