Lil' Inker Designs February 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'm a sucker for cute animals and I just love the new Dog Hugs Stamps and Dog Hugs Dies. I paired these adorable dogs with a sentiment from Sassy Pants Stamps for this card.

I started by stamping the cute pups from Dog Hugs Stamps on some white card stock and cutting them out with the Dog Hugs Dies. I colored bits and pieces of to dogs and added them to this fun heart paper. Next, I added foam to some of the cut paws to make them pop up to hold the little gifts that the stamp and die set also include. These are SO fun and make this set a blast to work with. I struggled a little with where I wanted my sentiment and then I got the idea to use a Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangle at the bottom of the image. I cut a black rectangle and embossed a sentiment from Sassy Pants Stamps on the strip. It is just the right sentiment for my silly card. I added the black strip to my card base first and then added the dogs that were already attached to the heart paper. I had to cut the excess heart paper from the top of the card because I had originally intended to have the dogs at the bottom of the card. Next, I stamped the "yappy" sentiment from Dog Hugs Stamps on a piece of turquoise paper which I cut out and added to a piece of black before adding it to my heart "sky". I felt it needed just a touch more turquoise so I added a strip of glitter tape. Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs February 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!

First off, here's one of my favorite cards that I made using one of my favorite new Cover Up Dies, Mod Circles as well as the Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle with the previously release Perky Posies dies!

I decided to go tone on tone with my Mod Circles die cut so I went with a pretty green/teal color card stock. I just love the detail of this die and I love how it really stands out with a tone on tone look. Next, I cut a Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles that was just perfect for my sentiment from the Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle. I love the Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles as they have SO many uses and I happen to grab for them all the time! I added my sentiment strip to the card front and go to work cutting and layering various Perky Posies dies, adding enamel dots as their centers for a little extra dimension. Yet another of my go to must have products from Lil' Inker. Next, I stamped my "hello" from the Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle in mint with a darker shadow and cut it out popping it up with some foam tape in amongst the posies. I added a little Glossy Accents to the "hello" for a little shine. Here's a closer look:

The next project I have to share uses the Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle and the Sassy Pants Stamps.

This card was super simple but I love the look of it. I started by stamping the "hello" from Snarky Shadow Hello Die & Stamp Bundle in yellow where I wanted to highlight the sentiment. I used the shadow stamp on this image alone in black. Next, I stamped the "hello" repeatedly on the card base in grey to make a background. Next, I stamped a sentiment from Sassy Pants Stamps on a piece of grey card stock and then cut into a thing strip. I added this strip to the card with foam tape. I debated adding a thin strip of yellow to the bottom of the sentiment strip but in the end, I went with just the simple grey. Here's a closer look:
