Lil' Inker Designs January Release Day #2

It's day two of the Lil' Inker Designs New Release Hop and I get to share even more fun goodies with you today!  I'm sure you've already been eyeing all the awesome new items, lucky for you, you can get it all right now in the Lil' Inker Store.  Hopefully, you checked out all of Amy's blog amazing creations before hopping here.  If not, make sure you check it out and if you get lost along the hop you can always find your spot by going to the Lil' Inker Blog.  For now, I'm ready to show off some more fun stuff!

I couldn't wait to share this card with you guys because I love the Perfect Palette Heart Die.  It is so cute and pairs so well with the Heartthrob Stamps.

I cut the Perfect Palette Heart Die from so many different colors and was just having fun playing with it but when I cut it from kraft card stock, I was hooked.  I layered this cut on some white card stock and started stamping some hearts from through the openings with the Heartthrob Stamps.  I just love the options with this stamp set!  So many fun combos.  I added a few of the stitched hearts back to the card front with some foam tape.  My sentiment was simple and stamped using the lovely sentiments in the Heartthrob Stamps on white strips.  A couple enamel heats finish off the card.  Here's a closer look:

My next card uses the adorable Bear Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle, a heart from the Perfect Palette Heart Die, and the previously release Fringe Scalloped Border Builder Die Set and Fringed Scalloped Rectangles Dies.

In case you didn't know it, I'm a sucker for all of the Hugger Dies.  They are SO cute and SO versatile.  I started this card by cutting out my Bear Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle from kraft and stamping his cute little face on.  I wanted this guy to be the center of attention so I cut a white Fringed Scalloped Rectangles to frame him.  It looked a little plain so I used the stomach sentiment from the Bear Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle to stamp circles as a background.  The next sized rectangle wasn't quite the right size for what I wanted so I grabbed the Fringe Scalloped Border Builder Die Set to create the exact size pink heart layer with the same border as my rectangle.  Love how it ended up looking side by side.  I layered all of this on a kraft card base and gave my bear a sweet stitched heart from the Perfect Palette Heart Die to hold (told you I cut it in a ton of colors!).  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for looking at my project today!  Thanks for checking me out and don't forget about our giveaway!

CTS #195

Good morning everyone!  I hope you are having a great week so far.  I had a wonderful weekend packed with crafting, shopping, and amazing times with some amazing ladies!  I wouldn't trade our time at the Craft House for the world.  Every time I get to attend a Stamping Away weekend, I leave with a big smile on my face that just won't go away.  There is nothing like hanging out with so many fun and talented women to get your crafty mojo going.  I feel so lucky to get to attend and so thankful that Amy and Laurie put so much of their time and effort into ensuring we have a great time.  Just look at all these happy faces (and Jill's happy forehead, he he).

What a great time!  You can have a great time this week by playing along with our sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.  Here's my take on the sketch:

I started my card this week by choosing patterned papers to layer.  I loved this floral with the polkadot but to ensure you see the separation of top and bottom as well as you do in the sketch, I also added a vellum layer.  I cut the floral paper with the Fringe Scalloped Border Builder Die Set and the vellum with a similar shaped Dual Dotted Border Builder Die before layering them on the polkadot paper.  Next, I stamped and cut some flowers using  Fresh Cut Flowers and the Fresh Cut Flowers Dies.  I arranged these on the card front along with a yellow Hello Word Die cut.  A touch of white with my gel pen and some pearls finish the card off nicely.  I hope you like it!

Thanks so much for checking out my card this week and I hope to see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch!  It's a fun challenge and I just know you'll love it!  Here's what I used for my card today:

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 Stephanie'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!

My first project for today features Warm Welcome Stamps, Warm Welcome Dies, Welcome Word Die, and the Fringe Scallop Border Builder Dies.

I started this card with some striped paper that gave me my color inspiration,  I thought it would be super cute to show a solid corner, so I used the Fringe Scallop Border Builder Dies to cut a diagonal for my card base to peek out of.  I seriously love all the Fringe Scallop products.  They add such a fun touch to cards!  Next, I cut the wreath from Warm Welcome Dies out of some orange/brown cardstock and the flowers and banner from a soft cream.  I stamped my flowers, leaves, and banner sentiment using Warm Welcome Stamps.  I added some white accent dots to my stamped images before arranging them and my blue Welcome Word Die to my card front.  Finally, I finished it off with some enamel dots.  I really REALLY love how it all turned out.

Next up, I had tons of fun with the new Coffee Talk Die Set, Coffee Talk Stamp Set, Coffee Word Die, and Dual Dotted Border Builder Dies.

For this card, I wanted to have some fun with layers using the Love You Paper Pack.  I picked 4 fun papers and cut them using the Dual Dotted Border Builder Dies.  After I had them arranged just so, I cut the Coffee Word Die from some of the Mirrored Reflective Specialty Paper which I'll tell you more about below.  I added my word die layered with a vellum Of the Heart Die cut to my card front before creating my fun iced coffee.  I stamped my coffee using the Coffee Talk Stamp Set and colored it with copics before cutting it out with the new Coffee Talk Die Set.  I LOVE having this new die set.  Not only can I make my coffee cozies fun with patterned paper like I did above but I can cut out the straw from fun paper options!  It makes an already awesome set even more fun!  I added a few fun reflective hearts to my card before calling it good. 

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 gives out a $15 Lil' Inker Designs store credit to a lucky commenter each day of the hop.  It could be you.  I'm sure I'll see you on the hop and tomorrow for another fun day of release projects.  See you then!
