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 amazing creations before hopping here.  If not of it 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!

Today I decided to show you what I created with the Forever Heart Die Layer I and Forever Heart Die Layer II.

I just love how these new dies work.  I love that they work together or separately giving you so many options!  For this card I decided to create by background using Forever Heart Die Layer I and Forever Heart Die Layer II together.  I used black and then layered that onto a kraft card base.  Next, I cut parts of my sentiment from white card stock using Valentine's Word Tags Dies and the forever from Forever Heart Die Layer I.  Then I cut a heart from the Love You More Balloons & Hearts Die Set and the "you" portion of my sentiment from Mini Envelopes Dies & Accessories both using pink card stock.  Then, I layered everything up and I loved the finished look of it.  Here's another peek:

My next card uses Forever Heart Die Layer II alone and paired with Farm Love Stamps and Farm Love Dies.

This time I used the Forever Heart Die Layer II on some watercolor paper.  I masked off the heart portion and stamped a fun pattern on the background using the Unstoppable Stamps.  Then I did a little messy water coloring inside the heart.  Then I got to work coloring the cute little group of animals I had stamped with Farm Love Stamps.  When I had them all colored, I cut them out with the Farm Love Dies and grouped them on my card with a vellum banner I had stamped with my sentiments from Farm Love Stamps.  Here's a closer look:

It's a Lil' Inker Designs Sneaky Mini Release!

Can you believe that Laura was sneaky enough to release some amazing products without having a full blown release?  She must have known that you guys would NOT want to wait for this stuff.  You can find it all over at the Lil' Inker Store.  Goodness!  I haven't even showed you what you'll find over there!  Ha ha!  Check it out:

First up the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles.  There are 4 sizes of dies in this set:

Largest die cuts an exact A2 stitched rectangle at 4.25" x 5.50" (this die does not feature dual stitching and cuts a stitched rectangle only)

Three additional, Dual Stitched Rectangles die sizes are:
 3 7/16" x 4 5/8", 2 1/2" x 3 5/8", 1 1/2" x 2 13/16"

You can read even more about it over at the Lil' Inker Blog.

Next, Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares!  Here's a little info on sizes that come in this set.  More info can be found on the Lil' Inker Blog.

Largest die cuts a stitched square exactly 4.25" x 4.25" (this die does not feature dual stitching and cuts a stitched square only) 

Three additional, Dual Stitched Squares die sizes are: 3 7/16", 2 1/2", 1 9/16"

Finally, wire cutting pliers.  These things are awesome and make separating dies SO much easier!

Now I can share with you what I made using these new goodies!

 
For this card, I used the largest Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles to create my card front and then cut the second largest Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles out of my card front at an angle.  I then pieced back in another rectangle that I cut from a different paper.  I cut my cute coffee cup using the Coffee Cozy Die Set.  I stamped "Let's Chat" from the Coffee Cozy Stamps on the coffee cozy and added "hey" from Hey, Foxy Word Dies to finish off my sentiment.  A few hearts and I was finished.  LOVE! 

I decided to go with a 6" x 6" card when using the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares because this pattern paper just screamed square to me.  I used two different square dies to make my layered center by creating a window with one die and a diamond with the other.  I stamped a sentiment from Balloon Builders Stamps on a strip of vellum which I wrapped around the card and added "Sending you" using the Mini Envelopes Dies & Accessories to add a little more to the sentiment and make it all pop.

I hope you enjoyed this mini release and my cards!  Here's a rundown of the products I used today.  Have a great day!
