Lil' Inker Designs April 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 Caly'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!

My first card for today uses the Best Mom Stamps in unique way as well as the Have A Nice Day Stamp Set and the previously released Unstoppable Stamps.


I know I have already told you how much I love the leaf/petal design in the Best Mom Stamps.  Still, I couldn't resist using it one more time to create a fun background for the Have A Nice Day Stamp Set.  I stamped it repeatedly in yellow to make a cheerful landing spot for Have A Nice Day Stamp Set which I stamped in black and highlighted with turquoise Nuvo drops.  I cut this layer our with a square from the Silly Stitched Squares Dies.  I created my cardbase using white cards stock, black ink, and a stamp from Unstoppable Stamps.  I just can't resist a bit of black.  I added a border to my card base with the large rectangle from the Silly Stitched Die Set.  When I got everything layered, I wanted a little more of the turquoise color so I added some glitter tape.  Here's a closer look:


My next card uses the Spring Wreath Die Set and the Hand Drawn Happiness Set.


This card was super simple!  I started by blotching some purple watercolor on a piece of watercolor paper.  I then cut my first wreath from this paper using the Spring Wreath Die Set.  I used that as a guide for how big to watercolor my circle on my card front using the same purple but washed out a little more.  Once, I had my watercolor circle, I stamped my sentiment from Hand Drawn Happiness in the center.  I added my water colored wreath around the sentiment and then cut another from gold as well as some of the cute flowers from the Spring Wreath Die Set.  I cut my gold wreath up and tucked these "branches" in my first wreath before added the flowers with foam tape.  To complete the card, I added drips of purple watercolor here and there.  Here's a closer peek:


My final card for today also uses Hand Drawn Happiness as well as the fun Shaker Tag Die Set and super cool Cover Up Die:  Dotted Chevrons.


I started this card by creating the background.  I cut the Cover Up Die:  Dotted Chevrons from turquoise card stock and then cut variouse colors of paper to show through the holes of the die (pink,black, white, & gold).  I trimmed this down and layered it on a black card base.  Next, I got to work on my shaker.  I cut the Shaker Tag Die Set in the same pink I used for the background and then added acetate for my window cut with the same Shaker Tag Die Set.  Next, I cut a solid image with no window for the base of my shaker and stamped a sentiment from Hand Drawn Happiness in the center in black.  I outlined the outer edges with foam tape and put in some sequins before added the top layer to the base.  I shook it around for good measure and added it to my card front.  Here you can see it a little better:

Lil' Inker Designs April 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 our new design team member Caly's blog and if not, you won't want to miss her amazing creations!  We are super excited to have her with us!  So make sure you didn't miss anyone and start at the Lil' Inker Blog.  Now for the fun!

My first card uses probably one of my favorite stamp sets EVER, Brushed Plaid Stamps.  Oh my, I love every thing about this set and I will be using it a ton.  You won't want to miss out on it.  My card also features the equally cool Best Mom Stamps, and Best Mom Dies.


I started by stamping this amazing plaid background image from Brushed Plaid Stamps in a stark black on a white card base.  In case you didn't know, I'm a sucker for black and white and I love how black makes colors pop.  This is a great way to add a punch of black when I would usually have to track down the lone remaining black and white patterned paper in my stash (they are always the first to go).  I was super happy with how awesome the plaid looked on an angle and it almost looked like I layered paper to make this happen.  Next, I got to work on my florals.  I couldn't wait to play with that amazing large flower in the Best Mom Stamps.  I think it is so awesome that the same stamp can be used for petals and then flipped for leaves...brilliant!  I cut out my large flower with the Best Mom Dies and got to work stamping the petals in a bright coral.  Next, I stamped and cut my leaves in two shades of green and another flower from Best Mom Stamps in a mustard.  I couldn't decide exactly what to do with the center of my large flower but those dots got the better of me.  I added a bit of glossy accents to them for some shine.  Once I had all my flowers arranged and placed with adhesive and foam tape, I embossed a sentiment from Best Mom Stamps in gold on vellum and then cut it like a little tab to attach beneath the large flower but the sort of flap there only being attached at one point. I really liked this little bit of added dimension.  I added some little filler stamps and enamel dots and the card was done.  Here's a closer look:


My next card uses some other pieces of the Brushed Plaid Stamps and the new Hello Word Die Set.


I really love all the brushed elements in the Brushed Plaid Stamps and I wanted to create a very clean card with the stripes.  So, I stamped them in a bold black with the "How are you?" sentiment beneath. Next, I cut the Hello Word Die Set from some fun paper that faded from one color to another multiple times to make it thick like chipboard when I glues all the cuts together.  I love that it added dimension but now enough to make it hard to mail.  I can't wait to play with the Hello Word Die Set more.  Especially with the framing layer.  It's going to be a blast!  Here's a closer look:
