Lil' Inker Designs September Release Hop 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 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 card uses the new Thankful Thoughts Stamps, Thankful Thoughts Dies and Thankful Word Die.  


I had tons of fun with this card and the gorgeous Thankful products this month.  I started by cutting this fun square grapevine wreath from the Thankful Thoughts Dies out of brown cardstock.  I stamped some flowers from the Thankful Thoughts Stamps and then cut them, the banner, and some leaves out of colored card stock.  I got them all layered but I felt like they needed a little extra dimension so before attaching them I used my copic markers to shade here and there making all the elements really pop and almost look water colored.  Whoa!  I layered my completed wreath on some white wood grain paper, layered on some pink, and finally a striped paper.  To finish off my sentiment I cut my final piece of this card using the Thankful Word Die from black card stock.  I layered several cuts to give it a little bump up.  Here's another peek:


Sticking with the stripes, I decided to share this card that I created using A Haunting We Will Go Stamps and A Haunting We Will Go Dies.


I created the background of this card by spelling out "candy" in candy corn colors using the Pretty Painted Alphabet Stamps.  I cut that using Dual Stitched Rectangle and layered id with some orange and black onto another piece of striped black and white paper cut with a Dual Stitched Rectangle.  I created a fun stripe for my sentiment using some more layers, black cut using the Stitched Scallop Border Die and then some striped paper layered on that with a touch of stitching at the top.  I attached my sentiment stamped vellum created using A Haunting We Will Go Stamps to this scalloped layer.  I decided to add some of the candies from the A Haunting We Will Go Stamps and to make it stand out a bit, I colored some areas black.  Finally, I colored and cut my little witchy mouse using the A Haunting We Will Go Dies and then attached her to the front.  A sparkling enamel star finishes off the mouses hat!  Here's a closer look:
