Lil' Inker Designs June 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! Make sure you didn't miss anyone and start at the Lil' Inker Blog. Now for the fun!

Here's one of my favorite cards that I made using the super cute and fun Cake Party Stamps, Cake Party Dies, Quilted Stitched Stepping Stone Die, and the previously released Instant Camera Die.
 

I started this card with the background. I wanted to have a rainbowish look so I cut strips of this fun paper and layered it on the background. Next, I started making my shaker by cutting the Instant Camera Die from gray card stock and adding a little texture with the Quilted Stitched Stepping Stone Die. I added my foam and filled my shaker with some fun coordinating elements before closing the back with a piece of light pink paper stamped with a sentiment from Cake Party Stamps. I positioned my shaker on the card front and got to work on my animals from Cake Party Stamps and cut with Cake Party Dies. When I got them all colored and added to the card, I finished it all off with a sentiment from Cake Party Stamps on a banner I hand cut and added an enamel heart for extra fun. Here's a closer look:

My second card for today sticks to the birthday theme and features the new Happy Birthday To You Word Die and Dual Dotted Circles released prior to today.

Again, this card started with the paper. I loved the hearts and I wanted to show off the Happy Birthday To You Word Die in a very simple design. So, I cut it from some gray card stock, and layered it on a Dual Dotted Circles cut from vellum so it wouldn't block too much of the background paper. I popped the Happy Birthday To You Word Die with some foam and added some highlights with a white gel pen. I ended up trimming it just a tad to get a small border of the gray card base. Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs October 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 Caly'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!

My first card on this final day uses Blossoms & Banners Autumn Stamps, Blossoms & Banners Autumn Dies, and Cover Up Die: Diagonal Plaid.

I started this card by embossing an image from Blossoms & Banners Autumn Stamps in gold on some kraft cardstock.  I liked how it looked, especially after I colored it lightly with some copics.  So, I cut it out using the Blossoms & Banners Autumn Dies but I wanted a little more with a twist so I stamped the image again with black and colored it in before flipping it and tucking it behind the gold embossed image.  A little foam tape gave it some extra dimension.  Next, I went about building the background.  I started with one of my favorite ways to add texture, the Cover Up Die: Stitched Woodgrain.  I decided that the Cover Up Die: Diagonal Plaid should be set on the diagonal and cover just a portion of the card.  It added such a fun look!  then to bring in the black, I added a strip of black with a touch of rose gold.  Some sequins finished it off just like the fun fall leaves!  Here's a closer look:

My final card uses the new Peace On Earth Word Die, a touch of the Classic Christmas Stamps, and has a little plaid thing going on too!

When I was coloring the images from Classic Christmas Stamps, I just couldn't help cut color all of them.  Well, then I just had to use them!  So, I made another card with a little more modern twist.  I started with some plaid and layered two cuts of the Dual Dotted Circles Dies in different colors.  Then I added the gorgeous Peace On Earth Word Die in bright white which I coated in glossy accents.  A simple bit of Classic Christmas, was just the right touch.  Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs June 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 Caly's blog and if not, you won't want to miss her amazing creations!  Make sure you didn't miss anyone and start at the Lil' Inker Blog.  Now for the fun!

This first card uses the coolest new Cover Up Die called Perfectly Plaid.  All it takes is a flip of the cut and you have an awesome offset plaid design.  LOVE!  I have paired it here with the Baby Onesie Shaker Die Set, and the Little Ones Stamp Set.

I created this cool background on a navy card base using a white and yellow cut of the Perfectly Plaid cover up die.  I flipped on over and attached it to the other to get this fun plaid look.  Next, I created a shaker with some navy paper and yellow patterned paper using the adorable new Baby Onesie Shaker Die Set.  This is such a fun item to have for all your new baby needs.  I created a tag for my sentiment from Little Ones Stamp Set using the Dual Stitched Rectangles.  Here's a closer look:

My next card also uses the Cover Up Die: Perfectly Plaid.  I paired it with the super cool Coffee Talk 2 Die Set and Coffee Talk 2 Stamps.

How much do I love coffee?  A TON!!  I was so excited to use the cool Cover Up Die: Perfectly Plaid to make my buffalo plaidish coffee mug using the new Coffee Talk 2 Die Set.  I simply attached my plaid cut to some black card stock and then cut my mug from my newly created patterned paper.  I filled in my coffee with some brown heart paper and added my steam.  This cut was so cute, it needed a frame.  I created one using the Dual Dotted Squares Dies and Dual Dotted Circles.  I added some polka dot vellum behind the frame and layered it on a kraft card base.  It needed a little more red so I added strips of red card stock at the top and bottom and made sure to stamp the sentiment from Coffee Talk 2 Stamps in a nice bright red.  A silver spoon finished it all off perfectly.  Looks cozy to me...what do you think? 

I'm so glad you stopped by today.  Thanks for checking me out and don't forget about our giveaway!
