LID:: April 2015 Release:: Day 1


I always love when we have a New Release Hop for Lil' Inker Designs! This April Release is exceptional, like all the others are!! You should have arrived from You should have arrived from our newest design team member's blog: Heather Hoffman if you are following the hop.


First up to show you is an cute and funky card featuring the Boxed Up Birthday Die and Party Pachyderms Stamp Set! I stamped the elephant onto a card base and just trimmed around his ear and trunk, lifting them up from the card base. This allowed me to tuck in the die cut I made from Boxed Up Birthday for a fun and festive card.




Next up I have another card featuring Pachyderm Party, some other new releases and a die from a previous release at Lil' Inker Designs! I started by stamping the elephant onto a panel that I die cut from the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles set featuring the new sizes. I then die cut two speech bubbles from the Speech Bubbles 2 set and stamped a greeting from the Just Sayin' Stamps and one from Pachyderm Party. I adhered these onto a woodgrain panel that I die cut from Stitched Mats: Long and Skinny Rectangles. This card came together so quickly!


Check out the Lil' Inker Designs Store as all of the new products are available!

Your next stop on the hop is Lea Lawson! As usual, there are prizes up for grabs so please be sure to leave a comment at each stop for your chance to win!
