Lil' Inker Designs June Release - Day 3

Hi there! It's the final day of Lil' Inker Designs June release blog hop!  Today I've got a few more cards to share with you using the new Quilted Stitched Stepping Stones die, Happy Birthday To You Word Die & the super cute Cake Party stamps & dies!

I used the Quilted Stitched Stepping Stones die for the background of this card and added two layered Happy Birthday to You word dies.   I stamped the adorable giraffe from the Cake Party stamp set, colored him in with Copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut him out!   That fun yellow border is  the previously released Stitched Mini Chevron Border Die

For this next card, I used several colors of Distress Oxide Inks to blend a background, then used the Quilted Stitched Stepping Stones die to make that great embossed texture.   

I adhered the Happy Birthday to You die cut to the front and added some Nuvo Drops to the center of each of the starbursts.   Simple and fun!   I thought this would be a nice card for the guys in my life....

Well, that's a wrap on the new LID June release!   I hope you've been inspired by the design team's projects this week.   Remember to be sure to leave comments on each of the blog hop stops for a chance to win the entire June release!   If you are ready to check out all of the new items in the LID shop, click HERE  - you can also click on the individual links at the bottom of this post to take you directly to the items I've used today over at the LID shop.  Have a great weekend!

Lil' Inker Designs May Release - Day 3

It's the final day of the Lil' Inker Designs May release blog hop!   I've got one more card to share with you today - this one features the new Think Happy Thoughts stamps & dies!

I stamped the hibiscus flower on red cardstock and used an ink blending tool to add some darker red ink to the edges.   I stamped the center portion with Versamark ink and used both yellow & black embossing powder.   The leaves were stamped on green cardstock and them everything was die cut with the coordinating dies.   The fun scripty sentiment is also from Think Happy Thoughts.

I used the Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron to die cut my background piece and added it to a piece of black cardstock.   The focal panel was adhered to this and a few black pearls finish this card off!

I hope you've enjoyed the DT's project's over the past few days - this is a fabulous release and there's been a ton of amazing projects shared!   Be sure to leave comments on each of the blog hop stops for a chance to win the entire May release!  You can click on the individual links at the bottom of this post to take you directly to the items in the LID shop.   Have a fantastic week, everyone!

Lil' Inker Designs May Release - Day 2

Hello again!   I'm back with some more Lil' Inker Designs new release goodness today.  Check out these adorable new pineapple dies!

I've used three new products on today's card - the Be Sweet Stamp Set, Hawaiian Word Dies, and  Pineapple Shaker Die set.   Here I've shown how versatile this die set is....the pineapple dies can be used on their own or as a shaker (stay tuned later in the month when I'll share a shaker card)!  I just love that stitched & dotted detail layer so much!  The stamped sentiment is from Be Sweet, and that lovely layered Aloha is included in the Hawaiian Word Dies, along with the Mahalo sentiment.

Be sure to hop along for more inspiration using the new LID products, and leave comments at each stop for your chance to win the entire new release!   See you again tomorrow!

Lil' Inker Designs May Release - Day 1

Hello!   It's finally starting to feel like summer is just around the corner (aside from all of the rain we've been getting...ugh!) - and Lil' Inker Design has the most perfect release to celebrate all things summer!

Today I've got two cards to share using both the positive and negative cuts from the gorgeous new Butterfly Cover Up Die!  To create these cards, I used a rainbow of alcohol inks to create a background piece.   I used the Butterfly Cover Up die to die cut first the alcohol inked piece and then a piece from black cardstock.   

I adhered the black piece to my card base and added the multi-colored pieces with a bit of liquid glue.   The sentiment in the lower right corner is from the brand new Spread Your Wings stamp set.

For this next card, I used the positive butterfly piece of my alcohol inked background, and adhered it to a white card base.   I added the negative pieces from the black cut with some liquid glue.   The sentiment is again from the new Spread Your Wings stamp set.

I love this die because there are several ways to use it....not to mention it's just gorgeous!!!   Be sure to hop along for much more inspiration from the LID team (and our newest team member, Laura!).   Also - make sure to leave comments on each of the blogs for a chance to win the ENTIRE May release!   I'll be back again over the next few days with more projects featuring supplies from the latest release - see you soon!

Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello!!   I'm excited to be hopping along in the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!    I love these hops - it's so much fun to get inky with my coffee/tea stamp sets!   I used Lil' Inker Designs stamps & dies on today's card - I am a GINORMOUS fan of the dual dotted dies from Lil' Inker - I used both the squares and borders here.

The stamp set is called Latte Love - I paper pieced the coffee cup with papers from Doodlebug - aren't they just the cutest?   The coffee beans embossed on the white paper are from Right at Home.

Hope you've enjoyed my card today!   I can't wait to hop along and see what everyone has made.  If you want to play along, link up your card HERE!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop & Giveaway!

                                

Hi there!    I'm super excited to share my card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop, partially because I actually have it done BEFORE the start of the hop and partially because these cute images from Lil' Inker Designs make me so HAPPY!!!!   

 

I stamped the images on the bottom of the chevron paper (also from Lil' Inker) and then stamped again, colored and fussy cut the images and layered them over the images on the chevron paper.   That way I didn't have to worry about cutting their teeny tiny, adorable little legs and arms off, lol!!   I gave the donut a coating of Wink of Stella glitter pen and Glossy Accents for shimmer and shine.

I thought it was only appropriate to do a little giveaway of a Tim Horton's gift card since this IS the Coffee Lovers Bloghop, after all!   It's just a $5 gift card, but I hope the winner enjoys a delicious coffee on me! :)   To enter, just leave a comment and if you'd subscribe to my blog and/or Instagram, I'd appreciate it (buttons are on the sidebar)!   Good luck, and happy hopping, friends!!

Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop 2016

Hello, crafty friends!   I'm a few days late posting my coffee card for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop, but I had a few minutes today to photograph and blog my creation, so here you go!  

This cute stamp is called Warm Wishes from Waffle Flower, and the awesome ombre patterned paper is from Lil' Inker.   I colored and fussy cut the coffee cup/saucer, adding a few details with a white gel pen.   I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it using Liquid Platinum embossing powder from Ranger.  I created a shaker using the scalloped frame die and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.   This turned out so cute - I can't resist a shaker card....or a coffee cup with a face!  

Side note - I stopped drinking caffeinated drinks about three weeks ago because between my coffee and Diet Pepsi, I was WAY too addicted!   I just started adding in one or two cups of coffee in the morning two days ago.   Goodness, I missed my coffee!   Such a relief to have it back (in smaller quantities, lol!)  Have fun hopping along!  So much coffee goodness to see!
