If you are feeling a little lost, make sure you hop back to the Lil' Inker Blog to get back on the trail of fun. You can also check out the Lil' Inker Store where all of the new release goodies, and a whole lot more, are ready and waiting for you to put in your cart!

My first card uses the super cool Love & Honey Stamps and the Love & Honey Hearts Dies.

I love the flowers in this awesome set and I knew I wanted to make a background with it. So, I used the solid floral heart from Love & Honey Stamps to create a black and white background. Then I added a black strip across the card embossed with a pink "love" from the stamp set. Then I added a white strip stamped with the hearts and win from the Love Is Love Stamps. Next, I stamped and cut the same image using the Love & Honey Hearts Dies. I colored them with bright colors to really pop with the black and white. I added this to my card front with foam tape. Here's a closer look:

My next project uses the the Love You More Than Words Script Heart Die.

This card couldn't have been more easy and it actually came about by accident. I was going to cut the Love You More Than Words Script Heart Die from white cardstock for a different idea I had in mind. Without paying attention, I put a folded card through with the die rather than a single piece of cardstock. The result was the cut layer clinging to the uncut bottom layer. I loved how it looked but wanted more contrast than white on white so I repeated that idea with two shades of gray. I did add some glue here and there to make sure it stays stuck but it took some prying in parts to get the layers apart. I toyed with the idea of just going with that as my card but I wanted to see how it would look if I fussy cut around the words. I gave it a go and I loved the end result. I wanted to keeps the rest of the card simple so I just used a stone card base and added a layered strip to ground everything. Foam tape did the dimensional layering for me and it was good to go. Here's a closer look:

My final card today uses the Galentine's Day Stamps.

I just loved this little tote back and was going to create an entire card background with them stamped and colored in different ways. Instead, I stamped the totes from Galentine's Day Stamps and colored them before trimming them into a border I layered with coordinating card stocks. I added this to a stone base but I thought it still needed some so I trimmed off some edges and added it to a black card front. Then, I colored and glossy accented a tote to add with my sentiment banners and some enamel hearts. Here's a closer look:
