Happy New Year - Lil' Inker Designs Sale

Good morning and happy New Year!!  I hope you guys all had a wonderful celebration and are diving into 2018 with excitement.  I had a little time to craft yesterday and couldn't wait to share one of my creations with you today.  Turns out, Laura decided to spring an awesome Lil' Inker Designs sale on us too making this the perfect time to share my card with you. 

I must have stamped a million Blossoms Banners and colored the day away.  I had a ton of fun coming up with different color combos and the one I used here turned out to be my favorite.  I then cut my banner out with the Blossoms Banners Dies.  No what to do with these awesome banners?  I wanted to keep whatever I was going to layer these onto simple so I grabbed my new favorite way to add a little design and color to a cardbase, the Modern Mandala Stamps.  I stamped them in a chocolate brown masking as I went to create a fun grouping in the corner of my white card base.  I added my banner with some foam tape for dimension and the card was done.  Here's a close up:

Black Friday Sale At Lil' Inker Designs

Happy Black Friday everyone!!  I hope you get all the amazing deals you are after today or if you are just relaxing at home, like I am, I hope it's the most relaxing day ever.  I wanted to make sure to hop on here today to share some info about the Black Friday sale on the Lil' Inker Store.  I have a couple of cards to share with you today in honor of this awesome sale and I hope you enjoy them!

My first card uses the new Unstoppable Stamps.  I created a fun rainbow background and when it was done, it reminded me of an animal print so I decided to use one of my favorite party animals, an elephant from Party Pachyderms.  I used the Party Pachyderms Die Set to cut him out and fussy cut a balloon to go in his trunk.  I created a border with the Happy Birthday Border Die and added some patterned paper to break up the black.  Here's a closer look:

I also created a card using some more of my favorite older products that will be on sale!  I just love how elegant this card turned out.

I started with this awesome cardstock color and the amazing Stitched Quatrefoil Die.  I love LOVE the pattern this leaves behind!  Next, I colored an adorable birthday banner from Blossoms Banners Stamps and cut it with the Blossoms Banners Dies.  I was going to simply layer it on the card but them I decided to go with some gray stripes first and I love the finished look.  Here's a closer one:

Lil' Inker Designs June Release Day #3

Well, it's the last day of our new release hop at Lil' Inker Designs and I'm super excited to show off these last couple products.  Hopefully, you started out at the the Lil' Inker Blog so you don't miss a stop on the hop and have come here from the amazing Amy's blog.  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!

For today's first card I used Blossoms Banners Stamps, Blossoms Banners Dies, and the Quilted Stitched Basket Weave Die.

I started by stamping an image and sentiment from Blossoms Banners Stamps on white cardstock and coloring it with copics.  I cut out my final image using the Blossoms Banners Dies and got working on my cardbase.  I loved how the colors I chose for the flowers looked on kraft so I created a cardbase by creating a fun background using the Quilted Stitched Basket Weave Die and cutting the card out with a Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangle.  I placed my banner with some foam tape and arranged some clear sequins around the image.  Here's another look of the finished project:

My final card for this release uses the really gorgeous Lovely and Sweet Stamps.

I placed the parts of the Lovely and Sweet Stamps that I wanted to stamp with on my Misti and starting with the lightest color in this ombre, I inked and stamped, inked with the next darker color leaving a portion of the stamp uninked, and restamped until I got this awesome ombre look on the sentiment.   It took a little time but with the Misti, it was easy to get it lined up each time.  I added some white gel pen to spots to ensure the hightlights were crisp.  Then I fussy cut the sentiment out layering it on some papers cut with some Dual Stitched Rectangles.  A bunch of sequins later and you have a fun monochromatic card.  Here's another look:

I hope you enjoyed my creations and will join the rest of the team on the hop.  You'll want to leave comments along the way because Laura is giving away the ENTIRE NEW RELEASE to a lucky commenter during the new release hop.  You have until June 18th at 11:30PM EST to comment.  The winner could be you.  I hope you enjoyed our new release!  We love sharing these awesome products with you!  Be sure to keep hopping, here's the list:
