Lil' Inker Designs July Blog Hop {Day 1}

Today is such a sunshiny day!  That's because it's time for an awesome release from
This month Laura is featuring some great new designs for all those summery and sunshiny days!
You should have arrived here from the Lil' Inker Designs Blog to start the hop.


I wanted to share my card to show you that now the little picture is complete......we now have SUNS!!!  Oh yes, and they have the SIGNATURE perforations Laura is so well known for!  I think you will agree that these are a must have because they give just that extra little touch!

I've paired the Sun die up with the previously released Rainbows and Clouds dies.  I've diecut 2 suns, layered them, and flipped up some of the rays for dimension.  A crochet threaded button tops it off.  My clouds are diecut from the Shimmer paper from PTI.  You may remember a certain card from a few weeks ago that got some attention and I used that same paper here.  :)  My sentiment is one of a bunch of new ones releasing to go with the Sun dies! 

Here is a close-up photo to show just the amount of dimension and texture there are to these new dies!

We are releasing the Sun dies as a set (2 dies and sentiments), the dies together, or the dies separate.  This way you can decide to get what you would use but let me tell you that I KNOW you will use them all!  hehe

Remember, there are prizes up for grabs so comment away!
