Lil' Inker Designs June New 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 amazing creations before hopping here. If not of it 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 uses the Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron, the Whoops Stamp Set, and the Whoops Word Die.

I have no idea what made me think cactus when I saw the new Whoops Stamp Set and Whoops Word Die, but that is exactly where my mind went. What better to pair with a cactus that some cool South West like patterns? I grabbed my trusty Tribal Chic Stamp Set and got to work stamping a border across this piece of stone cardstock cut with Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles. Next, I got to work on my cactus centerpiece using images from the So Prickly Stamp Set. I masked and layered my images and trimmed them out by hand. Next, I got to work on my sentiment. I layered three cuts of the new Whoops Word Die to get some extra dimension and then added strips of words to finish off my sentiment using stamps from both So Prickly and the Whoops Stamp Set. Here's a closer look:

Next up, I used the adorable new I'll Be Brief Stamps and I'll Be Brief Dies to create this fun card:

The adorable little underwear in I'll Be Brief Stamps just screamed background to me. I got to work stamping them on fun papers and cutting them with the I'll Be Brief Dies. I layered my colorful undies on this star paper cut with a die from the Silly Stitched Die Set. I also using one to add some fun to my black card base before adding my panel. I created a border with a shape from Long & Skinny Rectangles and stamped/embossed my sentiment from I'll Be Brief Stamps in the middle. I finished it off with my copic colored croc and a bunch of black enamel dots. Here's a closer look:

I hope you enjoyed my creations and will join the rest of the team on the hop. You'll want to leave comments along the way because Laura is giving away the ENTIRE RELEASE to one lucky commenter. It could be you. I'm sure I'll see you on the hop and tomorrow for another fun day of release projects. See you then!

Lil' Inker Designs June 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 new Jar of Flowers Stamps, Jar of Flowers Dies, and Hi Word Die.

I was playing with the new Jar of Flowers Stamps and got a little crazy stamping and arranging flowers cut with Jar of Flowers Dies around my jar image. I came up with an arrangement I liked, but didn't like all the white space around it so, I grabbed my Dual Dotted Rectangles Dies and cut a frame around my image. Next I found some plaid paper, which I also cut with a Dual Dotted Rectangles Die and layered on a black card front. I wrapped it with a piece of glitter tape that matched my flowers. I finished it all off with a nice bold sentiment created with the Hi Word Die. Here's another peek:

Next up, I just couldn't resist playing with the Jar of Flowers Stamps and Jar of Flowers Dies again. I paired it with the new Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron.

I stamped this image using Jar of Flowers Stamps, Jar of Flowers Dies, and Zig Clean Color pens. I colored various colors on the stamp, added a little water, and smooshed it on my paper. I love the soft look it gave. I cut my image out of the water color paper with a Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles. I layered it on a black piece of paper, trimmed it to leave just a slim border and then rounded the corners to try to match the die cut layer. Then I layered it on a paper that I embossed with the new Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron. I then cut my card with the largest Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles and I love the finished look. Here's a closer look:
