Lil' Inker Designs April Release Day #1

Hi, you guys!  It's day one of the Lil' Inker Designs New Release Blog Hop and I'm super excited to share all the new products with you!  I think you are really going to enjoy this release and all the new inspiration from our team.  It's packed with fun, as always and, lucky for you, all the new products are available right now at the Lil' Inker Store!  We have an amazing blog hop for you today so, hopefully, you are coming from Amy's blog and if not, you won't want to miss her amazing creations or anyone's for that matter!  So make sure you didn't miss anyone and start at the Lil' Inker Blog.  Now for the fun!

You are going to love the little owls in the new Hootie Patootie Stamps and the coordinating Hootie Patootie Dies.  They are totally adorable and paired with the new Silly Stitched Squares Dies, it's pa match made in heaven!   

I started this card by stamping my owls from Hootie Patootie Stamps and coloring them with copics. I wanted my sweet owls to look like they were peeking out of a tree so I went with some layering to get that look.  I started with an olive card base and added some stitching using the Silly Stitched Die Set because I knew I wanted the focal layer to be cut using the new Silly Stitched Squares Dies.  I used kraft cardstock for this layer and added a circle of stitching using Silly Stitched Die Set and I trimmed out the center to allow my owls to peek through.  Next, I layered three navy cuts of Thanks Word Die and a sentiment from Hootie Patootie Stamps.  A little enamel heart added just the right finishing touch.  Here's another peek:

Next up, I just couldn't resist playing with the Hootie Patootie Stamps and the coordinating Hootie Patootie Dies again!  I paired them with the tag from the new Silly Stitched Squares Dies, and made a quick little get well tag for someone who's feeling under weather.

I just love this little guy with his umbrella!  I cut my tag from kraft paper using Silly Stitched Squares Dies and stamped it with raindrops from Hootie Patootie Stamps.  Next, I stamped and cut my owl using Hootie Patootie Dies and then colored him in with some copics.  I stamped a sentiment from Hootie Patootie Stamps on vellum and wrapped it around the tag before adding my owl with a bit of foam tape.  Here's a closer look:
