Welcome back to the third and final day of the April New Release Hop for Lil' Inker Designs! The products and inspirational projects are amazing, aren't they? You should have arrived from Heather Hoffman's amazing blog if you are following the hop!
My first project showcases a few products! I started by die cutting and creating a mini-envelope from the Petal Card Die. (Check out my fellow teammates blogs to see other ways to use this die!) and stamped a vine detail from the beautiful and soft Send Pretty Greetings Stamp Set. I then created a way to secure the envelope by affixing two brads on each flap and tying a bow with May Arts Natural Burlap String. I adhered the envelope to a decorated card base that had been selectively stamped with a greeting from Send Pretty Greetings.
For the inside of the envelope I die cut numerous flowers in just two passes from the Perky Posies Die! When the envelope is opened, the posies flutter out, much like confetti.
My final project of this release features the We Connect Stamp Set with a greeting from Just Sayin'. I stamped the circles repeatedly and added my own "stitching". After I was finished, I thought they eluded to baseballs, so I went with a red card base and black and red accents. I'll give this card to one of my boys' little league coaches at the end of the season.
There are a few other products from this release that I didn't feature but are just as amazing! Glassine Mini Envelopes (works perfectly with the Petal Card Die) and Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Squares, featuring new sizes!
Your next stop is Amy Kolling!
