Lil' Inker Designs Release Hop {Day 2}

 
Welcome to Day 2 of the new release from Lil' Inker Designs and this month we are celebrating the holidays!!  These new goodies will SURE make it easy to whip up some cards for your loved ones! 
 
You should have arrived here from the amazing Alyssa Scritchfield......if not, please start back at the beginning over on the Lil' Inker Designs blog! 
 
 
Today I'm sharing a new word die:  Joy.  Word dies are so versatile.  Here I've actually die cut the 'Joy' word into the top border of the bottom piece of dotted paper.  Then I die cut a second Joy word and coated it with Martha Stewart Coarse Glitter and then inlaid the die cut word back....kind of like a puzzle.

    The coarse glitter on 'joy' looks terrific - a nice way to add some postage-friendly texture and dimension, right? Such a pretty script too... lovely card Amy!

    Love the polka dots! What really caught my eye was that little detail of how you had cut out the patterned paper for the "o" & "y" in the joy die.
