Lil' Inker Designs October 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 Jessica'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 projects today feature the products that are a little more whimsical and fun in my mind.  I started with probably my favorite set, Rustic Christmas stamps and the Rustic Christmas dies.  I just love the sketchy look of these.  Totally gorgeous!

I have been hoarding this gorgeous paper since last Christmas.  I was just waiting for the perfect stamp set to make the most of it and I found that in Rustic Christmas.  It almost looks like they were made for each other.  So, I started with this cute mountain scene and added a Dual Dotted Circle cut from the Super Kids Paper and stamped with the city scene in Rustic Christmas.  Next, I stamped and cut some trees and snowflakes in matching inks using the Rustic Christmas dies.  I cut a Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangle from our Ombre Stripes Paper Pad to stamp with the sentiment and layer with all the trees around the city.  A few sequins for some sparkle and my card was complete.  Here's a closer look:

Next up, something cute and a little snarky.  The Moody Santa Stamps and Moody Santa Dies fit the bill perfectly!  I paired those with a word from the new Brush Script Christmas Word Dies.  They are GORGEOUS!

I started this card with a paper from the Tribal Chic Paper Pack.  I just loved how the colors were Christmasy but not exactly.  I like playing with different colors at Christmas.  Next, I cut this gorgeous snowflake paper with the Silly Stitched Die Set.  I layered this on my card front and added a Stitched Scallop Border using paper from the So Prickly Paper Pack.  I stamped my sentiment from Moody Santa Stamps on a graph pocket scrapbooking card and trimmed it to fit under my border but not over the snowflake layer.  Next I stamped my santa using the fun faces included in the Moody Santa Stamps and cut him out using Moody Santa Dies.  I colored him with copic and added him to my card front.  Next, I added a Brush Script Christmas Word cut in black.  My card felt like it had a little hole in it so I thought about adding presents and the perfect present was in the Party Pachyderms Stamps.  Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs September 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 Angel'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 this fun little project, I went a little batty!  I used the adorable Batty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle, the Halloween Word Tags Dies,  Dotted Tag Dies, and the Ombre Stripes Paper Pack.

I started this fun little project with a tag cut using the Dotted Tag Dies from the Ombre Stripes Paper Pack.  I wanted a little extra fun and to bring the purple from the bucket of eye gumballs to the tag so I used the Halloween Word Tags Dies to add a sentiment and a pop of color to my card.  With that done, I cut out two cute Batty Huggers so I could stick them together giving my bat polka dot wings.  I stamped and embossed his smile and his belly using stamps from the Batty Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle.  Then I felt this guy really needed some googly eyes to go with the eye gumballs I created with a food safe edible marker.  I think it makes a great little gift and look at the pop you get when our bat's wings are opened:  

Next, I created a fun little card using the Spiderweb Greeting Die Set and Lollipop & Pencil Treat Holder Die.

I started with this fun gold stripe paper as my card base and cut the Lollipop & Pencil Treat Holder Die from black and gold paper to add a fun layer before I added my focal point plus it gave me a great place for a bow!  I cut the Spiderweb Greeting Die Set web window from black paper and gold paper so I could layer the sentiments just right.  Then I cut the spider from green glitter paper to add just a bit of color.  I layered my spider and bling on the web window backed with vellum before placing it on my card front.  Here's a closer peek:

 

My final project for this release includes the Pumpkin Flower Greetings Stamps and the Dual Stitched Pumpkin & Grateful Word Die Set.

I wanted to create some fun napkin rings for my Thanksgiving table...yup, planning ahead!  I carefully folded and wrapped my napkins before tying them with ribbon.  Then I got to work on my pumpkins.  I cut each one from a different fall paper using the Dual Stitched Pumpkin.  I stamped the lighter colored pumpkins with various fall colors with the Flower Greetings Stamps.  I colored some in and added glitter to others.  I filled the space on some with sentiments from Flower Greetings Stamps and on others, I used the "Grateful" cut using the Grateful Word Die.  I also used some images from So Thankful Stamps to add a little more interest to some.  Here's a closer look:
