Lil' Inker Designs March Release Day #3

Well, it's the last day of our new release hop at Lil' Inker Designs and I'm super excited to show off these last couple products.  Hopefully, you started out at the the Lil' Inker Blog so you don't miss a stop on the hop and have come here from the amazing Amy's blog.  If you are feeling a little lost, make sure you hop back to the Lil' Inker Blog to get back on the trail of fun.  You can also check out the Lil' Inker Store where all of the new release goodies, and a whole lot more, are ready and waiting for you to put in your cart!

My first project uses the super cool Carrot Treat Holder Die and the Charm Tags Dies.

I had SO much fun with this Carrot Treat Holder Die!  I used an old acetate package for cards to cut my treat holder so that I could see the content inside.  It worked SO well and cut so nicely.  I was thrilled.  I topped it with some fun ribbon and a tag I made using the Charm Tags Dies.  Since I didn't go with carrot colors for the holder, I used them on the tag and stamped it with a sentiment from Happy Bunny Stamps, which I'll be using on my next project!  Here's a closer look:

My final project uses the the Happy Bunny Stamps and the Happy Bunny Border Die Set.

This card was totally inspired by my favorite easter candy...Peeps!!  I cut one strip of pink bunnies with the Happy Bunny Border Die Set and one strip of yellow and then did some trimming and layering to get this fun border of smiley bunnies only smiling because of the adorable Happy Bunny Stamps that make up their faces and accessories.  I layered this fun border on a piece of paper I stamped with a sentiment also found in the Happy Bunny Stamps.  Next, I added some dotted paper and a vellum Stitched Scallop Border Die topped with glitter.  Here's a closer look:

Lil' Inker Designs March 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 is one you've seen around a bit.  Ha ha!  It uses the AMAZINGLY cool Cover Up Die: Easter Egg Pop Up as well as the cutest little critters from the Easter Parade Stamps and Easter Parade Dies.

As soon as I made the first cut with the Cover Up Die: Easter Egg Pop Up, I knew it was love and I knew I wanted to peek some color out from under those cute eggs.  Lucky for me, my mom had just sent me half of the coolest paper ever and it was so bright and fun that it was perfect under the eggs that I bent up slightly to expose the paper beneath.  I love that the Cover Up Die: Easter Egg Pop Up gives so many options for fun.  Pop the eggs up, one side or both, leave them flat, do a little of both...SO FUN!  Here's a good look at the color under my eggs:

After I finished oooing and ahhhing at this fun background of eggs, I got to work cutting my little Easter Parade Stamps with the Easter Parade Dies and coloring them before adding them to the "road" I created with some glitter tape and a cut using the Stitched Scallop Border Die.  Here's another peek:

I had a little extra of the fun springy paper left and decided that the Peek-A-Boo Bunny Die needed a fun floral crown for my next card!

I started this card by cutting the adorable Peek-A-Boo Bunny Die from some watercolor paper.  I used some light pink watercolor pens to create some shading for her lovely little face which I cut from black card stock.  I thought she needed a little extra spring so I grabbed some paper scraps and used the Perky Posies Die Set to create a crown of flowers.  I thought the clear sequins made for a wonderful shine and perfect flower centers.  I finished my card off by mounting her on a background painted with black watercolor stripes and a stamped greeting that you can find in the Easter Parade Stamps.  Here's a closer look:

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:
