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 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 awesome Festive Florals Stamps and Festive Florals Dies


I started this card with a kraft card base and a plan to use some nontraditional Christmas colors.  I stamped and embossed my poinsettias from Festive Florals Stamps on a piece of pink cardstock with a black glitter embossing powder.  Next, I stamped, embossed, and cut a poinsettia from a wine cardstock using the Festive Florals Dies.  I trimmed my pink so that it took up a small portion of the lower card and attached it to the card front.  I stamped a sentiment on an off white cardstock with Festive Florals Stamps and layered it over the pink to make a sentiment banner.  I finished the card up by popping my wine colored poinsettia with some foam tape.  Here's another peek:


Since I'm on a floral kick, I'll share what I made with the Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps and Vintage Christmas Wreath Dies.


I searched through my patterned paper stash for a paper that looked a little vintage.  I lucked out and found two sheets of this postcard style paper.  I used the Vintage Christmas Wreath Dies to cut out my wreath from one piece in the same exact spot where I would be placing it on the second sheet.  Then I stamped using Vintage Christmas Wreath Stamps and colored my wreath with copics.  I attached it to the other piece but I felt it needed a little more of the florals so I stamped parts of the wreath in two corners to bring the same look to the cardbase.  Here's a closer look:


I have three cards today and my final card uses the Noel Word Die.


I found this fun star paper and cut coordinating papers with Stitched Mats: Long & Skinny Rectangles to layer across my card to create a great spot for my focal point to land.  I had a gold tree ring cardstock piece that I have been hording so I cut a portion of that out and popped it up with some foam tape before adding the Noel Word Die which is cut from red metallic paper.  I added a fun little Rudolph nose, some twine, and some glitter stars to finish off this card!  Here's another look:
