Lil' Inker Designs {January Release} Day 2

 

 

 

Welcome back to the Lil' Inker Designs January Release!  You should have arrived from Alyssa's blog but if not, please start back at the beginning at the Lil' Inker Designs blog!

So we heard you were pretty excited about yesterday's products so let's see how you like todays!!

 

Today we are sharing the new Mini Party Die Set.  So I focused on all the mini balloons in this set!  Some of these are the same size as the original balloon dies but it's awesome to have doubles of some....makes for much easier die cutting!

 

I went with a baby card and pastels here, layering both stamped images and stamped die cuts at varying heights.  Love how it turned out!  The sentiment banner is the double ended banner from Flags and Tags.  It was die cut similar to yesterday's banner (photo can be found on THIS post).

 

I hope you aren't getting tired of me using these stitched frames!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!

 

***This project is out for publication!!!***

 

 

 

 

 Now we need you to hop around because there are a couple of $10 credits up for grabs this release!

I so hope you enjoy the Lil' Inker Designs blog hop......your next stop is Debby Hughes!

See you back here tomorrow for the last day!

12 Kits of Christmas {June Kit}

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  It's that time again for my 12 Kits of Christmas post!

This month was MY month to be hostess and I sent some of my most favorite holiday diecuts and papers to the group.  Most of the goodies were from Lil' Inker Designs and so I sent a little of everything.  I think you will be VERY inspired by this month's group posts!

I made this card earlier this week and finally wanted to share.

It's simple and elegant.

I absolutely LOVE, did I say LOVE?  Yes, this new texture plate from Lil' Inker Designs.

I used the texture plate on a white card base. 
I then diecut the Kaleidoscope butterfly from Memory Box using both the negative and the actual diecut. 
Mouinting my negative panel on foam tape to red cardstock layered behind it.
So much dimension and adds so much class.
The sentiment is from Flags and Tags stamp set from Lil' Inker Designs.
That font is just gorgeous and there are tons of sentiments in this set!
Now, I could have used some pearls or gems but I seriously think it needs nothing more!

Have a great Friday!

Lil' Inker Designs May Release Blog Hop {Day3}

More fun from Lil' Inker Designs today! Are you ready? You should have arrived from Laura's blog.  I am super excited to share a new product to the LID line-up.....Texture Plates! One side has a Woodgrain "Frame" and one side has a Plain "Frame".  This texture plate works with any die cut machine using your usual embossing pads but for a limited time you can get them from LID if you don't have any!

I have 2 cards to share today. First up, is the new Texture Plate paired with the new small Bow Die. It's not too early to make your Father's Day cards and that's just what I did! I've used the Woodgrain Texture Plate to "frame" a Father's Day ribbon! The tails of the ribbon were stamped with the Houndstooth pattern from Flags and Tags (previously released). I love how this turned out!!  My sentiment is also from this set but I just masked off the words to make them fit on my award ribbon!

My second card focuses on the Plain side of the plate. This card is for my MIL....she will LOVE it! I've used this side to "frame" a family photo taken recently on vacation. I've kept this simple for the sheer fact I didn't want to take away from the photo.

That's it from me today but I will have another card tomorrow using this Texture Plate for a very CAS card.  Until then there is lots more inspiration from the DT showing off these dies so go check them out! Remember the prizes? This month's prizes will be a $10 store credit and a Sentiment Flags Additions set. Oh, and before I forget.....these and all the other goodies we are releasing are available RIGHT NOW! Check it out HERE.

Lil' Inker Designs May Release Blog Hop {Day 1}

Hi everyone!  Whew has it been a busy week!  But I'm back with FUN, NEW, goodies from Lil' Inker Designs!  Wait till you see what Laura and Ariana have for you this month!  Today we are showing off HOT new dies that you will surely fall in love with!  So without further ado, I introduce BOW DIES!

First up is something I knew I wanted to try with these dies as soon as I heard they were coming my way to design with.  My daughter loves hair accessories so why not make a SIMPLE headband with a gorgeous bow!  Here I've die cut both the SMALL and the LARGE bow dies and layered them together with stitches and added a fun decorative brad for it's center cuz well......you gotta have BLING!  LOL

She was not happy to have to take this picture today! 

My second project will be going off to my daughter's teacher as part of her Thank You gift for the wonderful school year they've had!  We love Mrs. Bazil and couldn't have been happier Payton was lucky enough to be in her class this year.  I found this adorable glass jar with the cute little red gingham cloth and knew it had to have a red bow for the top!  I also used a previously released stamp set called Flags and Tags to make the label.  Don't you just LOVE that font?  So perfect for these types of gifts!  This bow was created using the LARGE bow die and red felt.  Again, I found it very easy to just stitch the layers together on the backside.

That's it for me today but there is lots more inspiration from the DT showing off these dies so go check them out!  Remember the prizes?  This month's prizes will be a $10 store credit and a Sentiment Flags Additions set.  Oh, and before I forget.....these and all the other goodies we are releasing are available RIGHT NOW!  Check it out HERE.

Lil' Inker Designs March Blog Hop: Day 1

Welcome to the Lil' Inker Designs March Release!  Wait till you see all the ca-yoot stuff Laura has been "brewing" up!  Literally!  LOL  Today we are sharing the newest stamp and die set called Coffee Cozies.  This set is absolutely jam packed with fun stuff for those that LOVE coffee.  You should have arrived here via Alicia Thelin's wonderful blog!  Let's get started!!

                                   

My first card uses the Coffee Cozy dies to make up this cozy.  A little pearl accents here and there added just the right touch.  I've layered the coffee cozy on top of the large flag die from Flags and Tags.  Laura has done it again with her gorgeous sentiments for this set.  I want to mention that this set of dies has "registration marks" on it for easier alignment but by no means do you have to use them for lining them up when stamping.  I had NO trouble at all stamping my images over the die cut pieces.  Laura will be sharing a video on just how to use these new "registration marks".

My second project uses the coffee cozies WITHOUT the dies.  I don't mind at all to cut things out and these are a breeze.  I paper pieced the cozies and added some lids with pearl accents again.  I jazzed up the chevron cozy with some Cream Button Twine.  I just love this sentiment.....it's so punny!  Here, I used the smaller flag from Flags and Tags for the sentiment. 

That's it from me today but I know the rest of the DT that are showcasing Coffee Cozies will have some more great inspiration for you!  Remember that there will be prizes during the new release so please check the Lil' Inker Designs Blog for all the details!  Your next stop on today's blog hop is my best friend, Jen Carter!  Let's pop over there to see what she's got up her sleeve!

Lil' Inker Designs and CPS 254

Hello friends!  I am here today to share a card for the CPS sketch this week that is sponsored by Lil' Inker Designs!  I am very proud to be a member of this awesome DT and to work with Laura!
There is still plenty of time to get your chance at a $20 store gift certificate with this sketch!  Here is the sketch I've used:

I've combined several Lil' Inker Designs products here along with some new My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline:  All Dolled Up papers.  I used the Fringe Flower Die to make my flower out of paper!  To make my flower larger, I die cut 2 strips of paper, folded, added some glitter to the edges, and then rolled up and fluffed!  The frame and sentiment is from the Flags and Tags stamp and die set!  I just swoon every time when I see the sentiments with that gorgeous font!!!

I'll leave you with the product graphics to get your creative juices flowing!  Have a wonderful Friday!
